So common the Jews wanted to stone Jesus after He said it. :unsure: “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him…”

”For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Being eternal is part of the fullness of the Godhead.

Yes, through Paul. If you don’t believe that I can’t help you.

Did He not speak through Paul?

In Christ, you are. Galatians 3:26-29 26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in...

“And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

Yes! He, Christ Jesus, is the template for all of creation! In fact, if it was created it came through Him. Creation hosts the plan for man and in Him (Christ) we are restored to God’s original intent. This is the gospel of RE-conciliation: to be restored to God as one in Christ.. as God always...

It is more accurate to say that the promises given to Abraham are INCLUDED in Christ. There is no replacement. All who receive Christ are Abraham’s seed because they are included in the One Seed who is Christ.

I’m surprised no one picked this up: In the beginning of what? Before I continue let me say that Christ is God and He is eternal. But eternity has no beginning (nor end). Eternity simply is. God and Jesus both said “I Am”. So we know they are both eternal. So John is referencing the beginning...

There will be no jeeting of any passage; exe or intra. You should know that passage is one of much debate. Namely: is it pre-Christ, post-resurrection, or is it a mix of both. Take it as you wish.

Since the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is my Everlasting Father it seems I may also rightfully claim to be a Jew in the spirit, as well. I'm good with that.

I'm not against any ethnic group and I certain wish death upon no one. I simply believe that a person comes to the Father only by the Son. I have no issue with the Jews being in Jerusalem at any time. But, Zachariah 14 is hardly proof that is must be so. There are parts of the chapter that...

Paul wrote in Galatians 3:29 "And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s descendants, and heirs according to the promise." Since I am Christ's, do I have a claim to the land, too? Just for reference, the word for "descendants" above is the same word for 'descendants' used by the Jews...

Yeah. The war in Gaza is not a heads or tails kind of war. It's complicated. Very complicated given the centuries-long history of strife between the descendants of Isaac and Ishmael. And it didn't start on October 7th. Both sides are killing one another. One does it because their religious...

Because of abuse by the hands of very outspoken Christian relatives, I was taught by my parents to be very wary of the overtly spiritual. As I grew older I sought out teachers who were known to be "bible-believing". These were mostly Baptists and other conservative churches. Yet, when I grew in...
