When did the New Covenant begin? Quick Answer: When did the New Covenant begin? The New Covenant began at the death of Christ (Luke 22:20; Hebrews 9:16). This means Jesus lived and ministered under the Old Covenant (Galatians 4:4). This is why some of Jesus’ teachings expose the true spirit of...

The New Testament Begins in Acts Not Matthew When you read the Gospels in the Bible, such as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, do they sometimes seem to contradict other parts of the New Testament Scripture? For example, in Matthew 6:15, Jesus said, “If you refuse to forgive others, your Father...

Thanks Ben I hear secular terms used to defend sin and error all the time. Love never rejoices in sin, rather, it rejoices in truth (1 Cor. 13:6). Jesus, His Word are truth. These churches will put secular meaning on words to confuse you. Never underestimate the power of redefining words...

Hey Van The answer is right here in Romans 4 1-5 What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was...

Hi Alan We enter into grace, and receive life, the gifts of grace, through faith, Ephesians 2:8. By faith, Romans 5:1-2. This is the correct understanding of those passages and fits perfectly with the verses that you quoted. You're stretching the context of grace to include faith, but we begin...

Oops, my bad. I missed the rule in the fourth thread down. If I broke the rules, then delete the thread. Sorry.

I would really be unjust for Luke to mention that David's corpse was still in the grave, and thus did see corruption, without mentioning that he wasn't in Hell, if actual hell was what was meant.

High self esteem in the world of the new psychology seeks to eliminate the guilt of our conscience that results from sin. Unfortunately, this is exactly what many modern day preachers teach when they exclude from their preaching anything that may offend, like preaching on sin. Spurgeon...

It could be a flag, or a background on a sign. These are not Christian churches, but liberal churches. You won't find Jesus there. They will come as angels of light, though. I've seen a few in my neck of the woods already. The one in this youtube video is claiming to be a Baptist church.

Hey Walter. Good points. Yes, I was speaking of the way that they live, as opposed to their theology, which I'm not really familiar with at all. I just know that they consider themselves to be Christian. Is there anyone out there who feels compelled to start to separate in what would be...

Hey The translation to the word "Hell" instead of Hades is misleading, not in the translation, but in the meaning of the word 'Hell' and the evolution in that meaning from the sixteenth century to now. The KJV translators didn't mean 'Hell' as we know it today. In meaning, Hell to them was...

Hey @Dave G The links provided in the OP addressed those things already already. Remember, Jesus told the thief on the cross next to Him that *today* he would be with Him in Paradise, not Hell. Start with the first link, "2)". The second link may help also. I'll get back and try to...

Did you know that Mennonites are anabaptist? So are Amish, for that matter. My family, at least partially comes from Pennsylvania Germans, who were also known as Pennsylvania Dutch. Maybe they were Amish. Anyways, spiritual warfare is a battle for the mind. Satan likes to use death by a...

Bright There is context to consider. If we interpret every passage on an island, then we must also conclude that Peter was not saved, since he denied Jesus three times and Jesus said that anyone who denies Him before man, He will deny that person before the Father. And we must also conclude...

Hi Wesley It's a fair question or point from cjab because so many people have different ideas of what free will actually is. I always like to start with the question: What are you claiming to be free from? Your definition is the right one, I agree. Though that freedom is the result of believing...

Hi Alan The Holy Spirit made me born again when He was placed into me by Jesus in response to my faith. Nope, it's all from Jesus. The atonement, the righteousness imputed to me. Being freed from the bondage of sin, born again. :rolleyes: Romans 10:8-But what does it say? "The word is...

That passage is not speaking of the Gospel, but rather it's speaking of the deeper truths of Scripture. You're going beyond the text with your interpretation.

Agreed. When does that life begin? Answer above in my previous posts. Agreed. It is by faith that we enter into this grace. Romans 5:1. Ephes. 2:8 says the same thing. It's all a gift from being placed into Christ, by the indwelling of the Holy spirit. It's a placing into, immersion...

That's why we are called temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:19) Also see John 14:15-17, Ez. 36:26-27, Eph 1:13. In the previous post, Romans 8:9-11 applies. along with Galatians 3:2-3.

Hi Alan Eternal life begins when we are born again. Which begins when we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. You see, you said it yourself. :rolleyes: Now we only need ask when do we receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? Because we know that with the Spirit we are His, and have...
