    Bible Study Understanding Total Depravity.

    Hi Tenchi Nobody was redeemed and born again until after the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. The relationship between man and the Holy Spirit changes from the OT to the NT. The Holy Spirit did not work in OT saints in the same way that He did in the NT. The relationship was...

    Bible Study Understanding Total Depravity.

    Hi Glory I haven't seen one passage from this article that proves libertarian freewill. This article says "the Bible teaches the freewill of man", but does not provided one passage to prove this. Only with a total and complete disregard for context could a person come to those conclusions with...

    Bible Study The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew

    Nobody was born again until after the death, resurrection and ascension. It was due to them, as a direct result of Jesus' ministry, but they had to wait for the things that justified them to actually happen to be born again. Dave

    Bible Study The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew

    I agree with all of this. But you left out the historical context, which is everything. What could save a person before the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus? Nothing, not even credit. Credit kept you in Hades waiting for it to actually happen. We call Pentecost the berth of the Church...

    Been having a major disagreement with boyfriend and needing some insight and/or advice.

    If you're not married young, chances are you're going to fail somewhere down the road. If you want a pure love, you'll want you and your spouse to be a pure as possible. The more it is shared, the more it is diluted. That's just my personal opinion. Anyways what is the meaning of "consummated"...

    Thread of OT types

    Here's one that I used recently. Peter uses the Ark as a type of Jesus. Being placed into the Ark saved Noah and family from God's judgment, the flood. Being "placed into" Christ, our Ark, by way of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, also saves us from God's judgment. 1 Peter 3:20-21 who formerly...

    Bible Study The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew

    Hi J Not sure if this is what you were after but, for the sake of being thorough... To be "in Christ", is the result of Jesus placing the Holy Spirit in us in response to our genuine faith in Him. This is the baptism with the Holy Spirit. When we are "in Christ", all this applies... He lived...

    A more interesting approach into the OT?

    That was interesting. :cool They used to call things like that traditional, in other words, nobody owns them. Many of the old hymns are traditional. If you look for the credit, they often say anonymous. They wanted God to have all the glory and refused to take money for them. I always thought...

    Been having a major disagreement with boyfriend and needing some insight and/or advice.

    For what it's worth. I believe that the physical part between a man and a women is the marriage. The wedding is just a public profession, like water baptism. Just for the record, most people, many of whom I respect greatly, disagree with me. When the two become one. In my mind, these two are...

    Yes, Testament means Covenant, and vice versa. Try this. It does a much better Job than I can. https://christianforums.net/threads/hebrews-outline.28898/

    Thread of OT types

    Jonah was a type of Jesus. Many people think that the type ends with Jonah being three days in the belly of the fish, like Jesus spent three days in Hades, and both rose from within those places. But Jonah preaching to Nineveh was also significant. They were Gentiles, and what happened after...

    Live, I never heard that before. That's deep. Me needs to ponder on that one for a while. Thanks

    Bible Study The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew

    Hey all I don't mind books being separate. I don't see a downside to that. Chapter and verse, though, can cause problems where there weren't any otherwise. They are helpful, but I do try to make a conscious effort to note that when originally written, these books didn't have chapters and...

    Bible Study The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew

    Hi For His Glory. Amen. Sometimes I think that our need to categorize things can cause problems that we cannot foresee. Like books in the Bible being marked by chapters, often times thoughts from the end of one chapter are not finished until the beginning of the next chapter. The original...

    Bible Study A Vessel of Honor

    Hi For His Glory. Amen. More recently, I always try to make it a point to say it like this. "giving your life to Jesus in faith" instead of 'coming to faith'. I think that it paints a better picture of what a saving faith is. I need to remind myself of this all the time. Dave

    Thread of OT types

    Thanks for the responses. The greatest painting ever made was made with words. In many ways, the Old Testament painted the New Testament. Live, Jesus is often called the second Adam. Where the first failed, the second succeeded. Adams life had a significant impact on humanity, likewise, so did...

    Bible Study Understanding Total Depravity.

    Free From What? by J.W. Hendryx Hey John, how goes it? I enjoyed reading your article on "unregenerate will, self-determined but not free" Question: I was wondering if you had anything else similar that you could recommend. I liked your illustrations and examples. I am still trying to find...

    Thread of OT types

    Websters dictionary....“a person or thing [in the Old Testament] believed to foreshadow another [in the New Testament].” For example, comparing Adam in the Old Testament to Christ, Romans 5:14 says Adam “is a type of Him who was to come.” Here's another. Manna, in the OT was a 'type' of God's...

    Bible Study The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew

    Another way to say it. When did the New Covenant begin? Quick Answer: When did the New Covenant begin? The New Covenant began at the death of Christ (Luke 22:20; Hebrews 9:16). This means Jesus lived and ministered under the Old Covenant (Galatians 4:4). This is why some of Jesus’ teachings...
