    genesis 17:13

    By definition, covenant means , "to cut". It also is a contract between two parties. The shedding of blood signifies the signature or sealing of the contract and by inferrence the penalty for breaking covenant. That covenant was by letter of the law, the new covenant is a covenant by adoption...

    the commom thread

    I realize my contentions are non-conventional, but that doesn't mean they don't warrant consideration and can still be true. I ask your forebearance. What could possibly be the link between the conception of Jesus in Luke chpt 1 and the "this rock" of Matt chpt 16:18? They are both a gender...

    Need Help!!!

    It's in the book of Jeremiah; Call upon me, I will answer and I will show you great and mighty things that you know not. Memory quote, (mine)

    Psalm 115

    Specifically verses 2 thru 7. Isn't God doing a comparison to Himself and the idol? iow, God is a person, He sees, he hears, he smells and feels. He even must have a heart. Just a reminder that God isn't a concept, He's alive forevermore! :clap:

    Faith and Baptism

    Maybe the best approach is to obey the unction of the Holy Spirit. If one has the opportunity to be water baptized, I think one should. Can a person be saved outside of water baptism, of course? Scripture says yes; 1 John 5:16, It's an intercessory invocation for a lost one. God sees...

    Peter's Daystar?

    Well, I've cooled off. your opening remark was name calling , your assumptions were misinterpretations and I'm not stupid. In the process of applying your faith to His promises, it involves a work of righteousness. Can I prove you wrong? Probably not, but scripture can; Jas 2:21-24 iow...

    Peter's Daystar?

    Sometimes love requires correction ( an open rebuke is better than secret love) The importance of the message is paramount. Is salvation a decision or an event? Isn't the process of salvation going from one event to the next? Faith is not passive, never has been or will be. History...

    Peter's Daystar?

    Sigh! Way off base; and cynical I'd sooner listen to a jackass bray in a tin barn. Clearly an episode of intellectual diarhea. I'll put you on my ignore list. awful hateful for a supposed, "christian"

    Faith and Baptism

    Flesh birthing flesh is simply disscribe the law of genesis. A natural process of creation. I don't think Nicodemus was unaware of ritual bathing in context of the law. I don't know enough about the history of it. Simply put water immersion was about being clean before one entered the...

    Peter's Daystar?

    Exactly, the daystar event is the salvation event. Consider this; an old man about to die wants to leave behind what he knows as a matter of experience, not reason. Peter is discribing two historical events in his life, the latter can only be matt 16:18 It takes a bit of meditation to...

    I am tired of the bait.

    What you're speaking about isn't just true of this forum , it's true for all churches as well, ( because they are man made.) the majority of christians that say they christians are not. So the 1st thing we learn is seek preemminence and fault others peformance oriented acceptance. If...

    Faith and Baptism

    My point is that w/o the hearing of the law ther is no conviction, (A gift of God in itself) no conviction no repentance by faith we are water baptized Acts 10: 48 affirms this. Can we forbid water? Water baptism after Spirit baptism/ It couldn't be clearer! They'd already been spirit...

    Peter's Daystar?

    I really appreciate your response, I want to assure you, it's my prayer God will open your understanding of what I'm about to explain. YOU'RE SOOO CLOSE; Peter is dicussing two supernatural events; the 1st is the transfiguration, Matt 17. the 2nd is the conversion process ie; the daystar...
