    Special: For those of you expecting to go to heaven

    Could Jesus be implying the new earth? As in the future state as mentioned Re 21.

    In Paradise When?

    He did so for man. But God himself is not bound by time, my friend. Jesus Christ came into time to save us. And to state something of the OT here note the highlighted second: Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Note it says that season and...

    Special: For those of you expecting to go to heaven

    Yeah He did say that but that implies the "here and now". The folowing is said in Proverbs: Pro 11:7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. One doesn't have to go far back in history to see evidence of this. So same, in the reverse...

    A liar from the 'BEGINNING!'

    Who was this CREATED you keep mentioning? Their image? What image? What about some Scriptural support for this other CREATED. Who is he? Why not mention his name? And no Adam and Eve aren't the only ones. We're all made from one blood - Adam and Eve. And as the Scripture says further: Gen 5:3...

    Not all born-again Christians make it through the sanctification process!

    Short answer: YES. Long answer: Also yes. Christ is the only way. But if one has rejected in the past, but if one comes to realise his/her error and repents, forgiveness will come from the Lord. However if one rejects the offer from the Saviour then one is not saved. So no! One is not saved if...

    A liar from the 'BEGINNING!'

    Really? But that is not what the Scriptures say. So I ask you who was God speaking to in this verse: Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the...

    In Paradise When?

    This has to do with the thief on the cross next to Jesus. Eternity has no aspect of time. The clock has stopped. What is a minute, hour, day, month, year, century in the eternal state. Time is no more - (grabbing a coined phrase). So the approach is questionable. The Greek text used may be in...

    A liar from the 'BEGINNING!'

    Actually Elijah, there is but here is the rub. As the Godhead is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Trinity as we know it, man was made in the image of God. Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over...

    How secure are we in Christ?

    As long as you truly believe and have taken Christ as your Saviour. You have become a Child of God. And when things become difficult remember the everlasting arms of Jesus Christ are always ready to catch you - for you will walk by faith and not by sight. My desire is that you walk with Christ...

    The Conclusion of Acts 15 !

    Gentiles - Non Jewish believers (they were mostly greek but now include all nations) Bretheren - Brothers and Sisters Tabernalce- where the holiest of holies was in the Jewish temple. Pharisees & Sadducees - One division of the Religious leaders were called Pharisees and the other were called...

    Do we know God?

    We only know God by what He has revealed to us. Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. and in the following by what Christ has declared to us: Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he...

    I agree. Impossible! Hence my point to "Holiness". As far as I was aware of things one has to be a sinner to be saved!

    The CURSE OF THE LAW

    Sorry for butting in, but I agree. The problem we seem to be having is that we have a tendency to split the Bible into OT and NT, or The LAW and the Gospel. Should we be considering that the Word of God, the Bible, is a "Two-edged Sword" or Double-edged Sword? Doesn't the Law and the Gospel fit...

    Special: For those of you expecting to go to heaven

    Are you sure of that? Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband...

    Special: For those of you expecting to go to heaven

    Isn't there an analogy in this somewhere? Christ made reference to something about a student being like his teacher but can't be the teacher. Perfection is unattainable to fallen man - even after he is born again. To make a point even though the angel/cherubims are holy yet in Isa 6 we have the...

    How secure are we in Christ?

    Amen! 100% :shades Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. The same implies to all believers. Except those who totally fall away...

    The Conclusion of Acts 15 !

    From the text, mostly quoted in the previous post, it appears that the Pharisees and Sadducees - collectively known as the Sanhedrin - were trying to impose the ceremonial Law with its rules on the Gentile Christians. Paul and Barnabas were Jewish Christian who saw the futility in this. As did...

    Thank You Atonement, BTW I like your avatar. I've always wanted to get a tie with the Creation scenes on it. But now that I think about it again, it would gather dust in the wardrobe because I can't stand wearing shirt and tie any more. I've gotten so use to wearing shirts with top button...

    How's your weather today, where you live?

    Full Moon tonight! It was a big orange on the horizon. Nights seem to getting colder - normal as we're heading into winter.

    Yeah thanks guys, Great privilege being here. I'll have to take a look at the 10 commandments. I'm sure that I'll be knocked for six. It is getting past the first base that worries me. On another note, I've got an issue trying to get things to with my tablet, like my AVATAR. Maybe I have to...
