The mind is your playground desiretruth.

Playing games is your forte.

sigh.

Hi Desiretruth,

You attack the false church as if she is relevant to anything.

Your apparent INCONSISTENCIES are because you are not subject to the Master.

DEVOTED to REBELLION you attempt to undermine him and his servants in service to your master kicking against the goad is inevitable frustration.

Hi Desire,

Paul is a proven anointed servant of God in Christ.

So what are your qualifications that enable you to judge him and his words?

Phil 2 is spiritual language of course.

Speaking of the Word, the Spirit of Christ.

Yes

in Mt 19 Jesus did say

” if you would be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor…and come follow me”

Following Jesus leads to the opportunity to be reborn of water and the Spirit which was opened to all at his death and spoken of by Peter at Pentecost.

Hi PC,

lk 18.20… COME

First Jesus counselled him to obey the Law

”You know the commandments

DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY

DO NOT MURDER

DO NOT STEAL

DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER

And he said “All these things I have kept from my youth

When Jesus heard this…COME FOLLOW ME”

Rom8 1

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Hi Desire,

You have found that there are apparent inconsistencies in your mind between the OT and the NT.  Since both are written by the Spirit through men then the answer should be obvious.

Seek the Spirit in the way Scripture advises and shop relying on your carnal mind to provide answers. Submit your mind to the Spirit and God will renew it…[Read more]

Hi Desire,

I realise that you have no faith in Jesus and in his Anointing as the Christ.

Overconfidence in your limited understanding of the Law too robs you of the life God offers you in His Son and causes you to fall back on your own instincts. You seek others to join in your walk towards spiritual death.

The book of Romans was written to new Jewish converts who were vacillating and tempted to go back to reliance on obedience to the Law in the vain hope of salvation through that.

Chapter 10  shows them how close they are as Jews,  and that all they need is faith in the intermediary appointed by God, Jesus Christ.

Perhaps you find yourself in t…[Read more]

So what the Jewish people claimed to see in the OT words was revealed by the anointed man Paul to have a deeper spiritual meaning.  Perhaps you need to listen to the words of the Spirit and seek the anointing yourself.

Hi Desire,

Understand that the anointed sons of God in Christ Jesus explain and interpret the OT.

No one except fools can dare judge the Lord Jesus (who is Lord of all ) and those joined to him.

Remove the blindness and awaken to life.

Hi Desire truth,

O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?

Them beginning with Moses and with all the prophets he explained to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures.

No I have not read her books.

Why should we search for someone to follow?

Folks get led into ditches that way.

The SDA adherents earnestly claim to be Bible based but often seem to offer their church teachings including those of Ellen White as if they have equal validity- reminds me of the Catholic Church claiming their church teachings are as sacred as scripture.

hmm

Hi Jodi,

Of course ONLY BEGOTTEN is translated from one word,  MONOGENES.

How dare you challenge the Spirit that spoke and worked through Paul.

Do you not fear God?

“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness”

2 Cor12.8

So how weak was the son of God.?

But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the Law.

Gal 5.18
