Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father.

Lazarus is symbolic of the Gentiles who were not allowed to go beyond the Court of the Gentiles through the gate, or barrier, that separated them from the House of Judah. Even though they were considered proselytes they were still viewed as 'dogs' begging for crumbs/alms at the table of Judah...

I have loved reading through this thread! And I agree that Paul was commissioned by our Lord to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. The Lord said He came ONLY to the House of Israel. He gave the gospel of grace and the mystery of the gospel to the Gentiles ~specifically~ to Paul. To fight against...

From what I can remember the rock was symbolic of Christ and here we have Moses hitting out at Christ in anger. That's my understanding of it now anyway. A lot of us hit out at Christ in anger but Moses was considered a more severe case because of his great responsibility. Not that that means...

I always thought the 'book was symbolic of Christ Himself. If your name is not in the book, then it's not 'in' Christ.

I'm hearing you, InSpiritInTruth! :clap: And totally agree.

Then we must look at what the Lake of Fire really is. If Paul was given the full revelation of the mystery of God and that mystery said that death will eventually be abolished then what is this lake of fire and brimstone where whatever happens, happens 'forever and ever'? Revelation is not...

The Lake of Fire does end. It is also called the Second Death and in this verse we are told that when all is handed to the Father death will be abolished: 1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. The Mark 9:44 is not meant to be taken literally.

You have misunderstood me like another poster did. Act_16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. Belief here is not enough? I wasn't talking about flying :o, I was pointing out that if you believe you are filled with the Spirit then you...

Are you looking for an outward manifestation?

Good on you mate! :o .... twisting the meaning of what I said.

It's by faith. You believe you have Holy Spirit... so you do!

Was your first real church experience in a fundy church? Not sure if you could say the Salvation Army are fundamentalist.. but they can be very legalistic. From there I've been in charismatic and pentecostal denoms. Did you get saved based on a fear of being tortured? No, I got saved at home...

I personally believe this passage is showing the very end of everything.. when God becomes all in all. Here is the New Revised Version of that passage: 24Then comes the end,* when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power...
