    Without the general redemptton being true.

    Rom 5:8 does not use the word us in the context of the world. Us is the same context as we in the verses I gave you. It is the same as those whom the Father gave the Son. You called the verses I gave you lots of words. What other verses do you have other that Rom 5:8?

    Bro 37818, how do you know your sins are covered?

    Without the general redemptton being true.

    Again I would refer you to post 18, especially 1 Jn 3:14 saying we KNOW (have assurance or confidence) we (as brethren) have passed from death unto life because we love the brethtren (one another), the body of Christ, thereby keeping his commandment. Therefore, if we keep his commandment to...

    Without the general redemptton being true.

    Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to TAKE OUT OF THEM a people (nation) for his name. Not a general redemption.

    Without the general redemptton being true.

    I may be missing the point as I sometimes do but: 1 Jn 3:14- We KNOW we have passed from death unto life (is saved, Christ paying for our sins) because WE LOVE THE BRETHREN (one another joined under the new coventant). He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. (Does not abide in...

    Believing in Christ and Calling Upon the Name of the Lord

    Acts 14:38- And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord, and as many as were ORDAINED to eternal life believed. To be ordained is to be given a charge to perform an authorized act (in this case the ability to believe) commanded by a greater authority. ...

    Are we in the kingdom?

    Consider this. Christ says in Matt 11:12, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. This the literal sometimes violent persecution of a gathered people beginning with the Jews resistance of John the Baptist and his work...

    Are we in the kingdom?

    The kingdom indeed is not meat and drink. Those things that cause a stumbling block in their misuse or OT applications are to be done away with in Christ thru the new covenant. Rom 14:17 and preceding verses are not spiritualizing away eating and drinking in the current kingdom of God as the...

    Are we in the kingdom?

    The millennial kingdom will be the restoring of the oracles of God to a kingdom that has become as Jerusalem during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah where the gates were burned and the walls were bowing out because of the violence done to her. (Matt 11:12). (Mt 13:13)

    Are we in the kingdom?

    Matt 21:43 says, "Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you (someone had to possess it AT THAT TIME for it to be taken away) AND given to a nation (body of people) bringing forth the fruit thereof. If it is not now a reality, are we still waiting for the kingdom of...

    Penal Substitution.

    No, the doctrine of transfer of sins and animal sacrifices is talking about the old covenant being the fore runner of the New covenant. It taught the righteousness of Christ and his kingdom when spiritually discerned. The spiritual seedline/remnant saw this and could therefore prophesy of...

    Penal Substitution.

    Are you saying that the Father transferring our sins to Christ or his becoming a curse for us had no effect on him before the Father? If that is true, there was no reason for the Father to forsake the Son and turn his back on him. His human nature shared our infirmity from the beginning yet...

    Penal Substitution.

    One the one hand you say you do not believe God transferred our sins from us but you do believe God laid our iniquity on Christ. Clarify how this is not the transfer of our sins to Christ?

    Penal Substitution.

    Christ was the lamb without spot or blemish, which was required for the sin offering. The sin offering was always BURNED outside the camp. The burning of the sin offering would also represent Christ going into hell to suffer for our sins and pay our sin debt so that we might not suffer that...

    Penal Substitution.

    When Christ took our sins, he took them all, including our going after the gods of the nations in the form of believing/ perverting judgment and justice by the errors of their doctrinal systems. The main point of Israel being forsaken because they went after the gods of the nations is mentioned...

    Penal Substitution.

    If Christ did not take on our sins and die for them in our stead, then why did the Father forsake him? Hab 1:13, says, "Thou are of purer eyes that to behold evil, and cast not look on iniquity..." The Father separating himself from the Son is evident in his forsaking him. This would not have...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns! II

    When you say only use NT examples, you remove great victories and teachings in Christ in the OT applicable to today. I Sam 14:6 says, And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be that the Lord will work for...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    Squire Robertsson has already referred to this verse but Luke 22:36 says, "then said he unto them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his script: and he that had no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." This new testament verse if quite clear. This is a...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    One verse. Nehemiah 4:17 says, They which builded on the wall and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, everyone with one of his hands wrought in the work and with the other hand HELD A WEAPON." Please do not confuse faith with fatalism. Did the Father that sent the brethren to...
