Yes Nick,But I don't see that those on this board are seeking to fellowship with each other at the expense of seeking Christ, I get the feeling that most are first seeking Christ and also talking to each other to help each other and learn.

Nick,As well as being the son of David he is the seed of David – God has told us the mechanics of how he was going to do it.You said ask God and he will tell me, I have and he has left his answer in the scriptures.

I agree with what you say there, and also believe the scriptures that say that all have sinned and (in adam) all die, and (in Christ) all will be made alive.God is not running an exclusive club. He will reward everyone for what THEY have sown.

Nick,You have quoted scripture saying on 2 or 3 witness everything shall be established – we have prophecy in OT,  and NT confirmation about the SEED of David being used.Psalm 132:11 The LORD has sworn in truth to David; he will not turn from it: “I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.Jeremiah 23:5-6 “Behold, the days are coming,”…[Read more]

Nick,My goal is not to be “elect” or get rewards, crowns I am trying to make sense of life and find truth – JMHO  what I see in “christianity” is a fear of being left out of the “elect” class and it being cloaked in a Jesus says to be good so we will be good. There is a mindset that believers are good people obviously and unbelievers MUST be…[Read more]

Yes, To whom much is given more is required, if you reject what you have been given you open yourself up to adverse judgement.To those that are not given a lot and they use the little that they have been given wisely – they are judged on their fruit and deeds.

But Adam did not need a donation of a Y.God said he formed Adam out of the dust of the earth – so God created his genes/chromsomes etc When he prophecied the physical birth of the Messiah he did not say I will form him by the Holy spirit he said he would used the seed of…[Read more]

Yes DK,I agree with you, I was brought up in “christianty” and rejected that when I was  14 /15 but retained a belief in “God” – I have looked at different religions, trying to find “God” and agree that God transcends religions. For me, against my  will, I have been brought back to christianity.God has spoken through his prophets, however there a…[Read more]

Gene,Thanks for that, things were not quite working in that when does the antichrist (man of sin) step out and Jesus take his place – Jesus is there and the lies are hiding who he really is and when he returns the lies are exposed. Do you think it is only the trinity lie or all the lies that are a problem and related to the man of sin? – to me…[Read more]

The same question, if the natural man does not naturally obey God and Christ as they do not have the spirit of God, salvation is only limited to those who are given the spirit of God.

Nick,It is not just drawing near to God and Jesus or drawing near to brothers and sisters it is both, we are to seek truth earnestly and also fellowship, exhort each other.

Hi Adam,Where I am at the moment is that as well as being the son of David (which has a loophole that Jesus could be the adopted son of Joseph and so, son of David) he is of the seed of David John 7:42  Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? Romans 1:3  Concerning h…[Read more]

Scripture says that the Messiah will be of the seed of David – so that needs a Y chromosome – where did it come from? – it did not come from Mary.

But Adam,When are we given the ability to desire to seek/understand – if we are not given it at birth and we naturally can not do it? If that spirit is not given to everyone to have the ability to seek then not everyone has the chance to repent and so Christ did not die for everyone but only the ones that are given the spirit of God.

Nick,Thanks for the scripture – that says that the spirit of man knows the things of God – also we are told the natural man can not receive the things of God1Cr 2:14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know , because they are spiritually discerned.It seems there is…[Read more]
