The key to understanding the crucifixion week is Jn 12:1 where we are told this; Joh 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. We will see that this day is Sunday and from here we can count the days and...

All saints of OT times went to paradise justified but not cleared of their sins. Two things happen when the blood of Christ was shed > will quote two verses telling us what they are. 1. 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the...

I would not be guilty of accusing you of not understanding that salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and it is available to everyone who hears and believes it. You do have a problem understanding that the Bible has structure and division that...

The typology of scripture must be reconciled to actual fulfilment of the types and figures. In the case of the day of the crucifixion and death of our saviour this is extremely important and instructive. The six hours on the cross represents the first 6 thousand years of human history. If you...

Maybe. What is important to understand is what Jn 6 44-45 is saying and to whom. Jesus is teaching Israel what the manna metaphor of the OT means. It means the manna represents him and he must dwell in them if they have eternal life. Most of the people in that audience who heard Jesus speak were...

Let's trust that God will save sinners now by the foolishness of preaching. This is the what he has chosen. It is not about God drawing them, It is about them believing the gospel. God says the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. whether he draws them or not. He says he will save anyone...

I don't think you get it. None of those verses has God drawing anyone. I would not have posted my comments if they did. I know all those verses is in the Scriptures. You are just posting verses because they have the word "draw" in them. Why don't you try to see the point? The context of the...

I am looking at context and circumstance where the word is used and notice there is not a body of doctrine outside that context. I formulate opinions from the words God uses. Why am I wrong in your opinion?

Okay, you have a doctrine called "draw." Tell me about it. Where am I going to study this? How does he draw? How & who is he drawing when he actually uses the word? Why isn't this word used in the epistles where we usually find the explanation of our faith?

They were called proselytes and for a gentile to be included in the covenants of Israel one must commit and submit to the ceremonial laws of Israel and live as a Jew. There remained restrictions. However, these proselytes were individuals, not communities. and represented a few as opposed to...

A careful reading of John 6 will show that The Father was drawing those Jews to Jesus through his OT scriptures with it's prophecies and metaphors.. This is the witness of God to the sons. He actually gave 4 witnesses in the gospel. Take a look. Jn 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my...

This doesn't make any sense. What I said is true. No person who was not a follower of Christ saw the resurrected Jesus during the 40 days time period between his resurrection and ascension. Even the Roman guards at his resurrection tomb were rendered unconscious. In the end of the sabbath...

I wanted to respond to a couple comments on this previously closed thread because the subject comes from maybe one of the most abused and misunderstood passages of scripture in the whole Bible, so i started this second thread. Silverhair responded to my post #148 This is not the Father...

I know what you teach. I have read it for years.

The dynamics of "drawing" is completely different in the gospel accounts of Jesus Christ and his ministry, which is before his blood sacrifice of himself on the cross, than the "drawing" during the post resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The difference is the non existence of any...

The difference between Calvinists and others is their teaching that only a very small predetermined group will ever have the capacity to believe this, thus requiring it to be a post salvation requirement as defined by the very unscriptural DoG, whereas a fundamentalist of my stripe would say...

Angels and born again men have Life. The Spirit of God is life. Angels and men are gods when they disobey God. Sin brings forth death, which is separation from Life. This is what we are told in the scriptures. This is my logic. This is my last post on the subject to you.

I am sure I do not understand your reasoning in this post. It seems that you do not accept that the scriptures is one continuous revelation of God concerning his redemption story and the characters are identified and explained and many of them appear throughout history. We recognize them by...

Let me help you in your thinking some here. If you approach the text already knowing what you think about it, it will not be able to teach you anything. You must draw your doctrine from the words and the context. First, we know that Job is a historical man. Job 1:1 There was a man in the...

The Translators of the KJV thought the word was son. I want a sure Christian faith so I only accept one English translation to teach me and I do not doubt it in any way. Some tell me that it is a fault, but I say I am never guessing. If we all were taught by the same words there would be much...
