You agree that the new man is both the church made up of Jew and Greek and that the new man also refers to the individual believer, however, I believe the new man is also referring to Christ, as...

This is probably not a very important theological concern, but I find it interesting. The NT speaks of the New Man. In some instances the New Man refers to the church made of of both Jew and Greek...

Not offended brother. Just wanted to share that just because one may have a doctrine or two that falls outside of the mainstream, doesn't mean they should be considered part of the larger camp that...

Heb. 6:2 mentions the doctrine of baptisms as foundational truth of the Doctrine of Christ.

Yes I have stated that clearly. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Father (Lord), the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit (Christ). I was just commenting about the confusion of the word Unitarian. To...

I am a little confused about the term Unitarian used with the negative connotation. I am a Unitarian, in that I do not believe that there are 3 Gods, but only one God, the Lord Jesus Christ. I...

While I will grant you that some of the Corinthians may have met one or two of the original Apostles, it is more likely that these gifts were either given by the Holy Ghost Himself, without the...

The whole Corinthian church were very active in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, proving that the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on them. In fact, Paul had to correct them concerning the misuse...

The very act of repentance and faith toward God changes their nature from sinner to saint. The old man is crucified and the new man is resurrected into new life (Rom. 6). The sinner always sins,...

I completely agree with RabbiKnife. Sinners sin. I don't expect anything more or less than evil from sinners. At one time I was very involved in Conservative Christian policy matters, especially...

None of the thoughts are random, they all apply to the promises of God. To just call them a "pearl necklace" is to minimize what the Scripture is saying. I will separate the "random" thoughts so...

The writer seems to be quoting the promise of the New Covenant with the house of Judah and the house of Israel as a present reality through the more excellent ministry of Jesus. Is the writer of...

There are parts of the Bible I don't believe, but none of it is of any relevance. For instance there are some corruptions in some portions of the Bible where it may say 50,000 chariots, when it...

(Eph 2:11) Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

(Eph 2:12) ...

But Paul says he was perfect as far as the law was concerned, yet was unsaved. A good Jew (law abiding), without Christ, is no better off than a bad Jew without Christ. The result is the same. ...

I think its an important discussion because it gets at the heart of the question: Is God a respecter of persons? (Acts 10:34; Rom. 2:11) If the Lord is racist; it gives credence to doctrines of...

If I am reading the New Testament correctly, all the promises of God belong to only one man, Jesus Christ. (2 Cor. 1:20). Paul also states the Jesus, the minister of the Circumcision, came and...

I don't think its that simple symbolism. Again, I think Abraham is far more important then Jacob as far as the promise is concerned. The tree is of faith, and Abraham is that tree, and before...

I picked number 3.

However, I am strong supporter of Israel politically. They are our ally and a democratic and decent nation in a region that is at times very indecent. I also take the side of...

I saw the references to Romans and Galatians and the argument of who Paul's audience was (Jew or non-Jewish Christian). However, in Philippians, Paul brings up this issue regarding his own...

I have been reading through the Bible in a year for many years, but not for any study reasons. It's a way to keep the instructions, stories, history fresh in my mind. The first thing I learned...

(Heb 1:7) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

If angels are spirits and a flame of fire, it would seem that physical fire would not...

I like Esther because it shows the Hand of the Lord at work throughout the book without ever mentioning Him. Its a wonderful picture of the Bride of Christ being prepared to meet the King, and then...

You have a strong argument, in light of the following chapters (9, 10 and 11); however, to say this verse "only" speaks to Jewish followers of Christ of that time doesn't ring true in light of the...

While meditating on the verse, I had some thoughts:

1) is this verse just positional or is it reality (i.e. are we already glorified?).

2) is this verse making a statement of progression? for...

The problem with this logic is that, if one believes that the apostles disappeared in the first century and we had no Bible till at least the 3rd century, does that mean there were no new churches,...

Hello Dani, I think you may have missed my point. I agree wholeheartedly with your definition of submission. But I am not asking about submission, I am asking if there is a Biblical basis for...

I guess it boils down to willingly and unwillingly. I guess the problem I have with surrender is that it intones defeat. For instance no one surrenders for duty, they report and present themselves...

Watchinginawe, if you notice all the verses you quoted are active words. Even the word yield is not what we think of in the English language. Yield is a passive word in English. For instance in...

Septuagint or Hebrew both say "Him" and "it"; and Greek NT says "them" and "He" respectively. The problem was not which OT Paul and the writer of Hebrews was reading, its that they both interpreted...
