Wow, really STRANGE posts here
"Peter wasn't a Christian"
Hello? Didn't Jesus say Peter was the rock. The leader of His church? He did for those who don't know.
"Christianity started with Paul" Not according to my Bible.
Seems the words in red are the bottom line folks. After all this faith we call Christianity is based on Jesus, not Paul. Seems there is a bit of confusion in this forum.
Better take a moment to review 2 Peter 3:16-17. I'm very concerned for many posters on this forum. Some weird ideas out there.
God Bless
Hi there was this post SO boldly on the forum ,, i just had to come by and wow ! and why? Hello ??
and knowing ''how its worded '' says much , Jesus warns be careful ''HOW '' you hear and peters new name by the Lord is cephas [stone , pebble ] but to me the Lord is asking **them all** here and Simon hearing , son of Barjona [same as son of the dove or spirit Jonas] 3 days in the heart of the earth will the Lord be working ]and peter [new name the Lord names not man ] answered openly first , by HOLY SPIRIT as the FATHER REVEALED THIS ,,HIS WORK IN him ... not flesh and blood it does not inherit the Kingdom of God
but by ** this revelation **[revealing Christ ] testimony
and makes what Paul says here sooo true ,,,,
1Cr 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand,
that **no man speaking
by the Spirit of God **calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is
the Lord ,,** but**
by the HOLY GHOST.
this is how the gates of hell will not prevail against this ''ROCK solid TRUTH '' and Spiritual revelation , knowledge of the true Church .. ..
...And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
Mat 16:15 He says ** unto them,**
But whom say ye that I am? ???
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for *flesh and blood *hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Mat 16:19 And **I will give unto thee**
the keys of the kingdom of heaven***:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
and they ,, them all are witnesses ...recived this power from on High at Christs return in john 20
Then said Jesus to them again,
**Peace [be] unto you***:
as [my] Father hath *sent me*, even so *send I you*.
Jhn 20:22 And when he had said this,
HE
breathed on [
them], and saith unto
them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Whose soever sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain,
they are retained.
the binding and loosing on earth and heaven By the power of the gospel ......
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,** by the word of God**, which liveth and abideth for ever.
For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And
this
** is the word** which by the
gospel(,good news) .. is preached unto you.
Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the
gospel.
born again baptisms , by washing of the water of the Word [fruits of repentance confessing Christ ] and by Holy Spirit and Fire .. [fruits of righteousness by faith in Jesus CHRIST ]
