Nick…….Show me where i have denied the words of the master, I think it's you who are adding to the words of the master that is the problem, not me.Please show us when any proceeded Jesus in resurrection life and I might see your point.

Nick………the story of Lazarus and the rich man is symbolic, when has anyone except Jesus ever risen from the grave, so how could Lazarus have went to Abraham's bosom. That was all an allegory of the sufferings of people now and will be relieved of the suffering in the future and those who must suffer later, as it shows and not a actual event…[Read more]

gsilva,……..point is, is it the (ONLY) power of the LORD, For He (ONLY IS TRUE) GOD and true powers. Elohim is a plural word not a singular word therefore it should be rendered POWERS, not power.

Nick……whats your point ?
GeneBalthrop replied to the topic John 1:1 in the forum Scriptural Teachings 18 years, 1 month ago
Nick…….the word Elohim simple means (POWERS) a plural form of Power anyone with powers can be considered an elohim as Jesus plainly said they were gods, But the word Lord God is different, the word Lord (His exists) and GOD means HE who EXISTS with POWERS. He is the ONE AND (ONLY) TRUE GOD>

Adam…..you are right, God's word is who and what God is just as our word define who and what we are, It's the same with God, Jesus himself is not the word of GOD, he spoke them to us as he said he did and in many places Showed us the words were not His but the Fathers. Very easy to understand and people don't have to change any scripture to mean…[Read more]

Zetheberean……..The reason people don't turn away from there iniquities is because they don't even know what a iniquity is. Iniquity is not just lawlessness it's a (type) of lawlessness or sin.

WJ..Jesus said to the pharisees, you are of your Father the devil did he not.

Nick………NO man CAN come to Christ UNLESS the FATHER DRAW or Drag HIM. It has nothing to do with the Persons own Will but it is GOD who causes repentance not man. As it Scripture plainly shows.

Nick….true but whose to say that will not happen eventually to All men is God incapable of forgiving all, It say He concluded ALL under sin that He might have mercy on ALL.

Nick….the Natural or carnal cleansing is an example of spiritual cleansing your right, God was showing the Israelites that they need to make a difference between the clean and the unclean things, they were carnal minded so He gave them carnal commandment to show a spiritual principle.
