Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 14 2006,20:08)Hi,One original version of each letter miscopied a few times in different ways does not preserve absolute truth. Neither the oldest nor the most common manuscripts are proven true to the original writings.Maybe we should have faith that is the word of God. God's thoughts are not the same as ours. God's…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 14 2006,02:04)Hi kenrch, Did the apostles only write one version of each of the letters?Does it matter as long as God has His letter sent to His children. Anyone who has something to do with the outcome of His Letter should have been guided by the Holy Spirit. What if the translator looked at a word and translated it…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 14 2006,01:16)Hi, There is nothing like a brush with death to focus the mind. But then life itself is a terminal illness.Honestly, while I wait to go to sleep. I don't think I'll miss this world.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 13 2006,18:07)Hi kenrch, If the apostles only wrote one original copy of the manuscripts then all variations from those originals are incorrect. So looking at Jn 3 in the kjv”13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. “compare niv”13No one has ever…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 13 2006,05:24)Hi, Manuscript choices define the different bibles. Why can we not agree on the best choices?Oldest or most common?Because if translation A agrees with me better that translation B then I have to go with translation A.  For instance the KJV says “People of the saints” (Dan 7:27) where as some of the “other”…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 12 2006,17:58)Hi kenrch, Do all the saved rule with Christ? 2Tim 2″ 11Here is a trustworthy saying:   If we died with him,      we will also live with him; 12if we endure,      we will also reign with him.   If we disown him,      he will also disown us; 13if we are faithless,      he will remain faithful,  …[Read more]

But who is God's High Priest? I'm sorry I keep thinking that everyone knows who God's high priest is you're right there might be people who don't realize this.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 12 2006,16:56)Hi SS, Neither Jesus nor God is Melchizedek.Gen 14:18  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.But who is God's High Priest?

Psa 85:8  I will hear what God Jehovah will speak; For he will speak peace “unto his people, AND to his saints”: But let them not turn again to folly. Here we clearly have two class of people “His people AND His Saints.  Dan 7:22  until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, “and the time came that the sa…[Read more]

Quote But back to the holy ones who are to inherit the kingdom.  I know you've been discussing this on this thread for a while.  But I don't want to go back and look through the whole thread.  Is there any way you could summarize what you believe and what you are questioning in regards to these holy ones (saints)?Ummmmmm.  Ok As I said this has…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Nov. 11 2006,19:50)Hi kenrch,You say”If you want to be more than just saved then sell everything deny yourself and follow Jesus.”Matt 20″ 1″For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2″When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Nov. 11 2006,15:27)Afraid I can't help you. The scripture does seem to indicate there are groups of people who are saved but excluded from the heading of saint. It seems that most of the time that scripture excludes someone from the saint group it is those in leadership positions, contradicting my earlier post. in one case I…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 11 2006,18:18)Hi Kenrch.  What exactly is your question.  And what scripture are you referring to in the people of the saints?davidHi david,I'm looking for a scriptural answer to who are the “people of the saints”. Which leads to just who are the elect? We have a description of the 144K.Hey didn't you say that we can and it i…[Read more]

Hi seekingtruth,When we see Him we will be like Him. I am confused, we have talked about saints on another tread and through PM but are you saying you believe that the 144k are the saints through out the ages? I need to understand better (of course we should probably move to your saints thread). No I'm saying that in the millennium the 144k are…[Read more]

Hi St. Nick and fellow brother,Eph 4:11 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: “Eph 4:13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of…[Read more]

Krench I'm back had seek a little guidance from God to try and answer your question.Looking at the scriptures pertaining to the rich man to whom you refer we find him coming to Jesus asking, “Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?  And Jesus said unto him, “Why callest me good?  there is not g…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 10 2006,06:19)Quote All the letters to the churches may have been addressed to the “saints” in charge, or did you ever think of that.Out of all the saved people who are the elect?  Who are the people of the saints?  Are the 144k over the saints or are they the saints?I'm not mocking anyone you said you are a saint so you s…[Read more]
