@ Berean,

Why do you keep avoiding the question?!? You keep repeating Jesus had to died for our sins and Paul states “according to scripture” (written in the old testament); yet I haven’t found the verse that states the Messiah was to die for the sins of mankind. This creates a HUGE problem for “christianity” if the verse doesn’t exist, this…[Read more]

@ Danny,

You: Shame on YOU for rejecting Isaiah 53 as a messianic prophecy.

Me: You’re kidding right!??!? I just about spit my drink all over my screen laughing! I will point you to Page 1207 Post #943444 and read the brief explanation of why I can’t accept Isa 53 as speaking of Jesus. Then I would challenge you to verify it for yourself. Don…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

Berean…….Do you actually believe that Jesus’ dying on the tree, i. e. Cross,  actually forgives everyone of their sins?

 No you must “repent” first , then be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins,

and then you will receive the gift of the “Holy Spirit” ,

 that begins a work of salvation “IN” you. You are saved by “grace” and…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

You: Carmel When Jesus said,
“I am the root and the offspring of DAVID”,
 he was telling the truth.
Rev. 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.
I am the root and the offspring of David,…

BOTH THE ROO…[Read more]

IT IS BECAUSE Christ died for our sins👉and the Spirit working our hearts,and convicts us of sin,👉 THAT WE CAN REPENT,👈 RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS, AND RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

IT IS GOD FIRST WHO TAKEN THE INITIATIVE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST TO BRING US BACK TO HIM, AND IT IS THIS LOVE THAT MUST TOUCH OUR AND PUSH US TO…[Read more]

Jesus bore the sins of the world, must be understood in this “SENSE”,   Jesus was unjustly punished for things he never committed, by the world powers that then existed.  So it is in “THAT SENSE” he bore (or endured), the sins of the world,  not because he died for “your” OR MY sins.  ”

No, no AND no

You are wrong.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye were healed.( 1 Peter 2:24)
 

@ Gene

The idea that Jesus’ death pays for everyone sins is a false teaching,

Me

WRONG

👉But he was wounded for our transgressions,👈

he was bruised for our iniquities:

👉the chastisement of our peace was upon him;👈

and with his stripes we are healed.( Isaiah 53:5)

@desiretruth

Shame on YOU for rejecting Isaiah 53 as a messianic prophecy.

@ desire Truth

You seem to completely trivialize the subject of sacrifices, holocaust in the Old Testament, which God had instituted for a very specific reason, it’s quite incredible….You’re pulling the rug out from under your feet, because it is precisely with this that we can make the link with Christ WHO IS THE TRUE LAMB OF GOD ANNOUNCED BY…[Read more]

Carmel…….Scripture shows clearly , as I have posted, that Jesus is of the “ROOT’  ( of Jesse the same as David),  AND IS A “OFFSPRING” of  DAVID.   When Jesus said, “I am the root and the offspring of DAVID”,  he was telling the truth.

Carmel you can try to twist and turn the scriptures you want in your “mystery” form of religion you practice,…[Read more]

@ Berean,

You’re avoiding the questions by deflecting to Abraham, using his scenario, and relating it to Jesus. This is what the church has been telling people as long as I can remember. The only place this is referenced in the new testament is in Hebrews – a book whose author is unknown, reads similar to a homily, and is highly contentious among…[Read more]

@desiretruth

If I understood correctly, you do not believe that Jesus is the MESSIAH..

you had a one
certain knowledge that needed to be purified and strengthened, but now you doubt the ONE WHO WAS MADE SIN FOR YOU SO THAT YOU WILL BECOME GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN JESUS CHRIST.

BUT YOU DESIRE THE TRUTH AND ME IN BEREAN, I SEARCH, I LISTEN AND I…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

You: Carmel……scripture says (not me). …….> ISA 11:10…..”they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters that cover the sea>verse11,   “And in that day there shall be a “ROOT OF JESSE,” which shall  stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles…[Read more]

@ Berean,

Have you found where it states in the old testament the Messiah was to die for our sins? As Paul states this is “according to scripture.” Still haven’t found it…

Which brings me to another question, when did God ever require a human sacrifice? The pagans did this…oh wait Jesus did this of his own accord, but it’s still a human…[Read more]

Hi to all

Here is the Daily Devotional

DOESN’T PROVERBS TEACH THAT IT IS OKAY TO DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES? 

One of the saddest of pastoral visitations is when I’m called to visit and pray for a church member who is dying. Often these precious souls are suffering from a fatal illness that is extremely painful. As they near the end of their live…[Read more]

K J B John 6:40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 

Do you believe that…
If not, what do you believe?

🙏

@ Danny,

Apparently you cannot answer the question and sounds like you are running away. The question is extremely important; if the source is from God, there can be zero debate over what is being said. Yet, what has been going on for the last 1700 years; arguing over what the “new testament” says, this doesn’t raise any alarms for you? Why does…[Read more]
