    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    10. Tenthly, if this custom, said to be practiced before the times of John and Christ, is the rule to direct us in Christian baptism, there were several circumstances attending that, which should be observed in Christian baptism, to make it regular; 'Baptism' must be done before three...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    5. Fifthly, to say, as Dr. Lightfoot does, that Christ took baptism into His Hands as He found it, that is, as it was practised by the Jews, is greatly to derogate from the Character and Authority of Jesus Christ; and it makes Him, Who came a Teacher from God, to Teach for Doctrines the...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    "in revelation glory with the earthly glorious kingdom of Jesus Christ" has NEVER been in Jesus Christ's Mind. I haven't seen it in the Bible. There are a lot of extra-Biblical Heresies where NO VERSES AT ALL in the Scriptures to support them and this one of them, in your mind. Would you like...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    You cut the phase that you call my "honesty", but for the sake of honesty, I believe we should read and review my whole sentence, with its very specific qualifiers. Otherwise, I need to thank you for your dishonesty? Then I am saying as I continue my stance in this same sentence, the...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    What does God mean when He's Speaking someone being "The Natural Man?"

    Yes. Exactly. In one sentence, you've got it. Some don't even get it if they consider it from a whole book, or the Bible for that matter. While, the deadness of a lost sinner is an immense subject, when God is talking about the soul being 'dead', He simply Means 'dead', and He simply Says...

    The Efficient Cause of Reprobation in The Doctrine of Reprobation is God.

    After having first Sinlessly not Chosen them before they had ever done any Good or Evil, it is not sin, logically*, for God to Decree to Damnation, secondly, those who afterward were Found to be in the perpetual State of sin until the day of their death. *and 'chronologically', as it may be...

    "Deus otiosus (Latin: "inactive god"), and also known as the clockmaker theory, is the belief in a creator god who has entirely withdrawn from governing the universe after creating it or is no longer involved in its daily operation." Unlike classical theism, Deism is the belief in the existence...

    God was no respecter of persons when "the children being not yet born, neither having done any Good or Evil, that the Purpose of God According to Election might Stand...", issued out into one of them being Chosen and the other left. Actually the Bible says, "the children being not yet born...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    "One of the most difficult and detested Doctrines in the Bible is The Doctrine of Reprobation. "However, it is not appropriate for us to reject this Truth merely on account of our own reasons. "A True Preacher of God must teach the Whole Truth of God despite much opposition, because that is...

    I. The Term “Reprobation.” "The term “Reprobation” derives from the word reprobate. Reprobate means abandoned, forsaken, left behind. "I make use of the word "rejection" in this article, partly because it is a scriptural phrase and ascribed to God, and partly because it is that act of God...

    The Bible confirms in Matthew 1:21b who it is Jesus Gave Himself to Save, as in who He died for and why He died for them.

    This Divine Interpretation of such Scriptures as 2 Peter 2:1, which we are certain makes no straightforward reference to these False Prophets, or Teachers, being 'bought', with regard to anything having to do with the Salvation of their soul, must be viewed within the context of the Bible, and...
