    Christ is not an Israelite/Jew....cont.

    Christ is not an Israelite or a Jew. He WAS an Israelite/Jew, a descendant of Jacob/Israel by his mother according to his flesh and blood, but when He died, His Israeli/Jewish nature died, and He was resurrected bodily as a Life-Giving Spirit. His mortal, Jewish/Israeli body died and was...

    New blood covenant and new covenant to Israel and Judah

    The the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God, the New Covenant unto Salvation for both Jew and Gentile..... to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16, Romans 2:10 The Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached first to the Jews. When they rejected it, God sent the Gospel to the...

    Exactly. That is my point.

    Whore or a Virgin

    The seal of God is needed in a world full of the spirit of antichrist, which the Word says is "already in the world". The Seal of God is not just to keep you from the Final AntiChrist but to keep you from the antichrist spirit which is already here. That's why everyone who is Born Again is...

    Water Baptism:

    Yes. He also said to take the Lords Supper, but that doesnt mean eating bread and wine saves your soul.

    Water Baptism:

    Ah yes, but notice how Noah was saved from the waters of the flood and Moses was saved from the Egyptians by passing THRU the water of the red sea. Salvation did come from the water. Salvation brought them THRU the water. It wasn't the water that was cleansing their soul. They never got wet...

    Christians and Guns

    I find it interesting that Jesus A) Told His disciples to buy weapons (Luke 22:36) B) Told them not to use them (John 18:11) It's as if God allows his sheepdogs to bear their teeth, but doesn't want them actually biting. God has allowed me to own guns, and I used them to protect people and...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    When Jesus told John the Revelator in Revelation 22:18... "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book" ... do you believe Jesus was talking about the Book of Revelation only or the entire...

    The Mystery Revealed

    Soul Man is correct in that the "Mystery" is Christ in us. CNKW3 is correct in that the "Mystery" is Christ's Spirit coming into both Jew and Gentile, making One Body in which there is now neither Jew NOR Gentile. I appreciate you both for bringing the Revelation of this Mystery to the...

    Water Baptism:

    You're spot on! Many people misinterpret the "water" in John 3:5 to be speaking of water baptism, but it is speaking of the water in your mother's womb when you are born of flesh. The only way to be saved is to be Baptized in the Spirit (Born of God). Water baptism is a picture/type/image of...

    How do you hear from God?

    Usually, when I ask God for guidance and get no reply, He is actually saying "You decide". He doesn't speak more than I really need Him to. I have the whole of Scriptures and Godly advisors, common wisdom and a plethora of knowledge resources at my disposal. With all God's already given...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    The Scriptures are all God's doing, but the Scriptures are not all God's done.

    Witnessing to JWs

    When I (and most people) say "Trinity", we are referring to the "Godhead", which is in the Bible (Colossians 2:9). We understand both the "Trinitarianism" and the "Oneness" of the GodHead.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Yes. He is the First and the Last Word of God.
  16. Jon Mathews

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Pretty much. The last Word is "Yahshua" which being translated is "I AM Salvation".

    Difference between Soul and Spirit

    The first time I clearly saw the difference between my soul and my spirit was when my brother, full of the Spirit, quoted this Word to me: (Hebrews 4:12) "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,..." I could...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Not according to Jesus. The Rich man was quite aware of his torment and thirst while he was in hell. Luke 16:19-31

    Scripture is not the last word.

    I agree the last Word is in Spirit. But what is that last Word?
