No, as my conclusions are not based on grammar or the proper versus improper tenses or translations. I have studied both Spanish and German with three semesters of Latin thrown in for good measure. I have been reading my Bibles daily in Spanish, German and English for many years to keep up the...

Notice that the post of mine your quoted is questions. The way you put is likely closer to the truth. We will not all of us parts of the Body suddenly be connected completely and perfectly to one another and to Jesus. In a measure the connections with some already exist and the connections with...

Sorry without looking it up I haven't a clue who Mr. or Sir Anderson is. It is a good enough conclusion as far as it goes, but the way I see it is that today the definitions of "Christians" and "Christianity" have already been changed for most people. The changes in the definitions people...

@marks What I meant was many people presume that the definition that they or other people have put on the word, good, are exactly the same as God's. They most certainly are not. In the scripture it is written that only God is good. As I see man in general does not believe that and too often...

Thank Helen! Your little extra there may have swayed me more heavily toward the separation for the Bride because she is the flawless one. The whole of the Body are all "saved", but that means their hearts are right even though they have some flaws as you indicate. It fits in also with the...

And here you are again standing in judgment about things on which you obviously really know nothing at all. Why have you not at least learned enough to know when to be silent? Even Jesus who knew so much recognized that sometimes silence was the will of God?

If you have read my many posts on this forum you have already read a number of my testimonies, but since you raise the idea this is about what happened back quite a few years ago... Please note that if it were only for you, I might remain silent, but others reading it here might be edified: My...

OK so no "road to Damascus" type of experience exists for you. When the hungry seeker asks of you, in your answer to him you will give him chapter and verse. I guess I missed that. On which post did you give book, chapter and verse of your conversion? Was it on this thread? [I have not read...

Perhaps we are accountable to God to the extend that we can be. God alone really knows that extent and is alone able to render a fair any judgment based on that: "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given...

So you are here ready to quickly criticize the words of other confessed believers yet you refuse to abide by the words that Peter wrote. Well it is your privilege not to answer but as long as you refuse to share what God has given you should not be expecting many to seriously listen to whatever...

Are you not even a witness to your own conversion from a person abiding in death to person renewed in the Spirit of God? You have no testimony of that? What do you think the following verse means? "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man...

Good answer but consider who is or should be included in the pronoun "we". Consider the many who suppose themselves to already be and proclaim it sometimes loudly... while doing nothing. How does one grow in the Lord? Aren't many now still children unnecessarily because they have stunted their...

If I have not already written here what I believe about the Body of Christ what more can I say to express myself more clearly? When was it or that the bones in Ezekiel came to Life? The Body of Christ will come to Life when it is God's time. Do we need to know that time? Why? We don't need every...

I only wish to believe the truth. What you present is your belief which you think is truth. Should I believe it simply because you do? Should I believe it because many in the past have believed it or currently do believe it? Does a person receive his faith from another person or even a group of...

So are you going say that man's definition of "good" will overlay God's? God's definition is God Himself. How well do we know Him and understand Him. Are you or am I past where Paul was when he spoke of seeing as through a glass darkly now with the face to face being then? How is it that we are...

@bbyrd009 amadeus said: ↑ "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made...

If we were the Body now, why would there be so much confusion and disagreement even among those who undoubted love God? Is there sinlessness in all of those Body parts? Jesus died with a flawless record without sin to be the Head of the Body. Will His Body be flawed when it comes to Life? Are...

I have heard or read this previously. Presuming the state of Israel which exists today is the same one mentioned in prophecy it might fit, but I haven't fitted together enough of the pieces of the puzzle yet to make any definite statement. What God allows may not be understood, especially by...

No, we don't get there alone, but no man other than Jesus is able to provide the necessary help. Why should we need any other man with us? Because you cannot find a verse of scripture supporting getting save all alone? Are you not subject to and connected to the Head? If you are then leave the...

You are the one who wrote that the OT prophets were saved before that... presumably from the context meaning before they were called by God. I included verses which seem to contradict your statement in post #5 I most definitely have never believes in once saved always saved as you suggest...
