t8,

Only God has the power to overcome temptation. Those that serve other “gods” do not have access to that power.

t8,

Notice that Peter declared this even before Jesus died to save humanity.

You have the same flaw here that is in all your reasoning and that is that Jesus is the one foretold to be God’s anointed. The only physical anointing he had was by perfume and the Spiritual anointing does not mention anything about being made King. Perhaps he was…[Read more]

@t8,

We are not like him yet according to John, but we will be like him when he APPEARS.

I am currently I am in my mortal body and he is in his immortal body. I have no knowledge of living in an immortal body nor will I have until I do so.

He was given a mortal body but it perished and his immortal body shot up to life from the where he was…[Read more]

Ed,

I do not want to come off as having knowledge that is not mine. I consulted grammar girl and the idiot’s guide to correct comma grammar.

t8,

I am sorry about trashing my words as everything I think does not always make it into writing.

My point being that if you believe Jesus is a human being then you believe he has a human soul and that human soul came into human flesh. You also believe he is the promised Christ.

If you do not believe that Jesus’ human soul came in human flesh…[Read more]

Ed,

I see where you are coming from but the wording of Scripture, even the AKJV is not friendly to your interpretation.

In English grammar the colon is placed after a complete sentence, which in Psalms 12:6 is “The words of the Lord are pure words”. The word afterwards serve to clarify or expand what came before the colon. Thus the words. “as…[Read more]

Ed,

I mean you speak without understanding all of what your words mean in that you see only those aspects that you believe are relevant.

In this case it means that the inferences of yours were not intended even though they exist in the language. I have done it myself.

@t8,

I am looking into this issue.

Psalm 2:6-7American Standard Version (ASV)

6
Yet I have set my king
Upon my holy hill of Zion.
7
I will tell of the decree:
Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son;
This day have I begotten thee.

I ask you what day is “this day”?

Is it not the day that God sets his king upon his holy hill of Zion?

@t8,

You see Kerwin, He was born the messiah, the Lord, the son of God. The angel testified to it, so there is no way that a person who takes God seriously is going to disagree with the words of a holy angel who delivered a message on behalf of God himself.

These words of Jeremiah are the evidence you choose to deny and I cannot do anything to…[Read more]

Nick,

You introduce some good points in the post that mentions Heb 2.17 and the following post.

Ed,

I assume you have the ability to figure what my answer is by what I wrote above. My short answer is a more informative that just saying 1) Christ.

Ed,

The Writings states Jesus did not immerse anyone. (John 4:2) Instead it is believers who immersed others believers by the authority invested in them by King Jesus the Anointed. God sends the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name (John 14:26) to fulfill the promise made beforehand to those whom obey the command the believe and be immersed in his name.…[Read more]

t8,

According to what I see you do not believe Jesus believe Jesus came in the flesh because he has a human soul that came in his human flesh and so has always been a human; just as Scripture testifies.

t8,

John 11:27Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

You can be a Lord without being the Christ but you cannot be the Christ without being the Lord. The two titles are linked and the Writings state “the Lord Jesus…[Read more]

Ed,

The answer is in Scripture.

Romans 8:15Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

God fathers all his children by given them his Spirit. Jesus is the chief of all of God’s children. That is his rank…[Read more]

Nick,

I have not disagreement with what you wrote in the last three posts.

Nick,

Yes, “your will, not mine”.

Nick,

I am not seeing the tie in.

Fot if we died with him we will also live with him is speaking of walking according the Spirit.

If we endure,we will also reign with him is speaking of the world to come.

If we deny him he will also deny us; this sounds like the tie in to Luke 9:26 and also to Hebrews 10:28-30 but I do not see how it resolves…[Read more]

Nick,

I was thinking of Luke 9:26 when I wrote those words but consider these words:

Hebrews 10:28-30Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath c…
