Judges1318 said:
The Bible interprets itself:

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh" - John 3:6

"the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh" - Galatians 4:23

"he who was born according to the flesh" - Galatians 4:29

It's okay if you don't get it at first.
Some things just take time.
Are you are a regular Bible reader?
You really won't see these kinds of revelations in scripture unless you read the Bible for yourself on a regular basis away from the narrow bias of popular teachings in the church today.

Judges1318 said:
Has the law changed?
Yes!
That's how we know the fulfillment has occurred.

You don't even have to know what exactly the fulfillment was.
We just know by the simple fact that the law has changed that the fulfillment that had to occur before the law could change has occurred. It's simple logic. But we know that anyway from Hebrews where it says a change in priesthood necessitates a change in law. The law of Moses governed worship of God according to the Levitical priesthood. But now that we have a new Priesthood the law has been changed to accommodate worship according to the Priesthood of Jesus.

@lightbearer , traffic seems pretty low here so I moved this to it's own thread so others will see it and contribute. It's off topic for this thread anyway. See you there. Looking forward to some good discussion.

I've only noticed a handful. I suppose it comes with the ultra-self-conscious personality, that I dwell too much on my own mistakes.... Oh what a relief grace is.

No, OCD, but not a perfectionist. Or at least not by my own standards (which by way of the topic of grace, are nothing compared to God's standards, and faulty to boot)

Lol.... how lovely.🙄

Don't be stinky just because you know I am right and you're intimidated by sound doctrine.


You are implying born of water DOES INDEED mean born of flesh in the context of Jesus speaking in john. I agree.


But then you say "the bible interperates itself" and try to stretch born according to the flesh from one verse to mean the same as born of flesh in another.


Think for one moment fralphart101jenscoroni.....


If you say
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

Would mean what you're implying the son of promise was NOT born of flesh im the CONTEXT Jesus spake saying: You MUST be born of water (which you agree is flesh) AND of the spirit.


It would mean he is disqualified from seeing the kingdom of God because He was not "born ACCORDING to the flesh" as abrahams first son.🤦‍♂️

No, actually what happens is the big game soils themselves when they see it's Ralph, just before he nails them right between the eyes.

First of all, fish in his fishtank aren't big game... second of course he gets them between the eyes with his shotgun... theres a lot of chances per trigger pull....

Trust me I KNOW ralph and the only time he has made someone soil themselves it was from his kitchen mishaps.
