Watchman Nee imbibed gnostic ideas during his ministry from Jessie Penn Lewis, which is plainly seen in 'The Spiritual Man'.

Ethnic Israel is no longer the 'people of God', they were rejected by Jesus as a result of their rejection of Him. 'Therefore, I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produce the fruits of the kingdom'. Matt 21:24. The Land promises were fulfilled in...

The 'spirit, soul and body' being preserved blameless, has to do with being sanctified wholly. The NT concept of sanctify is to make morally clean. Thus, the meaning is to be cleansed (morally) through and through and to be blameless (not faultless) when Christ comes again.

Can you explain what you mean by 'needs to be saved in his spirit, soul and body' with appropriate scriptures please.

Replied to your email. Having problems sending them. Please let me know if you got it. Jeff.

Yes, that would be good.

One of the reasons for the present 'sinning religion' is current theological extremes. An over emphasis on imputed righteousness (justification) and not enough on imparted righteousness (Sanctification). An extreme view of OSAS that excuses a lax lifestyle of disobedience, all the while...

Ok, so I don't have enough information about Hebrews, its audience and its purpose? Let's try this. Author. Although there have been many contenders, remains 'unknown'. Genre. Sermon. Addressees: 'The best proposal is William Lane's. It builds on the argument that Hebrews was written to an...

As someone with a mental health diagnosis, I know it has taken a toll on my relationship with my wife. You need to discuss this with your lady, pray together over it, a try and determine God's direction. Be Blessed.

I think the Day of the Lord is from the coming of Christ in glory through to the New Heavens and New Earth.

Calvary leads one to Pentecost.

Your generalizations about those who don't hold to Dispensationalism are incorrect. It is a fact that dispensationalism was unknown before 1830 along with a pre-tribulation rapture. These ideas came to Darby while convalescing after having fallen off his horse. Dispensationalism is a man-made...

John Wesley similarly taught that there is initial justification and then final justification when we stand before the judgement throne.

Thanks Jacob for such an interesting take on Daniels 70 weeks. I have had my doubts about the usual dispensational take for some time now. You have given me much food for thought. Thanks again.

Not sinless perfection, that one can reach a place in Christ where we cannot sin. But rather, Christian perfection, that through the love of God reigning in the heart, we need not sin. Please read my commentary of Rom 6 post # 49 for my view on the Christian and sin.

As you wish. It is 3am here in Sydney and I am suffering from insomnia. All I can say David, is if you get hold of a good commentary on First John you will find the context to the book is Gnostics infiltrating John's churches. With that, I am going back to bed to try and get some sleep. God bless.

Yes, I love the Lord with my whole being and my neighbor as myself. The Lord has cleansed me from ALL sin (1 Jn 1:7) and ALL unrighteousness (1 Jn 1:9). 'For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death'. Rm 8:2. 1 Jn 1:8 was aimed at not Christians...
