If the Spirit of God had not dwelled in the mortal body of Christ he would not have been God. But God cannot die, so the Spirit (who is life BTW, Ro 8:10) had to depart the body of Christ for his physical death to occur. In both cases it was a death, a departure, a separation. First he suffered...

THE GENTILE CHURCH IS THE GRACE OF GOD The gospel of Jesus Christ is the Good News that he has, through his death., burial, and resurrection, reconciled God to all men having taken away sin, the separator. The gospel of God is that God the Judge is so reconciled to all men through Christ that...

I cannot say the truth any better than this; Read it carefully and understand that honesty demands we all follow the logic. Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time (58AD) also there is a remnant (of believing Israelites) according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then is it no...

This is my view only and is not aimed at any one person particularly but I believe the Calvinistic system is one of idolatry and the system is worshipped by many instead of the true God.

Predestination is a New Testament word and context. It would have been unknown in the OT. It is not individuals that are being predestinated but the church of Jesus Christ, his body, that is predestinated. The predestination that is under consideration here is to be glorified with the same body...

We are on the same page. Ac 13:1 ¶ Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. Salvation is of the Jews. What he...

If you are asking if one can be saved by keeping the law the answer is no. My logic here is that Jesus Christ was a perfect man without sin but he was never a man who needed to be saved to attain that perfection. though he was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. He was an...

Consider this dilemma in Jerusalem, a place and time when Barnabas (who was one of the 70 elders chosen by Jesus Christ in Lk 10) would without question be present. Ac 6:1 ¶ And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the...

There were several things missing in the days of Adam that are present with us today. You were right to say there were no gentiles. That is certainly true but likewise there were no "nations." The nations were God's idea and he instituted this means of law and order in the middle of the second...

It is instructive to note that in the four gospel accounts, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, there are 89 chapters that chronicles the earthly life, beginning to ending, of Jesus Christ. Of those 89 chapters exactly one third of them, 29 chapters, are concerned with the last 8 days of the life of...

Exactly! One, such as myself should be as careful writing as he is reading and be precise in both. I will try to do better but knowing my tendencies it is likely I will make other goofs without really trying. Thanks.

Under the OT economy of God the offices that were to be held by Jesus Christ were typified by three men. They were profit, priest, and King. Those who were the types were Moses, Aaron, and David. When Jesus was on the earth he was the perfect prophet. He is at this present time on the throne of...

Would to God all would understand this. Salvation is of the Jews, Jesus said in John 4 to the Samaritan woman. Would you accept the fact that God dealt with the Jews under a different principle of divine dealing until they rejected his salvation (the Spirit) nationally in Acts 7 and this gave...

Amen, C24, I think you are right but it does cause me to ask another question. If the Jews had been getting saved and become Christians since day 1 of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, why wasn't their conversion referred to as "the grace of God?" Another way of framing the same question is why...

Thanks C24. Barnabas saw "the" grace of God. Is there a contextual reason to be more specific of what Barnabas saw?

Acts 11:22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave...

This is a juvenile argument by Mr. Lamb. It defies godly logic and reason. The passage he is quoting does not even hint that a sinner cannot understand and embrace the salvation promise of God by faith in Jesus Christ who is eternal life. This message is the heart of the gospel and it, as is...

Jesus Christ is the firstborn son of God from the dead. Compare Psa 2:7 with Acts 13:26-38. It is best to read full context and believe the words. Col 1:18 - 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning (of the church), the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he...

I agree C24. Just as no one can enter the kingdom unless they are born again, neither can they discern the spiritual content of the word of God unless they have the Spirit of God in them. One must be taught of God to think like him. This is told to us in 1 Cor 2. Consider first of all what Paul...

In Psalm 115, Jehovah says the following. 14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. The kingdom of God is...
