JUST as IF I'D never sinned
Declared righteous. Made righteous, yes, and in a sense, being made righteous ... the sanctification side of things. We are declared righteous, and are being made righteous, and will be righteous. All in Christ.
~For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no...
We havent been raptured yet, and Jesus hasnt returned yet.
Sooo, yep, still here. (We're here, because we're not all there :spinningsmilie:)
The prophecies in Revelation were obviously written as future events, were still future events when the written bible was completed, were still future...
HUMOR ALERT
•What a day...we spent 4 hours burying the cat.
~ 4 HOURS??!! To bury A CAT???!!!
•Yeah. Darn thing wouldn't keep still.
~ Oh. You mean it wasn't dead, then?
•No, no, but it wasn't well, and seeing how we're going on holiday.....
well, we didn't want to come home...to...ya know...
~...
Really well said, Lamm.
(Only thing is, I sometimes hesitate using the word 'elect' in 'mixed company' lol.
It can stoke all kinds of fires. :) )
But yes, by one man, sin entered.
And by the sacrifice of one, Jesus, (and ONLY by the sacrifice of Him) then, can whosoever will believe in Him and...
Of course they do? Oh well, they're allowed. Most, but not all, tho, right? So that's cool.
And Jesus doesnt and the bible doesnt, so I'm okay with that. And it sounds like some folks called the Anabaptists(?) dont, so it would be nice to meet them, find out what was shakin in the 1500s...
Okay, yes, as I thought. The statement, 'The Spirit doesnt tell us about the future' I would disagree with. 'The Spirit doesnt share new revelation to us today' is a different statement, and I would agree. Certainly not in a corporate sense. ('Individually' is another topic to discuss another...
Hmmm, maybe I'm misunderstanding your meaning, but I would say Yes the Spirit tells us about the future.
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The promises of God are revealed to us in His Word by His Spirit, and there are obviously future things to come that we can see only because...
np ... God bless you, brother.
Please point out mine anytime, (I'm sure I make many).
I really appreciate your insight into the Word of God and defense of the faith.
I'd LOVE to answer, if I may....
Yes, The Holy Spirit absolutely glorifies Jesus and reminds believers of what He said!
And Yes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth that guides us (believers) into all truth!
Hallelujah and Amen! \ :) /
So much of what is written and causing division in this thread is ALMOST making me sorry that I ever got water-baptised, just so I could prove that salvation is the GIFT of God, by grace, thru FAITH, apart from being water-baptised.
I'll bet there's a whole lot of ppl that died in faith in...
I'm guessing you MEANT to say, 'There's much needless disappointment.....if we DONT rightly discern what God is saying.' Yes no? ✓ (I get it, but just in case some others didnt)
Ahhh, ok thx, that clears it up.
Initially, w out a post quoted, I thought you were directing your other post to me since it followed mine. Now I see the passage you were referring to (which I'm not sure who initially posted it) but yes, thats diff than the 1stJohn verse I posted, which, as I...
Again, I'm trying to find what passages you mean ... I added a verse from 1st John to the list that TurtleHare posted in #9. Is that verse the passages from John you're referring to? I'm still unsure of what promise or comment from scripture you mean?
Of course, generally speaking, None of Gods...
(Okay, home from a long day, now, okay I'm trying to understand this)....That trusting in Jesus creates anti-social ppl? And anti-social ppl are those that only believe some parts of scripture but not other parts? I dont think thats what you believe, I'm just having a hard time making the...
Hi MennoSota
Without a quote, I dont know which comment you're referring to...was it part of mine from the previous post #10? A particular verse, passage or added comment of mine or another's, perhaps? In general, I'd agree with your questions highlighting the importance of rightly dividing the...
Yes! :cheer:
Yes again! :cheer:
And yes Amen! :cheer:
Yes, and (Hi TurtleHare) if I may add to your excellent list... ~1stJohn5:13~---------------------------
With all the wonderful scripture giving us assurance of salvation (am I allowed to open up the 'osas' here yet, lol) , I still find...
