Mike,
Do you understand why blasphemy against Christ can be forgiven in this age, but against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven in this age?

Hi J____,
Thanks for your question. It allows me to explain how "all things" things past, present and future in Christ, are all ours. Thi... [read more]

Mike,
In scripture is Israel the elect, and Judah the called, spiritually speaking? I am wondering for when I read that I may understand more closely to what is being said. Also who would Jacob spiritually be other than the new man?
Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel ... [read more]

Most Christians, upon being elevated by God, assume that they are on their way to bigger and better things and that their calling in some way vindicates them or is in itself a surety for them.

Hi Mike,
It is interesting how your reply has spoken to other areas of Christ I have been grappling with lately. The way you live your life has no discrepancies between what you teach and the manner in which you edify. I am an immature babe, and I see now that you speak to me and others&... [read more]

The story of Jephthah is preceded and set up by a description of the lot of Israel. Yet again, they have turned from serving God to serving the gods of the nations around them. God has already delivered them repeatedly from the oppression of their neighbors, and yet they have rejected Him again. Thi... [read more]

Mike,
Nice to hear from you. I just think this guy made a valid point concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. I know about spiritual Israel. I know being in the body of Christ places me and you in the commonwealth of Israel, but just because that is true does not eliminate the disti... [read more]

Mat 15:24 I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel

Hello Mike, I always assumed that Peter had received the revelation that Jesus was the "Son of the living God"
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" The first part of my question: did Peter actually realize "You are THE Christ..."... [read more]
