ed- i do feel like i understand your suggestions. Bottom line is the attitude of “how can I serve my Father and benefit the Kingdom?” that is a really sweet heart- the heart of the Bride. thats my usual MO- and spending lots of time in prayer to find out what is on His heart. The purpose 4 starting this topic was to see what others are…[Read more]

Shania replied to the topic Matthew 28:19 authentic or not? in the forum Truth or Tradition 13 years, 8 months ago
It seems to me that the real important thing is to walk like Jesus did. That's what water baptism is a symbol of: dying to yourself/your sin, and being made new and alive in Messiah. Whether you are water baptized or not, you can and should walk in the principle of it. Moreover, whether you believe in the trinity or not you can and should walk…[Read more]

-What is the “tri-une name?” Is it the phrase, 'in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit?'-If so, how come we never hear the disciples use this phrase, nevermind water baptizing- did they ever use it?- Do you think it strange that “the father” “the son” and “the holy spirit” are not names?

How does this line up?Rev 21:121:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth , for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.NIVBut really, why is this being argued? What does it have to do with our own personal walks with God? How is it affecting the readers?

Let's say I'm an alcoholic. I get saved, but still have a chemical addiction in my body. I know that if I have one drink, I will not be able to stop and I will do much damage to myself and loved ones. If I now have a drink, (and get drunk), is that a sin? Or is it not a sin simply because I'm a christian? It's still the same act and still has…[Read more]

Quote (Tim Kraft @ Dec. 10 2010,16:43)Jesus didn't follow the law, Jesus fulfilled the law. Jesus worked on the sabbath, didn't pay temple tax until attention was brought, didn't follow washings, ate and drank with what you would call sinners. Jesus didn't offer sacrifices in the temple. Jesus didn't honor the laws' Sabbath Day. Jesus didn't…[Read more]

Hi TK!It's true: Jesus set the adulteress free and did not condemn her, and this is what he said:John 8:9-11 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” NIVI am not denying forgiveness…[Read more]

Haven't read all the posts but it seems ridiculous that there is need for this. Nobody on this earth has full complete knowledge of God or the inner workings of Heaven. If we tear people down for not sharing our personal opinion, whose team are we playing for? We believers are to be one as Messiah and the Father are one- so who's plan are we…[Read more]

I'm sorry TK, but I find a lot of what you wrote to be really dangerous. Sexual thoughts about someone who is not your spouse is sin. Are you saying that when you are a believer, you can do immoral things and it is not sin because you are not under the law? Grace does not nullify the law, it upholds it. Do you think that I can commit murder…[Read more]

If you really wanna kick this habit, I would recommend telling someone about it face to face. Preferebly a church leader of yours or a brother who can keep you accountable. If you are married, you need to tell your wife. Also, I know that there are churches who have small groups that deal with this issue: kind of like AA. You need…[Read more]

Sin separates us from God. Messiah did not die so that we could walk in sin and it magically be covered by grace. When you walk in the flesh, you are opposed to God. The new covenant is walking in the spirit, being a slave to righteousness. Having the spirit of Messiah (complete submission to the Father, doing everything out of love) What…[Read more]

Don't worry about satan. Trust God. Jesus said that you would suffer. (He also said that with Him you will overcome). You will either suffer for your own choices or for righteoussness. It's normal and common. We've all made bad choices and we all deserve hell. Thank YHWH that we do not get what we deserve. He is with you and He loves you.…[Read more]

Quote Not so, the NT and the OT tell us that the Torah's core message is love. Every commandment in the Torah is infused with love, which is why Yeshua stated that the entire Torah hangs on the two greatest commandments. The Torah's message was always about love. It didnt change and was nothing new when Yeshua came. Judaism has always taught that…[Read more]

Matt 5:33-6:133 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not…[Read more]

Nick is right about Mt 19- Jesus walked in love and love requires more than the OT law did. The purpose of the law was to expose sin, but since all sin begins with selfishness and love is only selflessness, love sums up the law- love supercedes the law. If you are asked to walk one mile, go two….
