Brethren, my heart’s desire  and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. For I testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they do not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law…[Read more]

The mind is your playground desiretruth.

Playing games is your forte.

sigh.

Hi Desiretruth,

You attack the false church as if she is relevant to anything.

Your apparent INCONSISTENCIES are because you are not subject to the Master.

DEVOTED to REBELLION you attempt to undermine him and his servants in service to your master kicking against the goad is inevitable frustration.

@Nick,

Why are you so afraid to answer my questions?

Hi Desire,

Paul is a proven anointed servant of God in Christ.

So what are your qualifications that enable you to judge him and his words?

@Nick,

So far you have offered nothing to this conversation, other than accusations and condemnation; none of which answer any of the questions I’ve asked. I asked one primary question, Paul said “according to scripture” the Messiah was to die for the sins of mankind, be buried and raised up on the third day. This means it is written in the OT; f…[Read more]

Phil 2 is spiritual language of course.

Speaking of the Word, the Spirit of Christ.

Yes

in Mt 19 Jesus did say

” if you would be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor…and come follow me”

His flesh was weak.

He emptied himself, humbled himself, denied himself, and did what the Father wanted him to do.

Now he is with God in the glory he had with him before the cosmos.

The body that he has now is like the body that the redeemed will have.

Flesh / Spirit.

We must be born again. Born of the Spirit.

Following Jesus leads to the opportunity to be reborn of water and the Spirit which was opened to all at his death and spoken of by Peter at Pentecost.

Born of the Spirit
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Another liar exposed because he cannot answer yes or no to the yes no question.

Hi PC,

lk 18.20… COME

First Jesus counselled him to obey the Law

”You know the commandments

DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY

DO NOT MURDER

DO NOT STEAL

DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER

And he said “All these things I have kept from my youth

When Jesus heard this…COME FOLLOW ME”

Rom8 1

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Jesus said to him, “if you wish to be perfect…”.

Hi Desire,

You have found that there are apparent inconsistencies in your mind between the OT and the NT.  Since both are written by the Spirit through men then the answer should be obvious.

Seek the Spirit in the way Scripture advises and shop relying on your carnal mind to provide answers. Submit your mind to the Spirit and God will renew it…[Read more]

Hi Desire,

I realise that you have no faith in Jesus and in his Anointing as the Christ.

Overconfidence in your limited understanding of the Law too robs you of the life God offers you in His Son and causes you to fall back on your own instincts. You seek others to join in your walk towards spiritual death.

@Nick,
You: “Understand that the anointed sons of God in Christ Jesus explain and interpret the OT.”

Me: Are we to just accept their interpretations as being truth or do we verify what they’re saying against what the OT actually says? Is there an amount of “twisting” of God’s words that is acceptable?

Anyways, what you’re saying is you have no i…[Read more]
