RichardB, I really don't think that you even read the messages. I'm not going to carry on a one sided debate. Since you don't read and you simply want to justify your sin. Carry on

Hi Episkopos, The truth is, and I know this personally, that when I read about those who God called righteous in the bible, I do not see myself as walking anywhere near the righteousness that they did. Those things should bring conviction when we examine ourselves by the standards set by those...

Interesting RichardB, RichardBurger said: “God accounted Abraham righteous solely for his faith in God's Promises, and not by anything that he did.　 There is nothing in Genesis 15 that mentions any works that Abraham did. Paul accurately reports this.” I don't think that I ever mentioned...

Amen Episkopos! 2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2 Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers...

Amen Axehead! When we first believe in HIM and repent, our garments are made white. From then on we keep our garments. If we fall short we have an advocate, "Wash me with water and I shall be clean, cleanse me and I shall be whiter than snow." Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse...

"If a person is trusting in men to tell them knowledge of God's word they will fail to comprehend it. The word of God must be revealed to a person by the Holy Spirit. - No one can understand the things of God unless it is revealed to them by the Holy Spirit." We can agree on that truth. I think...

The "living waters is the word of God". The double edged sword is the Written Word with the LIVING WORD. I know an atheist who studies the bible more than a lot of Christians and he certainly can challenge many with his on-the-surface understanding, yet he can't see the deeper things...

Hey RichardBurger, It's not a question of "what are the living waters." It's a question of WHOM is the fountain of living waters. Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can...

Revelation 3 not only goes into the lukewarm church, but Jesus also says that HE counsels them to buy gold tried in the fire, (refinement/purging.) so that they might be rich. White raiment that they may be clothed and their shame will not appear, shame is tied to sin throughout the bible. Yes...

Amen!

Since there aren't any more responses to this, I suppose that i should go ahead and share what I've seen in the scriptures regarding these three questions. I just read a message where someone wasn't happy about new members coming against anything, so I really hope that this isn't offensive to...

2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...

Just some thoughts and scriptures that I've seen concerning unity and division in an ongoing study. God divided light and darkness, land and sea, holy from the profane, nations and languages among other divisions seen in the scriptures. Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on...

Amen Episcopal, Paul went into detail about the renewing of the mind, through the washing of the water of the word and the purging of the old leaven that we may be a new lump. 1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ...

So true Foreigner, I've actually spoken to more than a few people who deny the scriptures and the instruction contained within the written word and the revelation that comes through prayerful study. I'm not saying this in an accusatory manner as I also rejected the scriptures for many years. I...

Amen! 2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Proverbs 1:2 To...

In our prayers here Shep.

Mjrhealth, Paul wrote about how a babe in Christ goes from the milk of the word to the meat of the word. We grow as we continue in the word. As in the example from John 16, Jesus told the disciples that HE had much to tell them but they could not yet bear it. As we continue in the word and...

Absolutely Episkopos, We wouldn't even know that without the scriptures. There's a reason why it was written. 1 Corinthians: 9Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites. 10And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel...

I love the qualification at the end of your message...too funny. I'm glad that my relationship and walk with God through Christ is between He and I. If you read through my message and responses on this string you'd know that opinions of men mean nothing unless it lines up with HIS written...
