There are important points in the passage. "So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you...

Welp... There are three. The Son and only begotten of God, Christ Jesus. The son, Adam. Israel is also referred to His first born. But, by extension, should be understood to be Christ, the Seed. How'd I do? :cool:

Of course. Only that the promises (in time and space) vested first in Abraham, a descendant of Eber, from whom we derive the word "Hebrew". Abe was a Chaldean: a people-group that was not distinct until after Abe's time on the earth.

I sometimes wonder about the new-creation earth and its processes. Will there be any need for soil the is comprised of dead things? Bacteria that consumes dead matter and transforms it? Seeds that fall to the ground and die in order to live? Reproductive organs and processes? The cycle of...

Given that so many marriages in the church end in divorce because of the actions of either the husband or wife or both, it's no wonder such a simple concept escapes the pew-sitting masses.

Where is the "replacement"?

Paul wrote this letter to Timothy from prison. I imagine there were many believers, knowing about his imprisonment, who blamed the powers that be. This sentence in the letter served as a correction to them: Paul was no one's prisoner except the Lord's. This brings to mind something the Lord said...

Question about the title: Unmasking Tribulations counterfeit Gospel Is "Tribulations" meant to be possessive? Like "Tribulation's". If so, is the name of a ministry or church? I could not find anything on it. If it's not a ministry or church can you explain what the title means? Also, I've read...

Yeah, there’s only One Chief Cornerstone of God’s House: Christ Jesus.

All are true. We’re living in a time when the ultimate wheat (God’s people) grows along side the ultimate tare (Satan’s people). This contrast, soon to be clearly seen by all, is needed for righteous judgement.

Yeah, it’s the same word, different meaning. World can mean people (“For God so loved the world…”) or Satan’s systems (“Love not the world…”). But you are correct: he did not create the earth.

1And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience… 15Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone...

Eve (Woman) was the first “son of God, son of man”.

Yeah, for example the original 325AD creed did not mention the church. The reformed 381AD version included “In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church”… that’s a capital “C” Roman church. The creed also speaks of “the essence” shared by the Father and the Son. There is something amiss here...

No one is disputing that. #shrug

I am neither liberal nor progressive. You’ll need to learn a different talking point from your leaders.

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 Christ Jesus.

Right?! I think many just don’t care about the roots of their liturgy. Everything from membership, organization of the seating, leadership structure, programs, decorations, ministries… many have their roots in a religious structure created for the purpose of efficiently holding a populous to...

Yeah, more information is not what is needed. Elders who exemplify their message are what’s missing: people who are personifications of the Word, in whatever measure they’ve been given. Such is the model shown to us my Christ and the disciples. It ended when Rome made Christianity the state...

Interesting thought. I’ve never considered it. :unsure:
