    What does Jesus redeem you from?

    Man, we are such different levels of understanding. Seriously though, I'd love to have you in one of my Bible Classes, especially when I'm teaching on the New Creation or the Eternal Priesthood. It would make for some interesting discussion among the saints. And I do believe you could learn...

    What does Jesus redeem you from?

    Remember, Jesus cannot overcome for us. Many do not agree. But it is clear Bible. Are you familiar with Revelation chapters 2 & 3? "To him who overcomes..." begin all the promises of God given to those who are already "saved." If Jesus had overcome for us individually, and these promise...

    What does Jesus redeem you from?

    As one who has been teaching the Bible for many years now, that did bring me a chuckles this morning! :disgonbegood: Now, I by no means claim to know it all, not by any stretch; but in this area of our Journey and destiny in the Kingdom, the Lord has revealed great insight and Truth concerning...

    What does Jesus redeem you from?

    If you can grasp the Truth that Adolf Hitler was "redeemed" in one sense, yet will definitely not be raised in the First Resurrection, and most likely will be among the few barred from entering the Kingdom when he stands before Christ (Head & Body) and is judged at the Second Resurrection (i.e...

    What does Jesus redeem you from?

    Hmmm... Interesting... Don't recall ever saying I don't feel I will be redeemed by God for eternal Life. Perhaps you are thinking of another? No huge problem for me... as long as I continue striving to obey the Lord and meet His conditions upon God's call for my life. But thanks for your...

    What does Jesus redeem you from?

    One of the biggest misunderstandings in modern theology is difference between 'corporate' and 'individual' "redemption", as well as "salvation." That is why the Lord lead me to spend so much time studying and teaching from 1Cor 10. For here the Spirit, through Paul, helps us to see that the...

    The GREATEST GIFT (Inheritance of Creation)

    An excerpt ~ God’s gift to us of salvation, grace & the opportunity for Eternal Life has been well taught over the centuries; but here I want to look at the gift that Father God has given to His Son, the Man Jesus, and to those who become One with Jesus in Christ.3 The gift of dominion - the...

    It appears you may be confusing "redemption" with being "saved." These are closely related, but are not synonymous. We can look at that perhaps later. But first... Did you know that neither Paul or John in any of their writings ever mention the word "hell"? Not even a single time. If one of...

    What does Jesus redeem you from?

    Amen. Jesus is indeed our Redeemer! And what we DO with that Redemption we receive will determine our Eternal destiny. :)

    Oh, dear one, you quite misunderstand me, just as so many misunderstood Jesus and His Apostles. :) Of course Jesus is our Redemption. He alone has saved us from bondage to sin, and has set our feet on the path, the Way that leads to holiness. And God will "give His Holy Spirit to those who obey...

    You realize, I'm sure, there is a great difference between the "Law of Moses" and the "Law of the Spirit of Life" which is Eternal. Personally, I teach the same Law that Jesus taught, which is an integral, inseparable part of the Gospel. What is often preached as the "Gospel" in most churches...

    When we realize the Gospel is NOT, 'accept Jesus, be saved and forgiven and look forward to heaven' , truly the Light dawns and the whole of Scripture begins to make sense. :ange06: Do you know that the "Gospel" was preached to Israel in the Exodus, quite some time before the Man Jesus was...

    The GREATEST GIFT (Inheritance of Creation)

    With the Season of giving upon us as we enter into the Christmas Season, I wanted to share something I wrote on a couple years ago and taught in our church, but have continued to add to as God, Himself, continues to unveil His Eternal plan and purpose for His Creation in the Christ. Backed by...

    Oh friend, it's about what GOD says in HIS WORD, not mine. If Jesus died only for the forgiveness of sins, then God's plan could never be fulfilled. How do you take what the writer of Hebrews states in his letter to those who had already been forgiven of tier past sins? "Therefore leaving...

    Amen. Some of the most fruitful times in the Word I've had has been among a few gathered in fellowship to pray, study the Word and seek the mind of the Lord. I've had several occasions to teach and fellowship in home groups for 6-7, even 8 hours at a time. :) And for me, most church services...

    You can have your opinion, that's fine. Perhaps you are surrounded by those who truly delve into the Word, past the "elementary principles of Christ." That would be wonderful. Although, interestingly, you personally have shown disinterest in, or even rejected, most of what I've shared that the...

    Brother, I absolutely agree with you. Time alone with the Lord God is essential, if we are to progress on to maturity. I was making more the point of so many choosing not to press in - whether it be a mid-week Service at church, a home fellowship, even a Bible Study/prayer time with the wife...

    One of the sad results of modern denominational doctrine is that most church folk don't really see a need to delve deeper into the Word of God, past the dozen or so verses that has formed current popular theology (at the expense of the vast majority of the rest of Scripture.). Personally, as...

    For the most part - yes. In context of the Christian religion, those who follow the Lord Jesus must be ones who take all we hear and "search the Scriptures daily to see if these things are so." In this way, we are judging the office of one who is a "preacher", "pastor", "teacher" or "apostle"...

    It's not that I'm more willing, in fact I'm more cautious with an ear listening to the Holy Spirit. But I believe this is part of coming to maturity in Christ; to be able to rightly judge. Again, if God's Elect are to "judge men and angels" in that Day, our preparation is taking place now. And...
