Truths that so many believers, sadly, do not believe. It brings to mind this quote from Major Ian Thomas, in his introduction to 'Classic Christianity' by Bob George: "There are few things quite so boring as being religious, but there is nothing quite so exciting as being a Christian! Most...

I didn't suppose that you would - but offered it anyway, if not for you, for the reader who is open to interpretations other than yours ;). And I agree, by the way; Scripture alone should be our only source of doctrinal information. We are all human, however, and your personal interpretation...

Those who believe in Christ become the elect. One is not 'elect' in order to believe in Christ. Christ did the Work of the Cross, the Resurrection, the Ascension, and sits as the Perfect, Permanent High Priest for all who choose to believe in Him \0/ ! You may be considering two or three...

Aw, was not aware that the video would not come through for some folks. The video is a song by MercyMe titled, "Ghost" and refers to the Holy Ghost. It's a beautiful song with simple video graphics and a sweet message. I'll post the lyrics below. Perhaps if you search MercyMe Ghost in your...

Because . . . on this Halloween and every day . . . the simple Truths about God: He is for you, not against you. He has reconciled you to Him in Christ. Receive His gift - Life - the very indwelling of Christ in you, His Holy Ghost, Who will lead you through darkness, through the unknown 💜.

I believe that a case can be made that Ezekiel's Temple was conditional upon Israel's contemporary choices: Ezekiel 43:10-11 10 “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins. Let them consider the plan, 11 and if they are ashamed of all they...

The Blood of Christ 'appeased' the King (see propitiation). ONE sacrifice, for all sin, for all time: 8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added...

I like how Bob George puts it in his teaching, "God's Solution to Man's Problem - Life!": "What happens if I walk away from God?" "He just goes with ya." -JGIG

Read a bit further to Hebrews 10, where it states that Jesus does NOT "still there on the altar from the last time you sinned still interceding for you." 11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when...

Whenever I see a thread like this, I have to ask, "What difference does it make?" God has the 'Final Things' well in hand and planned out, regardless of how we've interpreted what we think will happen. What we believe or do not believe about how the Final Things will play out will not affect...

The one making the promise is the one who fulfills the promise. In the case of Jesus telling Peter what Peter would do was not a promise, but a prediction. -JGIG

Looks more like a prophecy than a promise to me. A promise is something God will do. Jesus was prophesying something Peter would do. You might want to rethink your position on this one. -JGIG

If all sleep, then who would be the 'cloud of witnesses' referred to in Hebrews 12?

Actually, the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, do not contain all of the ways God interacts with mankind. God in the flesh, Christ, came to relate to mankind in a way pointing to and to ratify the New Covenant, which gave God's righteousness and new life as gifts - apart from the...

That was weird my response to this post didn't come through - trying this again, lol. Salvation is not just the gift of the forgiveness of sins, but the gifts of God's Righteousness and New Life in Christ. And that life is not our life made longer, it is the Life of Christ put within us -...

What is your source for the above information? I'm not clear on what you're saying - it 'was all written down' by Moses or at the time of Moses? Who do you say wrote it all down? Torah is not an eternal written document, though I understand that some who are Torah pursuant would disagree with...

That God Himself allowed the Temple to be destroyed speaks to His willingness to further frustrate the keeping of the Law after the Work of Christ. And the Temple was not just destroyed - it was decimated. It also speaks of the UNwillingness of Israel to get that temple and priesthood back up...

Have you read the Old Testament??? 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. (from 1 Tim. 1) The Law is nothing if not specific in how it is to be obeyed, including how animal sacrifices are to be made, by...

Ummmm . . . Torah was not until Moses. What's your source for the above information? Yet the simplicity of the Good News of Christ says NOTHING of Torah observance/compliance/pursuance in order to be in Christ. Believe in Christ. Receive the gifts of forgiveness, righteousness, and New...
