Could we ameliorate some of the carbon "pollution" by flying jets through the cloud with sticky tape trailing from the wings? Or maybe really strong vacuum cleaners?

The KJV of the bible leaves out the "only" from Eph 4:5. Good thing too, as I know of at least 5 baptisms spoken of in the bible. Heb 6 speaks of baptism in the plural too. Paul mentions two NT baptisms in Acts 19. Three if you count John's baptism unto repentance from sin If I really wanted...

Do you think Jesus is still a Jewish, male, human being? Is Jesus still without His glorified body? No, so He is a new creature with a glorified body now. Not the unbelievers, for sure. But for the believing Jews...Yes. Amen. Why? I was of a worldly nation when I was an American. I have a...

Post 25, where you said baptism's effects were only figurative and not physical. Granted, given, why quibble about words? Yes it is. Has your version of baptism, (figurative only), allowed you to be freed from sin? Did it crucify your flesh with the affections and lusts? (Gal 5:24) Water...

Paul is referring to the baptism of the Holy Spirit in that verse, a baptism done by God. The baptism he is not mentioning is the one done in obedience to Jesus, in His name for the remission of sins, and is done by man. (Acts 2:38) Nope, God's gift of the Holy Ghost is not with water. But...

He was a Jewish, male, human being. He is now a new creature, and so are all those believers in Him. Thanks be to God. Sure. But wait...Jesus isn't a Jew anymore, as you alluded to above ! His words apply to all who are no longer of a worldly nation. That would be the body of Christ, as...

You have only suggested that the means of obtaining that salvation isn't real. Some promises have yet to be granted. But others, like rebirth from God's seed, have already been granted. That is achieved by first dying and being buried with Jesus, then being raised with Christ to walk in newness...

And all this time I thought Jesus was a Jew ! And that we in Him have been afforded all that was promised to Him. Like eternal life, (John 3:15), and freedom from fear of our enemies. (Luke 1:71,74) And freedom from bondage. (John 8:32-34)

If you wish to use that kind of logic, then the saving ark was also only a "figure". ("like figure") However, knowing the ark was real, we can be assured that our salvation by the good conscience towards God we have after our baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins is...

Amen to that ! Jew and Gentile believers are all one in Christ Jesus. The promises to the Jewish believers are also to the Gentile believers now. Thanks be to God !

I will continue to celebrate my unity/oneness with Jesus Christ, and rejoice in the hopes of the promises given to the the faithful...both Jew and Gentile. Those hopes keep me walking in the light !

It happened when I was "immersed" into Him and into His death and burial. (Rom 6:3-6) If I wasn't buried with Him then I also wasn't raised with Him to walk in newness of life. But the life I walk since my repentance from sin and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my past...

Not at all. Though they who have been crucified with Christ, and buried with Christ, have also been raised from His grave with Christ, (Rom 6:3-6), the final resurrection is still a ways off. This vessel now walks in newness of life, having been quickened by the Holy Spirit. (Col 2:13) It is no...

The point was that it was not "mine". We are indeed physically dead with Christ, in fact, destroyed. (Rom 6:6) Without that being a fact, it is impossible to live without sinning. I am a new creature now, physically and spiritually. What died at it's "immersion" into Christ's death and buried...

The vessel used by the Holy Spirit as the temple of God is not in heaven right now. It is written..."What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" (1 Cor 6:19) Technically, as the temple isn't "mine", your...

Or, the word of God may indeed be true ! Jesus prayed that He and we may be one. It is written..."That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." (John 17:21) And..."I in them, and thou in...

Sometimes.

Though I am glad she is free, I hope the experience has brought home the old saying..."Dope is for dopes"! I also hope she did some praying while over in Russia.

Christ in me is doing the typing. (Gal 2:20) Thanks be to God, He also keeps me from looking at porn or stealing from work !

Thanks for the scriptures. Especially Eph 2:6, which makes my case. Here is another one..."I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in 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...
