According to the scriptures Gods 10 commandments have the same role in the new covenant as they always had in the old covenant and that is to give us the knowledge of good (moral right doing when obeyed) and evil (moral wrong doing when disobeyed); sin (moral wrong doing when disobeyed) and...
To find this answer, one looks in the Bible
"I see baptism as a means of accepting that Jesus died for my sins so that I may be forgiven"
There are verses for that statement.
Acts 2:38-39 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of...
Hi there, I don't think we've talked before, but I was just enjoying your post, and wanted to respond, and with more than one thing, but along the way, I felt this is important on a place like RF (Religious Forums) to improve wording:
Since only a smallish minority would agree that was the...
In context Romans 6:7 means that our body is ruled by sin and after we die and are freed from this body we no longer sin.
(going further the spiritual body we are raised in is a body that is able to be controlled by our spirit, and hence it is called a spiritual body)
Romans6:5 For if we have...
You are free to believe all that and you will, because that is what you want to believe and that is what you have been taught by your Church. I could go over all the Bible verses and tell you what I believe they mean but it would make no difference, because you are going to believe what you...
Satan is the father of the lie. (John 8:44) Satan contradicted Jehovah God by telling Eve the lie that she would not die if she ate of the fruit of the tree. As stated before, the Bible simply says fruit. It does not say what kind of fruit it was. (Genesis 3:1-6)
The first reference to death in...
*Sigh* ......that scripture isn't saying what most people think it's saying....and especially to those who are not Christians. You can quote Christian scripture all you want....if it doesn't apply to you, it isn't talking to you.
When humans die, they don't go anywhere. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10)...
The temple will rebuilt so the antichrist can defile it and proclaim himself god sitting in it. the whole world will worship him before the real true Jesus returns.
I like how you have been thinking outside the box. However, I believe it may even be much closer than the date you gave.
To me, the slight inaccuracy you may have in your theory is using the temple destruction in 70 AD as the starting point for the parallel. I tend to think the starting point...
Very convenient. None of us will be alive to point out your error when it doesn't happen. None of the predicted dates for his return have been true. What makes yours so special?
Jesus also spoke of another baptism in the name of the F, S, and HS, which He commanded of His followers to perform on others Matthew 28:19, which is not the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, because that Jesus would do Himself, and so He did in Acts 2:2-4 and in Acts 10:44-46. Peter spoke of this...
First I see no refutation that baptism being a work is not a scriptural teaching.
Acts 10:47-48 (as has already been stated) establishes that baptism in Jesus's name is in water.
Matthew 16:16 is a parallel to Matthew 28:19. Matthew 16:16 and Acts 2:38-39 therefore are in water.
Romans6:5...
All Matt 3:11 said is that Jesus would, and so He did Acts 2:2-4, and Acts 10, the only times "Baptism with the Holy Spirit" was mentioned. Acts 1:5 even said it would happen not many days hence, and so it did Acts 2:2-4. Baptism with the Holy Spirit is not baptism in Jesus's name, because it's...
Having faith in Jesus/being baptized in Jesus's name does not mean that Jesus's completed work was not enough, because His completed work was His part, and placing our faith in Him/being baptized in His name is our part.
It is exactly the same.
So basically, Peter, to whom Jesus gave the keys to...
The norm practiced by peoples around the world was child sacrifice.
But Isaac.... Isaac is the moment when everything begins to change.
Issac was the beginning of the end of child sacrifice.
It was the sea change. The moment the wind dances and shifts, and a new thing is born.
Genesis 22:8...
The Bible is its Own Best Interpreter
by Dave Miller, Ph.D.
(This is a small part of the lesson)
But doesn’t the Bible teach that baptism is, in fact, a symbol? Doesn’t baptism have “symbolic” significance? Yes, the Bible assigns symbolic significance to baptism in regard to at least three...
