There is always one or two Scriptures that prove the truth, and there is no other understanding without twisting or ignoring the truth: When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto...

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. A form of godliness is man's form of religion...

Sin is not what man says sin is, but rather sin is what God says sin is in Scripture. What sin is in Scripture: unrighteousness, ungodliness, transgression of the law of God, Trespassing His commandment, of the devil. What men say sin is: Issues with the flesh. Natural Proclivities. Bad...

There is one main difference between hearing only Christians and obedient Christian saints: Hearers only agree that the gospel is true, Christian saints hear and obey the truth. I hear and agree saves no man. I hear and obey saves any man. Hearers only are not them that hear and reject the...

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with...

It is impossible to be saved and obtain eternal salvation at the end of this life without obeying God with the heart and doing His righteousness even as He is righteous. The false doctrine is thinking to be saved 'first' by faith before and apart from obeying Him. It is the carnal minded...

There are two ways to fall from grace in Scripture, and both are by works without faith: 1. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. When Christians begin to seek perfection by the flesh only, and doing works without faith, or...

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. This is a primary principle in life among all the living in matters of faith, that is confirmed in Scripture. This is not, as some suggest, a teaching of Scripture pertaining only to being a blessing to others, but is not pertaining to...

Christ's doctrine of justification is neither by faith only nor by works only: Christians are imputed righteousness by faith unto good works inwardly and justified by those good works of faith outwardly. Scripture speaks of imputed righteousness of faith, not of imputed justification by faith...

To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants. Therefore I will judge you, O house of...

I understand now why many Christians like to say 'practicing' sin in John's epistle on them of the devil committing sin. As well as preferring to say 'practicing' righteousness rather than doing the righteousness of God. Practicing Christians are doers of His righteousness, and speak...

The answer is in the question: What is predetermined, not who. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Omniscience foreknows who, predestination foreknows what, not who. Foreknowing who is...

And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. Did...

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the...

I’ll stick with Gods doctrine! “God created evil”. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. How does God create evil? Did He create the devil evil? Does He create evil people? How does He create darkness? Does He create the children...

From all my reading, Calvin was a good Christian man and sincere in the ministry, but was led astray by doctrinally trying to explain why some believe, and some do not. Doing so by doctrine was the open door to the devil. There is no Scriptural explanation for rejecting God, because God...

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I...

There are no saved sinners, but there are double minded Christian believers that Jesus is the Son of God. Romans 7 is Paul empathizing with the wretchedness of being double minded in the faith of Christ. He is not preaching a 'duality of soul', nor is he showing the perpetual state of all...

None of us go through the day without unclean thoughts (including anger). We should be asking for forgiveness of sin daily. Who says being angry is a sin? Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Being angry is not the sin, but what...

I am a thankful member of OSASS: Once Saved Always Stay Saved. I don't 'celebrate' the grace of God, but rather go to Him boldly for grace to help in time of need to endure all temptation and overcome all sin, one step with Jesus as a time, one day with Him at a time, which is a sure and good...
