Hi Gene,

Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all men everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising him from the dead.

Now when they heard of the resurrection…[Read more]

Desire Truth……AT the time of Jesus , both The kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah no longer existed.  The Ancient Assyrians took captive the kingdom of Israel all ten tribes of them, and moved them out of their lands into the north country to what is now days call Germany, to a place called “Saxony” where they spread from there to all over…[Read more]

Desire Truth you said…….> First verse, Jesus explicitly stated to those he was speaking to, would never finish going through the towns of Israel before he returned. What are we to make of Jesus’ statement and why no response to this verse?

Your answer…….> Jesus was absolute right,  “the lost sheep, of the house of Israel” who the Disciple’s…[Read more]

Desire Truth…….What idea?    Had you understood,  that Jesus wasn’t talking about just the dying of your flesh,  but the “second death”, the lose of your complete  “Soul”.
So indeed, there were some people who would not taste “true death”, standing there until true judgement takes place in the kingdom  .  Jesus is the man God has chosen to ju…[Read more]

Hi PC,

So what about Peter? He raised Tabitha, walked on water, preached the gospel and healed the cripples etc.

Was he also some sort of SUPERMAN who preexisted too?

Or was he an ordinary fisherman who was anointed from above with godly powers?

Nick…….> Thats right they were ordinary men , Gifted with the anointing Spirit of the “living God…[Read more]

Hi Gene,

The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.

So it is not by self effort that we can become like our Master by by the work of the Spirit in us. Striving is uselessness so it is by daily submission seeking forgiveness for our failures that we become useful vessels.

Nevertheless the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal “The L…[Read more]

To. All……Jesus is indeed the “Sacrifice”, that “GOD GAVE” , to the world,  for the “PURPOSE”, of taking away the sins of the world.  Not that Jesus himself took away the sins of the world himself, if that were the case then there would be no sin at all in the world. But sin still exists everywhere.  

SCRIPTURE SAYS, …..>“God so loved the world…[Read more]

Danny……YES , Jesus washed us, but how is the question, by demonstrating to us all, how to have a right relationship with  God, It all starts with us repenting of our sins, through the Holy Spirit at work in us.  It is  a work of God the Father, even us being drawn to JESUS is a work of God,  not a work of Jesus.  Jesus was by the Spirit of God gi…[Read more]

Desire Truth……..You said…….>I will point you to Matt 26:28 “for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”Jesus, specifically his blood, is for the forgiveness of sin.

My answer to this is,  The blood of Jesus simply meant “his life”,  which was poured out for the forgiveness of sins.  Now what doe…[Read more]

Danny…….If you are “IN” Him, and he “IN” you, then you will be doing the exact same thing he was doing in this world.  What do you think this means,…..>Eph 4:13….> “Till we all come in the unity of the “FAITH” , and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a “PERFECT MAN”,  unto the measure of the stature of the “FULNESS” of Christ.” …[Read more]

Desire Truth…….Jesus’ life (his blood) was an example for the forgiveness of sins.  That is not the same as saying he Paid our sin debt “for us” .  If we “drink” (take to ourselves to live as he lived) we are drinking (taking to ourselves “his life”, by conforming to the “way” he lived).  That is exactly what the words to, “eat and drink” means. [Read more]

Desire Truth……You said…..>Isa 59:2 doesn’t explain why I need a Messiah for salvation. This verse states it is sin/iniquity that separates us from God. Nowhere does it state because of this separation we need a Messiah to get back to God. God said to repent, turn from your wickedness, and your sin will be remember no more. Since sin will separat…[Read more]

Proclaimer…….ALL VINES COME FROM A BRANCH.  That my friend is a fact. Jesus was taken from the branch of mankind and became a vine, planted by God the Father. and we are in that vine through  baptism, and  all the vine is supported by one Spirit, that gives life to both the vine and it’s branches, which is the Spirit of God.

peace and love to…[Read more]

Nick……Yes, the Spirit of God was with God and was God,  Jesus was never With God in the beginning,  nor was he ever God. That is the absolute truth brother.

peace and love to you and yours Nick………gene

Jodi……..“EXCELLENT POST”

Peace and love to you and yours Jodi……..gene

Danny……Nick is right,  God is a Spirit and being Spirit he can I dwell human flesh, by sending his Spirit into them. That is exactly what he did with the flesh man Jesus and also does with those he is now calling, it’s all done by “being “anointed” With his Holy Spirit.  He gives to those he is choosing.   now ther is no difference between th…[Read more]

Nick…..they are spiritually dead, and are unable to see the Truth, because the Spirit of Truth is not “in” Them.  They are  therefore exactly as the Pharisees were in the days of Jesus, blind guides,  leading the blind, and are all together fallen into a ditch,  Grouping at the walls trying to find a way out.

Indeed it is true, “the whole w…[Read more]

Nick……Yea that is what Carmel would like you to believe. But we know from scripture that Jesus was born into his only existence as a 100% human being , Just as scripture says, and even Jesus himself said it,……>I “AM” the root and “OFFSPRING” of David. Not to even mention scriptures that says he was from the root of Jesse even as King David wa…[Read more]

Carmel……The very word MESSIAH, CHRIST,  means the , “ANOINTED ONE”.  but you say he wasn’t anointed at the River Jordan. But scripture says he was , and the spirit descended from heaven on him like a dove. and after that he was led into the wilderness “by the Spirit”.  Jesus is also called the “anointed one of God” , the very nam Christ mean…[Read more]
