@Nick,

Maybe you can answer the question surrounding what is stated in I Cor 15:3,4 where Paul states “according to scripture” the Messiah was to die for the sins of mankind and be buried and raised from the dead after three days. Paul makes the claim and there was no NT in the first century, so Paul was speaking of it being “prophesied” in the…[Read more]

If the teachings of Paul are inspired by the Spirit

do you judge the Spirit?

The teachings of Paul come into question?

who are you O judge of Paul?

Hi Gene,

And in harmony with what you wrote:‘

Who is the one who overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the one who came by water and blood,  Jesus Christ; not with water only but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies , because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that te…[Read more]

Proclaimer……Not really,  you see Jesus was the “firstborn from the dead”. That is not saying he was the firstborn being of all creation,  now is it?   Jesus Christ was the firstborn of “many” brethren by the resurrection from the dead,  we are told. Now seeing  You have moved Jesus’ identity away from yourself, So tell us what part of him you hav…[Read more]

@Nick,

You: “But knowing there are faults does not mean we are fit to be a judge of scripture.”

Me: I’m not “judging” scripture, I am pointing out the corruption of the translators; if the tenses, plurality, or the punctuation is changed anywhere, the meaning can be changed and a bias inserted. The fact the translators of the KJ changed t…[Read more]

@Berean,

Nothing in your reply have you proved or explained anything; pointy fingers, pointing at existing words, does not offer proof or an explanation to what the words are trying to convey. Am I suppose to translate pointy fingers to mean Jesus? Explain how these verses in Isa 42:1-4 (first “servant song”) ARE a reference to Jes…[Read more]

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands, and they cry out with a loud voice , saying.

” Salvation to our God Who sits on the Throne, a…[Read more]

Short answer NO.

Rebirth of water and the Spirit is the gateway into the first resurrection and the Millenial Kingdom.

But few will find that narrow path.

Most will be saved by the pure mercy of God after the second resurrection.

”Whatever you did for the least of my brothers you did for me”

Truly, truly I say to you, he who loves my Word and believes Him Who sent me, has eternal life and does not come into judgement, but has passed out of death into life.

Jn 5.24

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him. Lk 11

So if you are known by the Father by rebirth of Water you can ask Him to baptise you in the Spirit and He will.

The Spirit of Christ came from heaven.

flesh contributes nothing.

listen to the Spirit.

”Before Abraham I am” was spoken by the Son in whom God dwelled.

we know that God spoke through the Son as Heb 1 told us.

why should it confuse folks?

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing; the words I have spoken to you

are Spirit and they are life.

Jn 6.63

Believe and gorge yourselves on the Words of life.

listen to the Spirit in the Son of God.

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit, in which also he went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, of God kept waiting in the days of Noah during the construction of the Ark, in…[Read more]

These promises are for those who share in the death of the Lord by baptism into his body in his name. They inherit a place in the first resurrection and the Millenial reign. Glimpses of their roles can be seen in Lk 19- the parable of money usage.

2 Tim 2.11

It is a trustworthy statement

’ For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

If we endure , we will also reign with him;

If we deny him he will also deny us;

If we are faithless he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.’

’

It seems when folks do not grasp what is written they fill the gaps from their imagination and find plenty of support for falsehoods.
