I haven't read this whole thread, so I'll just answer the question of what is the ROCK. Peter's statement is the Rock or Foundation of the Church. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Hey, brother! Love you!

Yes, C has permeated all denominations it seems. Look at Revelation 3:1. That refers to those at the beginning of the Reformation (C and ML). Verse 4 is John Wesley and others who fought C.

That is why Paul told us a fact about being born again and what the Spirit does to our sin nature. We are dead to sin due to the cleansing blood of Jesus - fact. But we are also to reckon ourselves dead to sin. Paul learned this in the Old Testament Scriptures. Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinks...

I agree; it's called apostasy. It is because we have free will. Paul gave us the command to not quench the Spirit. But if someone is truly begotten of God, apostasy is hard to do. Most obey their Spirit-sensitized conscience. Obedience keeps us calm and happy. It looks like you study God's...

No, to say that Jesus did not take away our sin is what is blasphemous. 1 John 3:5; John 8:34-36 What you need to do is find out what John means.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Matthew 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by...

Sin is lawlessness. 1 John 3:4. Those are sins unto DEATH. No sin is righteousness, not perfection. Both righteous and holiness that is mature in the fruit of the Spirit is PERFECTION. 2 Peter 1:2-11.

You wouldn't believe me.

Tony! @Ritajanice is right.

Lawlessly, a sin unto death? 1977 A trespass not unto death? This year, and I asked for forgiveness and went to the person I harmed. I hope she will forgive me.

The problem with many Christians when reading the Bible they take verses out of context. Take for instance Paul's teaching on the carnal experience vs. the born again experience, Romans 1 thru 8. Many take a verse out of one of the middle chapters of 3, 4 or 5 and teach we are not under the law...

You can see how God views sin from the Old Testament, our schoolmaster. Sins not unto death: Numbers 15:22-29 Sins unto death (there are no sacrifices for these mortal sins) Numbers 15:30-36; 1 John 3:4 Laws Concerning Unintentional Sin 22 ‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all...

Everything you are saying is true for an unsaved person. Please add scriptures for your proof. I need to see why you think this way. We aren't talking about Perfection. We are talking about the first step when Christ takes us from death to life. He takes the desire to commit lawlessness against...

Like the word flesh has two meanings - carnal nature or body; the soul has two meanings - heart or person. That's why we need to read in context, context, contest!

The "old man" dies. You're not dead yet are you? Again, of the three (spirit, soul, body) what dies and is born again is the spirit and soul, our nature. Our nature is called clean John 15:1-4. I call that sinless, just to see your reaction. LOL. John calls it righteous Revelation 22:11 and 1...

Maybe the water splits like at the Red Sea! LOL

I agree with you. Romans 11 is talking about national Israel and out of her there is Spiritual Israel which Christian Gentiles are grafted into it. But Paul says that national Israel will only be partially blind UNTIL the last Gentile that wants to be saved believes. Then all Israel will be...

I attend a very small country church that was originally Methodist. We left the denomination because of their ordaining homosexual bishops. The denomination went through a major split over that. All 7 churches are 3-fold prophecies. They are to the local churches as you said, but also to the...

I see these as prophecies of 7 different eras from the beginning on the Day of Pentecost to the end. Let me show you. First Romans 11:25-27 shows that there will be a set number of Gentiles that will believe in Christ. This is also shown in 2 Thess. 2:8-12 where God casts a strong delusion on...
