    Are children born without sin

    I believe God is merciful. I’m sure within the mysteries of the Word there is a open door for the innocent. If God through Christ will Judge men who do not know the Law according to their conscience, how much guilt can the conscience of a child have but a pure and clear conscience...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    “God's purpose in election” God has a purpose, the elect are God’s Children. When we elect someone for office, we chose the individual. God’s elect is self explanatory. God elected them. “The older will serve the younger” is God’s will for His purpose, I except it for what it is; it is...

    Are children born without sin

    What is it that is passed on to every generation? It is understood that sin is something committed against God. A new born has committed not a thing against God Even before conception there is a mysterious flaw that is implied scripturally to every human. This flaw makes us unacceptable...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    appreciate the question: Roman 9:19-13 10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    Brother JLB I could have been a bit more tactful and I apologize for that But the substance from “God hates Esau” does not change. We cannot change the meaning of what is written for any reason. I study the Bible to learn and to teach other. Accuracy is vital. Otherwise we lose its...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    Subject: God hates Esau Are you teaching from a different gospel which is no gospel? Is not the Word of God good enough that you have to correct Him? Malachi 1:2 2 “I have loved you,” says the LORD. “But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’ “Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the LORD...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    May I invite myself into discussion? People continue to make mistakes and God knows it. Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. If your arm causes you to sin, cut it off. What Jesus was actually saying is that it is impossible for man to be righteous on his own. How many men...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    We are saved by Grace through faith in Jesus. Jesus said no one can comes to the Father except through Me. This is foundational God has other plans beside Christians according to past promises. Christ will be King of whole world (Zechariah 14:9) giving others who are worthy a chance to know...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    what does your family have to do with Scripture. the Jews were hardened until the times of the gentiles is complete, it's in the bible do you not believe the Word of God, most preachers have swept passages about the Jews and believe it's all about Christians. I can find more passages for...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    What about these passages do they make any sense to you? Ezekiel 37 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    Have you read the passage, is it not clear? The Spirit said, “the leaders will bind you.” The Spirit does not say, “Paul, do not go.” (Sounds like a political spin) this is why there is much confusion in scripture. Acts 21:11 “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    There was a purpose for Paul to go to Jerusalem. One reason is for documentation, for us Christians understand and know all that Lord inspires for His purpose. Who can understand the Mind of God? Here we are bickering over whether Paul should have gone to Jerusalem or not. What is the point of...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    If it was the Lords Will for Paul to visit the Church Believers in Christ, is it also the Lord’s Will for the Church of Jerusalem to continue to be zealous for the Law. Does this mean they are considered Jews or Christian?

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    It doesn’t matter what I think. Paul was lead by the Holy Spirit; there were forces trying to discourage him. Were these forces Godly or by demons. When we start second guessing God’s purpose then we’re in trouble. I’m only trying to figure out the meaning of inspired passages without...

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    Are you saying the Church of Jerusalem which was managed by Peter and by the Apostles since the day of Pentecost, lead by The Author of the Book of James were not Christian?

    Paul returned to the Church of Jerusalem

    I’m suremany have read this from scripture over the years and opted not to pursuebecause it did not fit a pattern already established. Paulreturned to the Church of Jerusalem to report of How God had worked wondersamong the Gentiles. James the son of Mary, the mother of Jesus had become the...

    The Remmant

    Jesus said, “no one can come to the Father except through Me.” Is there anyone before Jesus’ resurrection acceptable to God If yes, how are they justified without Jesus? Is there another way to the Father?

    The Remmant

    You’re right.... it is a thousand years apart The Christians do not make their appearance until the wedding. This is because Christians free from sin. made pure because of the blood of Jesus. The bride is kept safe from any turmoil until everything is complete. The bride makes her...

    The Remmant

    Men have only one chance; to believe the Gospel and be saved or to reject it and be condemned. if Christians have a place in Heaven prepared by Jesus, why a Kingdom on earth; what is the purpose? There are many scenarios but unless it lines up with all of scripture it becomes invalid...
