DT, what do you do with this scripture……> Jer 17:10…., “I the LORD search the (heart) , I try the reins (mind) , even to give “every” man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings”.
GOD THE FATHER EVEN TRYS PEOPLE BEFORE THEY ARE EVEN BORN, just as he did in the case of Jacob and Esau. Saying, to Rebekah, “two nations…[Read more]

DT, you said…….You claim to be “filled” with the “spirit”, do you still sin? If so, how; doesn’t the spirit lead you like it lead the Jesus?
DT, show me where I ever said I was “filled” , with Holy Spirit. I said I have the Holy Spirit, (the spirit of truth) Abiding in me, that is how I know you are not of the truth , in rejecting Jesus Christ an…[Read more]

DT…….Jesus and Paul were “ALL”, about mastering sin, and showed us all how that is accomplished. It wasn’t them that created the “quick fix”, that was fallen so called “CHRISTIANITY”, that created the “quick fix”.
Jesus and Paul, showed us all “the way” to overcome sin, and it’s the exact same way they did, by the exact same power, the power of…[Read more]GeneBalthrop replied to the topic JOHN 1:1 who is the WORD? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 1 month ago
Berean…..if you can’t read the text and see that is exactly what Jesus was telling them, them you simply are blind to the truth, IMO.

Proclaimer……YES……Jesus said the ….“greatest commandment ” Is to love the lORD your God , with “ALL” your heart, “ALL” your mind, “ALL” your soul, “ALL“ your strength, and the “SECOND” is like unto it, (but it is not the same). “You shall love , your neighbor as yourself “.

Keith……true, good post, and we must all remember also, Jesus said…..“the words I am telling you , are not “my” words, but the words of him who sent me”. Another words, (God’s the fathers word’s )

DT, Can’t believe your so ignorant that you ask such questions, it only shows how much you truly do not know what scriptures say.
1….”FAITH IS, the substance of things hoped for, (how) by the “EVIDENCE” of things not seen. You need to get your own “proof” that God does actually exist, and is involved in you life. Without that you have only “su…[Read more]

DT, you said…….> “Finally you say, “Jesus came as a flesh human” – so, he’s divine?!? What you’re saying doesn’t make sense, explain exactly what did the Jesus “DEMONSTRATE” that mankind was to follow? He told everyone to keep the law.
Please make sense of it.”

DT, you said…….You say the Jesus prophesied of his own death for the sins of others; I’ll ask again, when did God change his mind and say the innocent can take on the guilt of the wicked?
Jesus whole life was for the sins of others, meaning all of mankind, he “DEMONSTRATED” to USA all, what is required OF us “ALL” to have a right relatio…[Read more]

Proclaimer…….Good subject, The Bible is full of “Metaphors”, from Genesis to Revelations, hundred it not thousands of them. For instance in Genesis in the Garden is mentioned the “tree” of the knowledge of good and evil. We have to understand that a tree is that which bares fruit of some kind from the self.
