In case you’re wondering how some religions are coping with the outbreak of COVID-19, just look to the Jehovah’s Witnesses to see how absurd reactions can get.
In a recent video featuring Governing Body member Stephen Lett, he absolutely delights in the disease because he sees it as a signal that Armageddon is imminent.
So the events unfolding around us are making clear, [more] than ever, that we’re living in the final part of the Last Days. Undoubtedly, the final part of the final part of the Last Days, shortly before the last day of the Last Days.
Fair enough. I will say that out of courtesy to you I have read and viewed many articles and videos you have linked to.
Did you follow the links to the website from which the part you linked originated?
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
This has nothing to do with Christians...We are NOT the house of Israel and this is for 'after those days'...You need to find out what 'those days' are...Words mean things in the bible...
(a) Once privately (in the clouds) FOR His Own;
(b) then again publicly, WITH His Own.
Refreshing to hear this once more, in your words!
Amen, once for His Own then at least seven years later, With His own.
Then what’s the new covenant that YOU referenced?
Used to set Oliver B. Greene afire with stirring messages on it.
It astounds me how so many people don't get this, you included...
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Does it say we no longer do any of those things??? No it doesn't...It says we trusted Jesus in spite of our sins and he washed us clean...
Is this next verse in your bible???
Rom_4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
We are not under the law so we are not under sin...So how does this work???
Rom_7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
It was Paul's will to do good but not for favor with God as you guys do...If fact, Paul couldn't do the good Jesus talks about...He wasn't capable...
Php_2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
God gives us the necessary will AND the ability to do good...
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Even tho Paul continued to sin, he was delivered from that sin...He was not under the law...
WHERE in the bible is the NEW COVENANT that you referenced?
Amen!
Paul says, be ye transformed BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. And Paul said (referring to his present condition pre-death or pre-resurrection body and soul) with the mind He affirms the law of God but with his flesh he cannot fulfill it. That is why the Grace of God does it for us. God abides in the born agains, fulfilling the character of God even in those whose flesh is corrupted. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God ... the flesh we now occupy with our life in our blood cannot live in the 'apart' to which God is about to stand us. As Jesus iterated, 'a ghost does not have flesh and bone as you see me have. He is real but is not now in the same flesh and blood of His pre-death aliveness. He is in a Glorified body abiding in the 'apart' to which He is about to stand us for the Departure.
Yep, I get a bit fired up myself!
Of course...how would we know that we need Christ if it weren't for the law showing us what we're breaking? ...Without the law how can you call anything a sin against a Holy God?..... Further there's no need for a savior if we're not sinning against Him.....Additionally since you are guilty even in the least of area of the law you're guilty of all the law so there's really no escape for anyone....and especially if you think your righteous in any of it.....because it's written all our righteousness is a filthy rags. Therefore all are under the wrath of our Holy God for their sins without Christ saving them from that.
The law is not our savior...Jesus Christ is.
You know you cannot save you and we want you to come to realie you cannot keep you saved by trying to keep the Law. The spirit of the born again cannot sin because God's Life is abiding in that newborn spirit, IRREVOCABLY. Aince you are not responsible for putting His Life in your spirit, you cannot revoke His Presence in your spirit, if you are born again by faith in Christ alone. You start putting faith in your fealty to the law which you cannot keep in your flesh and you insult the very Gospel of Grace.

Pingaling back to you, MHGinTN
Did you eat lead paint chips as a child (or adult)? How many times do I have to tell you that I obey Jesus Christ out of love for what he did for me on the cross. I am saved by Grace and because of that I follow him and that means keeping his commandments. I remain in his love by doing that. Obviously you don’t believe in doing that.
John 15:
10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
John 14:21
Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”
1 John 2:3
By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments.
1 Corinthians 7:19
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Eccl 12:
13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
MHGinTN: “Nah, all those texts are for the Jooooooooooos”
The spirit of the born again cannot sin because God’s Life is abiding in that newborn spirit, IRREVOCABLY. Since you are not responsible for putting His Life in your spirit, you cannot revoke His Presence in your spirit, if you are born again by faith in Christ alone.
Evangelist Ravi Zacharias
A prolific, lifelong Christian minister and founder of an eponymous ministry which raked in tens of millions a year has been accused of ”sexting, unwanted touching, spiritual abuse, and rape, by his own church.”
I guess what he did wasn’t sin, right? Because you said the spirit of the born again cannot sin, right?
Anyone know how Iscool is doing at finding where in the bible the new covenant is that he referenced to me? I’m getting worried that maybe he had a seizure or something.
