How true! I have found only wilderness outside His rest. blessings brother

mondar Hi mondar, Greetings, we have discussed the prophesy in the past. Here is a thought about prophesy passing away: Any existing prophesy that is unfilled cannot pass away until it is fulfilled. Otherwise the word of the Lord has returned to Him empty without achieving the purpose for...

Here is a new OP to focus on the Lord's supper as it is found in the gospels, starting with Matthew. Please follow the forum rules in respecting others. Matt 26: 26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take...

Hi savedbygrace57, The context of 'flesh and blood' cannot inherit the kingdom of God' in 1 Cor 15 assumes we have already fallen and been redeemed. The best you can do is say that Christ died before the foundation of the world and the death of Christ on a cross presupposed the creation (in...

Hi awaken, No question about many twists along the way, they often involve doctrinal disagreements and end up in church splits. Likewise about the gifts of the Spirit - I was taught that once the scriptures were canonised - eg the prophetic gift disappeared and with that the prophets...

awaken wrote: Hi awaken, What about the apostolic and arguably the prophetic faith delivered to the saints by the apostles and prophets? Admittedly I use a blank piece of paper (a clean slate) when studying something. You will come up against the expression 'scripture interprets scripture'...

Hello Cornelius, I'm not sure why you refer to 'literal and spiritual' when I said 'first comes the physical and then the spiritual?' You seem to be drawing a distinction between 'literal and spiritual' instead. Please clarify? To what are you referring to in saying 'what is true for the one...

bgriff asked: Hi bgriff, Fair question - where presupposes a place and a place presupposes creation. Genesis simply says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Prior to creation we could speak of God only without reference to the created order or where. God is Spirit and...

HI Cornelius, The lamb of God is a title of Jesus just as the Son of man is, or King of Kings is. When John the baptist said ' There goes the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world - to what lamb is he referring to if not alluding to (the replacement) of the lamb sacrificed in the OT...

Hello Cornelius, First they literally ate the flesh of the lamb (OT passover); then they had to eat the flesh of the lamb of God. You eat the Word but stop short of the Word became flesh which you are invited to eat. So there is an issue with Jesus' humanity here (incarnation) , not Jesus'...

Hi Cornelius, You are right in saying Peter did not say 'You have the flesh of life that we eat.' It was Jesus who repeatedly said unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood' you have no life in you. etc -- this is reiterated a number of times in different ways where the...

Hi folks, The problem is that sexual intercourse (reserved for male and female married couples) in the natural sense is not possible between two men, nor two women because both gay and lesbian couples lack the necessary complementary physiology. The apostle Paul talks about natural and...

Hi gerard, The Sabbath started at creation - when God rested from His works. Later when the law was given the Sabbath was 'enshrined in the law' - as a day of rest from work. In reading the NT the Sabbath remains a day of rest (from work). Communion (with God) is a Sabbath feature of the...

hi theothertexasrich, Interesting question that can get a little philosophical.. I can believe in something - but my beliefs doesn't make it true. For example, I believe Mexico lies north of the US or I believe Mexico lies south of the US. In either case Mexico is where it is in relation to...
