You say that relates to the Old Testament? You sure?

Paul who is writing that, says "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but....".
I read the word "now" which communicates present tense. But you believe when he says now he is speaking
about the Old Testament saints of the past?

Notice, he is writing after Jesus' resurrection, correct?
Paul teaches as a saved man who explains much. He explains about the old and the new..

We no longer see through a glass darkly, for they have seen him face to face.


12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.


See here how Peter explains it:

2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

The Old Testament believers waited a long time for God to reveal Jesus to us, and in the New Testament time people prophesied about what God finally revealed to us what He wanted us to know. We have the mysteries revealed, and we have all the teachings we need to lead us to eternal life, we cannot add or subtract from the finished work, we cannot add new prophecies and knowledge to the Bible. The perfect has come.

When you only have prophesy in part (as in the Old Testament times), the prophecy has not yet been fulfilled, and more prophecy is needed, it is imperfect. However, when there is fulfillment of prophecy (as in the New Testament times), then we have full understanding; so then, it is perfect and, that which is perfect is come.


The perfect Jesus Christ came, he gave his perfect teachings about the perfect New Covenant, he gave the perfect sacrifice, and we are made perfect by his blood and obeying his perfect words.

The mysteries have already been revealed.

Ephesians 3:3-9

3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.


The Old Testament was about earthy man, and earthly things. See Romans 7:4-6.

The New Testament is about the spiritual. See John 6:63.

The Old Testament was prophecies about what was coming. See Romans 16:26.

The New Testament is prophecies fulfilled, and revelations revealed about the spiritual. See Ephesians 6:19.


The Old Testament was to the realm of the flesh. The New Testament is the realm of the Spirit.

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
 
Most definitely, Obedience is important.

You ever read these books? I've listened to both about twice for once and about 3 times for the other. Feeds me well.


and

When I was a baby Christian, I started to read many things from many different teachers, to where I couldn't hear the Spirit of God anymore.

Please consider what I am saying.

I remember being a baby Christians and enjoy reading things from Oswald Chambers, and other preachers, like Paul Washer, etc.

Listening to and reading their teachings, but not yet have the knowledge of what their doctrines were.

Now I am so knowledgeable about their false teachings that I am sensitive to even the Bible translations they have made and I don't even want to use them.
 
Let me follow this and see, what it says I am, loll.

Feel free to do the same and let me know what you arrive at.

Yikes. lol I looked but lots of writing and I'll get back to it later.

Before I go for now, check this out what I have written so far:

@Jesus_is_LORD

I have found in the Bible that there is just one scripture, if all would believe and obey, could stop false religions and false doctrine from even beginning. Thank You God, Father in heaven, for Your Powerful Word, Jesus Christ. Amen.

..................................................................

Here is one scripture that puts an end to all the denominations that say, "Jesus is not God", and "Jesus is not God the Father".

John 18:6 When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.

There are many different denominations which say Jesus is not God, and other denominations that preach the false trinity doctrine which says Jesus is not the Father.

There is only one God and He is the Father; and since Jesus is God, he must be the Father. There is not more than one I am he.

...................................................................

Here is one scripture that disqualifies all religions that say there is more than one way to the Father.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Unitarians say there are more ways to the Father than Jesus.

.....................................................................

Here is one scripture that should stop Preterists from believing that Jesus already came and will not come again.

Romans 8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

We still die physically. We still have to have an immortal body given to us, the redemption of our bodies. The dying of God’s creation has not yet stopped, but will stop when God gives us immortal bodies and makes the Earth anew.

......................................................................

Here is one scripture that should stop a person from continuing to contemplate believing the Mormon religion. In addition, this one scripture should stop someone from thinking of joining the Islamic/Muslim religion.

Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

Joseph Smith says the angel Moroni gave him the other testament of Jesus Christ. Do not let anyone, nor the Mormon missionaries, try to explain away what Galatians 1:8 says! The Islamic religion claims that an angel appeared to their prophet and gave him the Qur'an. Paul says not even an angel should preach a gospel other than the one he preached.

......................................................................

Here is a scripture that exposes the Catholic Religion.

Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Catholics have a Pope. Pope means 'father'. The Catholics even call their Pope 'Holy Father'. 'Holy Father' is a name reserved for God. Not only do the Catholic parishioners call the Pope and priests ‘father,’ the Pope and priests call each other 'father'. Jesus said not to call any one on earth 'father' and that they are all brothers in Christ. Brothers and sisters in Christ are not fathers and mothers in Christ. There are many other false doctrines in the Catholic religion, but starting from the top of their religion--- the Pope, that should be enough to stop there with that religion.

.....................................................................

Here is the one scripture that should stop the Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Messianic Jews, Christadelphians, and any religion who say people do not go to heaven.

Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut off the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

There are other false doctrines in those religions, but that one scripture should be enough to stop any further involvement.

.........................................................................

This one scripture should stop any confusion brought on by Pentecostals.

Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

There is only one baptism of the Holy Spirit. Pentecostals believe in more than one baptism of the Holy Spirit. There is “one baptism.”

...........................................................................

Here is a scripture that should cause to more than question if one's tongue speaking is biblical. In addition, this one scripture should show there are not new prophecies, or new knowledge, as evidenced in the fact that we do not add to the bible.

1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Pentecostals, Charismatic, Assemblies of God, and the Word of Faith Movement believe in their false nowadays tongue speaking. In addition, this scripture tells us the Pentecostal and Mormon religion is false with their added prophecies, the Mormons with their added prophecies of “Another Testament.” Prophecies ceased, as did tongues and new knowledge, which were all gifts given at the same laying of the foundation times. The foundation has been laid, the sign has been given. The New Testament times were special times, it was during the laying of the foundation of the truth when God testified to what the apostles said, God testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will; signs such as speaking in tongues. See Hebrews 2:4. People spoke in tongues, prophesied, they were given new knowledge for the same reason, the laying of the foundation, the Way to be saved. The foundation has been laid, the sign has been given, and tongues and prophecies and new knowledge have ceased.

............................................................................

Here is one scripture to show that infant baptism is not biblical.

Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

An infant cannot repent. Many denominations perform infant baptisms. The way to salvation changes by infant baptism. Infant baptism is not biblical. Catholics, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, a sect of Methodists, and Reformed denominations perform infant baptisms; they preach this falseness, which is a damaging blow to those needing the truth.

............................................................................

Here is one scripture to show that baptism is by immersion.

Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Baptism represents how a believer equates his life with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Our old person is to die and be buried with Jesus through baptism into death. We are buried with the water, and raised out of the water, raised to live a new life through Jesus.

Picture how baptism looks…the believer comes to make the pledge to God, to die to the sins of the world; so now standing in the water the believer falls back, as if dead; then, the believer goes under the water, buried; then, the believer rises up out of the water, raises up to live a new life.

............................................................................

Here is a scripture that should dismiss Calvin's predestination belief.

1 Timothy 4:10 (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.

Reformed denominations believe in Calvin's theory. Calvinist beliefs are that God made people incapable of believing in Jesus; and that God will not allow them to believe, and that these people are created to go to hell. Calvinism is a false doctrine. 1 Timothy 4:10 plainly says that the Savior is for "all men". Reformed denominations practicing this falsehood usually have the name “Reformed” in their denomination's name . Calvinists say we were born without the ability to believe in Jesus. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. Why would you believe something that is not the word of God?

............................................................................

Here is one scripture that explains there is an eternal punishment.

Matthew 25:46 Jesus said, “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Many believe in a temporary punishment, whereas after punishment all the unrepentant will go to eternal life with Jesus. Jesus says that there is an eternal punishment.

...........................................................................

Here is one scripture that should stop some from saying that Jesus will save all.

Exodus 32:33 The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.

Some believe in Universalism, a belief that all will be saved. However, this one scripture shows that God will blot people out of the book of the living.

........................................................................

Here is one scripture that should stop all from believing and teaching the falseness of “faith alone.”

James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

Many misunderstand Paul about ‘no works’. The works that Paul is speaking about that do not save are the ceremonial works. The only time the Bible tells us “faith alone” is to tell us what kind of faith not to have. Baptists, Lutherans, and many denominations teach and practice this falseness, it interferes with helping others to seek God and find Him. It goes against God and His Truth.

........................................................................

Here is one scripture to rebuke the Church of Christ denomination:

Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

The Church of Christ denomination claims you cannot be saved and have the Holy Spirit before a water baptism, they deny some people's powerful testimony of when they were saved. Who would go to a church that rejects what Jesus did for you?

.......................................................................

Here is one scripture to do away with Mid Acts Dispensationalists.

Luke 16:16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it.

Mid Acts Dispensationalists say that Jesus and Paul preached different Gospels and for different people; Mid Acts Dispensationalists say that the things Jesus said while on earth are not for us all today. They are badly mistaken not knowing God and the scriptures. What Jesus says in Luke shows us that there is one Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was preached since John and preached by Jesus to all. Paul did not come with a different and better gospel than the one Jesus came to give us.

...................................................................

There is no if, and, but, or maybe. Jesus' word is plain and clear. Now if only we will believe and obey. We do not need to join a church. We are the church. Jesus himself lives in those he saves.
 
I found this my brother, help me and share if this is how you see it.

main-qimg-b54f6352b1e9d2e5cf1f8c32ac4572ef-c
I would align with Baptist since the Nicene creed teaches error by including the worship of the Holy Ghost with the Father & the Son when there are no scriptures that teaches that when we are led by the Holy Spirit to testify of Christ thru us John 15:26-27 KJV to glorify Christ thru the Spirit in us John 16:14 KJV because the Son is the only way to come to God the Father by John 14:6 KJV as there is no other way to come to God the Father by which includes the Holy Spirit, John 10:1 KJV and thus the only way to honor the Father is by ONLY honoring the Son John 5:22-23 KJV which led by the indwelling Spirit to do. It is because the Holy Spirit is God and One of the 3 Witnesses within the Godhead that men assumed that it is okay to worship the Father & honor the Father by worshiping and honoring the Holy Spirit also, but no.

For sinners in the world that relates to spirits and worship gods as in the spirits behind the idols, they need to know they are coming to God the Father by the only way provided and that is through His Son; not through the Holy Spirit. That is why all invitations points to the Son of God in coming t God the Father by so sinners KNOW they are not to come to the Holy Spirit in coming to God the Father by where the spirits of the antichrist can intervene and they have in taking their eyes off of the Son which the real indwelling Holy Ghost would never do; hence those seducing spirits are fulfilling their roles as the spirits of the antichrist as in "instead of Christ".

So what does the indwelling Holy Spirit does? Points to Jesus always whereas the visiting spirits of the antichrist with signs and lying wonders points to themselves for believers and even sinners to seek after for a sign but Jesus said this;

Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Saved believers and sinners should not be seeking salvation by a sign nor to receive the Holy Spirit by a sign les they commit spiritual fornication/adultery. They can repent by returning to their first love and chase no more after spirits to receive after a sign & shun vain and profane babblings aka tongues for private use & pray normally so they know what they had prayed for to give the Father thanks in Jesus's name for answers to prayers which is the will of God for us to do.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Incidentally, I have been to a Baptist forum and you can't separate a Baptist from those that are espousing Pentecostals/Charismatics' teaching with focus on the Holy Spirit. It has gotten that bad.
