    Because of Adam’s transgression

    Because of Adam’s transgression, man was sealed to a vain life and there was nothing he could do about it. All that was left him were instructions by God on how to overrule it to avoid damnation. These instructions came originally from God directly but later by way of the prophets of God who...

    This is the BLOOD of the COVENANT! ... Why didn't Jesus say this ON THE CROSS???

    How does one edit?? I see no way to it on my screen. My post should read: When one partakes of the wine and bread, as prescribed, in affect, he is going to the cross. That is why the "prescribed" [mandatory] way must be observed.

    What Covenant Do You Have With God?

    Has anyone considered that the covenant relationship with God is an open covenant; a conditional one? "If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, . . . . . . " Colossians 1:23 (KJV)

    Was Jesus fully man before the incarnation?

    So did the Son of God. Huh?? Sorry that only pertains to marriage, between a man and a woman. No matter how you slice it, God never had blood to shed. It all had to be man's blood of the seed of Adam for it to cancel out Adam's transgression. Whose "He" mentioned in that verse but the...

    Was Jesus fully man before the incarnation?

    How do you arrive at that when it was the seed of the "Word of God" that was implanted in Mary, to become the "only 'begotten' of God" which makes Him His only "begotten" Son - - - otherwise how could it ever be said: God manifested Himself in human flesh?

    Was Jesus fully man before the incarnation?

    Then He must have had a Divine Mother? Otherwise, God would have had to create Him. . . . as He did the angels. And we know that is not true.

    Physical Divinity of Christ

    How 'bout if can be understood that Jesus possessed no human nature? Consider what we call our human nature, which we are dead if we are born again, is but our rotten dispositions that needs be rectified by our submission to our gifted NEW Divine Nature as Jesus "fully" possessed and gave...

    The Trinity

    How 'bout it is that Christ is the 'result' of the "seed" implanted in Mary. In this will the evidence that God only had one "only begotten Son". . . . and He didn't come into existence until He was born?

    Looking for some good Covenant Links

    Hi Reform! Place "The Two covenants" (Andrew Murray) into your search engine. It will bring up a PDF file. I don't believe you will find a better rendering of them, the old and the new, anywhere else. It is an excellent read!

    What is covenant explaination of Deut. 30:5-6?

    Hi Bucky! Compare Deut 10:16 with 30:6 to see what our part is in this that God is released to do what He promises. Also see that it has nothing to do with being born again since it is being addressed to God's people who could not have been at that time, born again.

    What if we don't PRACTICE what Jesus PREACHED?

    Christians who disobey God can't be of the elect, therefore anyone who believes the doctrine of predestination believes so, presumptuously. That is what is being said. Back to lurker mode.

    If Calvinism is true....

    Can it be assumed your sources are Calvinists which would reveal a definite leaning toward Calvin, yes? I know R.C. Sproul is.
