    Evidence that Jesus was the Messiah

    COLOSSIANS 1 : 15 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of creation." COLOSSIANS 1 : 18 "And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he may have supremacy." Jesus said you had to be born again...

    Evidence that Jesus was the Messiah

    Messiah means anointed. The king was anointed with oil. Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was anointed by the Spirit in the river Jordan. The kiasm in Daniel 9 has the prophecy of Jesus coming as the Anointed One. He was to come 483 years after Artaxerxes decree to REBUILD AND RESTORE...

    The Atonement Doctrine (Did Jesus Die For Our Sins?)

    I've shown this in several posts, but here is another try. You are using the wrong definition of words. Every use of "SIN" in the Bible is not trusting God. Satan has put it in our minds it has to do with our moral actions. That is another definition of sin, but not the one to understand...

    The Gospels. Any 'Difficult' verses?

    Jesus said his words were Spirit and they give life. His meaning of temple was not the literal temple. he meant his body. The apostles were given the Spirit at Pentecost. Their words written in Scripture are Spirit. What is mankind's definition of righteous? A moral person, right? It's not the...

    The Gospels. Any 'Difficult' verses?

    omega2xx Then how have the verses I presented been resolved in your mind? Since you stated your religion, I presume you believe in a god that does judge.

    Christians, which Old Testament Laws to obey, and which to ignore?

    shmogie Consider that you are not using the right laws in your premise. The law that Jesus fulfilled was the law of love-Ten Commandments. God gave us the wine analogy to understand what was happening about revealing his character. He compared Israel to a vineyard and said they never produced...

    Misquote in the Gospel

    Omega2xx You said it is important that we are able to love. Satan has put that lie in men's minds since creation. We for the most part don't love. We have freewill which is INWARD SEEKING. We live for the most part under the law of greed. The Greeks had numerous words for love. The apostles...

    Why I think "own" should not be there; Proverbs 3:5

    savagewind As long as humans have freewill, guided by ourselves, this world will be in the chaotic state it is now in. Think of the prodigal son. God used this parable to tell us that, yes I'll let you do things on your own (have freewill) and freely welcome you back home when you realize that...

    Why I think "own" should not be there; Proverbs 3:5

    Savagewind Here is something no one will agree with. We are not supposed to have freewill. Eating off the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was an analogy by God for using your freewill. Choosing for yourself what is bad or good for you is eating off the tree. No one realizes that Satan is...

    Old Testament versus New Testament

    God gave us an analogy to understand what has happened. The verse I quoted in Jeremiah is followed by this: JEREMIAH 13 : 12 "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine." God gave a word that nobody should be fooled into thinking was to be taken...

    Old Testament versus New Testament

    God made a covenant with the Jews to be their god. What ever they asked he did. They asked for a human king and he allowed them a human king although he was supposed to be their king. At Mount Sinai they asked for a pagan god. God simply gave them what they asked for. God had said if they would...

    The Gospels. Any 'Difficult' verses?

    So, Jesus isn't seeking glory, but the truth is. How exactly does the truth seek glory? Does deception seek glory too? How about frugality? Do these inert things seek?

    The Gospels. Any 'Difficult' verses?

    Can there be a punishment with no judgment? John 8: 50 said the one seeking glory was the judge. Your answer is not explaining the verse. Who is seeking glory? God's WORD throughout Scripture was that he was agape love. The Christian church rejects that tenant, do you?

    The Perfect Law of God

    None of the laws HAVE TO KEPT. God is unconditional love. Unconditional means there are NO conditions that have to be met. BUT, God as a loving God gave advice on how to live a happy life. If you don't keep the commandments your life will not be as fulfilled as it would if you had kept them...

    Is "salvation" possible under the Law?

    You'll never understand scripture if you use the definitions of words made by man. JOHN 6 : 63 "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN to you ARE SPIRIT and they are life." World religions have used definitions created by mankind instead of using the...
