What 1 Cor 2:14 really says, before the demons of Satan perverted it. "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Cor 2:14 The "natural man" has no access to the...

I'm generally in agreement with this. Good sound advice. (y) I would say that calling Jesus the lamb of God carries a greater significance than a mother calling her child "my little lamb". I think that is the case here with Israel being referred to as sheep, in comparison to Paul's intent.

"I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners." - Jesus There is no "joy" on the part of anyone who is already fully aware of a mandate they created and orchestrated. There is no "joy" in the heart of any man who would manipulate and force a woman to say she loves him...

Paul quoted the verse, because it was similar to their own experience, but he was not making an all encompassing declaration to them that they are "sheep" in the same context that Israel was declared "sheep" throughout God's word.

I had assumed that you were familiar with the Bible, so I gave you an overview of the things I shared. My mistake. However, I'm not going to post every verse that corresponds to what I'm about to say. You can either review the Bible on your own, or ask someone to show you know who cares about...

Are you a bot? Are there people referred to as sheep today who don't believe in God?

No, salvation is passing from death to life. It is receiving the very life of God, by His Spirit which indwells all those who believe Him concerning His Son. The Bible is a written testimony concerning who Jesus is and what He has done. You are without excuse for not believing what it says about...

I did, a few posts back. The Bible gives several examples of death being separation. Adam was separated from the life of God. Jesus was separated from His body. Believers have been separated from sin, law, wrath, darkness, etc. Unbelievers will experience a second death, eternal separation from God.

False. When comparing Israel to sheep, it pertains to them as a nation of people. The nation of Israel is not the Body of Christ. In Romans, Paul is just making an analogy, and could have used any animal to make it. Ewe are trying to squeeze a square peg in a round hole. It's silly.

Here we know that Jesus is referencing Israel. While it is obviously true that Jesus gave His life for the whole world, there is nothing odd or wrong in Him speaking about a specific group of people. No more so than if Jesus said "I died for ewe" (pun intended).

Of course He was speaking from His humanity. Jesus was born with a brain, eyes, ears, etc., the same as every other human. What do you think identifies a person from another person? The body of Jesus was prepared for Him. In His body, He was taught by the Father and grew in wisdom. He is God in...

They are not "sheep", Paul is quoting the verse to compare their suffering to those of sheep. He is not calling them "sheep". The only group of people being called "sheep" were Israel. Paul is making an analogy that reflects their suffering by quoting the verse.

It is blatantly obvious that Paul is saying that the Body of Christ are not sheep for slaughter, and that they are more than conquerors, because nothing can separate them from God. He is comparing them to sheep, not calling them sheep.

"Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things."

Jesus No, I have the correct full understanding of who Jesus is (God in the flesh), who humbled Himself, and committed Himself wholly to the will of the Father. You make His prayers a mockery and strip Him of His humanity. You need to read this post carefully...

Absolutely not, you simply lack an understanding of what it means for Jesus to be God in the flesh, and it's morons like you that create morons like Hilltrot.

No, He is really God but chose to only know those things revealed to Him from His Father in His human body. "Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he...

He only knew and understood what was revealed to Him from the Father.

I quoted the Bible, you moron. Shame you think God's word is "boloney" [sic]

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" "Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." "For all have sinned, and come short of the...
