Even though she attended mass twice a week throughout her childhood and listened to the priest read Scripture passages, it wasn’t until she was twelve that she actually saw a Bible.One day, she was thrilled to find one by chance in her family’s base. Finally! Here…[Read more]

Gene,
Read this:
John 8:21Then He said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.” 22So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are…

Carmel,
Are you clear that the Son of Man did not inherit the nations before His crucifixion but instead after?
Just yes or no Carmel, please don’t make it complicated.

Hi Berean,
You said:
LUK 24
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.This verse shows us that Jesus is not the author of the action to go to HEAVEN.
“he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.”
It’s the “passive voice.”
That’s great Berean, you are getting the idea of the pass…[Read more]

Hi Lu,
You: Psalms 2 tells us that it is after the Son returns to the Father at the ascension when He inherits the nations and makes it clear that the Son did not already have them until then.
Me: What you posted is a clear reference to Jesus, the SON OF MAN, “THE WORD” made flesh, Jesus’ human nature, who died on the cross.
Now immediately…[Read more]

The Middle Voice: When the subject of the verb does action unto itself, or for its own benefit, the middle voice is used.
The Passive Voice: The passive represents the ac…[Read more]

DOES THE BIBLE TEACH MEN CAN FORGIVE SINS?
Before diving into this specific text, let’s first answer this Can a human being take away sin?

We must go to Jesus to receive forgiveness. “Let us t…[Read more]Berean replied to the topic Interdependence of Father and Son in the forum View Points 3 years, 4 months ago

You said:
In the case of Jesus “Resurrection” means physically passing from death to life.

Hi Lu,
You: Jesus laid down His life for His sheep starting with the agreement to empty Himself and become a bondservant.
Me: Agree!
He took it up again when He ascended back to His Father and received all authority in heaven and on earth.
Not precise, I’m afraid!
Jesus received all authority on earth BEFORE GOING TO THE FATHER. HE LEFT…[Read more]

In the case of Jesus “Resurrection” means physically passing from death to life.
And “ascension” to “rise” from earth to HEAVEN.And for us: to pass from spiritual death to spiritual life in order to be able to rise (ascension) to heaven towards the Father with Jesus.

You forgot this
RESURRECTION
Strong’s #386 anastasis: a standing up, i.e. a resurrection, a raising up, rising.
Jesus raised up His “temple” on the third day by ascending to the Father.

ACCORDING TO ZECHARIAH, AREN’T GOD’S PEOPLE TO KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES FOREVER?
