Do you think "God's churches" support sin ? I don't. God will allow sinners to repent of sin, whatever religion they espouse. Even if they are false Christians.

Thanks for the info. The OT prophesies were for anyone who was interested in them. Many foreigners believed the OT prophesies. It shows that anyone who wants to serve God will be allowed. ? Cornelius and his household were not Jews. Neither were the Samarians Philip went to. Both events...

He did start churches. When evil arose, or was introduced, it was thwarted. Had it remained, it would have proven to be a false church. There are plenty of those.

I am not sure when he lived, right now. What was told to the Jews were prophesies that would occur at a later date. You just provided the prophesies and their fulfillments.

I already answered that in a previous post. The devil cannot infiltrate a real church. He may try, but he can't stand to be around righteous people and will leave.

Because they all walked in the flesh. Fortunately for them, they had the Law's atonements for sin, or they would all have perished. "Our" human nature was crucified with Christ. It is no longer a factor in life. "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and...

The devil can't, but he keeps trying. That is why the old messages keep being repeated. Watch out, and beware, and keep praying, and keep studying, and keep being charitable, and be careful about what you see-hear. Stay apart from the wicked. Walk as Jesus walked. Have faith. And a hundred other...

Please make it known if you are talking about OT or NT Jews. The NT Jews have all the same power over the "flesh" as the NT Gentile believers. In the OT, men were still doing the presages of what can be done in the NT. They had circumcision of the flesh, while we have a circumcision done without...

Yes, 1 John 1.

I think I did. 1 John was your scrip'...right ? Why does that seem odd ? Life in Christ is based on righteousness. When, not if, unrighteousness arises, it must be quashed. The devil won't stop trying to infiltrate the church, so defenses must be mounted. Thanks be to God. Only those who...

I thank you for going a little deeper into the thought about murder than I did. I hope Gary K caught your more in-depth post.

Not at all. If you are referring to 1 John, John is presenting juxtaposing POVs. One applies to those walking in God...the light, and the other applies to those walking in sin...darkness. I agree. If a certain behavior doesn't illustrate Christ, stop doing it. Keep praying about those things...

I agree we still have the choice of slapping Jesus in the kisser, or not, after conversion. But those who have shed the "flesh" don't ! Plus we can now choose not to commit sin and carry out that choice by the grace of God which we didn't have previously while we walked in the flesh. I agree...

He's in Ukraine, holding the northern front.

I am surprised 7djengo7 didn't correct you too.

That is a good way to look at it, as Jesus did say it is adultery to even look on a woman with lust, so it must also hold true that looking on someone with hate is murder. The heart gets everything rolling.

Not at all. "Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin." This is from Paul's narrative of his past while still in the flesh. He wasn't anymore when he wrote Romans. "For when we were in the flesh,..." (Rom 7:5) "Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the...

What scrip' do you refer to ?

I guess we both now know why we don't do stand-up comedy....;)

You know...I would like to see the context of my "I don't know if I'm right" comment.
