What does the future hold for us individually? (David, for Lisa)
Lisa made the following request for a thread to be started. This is a pretty heavy subject, let’s do our best.
THREAD REQUEST:
Would like to ask if, at some point, a thread could be started about:
Is EVERY believer going to get a glorified body at the 1st resurrection? If so, please give scriptures that indicate this clearly. What did Yeshua mean when He said, ‘Many are called, few are chosen?’ (I can tell you what I think I have learned about this thus far…)
After pondering who gets the glorified body, then please tell me who is the Bride. Who are the Wedding Guests. Who are the multitudes. If everyone gets a glorified body – then who are the people giving marrying, giving birth and living to 120 year and then dying (if not cursed) in the New Kingdom (it’s in Isaiah: 65)?

Apologetic Defense for the Mosiac Law
Shabbat Shalom and greetings from snow covered Black Mountain, NC! We just received another blanket of flaky falling sky, which is not manna the last time I checked, and so I’ll be spending the next several days waiting inside for our roads to be cleared. In the mean time I thought I would post a link to a very long (14 pages if you printed it out) study of “The Mosaic Law: Its Function and Purpose in the New Testament”…which basically goes onto to say it doesn’t have one.  http://bible.org/article/mosaic-law-its-function-and-purpose-new-testament
I received this from a fellow brother in the faith whom I met recently at Scot’s presentation here in Asheville who received link from someone he loves very much, but who is strongly set against “this cult” that we seem to know as Truth. Ironically, this entire study could have very well be written by Pastor Chris, but since it is such a clearly laid out path to pave over Torah, I thought we would have fun dissecting it together. My hope for this exercise is that the folks like me who are newer to this aspect (or deepening) of their faith, would be able to see in clear cut ways where the “typical logic” of “most Christians” fails them when looking at this particular subject. This author seems to have a “better than average” understanding of history and Biblical language, but still manages to miss the mark. Can his entire conclusion simply be from his vantage point of the law being a negative or nuisance we need to be freed from, or are there larger flaws in his arguments?
I’m eager to read your thoughts and comments…and again, please stay on topic.  If we could site which verses and part of the article we are refuting that would greatly help the newcomers like me to track with you. If it gets waaay off topic, which I know it won’t, I may have to delete your tangents to keep the others from following your bread crumb rabbit trails

Does the age of the manuscripts have more weight than the content? This is a continuation of the discussion found in “An Interview With a Baptist Pastor.” (requested by Scot)
Also, a continuation of the trinitarian discussion as a secondary topic.
An Interview With a Baptist Pastor (Requested by Miryam)
This is a thread requested by Miryam. Please keep this post kind and civilzed even if you disagree with the views of the Pastor during the exchange here.
Have fun
The Epistle to the Galatians
This post is set apart for the discussion of the “hot spots” pertaining to Galatians. I have found that a passage usually contains clarification within itself regarding areas that may be difficult. Let’s keep that in mind as we progress. I will post a few “points of contention” and you guys see what you can dig up as well! It is important to remember that these are personal letters from Paul regarding dynamics that were already in play, context is everything.
You have heard it said:
“you are no onger under the law”…what is being dicussed here? If Messiah came to deposit in us His Spirit and His Spirit lead His flesh to obey His Father…How could His Spirit in us produce anything different? Isn’t this the meanining of what the same author says in Romans 8:3-4
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Your thoughts…talk amongst yourselves!
