And coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked His disciples, saying, Who do men say Me to be, the Son of Man? And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. He said to them, But who do you say I am? And Simon Peter answered...

This passage is a parable of the Son of man coming with all the holy angels to divide the “sheep” (those who are righteous) from the “goats”. The sheep are the righteous, born again believers seated at the right hand of God together with Christ and blessed by God the Father as heirs of the...

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the...

Jesus Christ was a “stumbling block” to the nation of people Israel because they rejected Him as the Messiah (Romans 11:7-10). And because of this, they were blinded to the truth so through their unbelief God would have a just reason to have mercy on the Gentiles to save them first and save...

Those God foreknew are called to salvation and predestinated to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29-30) to become “sons” of God and heirs of the Kingdom of God (Revelation 21:7). Because Jesus Christ lived under the authority of the Mosaic Law, He had to be without sin as...

Thanks Ed :thumbs: It's nice to find some warmth on the Baptist board. We're only sorry people fight and squabble to defend their interpretation of scripture more than study to learn together. I use the pronoun "we" in my posts, because I believe I am one with the Father and the Son, based...

Then perhaps my understanding of what it means to be born again is incorrect. We have shown our understanding, please share with us your understanding of what it means to be "born again". Thanks, and take care.

Please excuse me. This word "righteous" is saying, they lived a righteous life in the sight of the Lord; the way we should live life. Take care, and trust the Lord

We repent and confess our trespasses to be made alive in Christ (born again) by being reconciled to God when forgiven of all trespasses. We are not reconciled to God to be made alive in Christ, until God forigives us of all trespasses. For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to...

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death. (1 John 3:14) Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting...

There is no contradiction. In the days of Herod, both Zacharias and Elizabeth lived righteous lives before the Lord, in that they kept the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. That is not to say they had not or did not sin, but if they did, if was not the intent of their will. And they...

We have begun to explain the meaning of prophecy from Daniel and Revelation, the resurrection, the "rapture", and how we are "changed", but can we "hear" the trump of God if we are unwilling to consider what is presented. For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful...

Neither pray I for these alone, but also for them which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as You, Father, are in me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent me. And the glory which You have given me I have...

DHK says: "We died with him" These are your words, not the Bible's. These were our words, based upon: How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? (Romans 6:2b) Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? (Romans 6:3)...

Amy G. says: We do not go to sleep when our body stops breathing and our soul leaves it. The body without the soul is dead. The body rots in the ground because it is corruptible. I perceive: when those who are born of the Spirit are "released" from our earthen tabernacle (body), we "sleep in...

And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:26) .........our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, (2 Timothy 1:10) Born again believers have been raised from the dead together...

Quote: Prodigal believers are "dead" until they repent to be reconciled to God and alive. Pastor Larry says: That is a different kind of death (spiritual). But a prodigal believer (whatever that is) isn't dead spiritually. The parable of the prodigal son seen in Luke 15:11-32 is about...

Pastor Larry, you say: (1) The "dead in Christ" are those who have "fallen asleep in Jesus." It is appointed for men to die once, (Hebrews 9:27a). .........our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death.........(2 Timothy 1:10). If Jesus Christ abolished death, then how can a saved...

THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST – 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the “dead” in Christ shall rise first (1 Thessalonians 4:16). This Koine Greek word translated as “dead”...
