Nick you said………>Forgiveness of sins is offered by baptism in the name of the Lord.
Scripture does warn about dying in your sins.
Washing of the feet symbolises the need to constantly seek God’s forgiveness after baptism.
Jn 13.10
Jesus said to him
“He who has bathed needs only to was his feet, but is completely clean, and you are clean , b…[Read more]

Proclaimer…….The word “before” used there was had nothing to do with Jesus being “alive” before Abraham was, but Jesus was simply telling them that he was more important to them them Abraham was. The Jew had a big problem thinking they were special, because of their tie to Abraham, and Jesus was simple telling them that he was, ” more impor…[Read more]

Carmel…….When any vessel is “filled” with something, it is filled “from outside of it’s self”. Jesus was “filled from outside himself with the “Spirit of God” by God , the something applies to all who have the Spirit of God in them.

Berean…….You seem to have the same problem Desire Truth had, you think that the only way to God the Father is through Jesus, because he said , no one come to the Father except by me, but because you don’t understand the Greek word “dia” as meaning through the channel or way I do it, you are mislead to thinking that by the man Jesus we can…[Read more]

Desire Truth…….You said ….if your focus has changed from Jesus to God the Father, then what do you have to repent of.
My answer to you is your focus should have been on God the Father from the beginning, Jesus simply was showing us how to stay focused on God, exactly as he did. I think I see your problem now you were allowing false re…[Read more]

Nick…..Yes demons can speak through the mouths of those they possess , even as God the Father can speak through the mouths of those he is in. Both thing are possible and are shown to have been done in scriptures. IMO.

Desire Truth……If I were you I would believe the KJV, and others by far before I would believe the Jew’s renditions, who constantly reject Jesus as the MESSIAH, who they by their evil hand had put to death. They rejected Jesus then and Now also, and will be rejected by him, at his return , unless they repent. what you think you have uncovered…[Read more]

Berean……..Even Satan was a child of God, because God created him, right? Scripture tells that when the children of God gathered Satan was also among them in the book of Job.
All creation is from God, Nothing created is not from God. So God is the Father of all things both good and evil. Or haven’t you ever read , “I form the light, and create d…[Read more]

And I maintain that Jesus was God and man and that HE lived as a man without taking advantage of his divinity for himself.
This is what you don’t understand.If Jesus had been only a man he would have been like all men with the need of a SAVIOR FOR ALL MEN HAVE SINS, ALL ARE DEPRIVED FROM THE GLORY OF GOD, THERE IS NOT ONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT ONE A…[Read more]

Nick……Amen to you last post, Indeed Peter, and the other Apostles did the same things Jesus did and no one ever called them God. These people worship Jesus as their God, which turns the “Image” of him into the “Image’” of a God, which breakers the first commandment, which then turns the “Image” of him into a “man of sin”. Exactly as Paul i…[Read more]

Berean……Jesus was certainly planed in heaven by God the Father way before he ever existed, but he was not alive until he was born on earth , through the operation of God the father who is in Heaven. So from that point of view he was indeed sent from heaven, but to say he ““preexisted”, as a live being in heaven before his birth on this earth is a…[Read more]

To all……Jesus clearly speaking of himself said……“the Son of man can do “nothing” of himself”. But most don’t really believe he meant what he said, if they did believe him they would understand it was God the Father doing the works in and through him.
