Same old, same old... People seeing people who have proclaimed initial salvation believing in Christ.. who live like they are not Christian. Therefore they conclude that initial belief in Christ has to be accompanied by a life of holiness to attain salvation. John 3:16, John 5:24, Acts 2...

I saw a youtube video on how the egg becomes a baby in the mother's womb- Fearfully and Wonderfully Made from AiG. It is so amazingly intricate and has so many processes going on that don't work if you apply randomness to it, or try and 'evolve' it out of something less. The way the egg...

So how would the flood cover the top of mountains and stay only local?

It had to be global. If you cover the top of a mountain.. the water around it has to be at the same level. The local flood idea would have water covering the top of a mountain or mountains and then some how suspending itself in mid air as it stops at a point. Aside from that .. the bible...

Maybe each small c church going back to the bible

Is 1 Corinthians 12 showing all believers as one body or the church at Corinth as one body? The 'ye' in this verse is the church at Corinth.

Body of Christ in terms of comparison with the Kingdom would be a small c church. A local body.. even though putting 'local'in front of the word body is a bit nonsensical. Body of Christ is the church. Church is an assembly of saved, baptized believers. All believers will be one church...

Yeah, in John 3, as KJV1611 posted.. the water is associated with water of the womb. Reason being is Jesus is asked by Nicodemus 'how can a man enter his mother's womb a second time'.. Jesus doesn't correct him but adds being born of water AND the Spirit. So the water is of the womb.

Still alot of people dead from covid 19. I know it's been crazy with the obsessive way the governments and media have treated it.. but try and tell what you've been posting to people who have lost loved ones and/or got the virus themselves. Anyway, it's a bit different here in NZ to America I...

The object of the belief... One is real and is imaginary. I could believe Santa could take me up in his sleigh but its unreliable.. untestable.. With Jesus on the other hand.. you can test belief in Him ... He is reliable.. testable etc... Science analogy doesn't quite cover it. But the...

Jesus also claimed to be God. He didn't say 'I am God' but the way He could forgive sin and do miracles by His own power.. are two points that show His diety. Santa doesn't claim to be God 😀 Also the coca cola Santa does not now nor ever existed. St Nicholas did. But I don't know much about...

Yes, well I'm still looking into it, but am inclined to also say they are Hebrew believers. But I am also just considering what DC replied with. Anyhoo, maybe a little more to come.

Wow.. lockdown is over here for now. But I've worked right thru all levels of it because my work is in making and selling savouries, pies, slice and cakes to supermarkets. Somehow we've got back to normal living first in the world I think

Yeah, I see it as either unsaved Hebrews trying to offer up animal sacrifices, but are trampling the Son of God under their feet because they know Jesus' words spoken to them but continue to treat His sacrifice as dung. Or they could be Hebrew believers.... like Galatians and Romans where they...

Well so far I am thinking the sacrifice in this verse is about animal sacrifice and that the Hebrews, if they sin willfully cant go back to the old system and sacrifice an animal to account for their sin. So being under the New Covenant to look to Jesus, the one sacrifice for all.

So this verse gets used alot to say that willful sin after salvation can lead to Jesus' sacrifice no longer being effectual. Effectively saying the salvation is undone for the individual. But what is the Hebrews 10 context? I know a lot of Hebrews has sacrifice related to animal sacrifice ...

Not sure what you are meaning .. I am pointing out that receiving the Holy Spirit as a group is different to an individual receiving the Holy Spirit. Individual.. this is getting saved. Group.. this is already saved believers being empowered.. and happens when they become a local church...

Have a close look at the disciples who were asked whether they had received the Hoky Spirit since they believed. There is a group of already saved believers being given the Holy Spirit ' in the midst' to be a church, and there is individual indwelling of the Holy Spirit upon initial belief

Remember the Holy Spirit indwells the believer. Therefore a demon could not cohabitate with Him in your spirit. Or any amount of demons. Remember the sealing of the Holy Spirit and the assurance of salvation. Also in Phillipians.. 'Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and...

I have encountered this also. Sometimes it was because they are not from here and would go back to their own country.. like a missionary coming here for a time and then completing the work or being called back. Other times the mentor wanted to get to a point where I could take the lead and they...
