I could have resisted answering to this thread...but I just couldn't! :)

The order of Melchizedek is according to the righteousness of God. The name itself means..."my king of righteousness". So this speaks of Christ. Does it also apply to those who have Christ ruling in their hearts and minds?

Very good! The elect are to rule over the saved ones from the nations. Election is unto glory. Obedience is unto salvation.

Chaplains are just blessing mortal and carnal means. Praise the Lord and pass the ammo! There is Charley Chaplain of course. But I don't think he condoned blessing weapons.

Rather than blessing missiles and such, why not live as a light with other Christians. Blessing weapons of carnal warfare is not the same as warring in the Spirit. Such a twisted web we have spun...and this from the crusading efforts of carnal man trying to bring glory to God...but in total...

The Jewish sabbath is not saturday, but rather the first day of the week beginning at sundown on friday.

There are 2 general resurrections. One is for the household of God and one for the nations. The first is pre-mil. The saints are judged for honour or dishonour. The second is post-mil. The righteous are separated from the wicked among the nations. This is for life or death.

Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh. He has joined Himself to His own creation in Christ. He has perfected forever the fusion of God and man into a NEW creation of which the man Jesus is the first-born. Jesus Christ is FULLY God and FULLY man! As such He is the Mediator between God and men...

There is some merit to what you are saying of course. But the true representation of Joseph (Ephraim) remains scattered among the nations. God knows they who are His. The call has gone out to ALL nations to be included in the return of Ephraim. Ephraim (and the book of Hosea) represent the...

The bible lays out the gospel as POWER unto salvation. Paul preached in word AND power. Without power from heaven to walk as Jesus walked we are still slaves of sin. We are still stuck operating in the flesh. But the flesh power must die in order for us to partake of the life of Christ. Those...

The grace of God is His strength being made manifest in us! Miraculous things FOLLOW those who are the Lord's.

Jesus will not justify either the wicked or the flesh. Neither will He justify disobedience! It takes a lot of indoctrination to not be able to see this. Ask anyone on the street. :)

Good post!!! :)

Salvation is IN Christ. As we abide in Him we are abiding in He who saves us. I think you have completely missed the purpose of the bible. The gospel of grace you see as a scheme to let it all slide...by claiming you are covered for an inside track on doing nothing because of a misplaced belief...

God will never justify the wicked. Jesus' obedience was done so that we could also be empowered to obey the same as He. Thart is why disciples are called FOLLOWERS (not just beneficiaries) You are seeing Jesus as someone to gain an advantage from...not become like. A disciple is learning...

Why does your reasoning go against the scriptures? Obedience is better than sacrifice. It is far better to obey God than constantly need to be forgiven. Good works are the fruit of obedience.

Could the bible have been written in such a way as to weed out the "lawyers" among us?

The question proves a confusion between salvation and the Holy Spirit. There is also a confusion of doing things in one's own strength and through the Spirit. The bible says...obedience is better than sacrifice. Would you say that Jesus' sacrifice is better than obedience? This shows the logic...

Have anyone come up with a skewed theory as to why only the gospel of John says one must be born again?

Jesus Christ fulfilled the promise of visitation to the people of Jerusalem. Jesus paid His vows in the flesh to His people according to the flesh. To the Jew FIRST and then the Gentile....not...To the Jew and NOT the Gentile. So Jesus called out the Jews first. It is like the parable of the...
