When did I start. About 40 years ago I received the Spirit of God. The power of God transformed me and made me a new creation.

That is the start, but that will not save you alone. If Constantine was baptised in the name of Jesus and received the Holy Spirit, then he is born again. If we went through the motions for the sake of his kingdom and not the kingdom of God, then it is an empty ritual. Without the Spirit of God, you are not a new creation. You need to be led by…[Read more]

Hi PC,
We see you agree that Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is the path we should follow so when did you enter the Kingdom?
Proclaimer replied to the topic The Ordinary Jesus Brigade in the forum Truth or Tradition 2 years, 7 months ago
I received a new Spirit. Then when I read scripture, I had faith in the message and believed it. Not only was my mind renewed, but I was given a deep passion for the truth. Because of this, it is relatively easy to spot a lie and to spot a person who intentionally blinds themselves because they don’t love the truth. Instead, some prefer their own…[Read more]

Hi PC,
So tell us when you were reborn from above and enlightened by the Spirit to understand deep spiritual matters.

Hi DT,
A woman from Lydia, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.And when she and her household had been baptised, she urged us saying,
”If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay”
And she prevailed on us.
Acts 16.…[Read more]

You guys as usual miss the point.
Although he existed in the form of God, he emptied himself, came in the flesh, humbled himself, and obeyed his Father. Now he is in the glory with the Father that he had with him before the cosmos.
Obviously then, he is a man just like us.
Did you get it this time?
Your argument that he is a man thus cannot…[Read more]

Hi DT,
Have you yet figured out that winning arguments is not a priority?

Hi DT,
Yes.<span style=”text-align: right;”> Only God can show you that you need to be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Your reliance on your reasoning is the foundation of your belief system and arguments are futile .</span>

Desire Truth……AT the time of Jesus , both The kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah no longer existed.

You: “Thinkers, like yourself, have got to commit intellectual suicide”
Me: So I am suppose to give up my skills of reasoning when it comes to understanding what is said in the NT, this characteristic that God implanted in me – which God also has because I am created in HIS image – and blindly follow the words of man?

Hi DT,
Thinkers, like yourself, have got to commit intellectual suicide, and simply accept what God teaches without analysis and criticism because it is the simple and childlike ones who find the truth by obedience.
“ Thank you Father, for revealing to mere children what you have withheld from the wise and clever of this world.”
It will not be easy.

Hi DT,
You need to listen to God and obey Him and be reborn into His Son, Jesus Christ, of water and the Spirit, to begin your new and useful life. Then everything else you need will be given to you.

@Gene,
The verse posted again for reference:
Matt 10:23 “Whenever they persecute you in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”
You mention the House of Israel but not the House of Judah; this is the northern and southern kingdoms respectively. Yes…[Read more]

And you still can’t answer a question; your inability to answer what I have asked makes your silence deafening.
All I have done is read words on a page and when the words don’t align, it creates questions. For you, it’s okay and you blindly accept them without question because someone told you it was “the spirit who wrote the scriptures…[Read more]

Hi DT,
There is hope because Paul was on a much feared murderous mission against the Body of Christ, convinced in his pharisaical zeal that he was serving God, when he was toppled from his high place becoming blind, then healed and anointed with wisdom and power. He became an amazing servant of God so why should we give up on you.

Hi DT,
You need assurance that God is not lying and the Son and those in him are also truthful witnesses?
I believe and I believe in the Spirit Who wrote the scriptures through men. I expect to understand how it all fits together when the Son returns and gathers up his sheep.
Trust in God is a huge stumbling block for you poor fellow and you…[Read more]

How was Jesus a descendant of David when Jesus’ daddy was the spirit? Same question I asked Carmel and received some spiritualized nonsense for a response. When the OT explicitly states the Messiah was to be of the seed (zera) of David; what say you?

Flat earthers say that the North Pole is at the center of the dome, and magnetic north is approximately there too. However, the question arises: where can we locate the South Pole? After all, you can’t have a magnetic north without a corresponding magnetic south (a concept familiar to most from our school days). So, the precise location of the…[Read more]
