    The In Christ Doctrine

    The "in Christ" is rather the place where a person is when he is "in the Spirit". Once he has received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, he could with God's help always be in the Spirit, but all of us have repeatedly quenched the Holy Spirit of God. When we quench the Spirit in us then work of God...

    go to hell.....I dont care

    I don't recall all of the details, but twinc is NOT in sync with a number of the teachings of the RCC today. He would get along better with the RCC to which I belonged [prior to 1961] which was all pre-Vatican II [mid 1960's]. Vatican II made some very significant changes and twinc was a...

    Who Can Be Saved?? Anyone, Everyone, All, Who so ever calls on the Name of the Lord!!

    Indeed, for me the key to these troubled areas is what exactly Life is and what is death. All of mankind since Adam and Even, except for Jesus, were effectively born dead in the eyes of God. God sent Jesus so that Life could be obtained, but something must be done to obtain it. Anyone who is...

    Questions

    The Apostle Paul did address this issue or a similar one, I believe, here: "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Because a person does not have an answer to every question you ask does not mean the person is incorrect on the the most important things, does it? Because there are places in which you or I cannot see a parable, does that mean that there is not one in it for one to whom God has given the "eyes...

    "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." II Tim 2:15 But... "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecc 12:12 And... "But...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    You needn't be so defensive. I would not presume to know whether or not you have only scratched the surface of what God has for you in scripture. God has not shared with me the depths of your heart, but I also have no doubt that He knows it even better than you.

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Read not just the one verse, but both verses and then... "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; " Heb...

    Establishing Peace Through God

    @Evangelist Attiqa Shad Welcome to the forum!

    What part of 'you know not' do you not understand?

    Perhaps Hezekiah had better idea than most for God gave him 15 more years. He would have known when the end of the 15 years was drawing near.

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Most certainly. Sometimes people who have studied long and well think they understand the Bible, but usually [always?] they have only just scratched the surface of what God placed in it.

    One Fold.....One Shepherd ?

    What I see is that each of us has a monster [or monsters] within which needs to done away with or killed. Sometimes it may seem convenient for some to say that some other critter [red with horns, a pointed tail and armed with a pitchfork] is the real culprit. Whether such a critter exists or not...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    I was not saying that you are wrong, for your point is certainly a valid one, but God speaks many messages to us through the scripture and sometimes the same verses have multiple messages depending on where the recipient is and what he needs at the moment according to God. The water itself...

    addicted to excess food consumption.

    I cannot answer directly regarding the physical part of it, but I know as you do, that our God is able in every situation. At times He has provided instantaneously complete physical healing for people, but if He does not, do not get discouraged. The important thing is remember what you...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    I know twinc that you only seem to be hopeless for God still holds out hope for you... even though when you are the source you hold it as always accurate, while comes from any who disagrees with you it is imagination. God does speak to people's hearts through the Holy Spirit. Under the law God...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    Indeed, the water which drowned the rest of the world is like the water on which Peter walked until he looked away from Jesus at the apparent dangers around him. Then he started to sink in the sea of lost humanity. Peter was not lost because he cried out..."Lord save me"

    The Great Apostacy

    @Job one @bbyrd009 Or just let each on either side slide in his own direction, both directions for the most part missing the Lord as they got involved in the passing. Sounds a little bit like many of the discussions on this forum, doesn't it?

    One Fold.....One Shepherd ?

    Perhaps if they recognized that Peter was still "satan" at least part of the time with regard to gentiles until God clarified things for him in Acts chapter 10, they would understand all of it better as well.

    One Fold.....One Shepherd ?

    Ah yes, for me I have found that the gentiles are heathen, even if they may be by carnal blood, Hebrews [Jews?]. The apostle Paul approached it from the other direction when he said: "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:" Rom...
