  1. Hidden In Him

    A look at 1 John 3.6

    Yes, but now you have the verse reading, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his Holy Spirit and the mystical body of Christ remaineth in him, and he cannot sin." Are you sure you wanna go with that reading?

    A look at 1 John 3.6

    No, Hopeful. We need to be skillful at exegesis, so that we accurately apply the written word to our theology. Live2Blive seems to be arguing that "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his Holy Spirit remaineth in him," and that is NOT what 1st John 3:9 says. We must take scripture...

    A look at 1 John 3.6

    Christ was the literal seed of Abraham, and came from his lineage, and that's what he was referring to in the verse.

    A look at 1 John 3.6

    Simply a reference to literal seed or offspring, yes? When John refers to being "born of God" and then refers to seed, the suggestion is he is making reference to being born again of incorruptible seed through the word that lives and abides forever just as Peter stated, correct? Whosoever is...

    Not in 1st John.

    A look at 1 John 3.6

    Well you see, this is why I asked. There is ample evidence from scripture that the metaphor of the seed is used of the word, from Jesus, from Peter, etc. Nowhere I know of is the seed used metaphorically to describe the Holy Spirit, so more proper exegesis - or what scholarship word refer to as...

    Jesus Cried for You

    Not sure if I completely agree with the premise, but reading new perspectives on the Scriptures is often interesting. Welcome to Christian Forums!

    A look at 1 John 3.6

    Greetings, live2blive. If you could, his seed is the word. How does the word enable us to never sin again?

    New Members: Nate & Amy & our calling.

    Well greetings, and blessings in Christ! There is indeed a Biblical principle in what you said here, one that Jesus Himself taught. When He said "The light of the body is the eye," and that "no man can serve two masters," what He was actually teaching was that we as believers have to get our...

    The Principle Of Warning Dreams

    How sad... Bipolar 1. And if he hand already burned down a church, than the spiritual help he was receiving would have been waiting to target Christians.

    The Principle Of Warning Dreams

    Glory to God Almighty!! What a testimony. And this is why we submit to the will of God, even when things don't seem to be going our way or make sense. They make sense to God, and He's watching out for us. I'm still waiting for the link to blue up cuz my computer is slow, but this is one of...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 2:4-10

    Maybe the better word is creative, but I got your point, LoL. :smlB Oh my. Another zinger! :ThumbBig I hadn't thought of this, but wow is that true. They had much bigger problems with discrimination due to social status back then, especially based on a person's wealth. Tore that business up in...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 2:4-10

    I've noticed that I pray more when I'm fasting, and that's especially true of tongues. The Spirit just rises to the ascendancy much quicker. :thumbsup2

    The Principle Of Warning Dreams

    The Principle Of Warning Dreams One of the most important uses for dreams is to serve as warnings of things that might happen if a believer should keep following a particular course. They can take several forms, but there are examples of some of them found in scripture. One such instance is...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 1:22 - 2:3

    This is very cool! I think the message may have been, "While I may be a little farther away, you can still ask Me anything and I will answer." It's cuz that's what James 1:5-8 teaches, but it just takes longer to receive that if He was right there, which is why you have to stay in faith for it...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 2:4-10

    Glory. :thumbsup2 In reading this I was reminded that Christ often gave Himself to prayer. It was a lifestyle. One of my biggest struggles in dealing with sinful appetites is boredom, and I sometimes wonder what on earth I am supposed to be doing with myself. That notion seems to provide the...
