    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    So Alethos has Jesus delivering himself as an example that we might also deliver ourselves? As in...good luck buddies! Jesus redeemed Himself so that we could learn how to redeem ourselves by copying? Jesus died for His own sins so that now we can die for our own sins? So in this scheme...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    We are delivered by His blood. He is the Deliverer not the delivered one. Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Let's look more closely at your error. Imagine you order a pizza...

    For as were the days of Noah...

    Noah and his family were not the light of the world. They did not fellowship in the light. They were only righteous men....operating in their own strength. They were obeying God's command.....obedience! This is the OT condition. Obedience to the commands of the Lord in one's OWN STRENGTH. No...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    Heb 13:20,21 Shows the mechanism used to raise Jesus Christ (yes) The blood of the everlasting covenant came from the fact that Jesus Christ is fully God AS WELL as fully man. If Jesus is just a man then you are still dead in your sins....yes! ...YOUR sins! A Christian disciple seeks to...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    I believe what Truth is teaching is that Jesus was.... 100% man AND (wait for it...) 100% man! He sees Jesus as a kind of Buddha who we are supposed to emulate in our flesh. But was Jesus just a realy good guy? Or the Son of God? Truth then states that Jesus can't be God or else He...

    We are to give as we have received, forgive as we have been forgiven and love as we have been loved!

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    Yes! I think so! :) It's more like leaven...The kingdom of God is like leaven...a little was added and the whole is leavened! The scattering of Ephraim has nothing to do with DNA or race. It is spiritual in nature. God wanted the promises to be available to all. So He spread Ephraim the way...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    All Israel here does not mean all Israelites. All Israel is used on both sides of the border. Look at this! Eze 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write uponit, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    The verses you quoted show that some of the Northern tribes came to Jerusalem to sacrifice! This took place for 3 years! Then Rehoboam forsook the law! (Chap 12;1) and all of Israel that were in in Judah followed suit! But all of Israel in Ephraim did not fight with them. Rehoboam and...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    What I am saying is that Ephraim was NOT incorporated into Judah. You have shown that a few trans-migrated. That is all. But Ephraim was not incorporated but rather scattered to the winds. They were cast away! But that is not the end of the story! That is...until the Lord pined for them again...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    I ask you to do a study on Ephraim...this is synonymous with the lost tribes of Israel. Jer 7:15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Isa 7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    One should not take seriously someone who reads a few verses that go against hundreds of others in order to prove as wrong the plan of God. You are setting Israel against Israel. “2 Chr 11:1 ¶ And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    The 10 lost tribes of Israel are a reality! The Northern kingdom was obliterated and spread among other nations. The Assyrians knew how to conquer. God used these conquerors to destroy the physical entity called Israel. Only Judah survived (with Benjamin and a remnant of Levi). The 10 Northern...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship" (Romans 12:1). “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    He is not a Buddha! We cannot do what He did. It is impossible! Jesus Christ empowers us to overcome through HIM! So we surrender our lives and bodies to Christ to be indwelt of Christ. THEN we can overcome as He did. But the spiritual darkness in the old man is crucified with Christ. He took...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    17Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Sinful flesh??? This is wrong. The flesh is weak not sinful. God didn't make flesh...
