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.

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.

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.

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]

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. 2 Cor 5.19
Do you believe this?
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making as appeal through us;
We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
2 Cor 5.20
such is the gospel.
Nick………“perfect”, brother.

Berean…….The word Angel in Greek also means “messenger”. , the Angel or Messenger of Jesus to the churches was the “Apostle” John, he was given the message and wrote it down and delivered it to the Churches. It was not some kind of Angelic being as you falsely suppose.

Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the son.
Amen to that Nick, my hope is that Desire Truth will come to see that brother.
