Christ came to fulfill the law, it's no longer a schoolmaster, but is the knowledge of sin verse 10 of the law, works under the curse and were required to keep it as Abraham.

Ok gotta clear up this... John The Baptist had empowerment not the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, indwelling happened at Pentecost after the ascension, John is no exception.

I did apologize thanks ! I was a little off kilter but it comes with the territory. I'm sure he understands there's a lot of wishy washy people who can claim to be who they aren't and the state of the church isn't any better, so I'm leery who I listen to. I don't know him from Adam, and he did...

Ok ya got me, Christ had all authority after his resurrection, but only at the right hand of the father was he able to pour out the spirit to believers. So... the OP's contention to resolve the pouring out of the spirit in the OT verses the NT... The OT God was in authority, so yes He poured out...

Ben Then they were never chosen to begin with. And... If you read God gives those to Christ He chose. God is alot bigger than our finite mind can wrap our heads around. You're thinking of Christ weeping over Jerusalem, gathering chicks as a hen and they would not. He was speaking what Israel...

predestined.... is an English word, and in the Greek mean the same thing. Pre.. before destined to eternal life. Determined before, predetermined, before ordained. It's a self explanatory word, that can't be expounded on to mean something else other than what it means. How does an Armenian...

Luke 3:22 King James Version 22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Yes three in one but God sent the holy Ghost in a bodily shape, a bodily shape signifying the spirit...

I won't say that people aren't getting saved, and I'm sayin' it's not the most important part of conversation... but, The whimsical message salvation message and l can’t accept that it’s genuine.
