Carmel…….the word there actually means (messenger). Paul was telling them they received him as a “messenger” of God, even as Jesus, who was also a messenger sent from God.

peace and love to you and yours Carmel……….gene

Berean…….if Jesus is an Angel, then he will not be part of the world to come.  Because scripture says  so, (not me) ……Heb 2:5…..> “For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.”

So much for your Arch-Angel theory; seems your still cherry picking scriptures to support  the false narratives you believe in,…[Read more]

Jodi and Nick……..Excellent posts.  Our friend DT , has went the way of the Jews who hate the Apostle Paul and his teachings,  but the Apostle Peter  said Paul’s writings were hard to understand for some, but I see his writings as absolutely great as he explains in detail many thing not clearly understood in our scriptures before his time.  By the…[Read more]

Desire Truth…….Why are you even trying to create a difference between the Old Testament and the New, in the first place?,  shouldn’t you be trying to show how they agree with each other? From what Spirit is that coming from brother, it’s not from the SPIRIT OF TRUTH,  because it is creating division in the body of Christ .
Repent and get back to t…[Read more]

Desire Truth………Isa 6;9…..And he said , “Go and tell this people, Hear you indeed, but understand not; see you indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and convert, and be healed.

God said al…[Read more]

Desire Truth………Jodi has let you know what she discovered in the New and Old Testament and it’s the same thing Nick and I are telling you.  You have three witnesses telling you the same things, but you still reject it,  do you honestly think we are going to change our understanding based on a single scripture, you think proves everything written i…[Read more]

To all, Jesus “proved”, that a man can be resurrected from the dead and live for ever ,  he said,  Rev 1:18……..> “I am  he that lives and “was dead”; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell (the grave) and of death”.

Jesus is the one who unlocks allow to be resurrected fro the grave and it is by doing exactly  as as…[Read more]

Proclaimer……who is going against scripture ?, I directly quoted you a scripture right out of Jesus’ mouth,  which you cleverly ignored,  why is that?,  here it is again, Jesus said (not me) ….>“the words I am telling you are “Not “MY” words, but the words of “HIM”who sent me” ,  why no response from you on that?

Also you misquote Jesus , he…[Read more]

Proclaimer you said……..Anyway, back to the topic. You do not believe that Jesus Christ is The Word of God and is now back in the glory he had with the Father before the cosmos. Rather, you hold to this other Jesus who is no greater than Adam, but with the difference of being obedient to God. This is another weird teaching that you promulgate her…[Read more]

Desire Truth,  God said the the Kingdom of Israel showed themselves more Justified than their sister, the the Kingdom of Judah .
The simple history of the Jewish people speaks to the sword that God sent after them in the nations they went to.
Lev 26:33…..> “And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your lan…[Read more]

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]
