What does John 1:29 mean to you?

[Lost Witness]

19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I Experienced this just a few months ago.
He does replace the heart with one that's "clean"

I believe the Church began at Pentecost

The one olive tree of God's people, the "called-out assembly" in the wilderness (ekklesia, Ac 7:38), began at Abraham, and the ekklesia (church) continues in the NT, where unbelieving Israel has been cut off and believing Gentiles grafted in (Ro 11:17).

Israel's destiny is to be grafted back into the one olive tree of God's people, the Church, IF (not "when") they do not persist in unbelief (Ro 11:23).

 

[Clare73]

And works- Just like Abraham

In my Bible, Abraham was saved/justified by faith, with the specific exclusion of faith's works as being the effecting agent of his justification (Ge 15:6, Ro 4:2-3, Eph 2:8-9)

 

[Clare73]

How was it fulfilled and what was this promise?

Well, there is the promise of seed (to Christ, Gal 3:16) in Ge 15:5, fulfilled in the body of Christ, in which all are born again of Christ's Holy Spirit (2Co 3:16-18).

 

[Clare73]

Yes, but there are different levels.

Is not all sin unrighteousness, which condemns (Ro 3:10, Ro 3:19-20)?

 

[Clare73]

That's what I've been talking about, the ability to freely choose to stop following your own will and follow God's will instead. We are human, we fail but we can still continue to make that choice.

The man without the Spirit freely does not choose the things of God because they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them (1Co 2:14).

Israel is not the church.

 

[Mark Quayle]

There's a lot of things we talk about that aren't in the bible in so many words, for example, the word 'Bible' it just means book, We should refer to it as the scriptures, or writings.

Anyway take this into consideration this is what the Messiah says:

John 7:17​

Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.


So if someone can choose, or make a choice to do God's will that means they also have a will. The free will is the ability to 'choose'. It goes all the way back to the garden. Reiterated in Deut. 30:19

I don't think anyone (well, not very many) claim we don't have a will or even that we don't have choice. The question is whether choice is caused or purely free of influence. Notice you jump from "will" to "free will", and when you say "free will is the ability to 'choose'" you don't mention whether the choosing is caused or not.

 

[Mark Quayle]

Israel is not the church.

Not all who are of Israel are Israel.

 

[Clare73]

Israel is not the church.

Of course unbelieving Israel is not the people of God, the church.
No unbeliever is in the people of God.

However, the one tree of God's people, "the ekklesia (assembly, church) in the wilderness" (Ac 7:38), goes all the way back to Abraham, and it is Israel's destiny to be grafted back into the one tree of Gods people, the church, IF (not "when") they do not persist in unbelief (Ro 11:23).

You reformed people can have your beliefs, i want nothing to do with them.

Do you think that's a Biblically well-reasoned argument showing the Biblical error of "reformed people"?
You have simply demonstrated that they are not in Biblical error and, therefore, it is the teaching of Scripture that you actually want nothing to do with.

 

[Mark Quayle]

I don't really expect that you disagree with Romans 9:6 ! A loose translation, somewhat expository, the NLT, says, "Well then, has God failed to fulfill his promise to Israel? No, for not all who are born into the nation of Israel are truly members of God’s people!"

It is simple i do not agree with reformed theology and their interpretations.

Your opinion does not matter.

 

[Clare73]

Your opinion does not matter.

It's not just an opinion until you Biblically demonstrate its error.

What does John 1:29 mean to you?​

​

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Gone off the rails from original intent of OP ... just another example of mans post-modern theological Christianity.

1 John 2:27​

But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you.​

But as His anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in Him.​

Which one of the above posters can say with certainity (like Paul) that his/her posts are because of a Spiritual anointing and not influenced by post-modern Christian/Judaic theological doctrines ?

Dogmatic theology, also called dogmatics, is the part of theology dealing with the theoretical truths of faith concerning God and God's works. Such as the official theology recognized by an organized Church body, such as the Roman Catholic Church, Dutch Reformed Church, etc, etc, etc.​

Interesting read, you should start a thread about this, I'm sure many would be relieved to read about that.

I do not start threads, but if you want a link to the website of the author.- Messianic Jewish Ministry Bible Teachings | Ariel Ministries

Are you serious, or is this sarcasm?
