In Heb 3; I learned that disobedience is due to insufficient faith.

Is 28: 9, 10 KJV "Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk and drown from the breasts. For precept must6 be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." Heb 5...

Gal 2: 20. I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives within me and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Gal 5: 24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the...

Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. If he soweth to the flesh, he shall from the flesh reap corruption. And if he soweth to the Spirit, he shall from the Spirit, reap life everlasting. Sin has three effects upon a person. Spiritual sins require...

True; we, the gentiles, are the wild olive branches grafted into the cultivated root and trunk of Israel.

I just quoted that verse which is Mt 3.

I only speculate that it was for martyrs who yet to have been baptized by water, but yikes at Jesus not being risen! No, it seems to be an actual practice no matter what their reason was for it. I was trying to show the social component to water baptism among the early church. Which I hoped...

Rom 8: 29 KJV "For whom he did foreknew, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn of many brethren." This tells us that a group are predestinated to be made into Christ's image. It doesn't say when. I suspect that it will not be until...

Not at all. Its just that the Holy Spirit uses scripture to lead each of us who are of the faith, closer to the Lord and into all truth.

When John refused to baptize Jesus, in Mt 3: 15 KJV "Jesus answered saying unto him, Suffer it to be so now, for thus it becommeth us to fulfill all righteousness."

Jesus lived a perfect life under the OT law and kept the spirit of the new covenant in all that he did. When Jesus went to John the Baptist to be baptized of him in water, it was not to fulfil the requirement of the OT law, nor because he needed repentance, but rather: it was as an example for...

Election is truth, its just not unconditional. That election is seen in the Holy Spirit's working with the faithful to minister the gospel to the world. When a member of the body of Christ who is sharing the gospel via the word of God to the lost; and that lost person who hears is convicted of...

Why stop there? What about the total depravity of man, or limited atonement, or irresistible grace, or perseverance of the saints? The perfect package of beliefs for newborn believers to ignore their faith and their relationship with the Lord. Perfect for the last days, sadly, because "except...

We're told how Cain was cursed to be a fugitive and a vagabond and the Land would no longer give him its strength, and the Lord marked him so that others would know not to harm him because of it. Cain sacrificed his crops to the Lord, as he probably didn't want to get a sacrifice from his...

If election were unconditional, then the scripture would say that all who are called are chosen, but it doesn't, Scripture tells us, that "many are called, but few are chosen." This is because one must respond to the Lord's call in repentance with a godly sorrow and belief in the word of the...

The Lord does not give understanding to those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Understanding doctrines and knowledge is reserved for those who have applied themselves to the word of righteousness. Choose your teacher well: in Lu 6: 40 we see that, "The disciple is not above his master...

Hey Cameron143... After Jesus was resurrected; and unbeknown to them, he walked with two of his disciples on the way to Emmaus and asked them what they were talking about and they explained current events to Jesus. Then, in Lu 24: 25-27 KJV "Then he said unto them, O fools and slow of heart to...

Hey Grace911... Numerology is too obscure for me. We only know in part and must discern the truth by reading through a dark glass, as it were. It doesn't seem worth the effort since 666 is also the number of a man too. It does make me think that we're finite beings while the Lord is infinite...

Heb 3 makes this point very clearly, especially towards the end of the chapter.

I don't think that their faith was that specific. They believed that God would one day send the Messiah, born of a virgin, in the city of David to save them in their hour of need as promised by God.
