Bless God , I used to type the Word. Then I discovered how to use this I pad.

Christ taught many things that he wants us to obey, the apostles were instructed by the Lord to teach us to observe the things he commanded. You have no basis in which to rebuke His teaching as legalistic. He teaches us how not to be legalistic. Do you understand what he teaches us?


I was not rebuking Christ teaching, if you must know I was commenting on yours,
You confirmed my statement by saying ( He teaches us how not to be legalistic) go back and read my post again, you will find on your last statement we are in agreement.

Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

o_2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Joh 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
Joh 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Joh_6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

1Co_14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

Joh_14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Mat_7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Simply put, thank you for staying on topic, while myself and others wonder into old but new frontiers.
One thought on your statement the is always at the bottom of you post.
Quote:
Saying the body we receive after physical death is a renewed or ultimately healed body is incorrect, to the point of absurdity; equal to having a 1990 banged up Chevy, then receiving a 2011 Cadillac and telling people it's your Chevy after it was repaired.)

I certainly hope this is jest, I would not want this aging balding, body to be a eye sore there.

My apologies. I misunderstood. Thank you.

Wearied soul : this is taking us back to the original quote on Romans 8:1 your quote :Joh_14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. )


I think we are in agreement on the Word, and I will agree with that.
Goodnight God bless.

Thanks again. God bless you as well.

Better question:

IS there such a thing as a "Generational Curse" to begin with, or is it all "Religious superstition"??

Other than biological, couldn't see how if your saved.
He put everything named under his feet.
Christ bore the curse for us. But there are things that run in family's illness passed down.
In the Old Testament Elijah's servants family was cursed as well.

im under the impression that all flesh is cursed.

The flesh in the Bible is referring , to you carnal desires or fleshly thoughts.
A thought has no physical substance.

Not all the time. But the question may not fit the discussion anyway, generational curses are on topic.

2 Kings 5:27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.


This was a instant curse, due to disobedience in the old Testament.
So now we have to explore The New Testament, to find another example.

Acts 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
OK this is New Testament we have a man dieing because of a act of deception, and breaking a vow.
Then shortly after his wife dies as well. Although his wife partook in the offence.
The third is example of Gods wrath when king Herod exulted himself above God.
I do not consider these examples as generational curses , but they speak the same language as to disobedience before God as in 2nd Kings. Some things are not clear as to change from old to new
There is no reference I can find to having multiple wives from old to new. Paul's criteria for Pastors and Deacons, states the husband of one wife, and this is much debated whether he meant divorce or multiple.
One thing we do know generational curses did exist at one time.
Personaly I believe Christ bore all on the cross, and they do not exist.
With the wives well that could be another thread.

I believe that it needs to be clarified : bore on the Cross for all whether they believe in Him or not? What is your take on this?
My belief is that such curses still exist (even from Adam) except if you acknowledge that Christ became those curses. By that I also mean that Christians could affected as they are concerning sickness and disease.

So as pointed out there are no longer any sick Christians based on the above statement.
Or is it that we do not accept that we are healed by His stripes, and so generational curses could still apply under the same rules. We do not accept they were dealt with .

sin - sickness - separation from GOD - eternal death - curses - poverty - oppression - etc - were ALL dealt with by JESUS on the CROSS - for ANY who are IN CHRIST -

there are 2 kingdoms here on earth NOW -

#2. the kingdom of the world - whose god is satan/the devil - if you are in his kingdom you get all that he has to offer - you are born into his kingdom as a baby human - but can be born-again as a spiritual baby and change your citizenship to.....

#1. the KINGDOM OF GOD - where JESUS the only begotten SON OF GOD is the SAVIOR / mediator / high priest between GOD the FATHER and ALL who are IN CHRIST - you get all HE has to offer - high value things that HE paid a very dear price to buy for you - new and better promises than the OT GOD-lovers had - theirs were excellent promises - but ours are MORE EXCELLENT and ETERNAL -

if you are IN CHRIST - you belong to the KINGDOM of GOD - to find out the rules and benefits (promises and conditions) of HIS KINGDOM you need to listen to the HOLY SPIRIT as HE helps you to search - study - understand - GOD'S WORD - and apply all the steps to take home for yourself what JESUS paid such a high price to PURCHASE for WHO-SO-EVER-WILL -

for those who are IN CHRIST there is no curse that can prevail - if you see one come at you you are allowed to SUCCESSFULLY resist/rebuke it in HIS name - (same with sickness - trouble - sin- temptation - danger - etc) - otherwise you thank HIM that HIS WORD is true that JESUS became a curse FOR us -

if you want blessed ground / crops like isaac you can have it IN CHRIST -

if you want a healed body/mind you can IN CHRIST -

everything you need is IN CHRIST and described in HIS WORD and made understandable to you by HIS HOLY SPIRIT -

ignore/disbelieve CHRIST - HIS WORD - or - HIS HOLY SPIRIT - and you will miss what COULD be yours today - because JESUS paid for it for you 2000+ years ago -

it is religious superstition to explain man's failure to take home what JESUS fully paid for on the cross -

it is a man-made teaching that contradicts GOD'S WORD on CHRIST redeeming us from the curse by being made a curse for us -
