I do not think that describing the Godhead as a Trinity isolates believers. I think that it clarifies what Scripture speaks about the Godhead. Adam has often given many Scriptures that speak to the Godhead as a Trinity or Persons who is One in His Being. There is nothing about what Adm has said that necessarily isolates people.
The Reformers you mentioned upheld the Scriptural teaching of the Godhead being a Trinity.
I recognize that there are some who adhere to the Oneness doctrine you are speaking of, but the vast majority of Christians now and through the centuries attest to believing that the Godhead is a Trinity. I believe it was Tertullian who first use the term "Trinity".
Paul mentions often to those he is addressing in his epistles concerning holding to doctrines that were taught by the apostles. So, there is nothing wrong with speaking about doctrinal teachings that can be supported by Scripture.
I will pray for you.
I do recommend that you see a doctor and get a referral to a gastroenterologist who specializes in such ailments as yours.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
Be vigilant...EVERYBODY, because the enemy wants to defeat, and we NEED GOD's word IN US as a sword, shield, helmet, etc
!!! Please do NOT take my words lightly!!! Fear GOD!!!! And beseech Him and even if you don't, He STILL prepares us in advance for what we'll need in the future! He told me to pray 14 seconds b4 I was in a head-on collision in 2012. I walked away, to help the person whoHitMe
I say this ONLY to let the brethren be FULLY AWARE that we STILL have wolves in sheep's clothing--not merely brethren that are struggling with discernment in Biblical matters, but out right predators that disguise themselves as brothers and sisters in Christ! I speak in TRUTH!
I thank you ALL--the TRUE brethren for tlthe taking if YOUR TIME to bless, to love, and to help one of your lesser, and weaker siblings in Christ! You, and others have lifted me up! I feel strength, for now, to speak in boldly!
At least ONE of the prayers on here, even before I read their message, my spirit saw the email alert of a new essage, and I was made to believe that--before reading a THING..that it was one of Satan's. Once I read..that was what I took away from it as well.
I will NOT EVER stir up anyone against anyone else, but as brothers and sisters, we MUST be EVER VIGILANT for ourselves--not just t
Please consider reflecting on this Bible scriptures: Isaiah 41:10-13, Psalm 46:1, Psalm 139: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, John 16:33, Philippians 4:12-13, 2 Timothy 2:1.
To start:
Calvinism seems to be short sighted and unbelievable.
Comments please.
The Law was given to them ("the law of righteousness", as Paul calls it in Romans 9:31), but they failed to apprehend it "because they sought it not by faith" (v32). But the Gentiles on the other hand, "attained to righteousness" (v30), not having been given the Law, because they attained it by faith.
Had Israel found righteousness by faith (i.e. through Christ, Who ultimately was their "stumbling stone" (v33)), maybe much of what Paul wrote in Romans chapters 9 to 11, would need not be shared with the Roman believers. But what Paul did share, serves to show how Israel, who was in such a privileged blessed position, lost it; and their loss was the gain of the Gentiles. The Roman believers can now better appreciate the Gospel brought to them & the salvation received through Christ, when they know that "through their (the Jews) fall, salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy" ( Romans 11:11). To a Church that neither Paul nor Peter founded, this was an important history & spiritual lesson to the believers: why the Gospel had to be brought 'first to the Jew & then to the Greek' ( Romans 1:16), and that it is by faith alone we all stand (Jew & Gentile) & not by the "works of the law" ( Romans 9:32). From this brief explanation, I hope you can appreciate Paul's need to share this part of Jewish spiritual history in his discourse with the gentiles.
humas sacrifice was it permissible prior to Leviticus 20?
How does the stroy of Abraham and Isacc relate to Liviticus 20?
Genesis 25:23-26,
Hopefully these are helpful
Yes, the powers that be don't want Israel to wake up so they hid The Information but there is a Great Revealing taking place.
Psalms 83
1) If Paul is speaking to The actual Gentiles(non Israelites), why does he state this;
- Romans 9:3-4
- Romans 11:1
- Romans 11:25-27
The law was given to Israel but let's set that aside.
You are right in that you say, "The Commandments must be kept" Israel couldn't obtain salvation thru the keeping of the law and neither can we.
Christ came to free us from the curse of the law, that doesn't mean he did away with The Law.
In the old covenant "under the law" there was sacrifices made for sin. Those sacrifices pointed ahead to the only sacrifice that could take away sin AND regenerate the believer by the Spirit. Hebrews 10:3-10.
The old covenant had no power over the incurable heart. The new covenant humbled the sinner and pointed him in the right direction. "CHRIST" Ezekiel 36:26-27. Jeremiah 31:31-33.
The old covenant slew us and is called the ministration of death. Romans 7:5-11. 2 Corinthians 3:6-14.
The new covenant gave mercy. Why mercy? Because no one could keep the law, and no one is able to do so today. Putting ourselves in chains and grinding our teeth while restraining from sin isn't keeping the law. Galatians 2:21.
The commandments given didn't say keep the commandments as best you can.
You're breaking the law in your heart You're still a sinner. There's no sanctification. Christ came to give new birth and a new heart accompanied with mercy and grace.
The second you broke any one of them you were forever lost if there was no sacrifice that could take away sin. Hebrews 10:1-5.
It was the sacrifices that pointed to Christ that made atonement for those sins.
Israel having God in their midst with all the providence showed the world that the heart of man is incurably wicked.
The law showed that there was a need of a savior that could regenerate the believer and give a new heart and life.
The commandments are Holy and was given to a nation that was set apart to show man with God in their midst was nothing like God being "IN" them.
That's what's available today.
Read Galatians 3:10-26.
Perhaps more on this later this weekend God bless."
