    What does sanctification have to do with salvation?

    Sanctification is the act or process of acquiring sanctity, of being made or becoming holy. (Set Apart) Justification is a free gift and as such our first taste of Sanctification is as well. However if we do want to continue in the grace of YHWH Elohim it is through our walk that we do so...

    What does sanctification have to do with salvation?

    Because Very nice friend. I had to ask and it clarifies for me what you believe is correct or at least I know you understand what the scriptures say. Now they also point to "the way" in Messiah or Christ Jesus our Master. I say Master because we who where once slave to sin have become...

    What does sanctification have to do with salvation?

    Yes this is called positional sanctification as I said before Yes, this is conditional sanctification which may change day to day, it is our current state wherever we are in our walk at that one moment, Yes I agree.. But this theologically biased term and not truth. Your definition of...

    What does sanctification have to do with salvation?

    My apologies, Justification is not without sanctification. It is Jesus setting us apart however. Justification is not unlike this analogy. Though the Earth quakes and the heavens are shaken His throne does not move. Justification is done when you accept the responsibility for your sin's and...

    What does sanctification have to do with salvation?

    Where does this positional rhetoric come from? Justification is a matter of using the faith provided by the Father to believe in Jesus the Messiah. The work in us the Holy Spirit has commissioned himself is manifold. That I'd yes it was the Holy Spirit that has allowed us to see the depraved...

    O.T. Circumcision a foreshadow of N.T. Water Baptism

    So often I hear, Old Testament texts and New Testament writings like there's a difference. If the two are not one, as Israel and Judah are not one. And to this day they worship golden calves. What a great deception the world has become. The "Renewed Covenant" is just that renewed. The...

    O.T. Circumcision a foreshadow of N.T. Water Baptism

    Just as a man eats what he wants or doesn't eat based on his own conviction. This doesn't mean everyone is doing right by Elohim. It means Elohim allows each to choose for themselves, life or death, blessings or a curse. Master forgive us

    O.T. Circumcision a foreshadow of N.T. Water Baptism

    Right so often what is taught to the assembly is not even a shadow of the truth. Shaul would have been fine with a new convert being circumcised if he was convinced through the word it is what righteousness requires of him. But that's the point until a man is circumcised of heart it becomes...

    PURIM! What's it all about? (Book of Esther)

    I believe that Purim ultimately is a testimony of the ever loving Father who looks after his people even while in exile if they humble themselves and pray. The way Ruth enjoined herself to Naomi and the Elohim of Abraham comes to my heart. I know it's not the same however Esther's way of...

    Are the Gospels written specifically to Jews only?

    Paul preached and was sent to the lost house of Israel among the nations. Paul did not teach to just trust in Messiah to be saved. He taught to obey the Father's instructions for our sanctification and to trust in Messiah for our salvation.

    Temple in the Millenium, does it contradict the Gospel?

    When Paul had Timothy circumcised was it a reflection of the heart of Timothy? I know Paul made it clear one purpose of the circumcision of Timothy was so he would not come under condemnation from the circumcision faction who were at that early time try to take by force what wasn't theirs. It...

    O.T. Circumcision a foreshadow of N.T. Water Baptism

    Circumcision of the flesh has become the circumcision of the heart today. The circumcision faction of the first century assembly was trying to convert the new converts to Jewdaisum and supplant the Kingdom of Elohim. It's the same story today. Abraham believed YHWH and credits him with...

    Are the Gospels written specifically to Jews only?

    I do understand the confusion around this issue. When we are commanded to go to all nations making deciples of them. Does he reject anyone who can't say they are descendants of Israel? To say the apostles where writing to Jews only is a bit ignorant of who Israel is. Maybe not so excuse me...

    Retire the Ten Commandments?

    Yes I keep the Sabbath day even if it's just remembered on the day. I don't claim to perfectly keep it. However I am persuaded that it was given for mankind as a gift, not simply a command. Please consider a question friend... When a parent gives a gift to his child, does he take it away...
