    Exhortation - John's 3rd Epistle

    He showed he care for their physical, we ought NOT to put any worthwhile energy at all into business and careers – Jesus Christ tells what we can and can’t do and we need to fall under his command and respond accordingly. These men in Johns letter who were travelling, were carrying a gift...

    Exhortation - John's 3rd Epistle

    Now we do not have in our possession the Holy Spirit Gifts (1 Cor 13:6,7,8) therefore ought we to preach? I cannot heal the sick? I don’t see any lepers? And I have never seen anyone be raised from the dead? But we know they were still healing sick minds? They were still getting people to see...

    Exhortation - John's 3rd Epistle

    And if we assume the 3rd Letter of John was in fact written by John in his later years somewhere between AD 85 – 90 then these men and women who were scattered abroad did flee and did begin to preach from place to place and how far reaching the Gospel was sent because of these passionate and...

    Exhortation - John's 3rd Epistle

    (3Jn 1:5) Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; Gaius understood that love cannot be in word but must be in deed and action also. And he wasn’t partial with his actions. To those he knew and those he didn’t know! (3Jn 1:6) Which have borne...

    Exhortation - John's 3rd Epistle

    Immediately John has already prayed for Gaius, before even writing this letter, John had meditated and been thoughtful towards his brother’s circumstances. (3Jn 1:2) Beloved, I (pray) wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. I pray above...

    Exhortation - John's 3rd Epistle

    John’s Third Epistle Good morning my dear friends in the Lord Jesus Christ. Maturity & Responsibility As we mature in the truth it becomes evident that our personal responsibilities to this house and our Brothers and Sisters, increases as we grow older together in the Lord Jesus Christ. It...

    Christ as the firstborn

    You may have noticed I rarely speak to you about the Spirit? The reason for this is clearly obvious. If you cannot understand the natural body how will you ever understand the spiritual body? I refuse to discuss the spiritual with you, until you clearly understand the nature vile body. 1 Cor...

    Christ as the firstborn

    The flesh is no fallacy Vengle! This doesn’t make a great deal of sense. Was Eve born of a sinner? How did her nature change after her sin? What sentence was passed? How did this sentence affect her progeny? We discussed this Vengle. Paul speaks in past tense because of faith but...

    Christ as the firstborn

    I am sitting here Vengle thinking about a Bible Study I need to prepare on Heb 12. I found a beautiful point where Paul uses the word Author and finisher of the race which is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured...

    Christ as the firstborn

    If we are not in Adam's nature then why would Paul ask you to do this? Gal 5:24? You know better than this Vengle. All flesh which is born of flesh is flesh and that flesh (John 3:6) will not be swallowed up until the end of the Millennium age. Rev 21:4 That is why Jesus represents us in that...

    Christ as the firstborn

    If one had written this to you Vengle you would shake your head and no doubt say to yourself...."lame". Rom 8:3 unanswered Sin could not have been condemned in the body of Jesus, if it had not existed there. Why would God need to condemn sin in his Son? Here is a clue Rom 3:25

    Christ as the firstborn

    Oh dear Did you just read that? Read it again and then take another look at Rom 8:3 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his (Yahweh) own Son (Jesus) in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, I never thought I...

    Christ as the firstborn

    Yes God condemned sin “in” the flesh of Jesus Christ. This is noise and confusion. Waiting for Rom 8:3 – Rom 8:1 – 1 John 2:16 – Gen 3:1,2,3,4,5,6,and so on to be answered. Ok…yes? True it is in many senses but always related to sin and death. Can sin’s flesh stand before God...

    Christ as the firstborn

    So why did Jesus need to crucify his flesh? (Rom 8:3) Eve provides the answer and fulfilment of sin’s flesh in 1 John 2:16 "That the tree was good for food" The lust of the flesh aroused. "And that it was pleasant to the eyes" The "lust of the eyes." See the AV margin: "a desire to the...

    Christ as the firstborn

    "And (Eve) gave also unto her husband with her" Vengle is unfortunately misrepresenting the actual events of Gen 3. It is true even today that sin is extremely social! its effects spread to others as leaven does in dough (1 Cor. 5:6,7). Let us follow the Apostle's advice, and purge out the...

    Christ as the firstborn

    This is error - plain - blatant - error. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Vengle stop kicking against the pricks and yield to the truth of the Scriptures. Insight
