I believe I've had this discussion on this forum a while back. I'm suprised no one has responded to you.

It's a terribly fallen world. I've never been divorced but I thank God for the blood. I think that often things don't go the way they should. Sadly, whatever is best for all parties should be accepted on a social level. However, I would imaging that a Christian couple would never seek...

(Wayne Murray;66992) Your words, "I think", "I believe", "I know", do you have more wisdom than God?Rom.1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Became vain (Greek...

I believe that there is a genetic connection to homosexual attraction. That means that it's definately a "lust of the flesh". The person who is predisposed to this sin and commits it often lives under such a stigma and such condemnation that they become spiritually and emotionally wounded...

(thesuperjag;54229) Which one serves? Water Baptism (by John the Baptist) or Baptism of the Holy Ghost (By Christ), Ephesians 4:5 says that there is only one baptism... Here's the deal...John's baptism was a mikvah. It was a Jewish conversion practice done as part of Judaism. This was only a...

Also "frustrating the gospel of grace" that you speak of is a reference to Galatians. The Galatian church was being plagued by the Judaizers who were demanding circumcision and adherence to Mosaic Law. We are no longer under the Old Covenant, we are under the New Covenant. Water baptism is...

(treeoflife;54226) All I am doing is defending the Gospel of grace. Like Paul, I don't frustrate the Gospel of grace. It is by grace we have been saved. Not by obedience. As a servant of the Lord, I must ask, why does defending the Gospel of Grace cause you to think I would need to give...

(treeoflife;54216) Amen. That's why we ought to walk as He walked. Just don't make it a matter of salvation, or you er greatly. As a preacher, I can't help but ask...what is it you're not willing to give up for the Lord? I don't see it as a matter of salvation...I see it as a guage by which...

(treeoflife;54213) Don't be decieved by hard believism. We can call it what we want, but I wouldn't teach anyone they should disobey. It just would be e MORE WRONG to teach anyone they can or should keep themselves saved with works (call it obedience if you will). Easy believism... or...

A believer might say, "I have faith and have no need of works!" True believers demonstrate their faith by their works. If they don't desire to obey...something is wrong with their experience. Either they don't have true faith or they are tangled up on some easy believism doctrine that...

(treeoflife;54208) Amen.He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Meaning even as Jesus walked. In obedience to the Father. Don't be decieved by easy believism. There is a gospel I call, "the gospel of disobedience".

(treeoflife;54205) Obedience does not give us salvation. Faith in Christ's Word/Work does. It is God's faithfulness TO US that saves us... not our faithfulness to Him. If we have at any time believed, He gives us a promise... the work is done... there is no law to keep (even if we wanted to)...

I'm a Pentecostal preacher...I've known men operating in these offices for years. Where have you guys been? lol

(treeoflife;54168) All I know is that we are no longer under the law. Should we obey? Why yes, we should. Does it take faith to obey? Why yes, often it does. Not only will we experience the blessings that automatically flow from obeying God's law NOW (not only physical, but spiritual), but...
