    How Many Heads ?

    Let's take a look at some of the biblical teachings on headship.. Why should a woman be obedient to her husband ? Isn't it because the head of every woman is the man ? Who is the head of every man ? It is Christ of course. We are renewed in our minds... and that's where headship...

    How Many Heads ?

    Yes, and I wasn't ignoring anything as you claimed. Well, isn't Jesus the hidden man of the heart according to Peter ? I agree, and WHO is OUR LIFE... is it me, or is it CHRIST in me ? The text is clear, when Christ appears, WHO IS OUR LIFE, we shall appear with Him.. and we do not yet...

    who does the saving God or man ? free will or free grace ?

    Isn't it much more simple than this... God elects all in Christ.. the Chosen One in whom He delights.. DONE.

    How to be Born Again?

    While it's always a good thing to search the scriptures, I've already found in God's word how a person is born again, in every single case... by the incorruptible word of God which lives and abides for ever... Where shall we go Lord, you have the words to eternal life.. The parable of the...

    How Many Heads ?

    I'm not ignoring what is right in front of me.. Is it ok that we might see it differently ? And I think that this is another major difference of opinion between us... because I think that being born again is having Christ born in me, the one who is the LIFE.. whereas I think that you are...

    How Many Heads ?

    nobdy, I can't see how Gal 2:20 can have anything to do with my being alive.. it says that I am crucified with Christ (aligns with buried with Him in baptism), and risen again with new life IN CHRIST, the One who IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Now it is not I, but Christ LIVETH IN ME...

    How Many Heads ?

    Dr, Also, how did Christ get in you if that didn't happen when YOU were born again ? What event in scripture do you associate with Christ coming into your life and dwelling in you in His fulness ?

    Ok, so here it is right.. 1. Jesus in His fulness dwells in you.. 2. You were reborn as an infant (spiritually) and are growing in maturity. So there's the fulness of Jesus in you.. and there's the new man in you.. right ? How many does that make in your mind.

    How Many Heads ?

    Then I apologize. Let's build on this.. Christ is in you, right.. His Spirit is within us because we have all been baptized into that one body by the same Spirit... right.. ? That's Christ in us as Paul says... just as he says that the Father is in us, just as he says that the Holy Spirit...

    How Many Heads ?

    I think that this is great advice and applicable to anyone regardless of personal beliefs. Debating topics is typically messy and people get offended at times.. I too wish that none of that mattered to a persons comments but rather just be willing to share what the Lord has blessed you with from...

    Mikey said this and you said that YOU must be born again, not Jesus being born IN YOU..

    How Many Heads ?

    I think you're right, it has nothing to do with Calvinism either, because one doesn't need to be a Calvinist to discuss the scriptural teachings of the old man and the new man... that transcends all born again Christians. We can however see a distinct difference between how a Calvinist sees a...

    How Many Heads ?

    Your comments don't even address what you stated, how that Christ is not born in you... you said that YOU had to be born again (which I believe is true), although you do not believe that being born again is having CHRIST born in you.. do you also think that it's a recreation of yourself rather...

    How to be Born Again?

    So it's scriptural and true, but hardly applicable..? It's literally how the word of God says that we are born again, by the incorruptible word of God which lives and abides for ever. It aligns perfectly with the parable of the sower and the seed... in every case it is the word of God...

    who does the saving God or man ? free will or free grace ?

    Here's why I see this as incorrect according to the scriptures.. 1. Christ is the elect of God, His chosen, in whom He delights. So the comment "He elected and predestined his elect to salvation" doesn't make much sense when we know (scripturally) that Christ is the elect. (Matt 12:18, Isaiah...

    This is what Paul writes in Eph 4... There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

    How Many Heads ?

    I think so, I didn't realize that some here either do not believe that Christ is in them, or they do not know that. If you look at the context, the very reason we have the mind of Christ is because of HIS SPIRIT within us.

    How Many Heads ?

    Mikey, you don't believe that Christ is IN YOU ? Dr just basically said the same thing. How do reconcile Paul's admonition to the Corinthian church to examine themselves... Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates ? But I trust that ye shall know...

    How Many Heads ?

    Yes, according to scripture we have Christ in us, we have the Father in us, and we have the Holy Spirit in us, and these three are one. I do believe that this is what happens in a born again Christian, even though this is within the context of Israel. I agree that it's not a recreation...
