Quote (chosenone @ May 25 2007,18:26)Hi 942767.     Thank you for your questions.  I don't pretend to be an expert on every scripture, I have an opinion like everyone else.  I believe that the ancient scriptures are not about what God says we should be doing for salvation, they are saying what God is doing to save mankind.In the old testament, and…[Read more]

Hi WJ:You say:94You say…Quote  All of the above makes reference to the Word of God that came from the Father to humanity through Jesus.  Jesus applied the Word of God to his life and became that “life-giving spirit.  He is the bread of life. The problem you have with these scriptures is that Jesus did not say the Word came down from heaven, he…[Read more]

Quote (Tim2 @ May 25 2007,12:53)Hey 94,I'm glad you believe that Jesus is the image of God.  Why don't you think that the image of God actually is God?TimHi Tim2:Do you have any children? If so, are your children you or are they a different person?Does the scripture say that Jesus is God or does it say that he is the Son of God?

Quote (chosenone @ May 24 2007,18:28)Hi 942767.     You ask on what basis God chose me to be part of the body of Christ.  I had no choice, there was nothing that I could do to qualify myself.  I was saved by the Grace of God.  (Eph.2:8-10)  “For in Grace, through faith (the faith of Christ Jesus), are you saved, and this is not out of you; it is…[Read more]

Hi Not3in1:I am glad that I could help you in some way.  We the body of Christ need each other.  I thought the following scripture might also help:Phil. 4:8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of g…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ May 22 2007,18:08)Hi 942767.     I will try my best to explain.  Gods chosen people, the Jews, were given the “Law” when God made the “Old Covenant' with them.  If they obeyed the law, then when the Messiah arrived and they accepted Him, He would lead them to the “Promised Land”, and they, with Christ the King would be a nat…[Read more]

Hi Nick:You say:Hi 94,I do not think you should worry too much.Only they cannot see that the emperor is wearing no clothes.I hadn't read the story that you shared about the emperor.  Thanks for sharing this with me.  It definitely relates.God Bless

Quote (chosenone @ May 21 2007,07:39)No reply to the last two posts?Blessings.Hi Chosenone:As to the response to the Canaanite woman, the Jews looked upon the Gentiles as dogs, and so that is why Jesus spoke to her the way that he did relative to him being sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, but as you see, he healed her daughter,…[Read more]

Hi Nick:You say relative to your understanding of a nation being born at one time:So I think it relates to the repentance of Isarel at the return of Christ.Please elaborate on what you mean by “the repentance of Israel at the return of Christ”.

Hi Chosenone:You say:The prophet Isaiah speaks of a nation born at one time (Isa.66:8)My understanding of this is that the blood of animals did not take wash away the sins of those who were striving to obey God under the Law.  As we know the High Priest entered into the Holy of holies on the day of atonement with blood for his sins and for the…[Read more]
