He said "my yoke is easy", but it's still a yoke. "my burden is light," but it's still a burden. J

A continually surrendered life. J

The word "believe" is a mistranslation. If you're interested in what true saving Faith is, see the rediscovering pisteuo thread on the general discussions page. J

What caught my eye in the Op was where you said, "I needed to leave some room for Faith." Could you give me your understanding on what the application of Faithing into Christ is? Thanks jay

I accually think this is a good scripture to look at when discussing Female pastors and teachers, food for thought. J

Did a study of Gal.3:28, and also looked at the verse before and after to get context. This is how it reads using the exact definition from the Greek dictionary. Gal. 2:27, For as many of you that have washed oneself into the anointed messiah , have entered into the anointed messiah...

My parents put me in Catholic school in 1964. I really liked it, i couldn't wait to serve as a alter boy for the next 8 years. Never had any abuse issues, but the 80 year old priest used to hand out our report cards smoking and coughing on a cig, if we got a low grade we got a smack on the back...

Hi members, Thanks for the opportunity to share some info about the Greek word pisteuo. Pisteuo, the Greek word used148 times in the NT for the verb form of the Greek word and noun Pistis. Pistis is used 145 times in the NT. I would like to discuss if the church as a whole really understands...

You kind of entered into this discussion mid stream, are you in agreement with the first 3 steps?

The only problem is the words believe, believer, and believing are mistranslated words. The Greek word pisteuo couldn't be correctly translated into the English. The English doesn't have a corresponding verb to our noun "Faith" like the Greek does for its noun "pistis". This is very difficult to...

Okay, you see the seed as the "word of God", and i see it as Christ Himself. Question: Exactly what "word" are you referring to, or saying the Bible is referring to. The "word" as you are using as a context would not be compiled until the 1500's. Jesus is the word in carmate. What word are...

These are the things that must happen during the salvation journey and in the correct order. Believing and receiving in one moment in time is not true NT saving Faith.

So to recap.. 1) we're called by the Father. 2) We respond by a turning from our way to the direction of the caller in our minds. (repentant act) 3) We then take our first step of Faith or pisteuo towards God by making a genuine surrendering of our lives o Him, living a life inspired by such...
