If this is all christianty has

[justbyfaith]

One last question, how is a man saved without all your additions,

A man is saved simply by the blood of God being applied to his life (see Acts 20:28 (kjv)).

Here:

Act 20:28, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

The antichrist is not a spirit rather a person. Hitler was a forerunner of the anti-christ, and @mjrhealth is not a forerunner, nor the anti-Christ.

See 1 John 4:1-3; and you will see that there is an antichrist spirit.

 

[justbyfaith]

I am referring to the antichrist who is to come (1 Jn. 2:18) and @mjrhealth is not him, nor does he have an antichrist spirit, nor is he an antichrist because he is not opposed to Christ, or strives to be un-Christlike. His understanding of the trinity may be skewed, but that does not automatically make someone the, or a antichrist.

I will only say that his denial of Christ's Deity means that if he does not repent of that denial, he is going to die in his sins (John 8:24).

Pivotal verse there, indeed, @justbyfaith .

You bypassed the whole question.

Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

whose blood???

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

whose blood.

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

and whose name may that be

Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Who sat on the right hand side of God

Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

and who do you say He is ???

Here:

Act 20:28, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Is He not God, I am too, I live I breathe, are you not I am, do you not exist, you are adding stuff to try defend a lie.you have dug yourself a hole so deep you wont dig yourself out of it.

 

[mjrhealth]

perhaps he may come to understand Jesus is not only the son of man but also the son of God.

I Have actually said that countless times that is not the issue here. is it.

 

[mjrhealth]

Since you have said Jesus is the son of man and God then I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I full well know who Jesus is, I have stood with Him, and I full well know whom God is.

Joh 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
Joh 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

 

[mjrhealth]

Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

No need.

God bless

 

[justbyfaith]

whose blood.

God's blood.

Act 20:28, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

 

[justbyfaith]

Yes, but God the Father is Spirit, and spirit has not flesh. Do you mean God the Son, Jesus?

Of course I'm saying that that teaches us that Jesus is God...

 

[justbyfaith]

So, by "God's blood" you mean Jesus's blood?

Most definitely.

 

[justbyfaith]

Ta.

What is Ta.?

 

[justbyfaith]

It means "thank you."

Oh Ok. Ta.

 

[mjrhealth]

God's blood.

Act 20:28, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Need I say more.....

ill leave it to others....

Many are called to the body but few are chosen to minister to the body.
Even fewer are elected from the chosen to make up the bride.
We are all part of God's pipeline of provision to a lost and dying world.
What an awesome privilege!
Picture holding a pencil, point between you left thumb and index finger and flat end between your right finger and thumb.
You read either left to right or right to left to get the surface message of God's word.
Now roll the pencil between your index fingers and thumbs so that you are now reading vertically.
This is the second dimension of God's written word.
Lay the horizontal line across the vertical line and you have a cross!
God is so creative!
The horizontal revelation of the written word is only found in the original Hebrew text which means we have a two-dimensional view of the three-dimensional word of our three-dimensional God, aka Elohim (Genesis 1:26).

This is good

Folks mix up conditions for salvation with conditions for discipleship, the only condition for salvation is "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved ... to as many as received Him to them gave He the power to become the sons of God"

But if we are called to discipleship, ministry then this is very costly.

Trouble with the church with it's human freewill philosophy is every man Jack [and girl Jill] think they can tuck a bible under their arm and become a minister ... their main weapon of warfare seems to be the wagging finger ... no call needed, no consecration or unctioning, no sending forth by the assembly ... just up and have at 'em. Find some christians and start flogging 'em.

 

[Billy Evmur]

well you see they would have to want to be found, but i have noticed some love there religion and their own path to Him, not His doing but their choice, God will no stand against someones free will, doesnt mean they wont be saved, they just choose teh lesser path, and will miss out on the good things of God.

Paul didn't "want to be found" he wanted to find some believers to kill.

He must have witnessed the miracles Stephen did, heard the irrefutable wisdom with which he preached, it just made him madder. God knocked him off from his high horse ... God is able in the twinking of an eye to "revive" His church, the rapture proves it because in a twink of an eye we will all be changed. Times and seasons are in the Father's hand.

A study of revivals will show that they come when nobody expects them ... and a great many miss them because they come in a fashion they did not expect and in a manner they disapprove of.

God's garden in winter is still God's garden.

The written scripture is the body, the dead body, of Christ.
Jesus brought us Life so it might be quickened in us by the Life given Spirit.
Then as He arose from the dead, so might we also rise from the dead!

You are so wrong!

The written Word is alive and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword. It points to the Living Word and gives us the information to make faith alive.

 

[tabletalk]

You don't believe in the living and true Jesus Christ of Nazareth; your Jesus is another Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible (2 Corinthians 11:3-4; John 8:58, Exodus 3:14; Hebrews 1:8-9).

He's also been to heaven more than once, and talked to god face to face. So he has said.

 

[amadeus]

Am I wrong? Consider the devil quoting verses from the 91st psalm:

"Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." Matt 4:5-6

The devil was quoting scripture at Jesus and Jesus rebuked him quoting from Deut. 6:16:

"Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Matt 4:7

When the devil quoted scripture without the quickening of the Holy Spirit, it was not the Word of God. It was dead. Jesus being the Word of God, when He spoke always spoke the Word of God.

When a dyed in the wool atheist quotes scripture trying to trip up a good Christian his quotation is scripture, but it is dead. It is Not the Word of God.

When a follower of Christ, a Christian, is not in the Spirit of God and speaks from his old carnal mind, even though he quotes a scripture it is Not the Word of God. Lots of mixed messages come from that...

On this forum if you read through some of the debates you will see people citing the scriptures for diametrically opposed viewpoints based on the same scriptures. The mixed doctrines of people based on the Bible [any version or translation or language] is a primary reason why we see hundreds and even thousands of denominations in existence each claiming reliance on the scriptures yet often unable to agree on even a few essential beliefs or doctrines.

People's problem in this is that their old man is really still alive and in part he has been involved in establishing all of these differing doctrines based on the scriptures. Apostle Paul warned people to Not quench the Spirit, but people do it regularly and they teach other people to do it in their church services when they make up man's rules of order instead of really striving to allow God to have His Way...
