Hi Gene,
Likewise. It is good to be back.
I believe a key to grasping the truths of scripture are found in 2 Cor 13
Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
That is why there are four gospels.
Truth in the NT can be conformed form the OT etc.

It is a trustworthy saying that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. Yet for this reason I found mercy so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate his perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in him for eternal life.
it is a level playing field and not even the…[Read more]

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Jesus came for sinners so we would be wise to number ourselves among them.

Hi to a all
Here is a commentary on “The Messiah’s work and reward.”
God bless
Isaiah 53
(12) The Messiah’s work and reward.
Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of…[Read more]DesireTruth replied to the topic JOHN 1:1 who is the WORD? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 1 year, 10 months ago
Your writing format is to difficult to follow and I don’t have time to read one liners and decipher what you’re trying to say, try paragraph format, it’s how the rest of the world actually writes.
YOU: Paul used the word “SCRIPTURE”.
It is not enough proof that he was definitely referring to the Old Testament!

@Gene,
The verse doesn’t say “when” he poured…; it says “because” he poured. This conjunction ties into the first part of the verse, “Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong” BECAUSE “he poured out his soul.” What was given Jesus from the many and what did Jesus divide with the strong?…[Read more]

God is.
Respect Him.
He has given us the Word.
It is truth and we must live on it as food.
He also repeats important messages many times so we do not miss them.

I have learned that salvation is of God’s grace so none can hear and respond except by the grace of God. Experts struggle to become as children, people used to following other men struggle to make their own decisions, the rich see no need to change, those who have other gods are just confused.
God knows and understands.

Hi All,
Lost my beloved wife of 50 years 12 months ago.
Knowing she is safe in Christ Jesus having been baptised in his name 9 months earlier and exuding peace she had no fear of death, has been a wonderful comfort to me. The kids have been amazing supports in my walk too.Nick replied to the topic Eternal Salvation in the forum Inspirational writings & sermons 1 year, 10 months ago
<!–more–>The Ark of Jesus Christ is his body.
Only 8 were saved in the Ark of Noah.
Likewise few find the narrow path while most prefer the wide path.
”whatever you did for the least of by brethren you did for me”
This is hope for all outside of the Way.

The whole earth doesn’t mean the planet in scripture
In fact, Earth was first used as the name of our planet in the early fifteenth century.Genesis 41:57

Atheism is self-refuting and reductionistic for several different reasons.

Me: WHAT CONVINCED YOU THAT PAUL REFERRED TO THE OLD TESTAMENT?
You: The only SCRIPTURE available to them in the 1st century was the tanach, the Jewish writings that we today call the “old testament.”

You still cannot ignore the fact that what Jesus compared himself to was destroyed because it was made into an idle. So for you it is just the “pole” that matters.

Desire Truth…….Who was Jesus “obeying”, When he poured out his soul to death”? Was it not God himself?, , so knowing that , then it becomes clear that Jesus in “OBEDIENCE” to the “Will”, of God the Father, if you know that, then it is also clear that, it was God the Father who suffered him to do that, and made his soul a sacrifice .

The brazen serpent had no virtue IN ITSELF, BUT IT WAS WHAT IT REPRESENTED THAT HAD THE POWER TO SAVE.
Thereafter Hezekiah had it destroyed BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HAD MADE IT AN OBJECT OF IDOLATRY, NOT HAVING UNDERSTANDED WHAT IT MEANS.
Again this brazen serpent had no virtue in itself, but it was, I believe, WHAT IT REPRESENTED THAT…[Read more]- Load More
