Thanks. The stumbling isn't the issue. The issue is what constitutes a sinful life. There are grey areas here that I consider I step over so rather than say (to myself) I don't sin, I say I do. I believe the Lord knows me so he knows where I am in regard to my relationship with Him. There I...

I'm sorry. I thought you were asking me about today not back then. What you say here is certainly true.

Thanks. (I can't find the Delete my account button hence the reason I'm still here. I have asked the administrators of the site.) This text it seems to me confirms John 3:16. That Yahweh loved (past tense) the world (His world whom He had always loved - the sons of Jacob - ie 'usward') so he...

Thanks. Actually I don't believe in sinless perfection and don't believe the Bible does either. I believe a believer can be sinless but not perfect. Perfecting comes over time but from the starting point of having no sin (against Yahweh.) If life is between -100 and +100, then when a believer...

I am going to be leaving this website shortly. It was nice for the short time I was here. Someone has taken offence to something I have said. I never aim to offend anyone so I'm very sorry that has happened. Therefore, so it doesn't happen again, I will delete my account (once I find out how to...

Where is the 'most shall be saved'?

I don't know the answer to that question. The Bible doesn't tell me. I used to believe it did. I was an evangelist for many years.

I stand by my statement that the sons of Jacob is the pivot of all scripture. Yahweh will never die. The term 'Israel' has loaded meanings. The Israel that Yahweh Elohim was God of, is not the same Israel now. (And I don't mean it is the modern church because it's not if that same church says...

I did not say I do not sin. I do which is why I know I am therefore not a member of the living Church of Christ because His church is pure. John said after a person is cleansed of all unrighteousness (1 John 1), then he cannot sin again (1 John 3.) Despite my position out of His church, I...

Thanks. That's interesting.

You have a strange way of discussing biblical texts Jesse.

Please cross-reference every mention of erets in the Old Testament (and it's Greek equivalent in the NT) and you will see why I have concluded this.

Hi Jerry. I believe in an old Planet Earth and a young Land which Elohim created in Genesis 1:1. The Land he created would have been roughly the land between the Nile in Egypt and the Euphrates in Iraq - the same land that he later gave to Abraham.

Paul is describing the state of a sinner and what happens. He is not describing his own current state. A true believer does not sin. The apostle John tells us that. Once a sinner has applied 1 John 1:9 (quoted above) that is it. The sinner is no longer a sinner but clean. The new cleansed...

Hi Bob. Thanks for the background. I am not a linguist and have never studied Hebrew or Greek. I simply use Strong's concordance to see what the words are. In Strong's for example Gen 1:28 it says (and I can't type it exactly because I don't have the keys on my laptop) "'Elohiym bara adam."...

Hi Jesse. Moses wrote down the 5 books of the Torah (which included events that happened before Jacob existed) but because he was writing for the sons of Jacob, in that sense everything was related to them. I am not a biblical language expert either. I did not study Hebrew or Greek. I use...

Do you have a New Testament text for that I can look at?
