Hi Berean,

CHRIST means ANOINTED.

The Spirit of Christ is the Spirit of anointing.

Without his anointing at the Jordan by the Holy Spirit

Jesus would have remained just a pious man, devoted to serving his God.

@Berean,

Isa 59:2 doesn’t explain why I need a Messiah for salvation. This verse states it is sin/iniquity that separates us from God. Nowhere does it state because of this separation we need a Messiah to get back to God. God said to repent, turn from your wickedness, and your sin will be remember no more. Since sin will separate us from God, all…[Read more]

@ DT

Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Sin separates us from God since Adam and Eve….If God through the Son, sent from the Father, had not approached the first couple, humanity would have had no hope….(Genesis 3: 8-24)

@Nick

you: “Such obvious contempt for God and His ways. yet he can post in the believer’s section?”

me: Obviously you don’t read the left side of your bible, I am simply repeating what is there. Since you are unable to answer questions, I will spare both of us the trouble and tell you to start reading the prophets.

I detect fear in your words a…[Read more]

@Berean,

Oops, that previous post was meant for you not Danny.

Hi to all

THE GIVER OF WISDOM

Born of slave parents in Diamond Grove, Missouri, George Washington Carver was rescued from Confederate kidnappers as an infant. He began his education in Newton County in southwest Missouri, where he worked as a farmhand and studied in a one-room schoolhouse. Throughout his formal…[Read more]

@Danny,

Can you show me in the OT where it says I must believe in the Messiah for salvation?

Better yet, explain how Jesus can be the Messiah since he was conceived of the spirit and NOT from the seed of David. This actually poses a problem, because either the spirit did conceive the child in Mary and therefore Jesus is NOT of the seed of David…[Read more]

Such obvious contempt for God and His ways.

@DT

If you deny the Son, that means you also deny the Father, because the two work together. They ARE ONE.

In the biginning was the word

“The Word ” IS a NAME given to the Son of God.

Rev.19:13

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no…[Read more]

@Danny,

Apparently God is the one who has “denied the son”; I’m just reading God’s words in the OT.

So I guess I’m in the clear.

@desiretruth

Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father. 1 John 2:23

@Jodi,

In response to Post # 944770

Absolutely we read of God’s forgiveness to the Israelite’s; but don’t forget it wasn’t just to the Israelite’s, it extended to the other nations and people too. Wasn’t it God who said the HE delights when the wicked turn from their ways? And when the “wicked man” turns from wickedness and does what is just an…[Read more]

@Gene,

You said in post #944790, “I need to return to the sheep fold, where I belong”; what “fold” did I leave that I’m now not apart of? Do I not belong to God or do I only belong to God thru Jesus?

I came here to ask questions and present thoughts concerning those questions; hoping to bounce these thoughts off a wider pool of people verses th…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

The Spirit of Christ is eternal.

Jesus was conceived in and born of Mary and named after his birth.

Yes.He is Lord of all.

And rebirth into him in his name is the salvation God offers all.

We cannot improve on the offer by surrendering. That is a human myth.

FULL SURRENDER TO THE LORD JESUS

DOES NOT SAVE ANYONE.

Obedience to the words of Peter at Pentecost does.

” and there is salvation in none else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved”

AND This NAME IS JESUS CHRIST

The ONLY ONE WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD.

Do you not understand yet that the Spirit of anointing
was in the beginning with God and was God?

You seem stuck on the the idea it is talking about a man.

Me

No

But THE Son of God BEFORE HE WAS MADE FLESH.

🙏

Both Matthew and Luke record, Jesus’ daddy is the spirit; so how is Jesus of the tribe of Judah? Tribal lineage comes from the father. If not conceived of Joseph how is Jesus of the seed of David?

Now the real question. How is Jesus the Messiah when according to the OT the Messiah was to be Jewish AND from the line of David? Think Jesus missed a…[Read more]
