Mike,I answered the question you asked of:Quote Why then did John say this:Now you have additional points.Quote 1.  We don't yet know what WE will be.I agree.Quote 2.  We don't yet know what JESUS is, because we have yet to see him as he is.Those John wrote to and us today just see Jesus as a thing we are to hope for.  John also wanted to see Je…[Read more]

To all,Thank you.I also believe it is a promise that those whose soul hunger and thirst to be righteous as God is righteous will be filled with a righteousness that is like God's.It this promise fulfilled by those that adhere to the new covenant?

To all,Thank you! does it also tie into the words of Matthew 5:6 and if so how?

Wakeup and T.I hear what you both say but can you answer my questions?

To all,Thank you for your answers.Romans 6 has passages that speak of being a servant as well.  Was Paul using it the same as Jesus in that letter?

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Feb. 06 2014,19:28)Kerwin……… A Day is “as” or (same as), a thousand years with God, and a thousand years is “as” or (same as) day. Another words One equals the other in Gods time perods.Day= 1000 years 1000 years= a Day.  So if we apply that to scripture we can see that there is a seven thousand year time periods and…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 05 2014,01:02)Okay Kerwin,So you believe that the body Jesus dwelled on earth with for 40 more days before being taken to heaven was his new “spiritual” body, right?Mike,Yes, I believe he was in his spiritual body after his resurrection and therefore during the forty days just previous to his ascension to heaven.  I will…[Read more]

Mike,The creation story in Genesis explicitly declares God made all things through his word.  It does not declare he made anything through another being.To idea that the Christ was there to have heaven and earth created through him is a teaching that some derive from certain passages of the NT and then look for those in the OT that can be…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 02 2014,22:09)Kerwin,My point remains that Jesus wasn't exactly like everyone else who will be raised from the dead.  There were things about Jesus that were different from anyone else who is to follow him from death to life.Would you agree to that?Mike,Jesus is the heir of God and so there are some differences related to…[Read more]
