homwardbound, I KNOW you get drowned by all the Bible ; Because you are a Gnostic with very narrow, tunnel vision. Sorry, but you need to read your Bible with an open mind... Love you, Hoffco
Okay, to be clear here, I believe, know Christ came in the flesh through the virgin birth of Mary and in hid perfect flesh went to the cross, died and rose again in order to give those that beleive new life. This new life is in Spirit and truth, by the resurrected Christ by Father who is the gift giver after Son cleansed the deck for us, if we beleive, we receive and see.
There is a work involved, and it is the hard work to enter Father's rest, by belief:
Hebrews 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not
enter into my
rest.)
Hebrews 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not
enter into his
rest, but to them that believed not?
Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left
us of
entering into his
rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Hebrews 4:3 For we which have believed do
enter into
rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall
enter into my
rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
You are as from your posts I see you talking out of two sides of your mouth
One side you say yes we are forgiven
Then comes out butttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am seeing this unfortunately,
Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto
me with their mouth, and honoureth
me with
their lips; but their
heart is far
from me.
Loving you Doug, God is just loving you and there is nothing you can do or not do to change this
