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]

The book of Romans was written to new Jewish converts who were vacillating and tempted to go back to reliance on obedience to the Law in the vain hope of salvation through that.

Chapter 10  shows them how close they are as Jews,  and that all they need is faith in the intermediary appointed by God, Jesus Christ.

Perhaps you find yourself in t…[Read more]

So what the Jewish people claimed to see in the OT words was revealed by the anointed man Paul to have a deeper spiritual meaning.  Perhaps you need to listen to the words of the Spirit and seek the anointing yourself.

Hi Desire,

Understand that the anointed sons of God in Christ Jesus explain and interpret the OT.

No one except fools can dare judge the Lord Jesus (who is Lord of all ) and those joined to him.

Remove the blindness and awaken to life.

@Nick,

I need you to focus like a laser beam on what I am going to show you; then grab your favorite bible and verify it for yourself.

Rom 10:5-8

5 For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. 6 But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “Do not say in your h…[Read more]

Hi Desire truth,

O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?

Them beginning with Moses and with all the prophets he explained to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures.

@Gene,

You still haven’t read a thing I have said.

First, the term/name/phrase “suffering servant” is found NOWHERE in the bible. This term/name/phrase is man made to create a title for this chapter in Isaiah. So the only thing to be understood in this chapter is God’s “servant”, not “suffering servant.”

Second, I have asked you who is speaking…[Read more]

Berean,  yes Jesus did give praise to God the father,  but that does you no good , you must also like Jesus praise him yourself also.  You keep trying to put Jesus ahead of your praise for God the father,  why is that?    Jesus never put himself or any other man ahead of God the Father, why are you?  Your religion has corrupted your thinki…[Read more]
