Re: Presence of God (From Eden through Egypt)
<t>Darin, I don't believe in the original sin theory so my perspective is different. Being " with" them is the same thing as presence and relationship to me.<br/> God doesn't live in a church building. Nor did He live in a material temple/tabernacle built by human hands, like some kind of wizard of ...

Re: Jesus is God
God is truly the beginning and the end of all things, while Christ is the beginning and the end because he is the firstborn from the dead, the Author and Finisher of faith, the Man by whom God will judge the world, and the creator of the new ages to come (see Heb. 1:10 above). God judges the world ...

Re: Presence of God (From Eden through Egypt)
So, in what "way" did God dwell or tabernacle with His people between the time Adam and Eve were barred from the Garden until the Israelites were instructed to build a Tabernacle so that he could dwell with them (and during exile)? I know Joseph said Yahweh was "with him" but "how?" Darin, God does...

Re: Bill Schlegel Videos
Yes, it is possible to “know of God,” but it is impossible to “know Him” until His Presence is “in you.” Again, the Incarnation brought Him into our midst, but it wasn't until Pentecost that mankind knew (experienced) Him (on the inside) as He needs to be known (to be known). This is the kind of kn...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. This is true. Hebrews tells us that the blood of animals sanctified the one who sinned for the cleansing of their flesh. Kind David said in Psalm 32:1 - "How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, WH...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?
Dwight - All it takes is to simply look at the CONTEXT of Isaiah chapter one, to see that God is not condemning the very practice that He Himself instituted - i.e. animal sacrifices. RATHER He is condemning the giving of animal sacrifices, WHILE, AT THE SAME TIME, BEING "WEIGHED DOWN WITH INIQUITY"...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?
To put it more simply: Today, we obey God by obeying Jesus. Remember the words of the Father when Jesus was on the mount of transfiguration - "This is My Beloved Son. LISTEN TO HIM." Jesus said it another way: "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." Dwight, Yes, but Jes...

Re: Are Sabbath Keeping and Circumcision part of The Law of Christ
I asked two simple, straightforward questions which should be easy for you to answer: Does God require, command, or direct males to have their foreskins removed and does He require Sabbath keeping, that being the seventh day of the week, in order to be saved, be in his favor, or be considered a Chr...

Re: Are Sabbath Keeping and Circumcision part of The Law of Christ
If you would truthfully answer direct questions it might set the discussion free. I've never tried to interact with anyone so evasive. Homer, I agree that we should truthfully ask and answer the questions, if they are asked in all honesty and not just as a game of cat and mouse. I'm not trying to b...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?
Dwight - I have given you specific teachings of Jesus. Now you give me SPECIFIC scriptures in the Old Testament where you will find these teachings. If you just say, "The prophets and the Psalms cover all of that." , you would be wrong. Give me the exact verses that teach the same thing, since you ...
