So to be clear, the discussion here is this:
Those in favor of NAR doctrines need to argue their case from Scripture, and they need to use logic and reasoning and respond to the questions and comments brought up..
Those who oppose the NAR doctrines need to argue their case from Scripture, and they need to use logic and reasoning and respond to the questions and comments brought up...
Specifically, the pieces of NAR doctrine that have come up so far in this thread are these:
1.) Do Christians still have a sinful nature after they are saved, and can we still sin?
2.) Did Jesus give up being God during the incarnation? Did He lay aside His deity and all His divine powers and do all miracles only as a man who was empowered by the Holy Spirit?
3.) Whether or not healing is guaranteed in the atonement
However, the topic of this thread also deals with:
4.) Any other part of Manifest Sons of God teaching or NAR teaching
If anyone posts anything other than the above four topics in this thread, your post will be ignored by me.
And everyone participating needs to be forthright about their position. No playing games.
If you cannot meet the above requirements for discussion, then the discussion is over. I will not debate with someone who is just throwing random things out there, or who does not respond to the questions or comments that are brought up, or who is not completely honest about their position. It is a total waste of time if you're just here to spread your NAR doctrine.
Those of us who oppose NAR doctrine, let's not take this discussion in other directions either. We're here to show those caught up in false doctrine the truth. It's their choice what they want to do with it.
What's a Nar doctrine? I only teach the Doctrine of Christ... I can just quote what Jesus said and handle your beliefs with that...
2) if you can't prove Jesus did any miracles before he receive the Holy Spirit. You can't justify your answer.
3) healing in the atonement.. Saved to Greek is sozo which means to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction
one (from injury or peril)
to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health
to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue
to save in the technical biblical sense
negatively 1b
to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment 1b
to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance
Are you saved now or later? If you are saved now that means healed, restored to health..
