    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Jesus came to set us free from sin...and to destroy the work of the devil that fools people into thinking that we have to fight our own battle over sin, and the pull of its nature within us. The saint is someone who is not just set apart but also empowered to be as Christ in HIS...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    The bible says that "works righteousness" gets you accepted....but you are unable to break from your indoctrination long enough to believe the words of God. You have twisted the meaning of Paul...which is about holiness, not just salvation. That is the reasoning of a "reformer" who has been...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Acts 10: 34-35 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him. As to the Jews...rejecting the Lord is neither an act of righteousness nor fearing the Lord...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    My influence is in a direct connection to God and walk in His resurrection life and power. :) I don't follow men nor do I follow the teachings of any man. The bible will fully support my testimony as it is written by the same Spirit of God. Not many will be able to either understand the depth of...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Do you think that the gospel is about remaining in a state of NON-holiness, in bondage to the flesh, alien to the power and life that is in Christ? Jesus came to set us free from sin...and to destroy the work of the devil that fools people into thinking that we have to fight our own battle over...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    One would have to understand the nature of religious institutions and why these are against growth in the truth.....one would have to understand spiritual warfare. Sure. Entire denominations are based on this...Methodist, Salvation Army, Quakers, Nazarenes...etc. Most people don't have a...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    You are avoiding the difficulty of entering into the Beloved. Many will seek to enter in but be unable. This generation doesn't even try to enter in....because of automatic "exoneration". A race is not about exoneration...it is an ordeal meant to train and pressure us to high effort...in this...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    My contention is that most are building on the foundation of Christ with wood, hay, and stubble...based on a very human understanding of AVOIDING going back to Jesus for the finishing of their faith...and that due to crazy doctrines that appeal to the flesh that seeks salvation for itself.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    In this episode we seek to uncover what has been covered up; to dig up what has been buried; to expose the devil's strategy - that of taking what is of God for himself. Are we truly standing naked before God? Is the Lord truly our covering, or have we sought refuge in an ideology that we seek to...

    Is there such thing as progressive sanctification?

    How does sanctification come about? Is it a process we battle our way into, or a gift of grace received by faith as we ask, seek, and knock to enter into God's eternal kingdom? Is it something we are to strive for by human effort, or is it something miraculous that we appropriate as we enter...

    Let there be Light

    Let there be light! The light that conveys God's presence, love and power. The light that is a witness of eternal truth. Jesus as the light of the world, and we, who are called to be His light bearers in this world. A light that reveals Jesus as the unique door into God's eternal kingdom realm...

    Restoring the Way of Christ

    Restoring the way of Christ to the church is a pursuit of the full measure of grace obtainable in Christ who is the finisher of our faith and not only its author. The way that is in Christ is the way of holiness; whereby a walk at that level produces the Christ-likeness in character that is the...

    Is the Bible full of contradictions?

    BE holy for I am holy DO righteous judgment.

    Is the Bible full of contradictions?

    Righteousness is about DOING. Holiness is about BEING.
  16. Episkopos

    Is the Bible full of contradictions?

    God is also merciful. Is mercy the same as holiness? You are the one making the comparison....but in error. When speaking about God's judgments, He is righteous. God will judge the world in righteousness.

    Is the Bible full of contradictions?

    these terms are never synonymous. Can you cite a reference that shows that?
  18. Episkopos

    Is the Bible full of contradictions?

    Jesus said that there are two main commandments that encapsulate both the Law and the Prophets which in turn, cover both holiness and righteousness. Could the seeming contradictions in the Bible be due to the existence of these two standards?

    The Most Difficult Parable

    Do we understand the purpose of the parable of the unjust steward and how that can give us the wisdom we need to escape the dire consequence of failing God's grace?
