@Nick,

Did you just ask me a question without answering mine? Let’s do this, answer one of my questions and I’ll answer one of yours. I am tired of this question “goal post” moving and me required to answer everyone’s questions while mine remain unanswered.

By the way, what am I suppose to repent of?

Hi Desiretruth,

Scripture has offered you the answers but you didn’t listen?

Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom is like the head of a household who brings out of his treasure things new and old.

Hi desiretruth,

So when was your life overturned?

@Nick,

So what you’re saying is you aren’t going to answer any of my questions…understood.

Good thing Proclaimer created this website so we could discuss our like thoughts.

Fear is not the issue for me but it may be for you.

The Holy Spirit is daunting for many because it means loss of control and being used by God for His purposes and not ours.

Human religion and legal requirements seem much safer for many.

When was your life overturned?

Hi Dt,

The NT offers life to men in the Son of God.

It is the final offer from God to men.

Unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

Sadly many prefer old wine to new.

@Nick,

I am quoting scripture from the OT and comparing it to its usage in NT; and asking why they don’t match. Apparently my questions are to difficult for you or by answering them truthfully it will overturn your world just like it did mine and it scares you!

Either answer the questions or ignore the conversation!

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.
