t8, you may be right, for we are told that there are weeds and wheat in each church.  Yet do the weeds believe that they are weeds.  They think they are the wheat.God BlessMarlin

Sabbath means a day of resting from your work.Is there scripture that changed the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday?None that I can fine.Does that mean that we should be worshiping God from Friday night at 6 to Saturday night at 6.NOPE……Just as Jesus changed the other commandments, made them spiritual, he did the same to this one.Here is…[Read more]

Kenrch,just as you have said God has made the law spiritual.1 example.To look at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already.Those that are in Christ are just like sheep.  And just like sheep don't have to do anything to produce wool.  So it is with those in Christ, the Spirit of Christ in them produces good works.Were all t…[Read more]

Thanks Nick, I agree:) Marlin

Pierre,I am truly sorry that you can not see it.  That is just fine.It is understood by most that the angels to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3 are men.God BlessMarlin

Quote Those who claim salvation by the miracles they have done should read Mt 7 21-23Nick, I believe that He is speaking to the religious people of all the so called churches.  He requires a personal relationship with every person, ALL, a person MUST be born again. Or He will say, I never new you, depart from me.God BlessMarlin

Quote Miracles can be copied by satan; baptism in water can also be copied by satan; How?He can send someone that is not truly in God do the baptizing.Will that baptism be valid,or invalid?But baptism in the Holy spirit can never be copied.So wakeup is it the person doing the baptism that matters or is it you being obedient to the Word of God that…[Read more]

EPH 2:6 † And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Marlin

Quote Do you realize that many churches make up that one church that you speak of?kathi,I believe you have this slightly wrong.  The one true church is not made up of CHURCHES,  it is made up of true believers out of many churches.  Not all members of a certain church are His.  For many church members will come in that day and He will say dep…[Read more]

kathi,Quote PROVERBS 23:7 † For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.I am in agreement with you on this Kathi.Satan chose the mind of man.God chose the heart.Marlin

Cavedave,Quote Many times we make things far more diffacult then they need to be. God is Spirit and there is now where you can go and be away from Him. So many think as Gods Spirit as somethingHe does as an after thought. Many things are written to those with limited understanding so He gives us pictures and shadows of things and then men do as…[Read more]

Journey42,Your post is pretty close.  I believe you are in error here.Quote Then at the appointed time, (Christ's 2nd coming) we will be raised or changed to spirit….but when we are born again into spirit (changed)only then, …..Unless you be born again here and now, just as Jesus said, you will never see the kingdom of God.  Jesus is not a l…[Read more]

Ed J,Right off I will admit I am not very good with lineage.LUKE 3:23 † And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed ) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, In this I see Joseph and his father (Heli)….  with (as was supposed) or by custom.  Do you agree?In Matthew, I see no lineage of Mary.  Please expl…[Read more]

Kerwin,I agree with most of what you said.I would say we have no law but LOVE.I would also say we have three divine orders.Quote All three are useful in their own way to further God's ordinance to love.  An individual given authority to baptize by King Jesus immerses in that authority whatever formula he chooses to use as he is God's servant.  I c…[Read more]

Nick and Pierre, we are in agreement, AMEN…:)

Pierre, I can see why you would not see it with your translation.I noticed that some translations say 'of thy brothers the prophets' and others do not.So I can also see how most will have trouble with seeing this.God BlessMarlin

Pierre, again you are adding to scripture.  Jesus in v3 says that you must be born again.  Then in v5 He says you must be BORN of water,(which every one is) and of Spirit. (Which requires a new birth)In John 3:7-8  Jesus says you must be born again and then He says born of Spirit.  No mention of WATER..I PETER 1:23 † Being born again, not of corru…[Read more]

Quote Hi Marlin,That doesn't say he was a man? More likely he was a Angel.

Kerwin,  There are only three ordinances for the church.1. True Christian Baptism in water.2. Communion.3. Foot Washing.Are none of these important?Should we not do them?Obedience is better then Sacrifice.      Marlin
