No doubt the Body of Christ began in the mind of God. To say otherwise claims God didn't have a plan to start with. There are zero members until Christ is resurrected. 1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (MY NOTE: Everybody dies & EVERYBODY will be...

Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. This verse clearly says; from ALL the tribes of the children of Israel/Jacob. Rev 7:5-8 confirm 12,000 x 12 tribes - 144,000 - Not...

Col 1:18 Christ is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence (MY NOTE: Jesus is PREEMINENT in ALL things within our realm. He is the 1st resurrected from the dead & Head of the Body) Jesus is...

Nehemiah6 said: No it does not. Christ took Abraham and all the OT saints with Him to the New Jerusalem on the day of resurrection. On the day of Pentecost, they all received the gift of the Holy Spirit also. Thus they became "the spirits of just men MADE PERFECT" (Hebrews 12). And they will all...

Really, please cite the verse where Abraham (already declared righteous/justified via faith) received the Holy Spirt at the Acts Pentecost.

Hard to debate a person that posts other people's ideas. Peace, JJ

Your position eliminates Abraham from the Body of Christ. Scriptures proclaims him to the father many nations (Gen 17:4) And the father of faith pertaining to the flesh (Rom 3:27-4:25) You're free to believe & promote whatever you choose, as am I. I'll leave it at, one again, we disagree...

Body of Christ begins: At Jesus resurrection, He is the firstfruit of the resurrection (1 Cor 15:20-23) & the Head of the Body (Col 1:18, Eph 1:22). Shortly after Jesus resurrection, graves were opened (Matt 27:52 -53). Many bodies of OT saints which slept arose/were resurrcted & went into...

The Corinthians epistles are written to believers. (1 Cor 1:2). Every believer has been justified & received Christ' imputed gift of righteousness (Rom 5:17-18). Placing them in a right standing with the Father, thru Faih in Christ/the Lord our righteousness. (Jer 23:5, 33:15, 1 Cor 1:30, 2...

The 1st physical/temporal old covenant Tabernacle (blueprints are given to Moses Ex chapters 25-31 & 35-40) for building the Tabernacle. It was a glimpse of the heavenly Tabernacle. Ex 25:40 See that you make them [exactly] after their pattern which was shown to you on the mountain. (Also see...

1 Tim 1: 3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, (MY NOTE: Paul is telling Timothy to challenge those that try to add anything to their gospel message) 4 Neither give heed to fables and...

Rom 8: 23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons—the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection]. 24 For in this...

I never made any such claim. God had a plan with a path long before the world was created. If man made the wrong choice. He would send His Son to the rescue. I have no idea how many will choose the right path (God knows). The path is acknowledge that God is, you have sinned against His...

Yes & I cited the salvation sealing eternally purifying Holy Spirit in post #100. The Holy Spirit. No water involved. If Jesus is (alive) talking, it's old covenant. The new covenant doesn't begin until after Jesus' death & resurrection. Gal 4: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, 4...

Water was the OT physical purification shadow of the ultimate NT Spiritual purification process to come. Seen at the 1st post Pentecost Acts 2:4 (JEWS ONLY) Then several years later Acts 10 at the Italian gentile Cornelius house Acts 10: 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost...

Gal 1:19 adds nothing to my postings. Paul chronicle: converted on the road to Damascus, then goes to Arabia (Gal 1:17) 3 years later he goes to Jerusalem (Gal 1:18-19) meets with Peter & the Lord's 1;2 brother James. Paul's chronicle continues: Onto Gal chapter 2:1 14 years """later""" Paul...

Salvation is the same for Jews and Greeks-- through faith. Abraham is the father of faith both to the circumcised and uncircumcised, according to the book of Romans-- a man about whom it is written that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. But is it appropriate for...

They weren't translating anything from the Greek there, and you do not know that the translators put in the section titles. I never claimed their titles were scripture. Having, said that every Bible we read is a translation. I simply believe the writers of those 3 Bibles are a better source...
