    Acts 2:34

    Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Clearly, there are two Lords in this verse. I am tired of pointing this verse out. What is the specific identity of "The Lord"? What is the specific identity of...

    Jesus Christ chose to do the will of God instead of his own will.

    Jesus Christ, the son of God, obeyed his Father and God. He chose to do not his own will but the will of the Father, the one who sent him. Jesus Christ willfully chose to do God’s will instead of his own will, he submitted himself to do the Father’s will. He chose for himself what he would do...

    Is Jesus Christ the way to the Father to Israel only?

    Based on the responses to the thread I started that was closed by Sherman, there are folk here who believe that everything Jesus said in the gospels pertain to lost sheep of the house of Israel only. They use Matthew 15:24 as their reason to do so. That puts them into some very awkward...

    What is holding us back?

    John 14:12 did Jesus Christ say that those that believe on him would do the same works that he and greater works? Yes, he did. So why are not Christians doing that? It is because Christians who are not doing the same works and greater works are not believing. Why not? Why are we not one...

    Paul taught about the grace of God, but Jesus Christ did not.

    Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:16 And of his...

    HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE

    I do not see "reprogamming" as gospel. but we are are exhorted to renew our minds. Romans 12:1-3.... Until you recognize the gospels as a work in progress and the Paul's epistles as the result of JC's work, you will not understand God's progression of doctrine

    HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE

    Dying means that they are dead, not alive. When we are are absent from the body and present with the lord means we have been gathered together as I Thessalonians 4:13-17 speaks of That is clear that that until Christ returns we are not with the lord but dead

    You don't get to heaven why you die. No one does. You get to heaven when the lord Jesus Christ comes back as described in I Thessalonians 4:13-17 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14...

    The earth is flat and we never went to the moon--Part II

    The Bible does not say that the earth is flat. In fact it shows evidence tot the contrary, that it is indeed spherical. Likewise, just because you might think you see a flat horizon, doesn't mean that you actually see the slight curvature of the earth. Your vision is not acute enough. You...
