Thanks Scott that was an excellent hint, and what a deep resourceful scripture that is: Philippians 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not...

I think you are a bit fatalistic here in your comments to Scott. There is nothing wrong with anything he said, he presented exactly what we all need to hear right now, it's the essence of the scriptures in that regard as preached by the apostles. Your implied conclusion that the presented...

"nation shall not lift up sword against nation" that's the time of Jesus's reign on earth. What do you mean John by "How's that working out for 'em?" well, Jesus will be their King too by then. Someone else said "The lion (of Judah) and the lamb (of Ephraim) will live together in peace...

RE: Isa 66:22-24 - Yes the consistency itself (prophets --> Jesus) is already all the proof anyone can ask for. The context explains what hell means, not the word in an original language itself. As for the term AV, it was authorized by God that gives authority to Kings. God does not authorize...

Quick search result in an AV Bible, results for 'hell' - looks like about 50% in OT, and 50% in NT I read that many 'cut versions' of new 'interpretations' have lost 1000's of words in the last 400 years, so that might bring people to the conclusion that Jesus talked more about it than the...

Amen, and Jesus is also called "the first begotten of the dead" in Rev 1:5 that washed us from our sins Now - yes - now we can walk as he walked. 1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid...

Let's examine a few Bible definitions Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in...

"Paul identifies those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on the things of the Spirit." Exactly, so what are the things of the Spirit? Scripture only please. "People who stop sinning just for the sake of their own salvation, have not fulfilled the category of love in it"...

Yep, and so are we - IF we are a son of God. Found another post, even more comprehensive than the last: "The problem is many consider the Christian life by grace as living by 'NO LAW' or lawless." And it's always hidden in clever dogmas, that once you ask to explain and define, deflate to...

Yes, and what does it mean to follow him?

Just read this on another forum, where a post gets to the point of "The issue is reality!" Well done, I agree, it's really an issue of reality. Examining the situation of a rising counterfeit and comparing it to true Christianity John wrote his epistles in response to the gnostic corruption of...

Perfect summary, it does include as a 'must have integral' - "Blessed are they that DO his commandments" Why? Because the others won't make it that far to the end of Revelation. I just recently rediscovered what "blessing" means, it's actually effective in our lifes because its opposite = sin...

"Get in line about America" No thank you, I'm a Christian. Its unfortunate that you ran out of arguments a few posts ago, and now offer such phrases as these, revealing unfortunately. Fine, let's assume the warnings to America have ended because she cannot hear the truth anymore and maybe...

You seem to not understand the difference between an accusation and the statement of facts. I'm not usually in the position to explain the sin of a rogue nation that sponsors terrorists that then kill Christians like the ones in Syria to one of its citizens that will eventually be caught in the...

Spot on Scott in AU, you just told us the true nature of saving faith. Everything we externally do, or don't do is just a reflection of that. Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I...

You still view it all from the wrong end. You want to talk about justication, how to be justified, we talk about what to do after we are justified. What is salvation about, what is for, and how to walk in the Spirit. It's impossible to understand why our view is different until you get that...

Who says that anybobdy hates anybody else? Just because America is killing a lot of people currently does not mean they couldn't repent potentially. Everybody is given a chance to repent from their sins. To answer your question where is America in Ezekiel 38? It is here: Ezekiel 38:10 Thus...

.If you say that Jesus does teach old covenant and you then listen to a Jesus that never really spoke to us, basically a person of your imagination or someone's theology instead - then by all means you have another Jesus. Another Jesus cannot save anyone, you need to find a way to listen and...

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Another case. They know how He is. But they don't want to follow him. with their lips they profess him, yet they refuse His right to instruct and lead them - His very own creation. They rather follow their own...

From a statistical numbers research: "The truth about a hopeless bondage to a sin, which will give them less than half of a normal life expectancy. The homosexual is not allowed to be told that 4 out of 5 homosexuals have a sexually transmitted disease. The homosexual is not allowed to be told...
