This is addressed to the so-called "Torah Observant" Christians, the modern Judaizers : why, if we're to serve by Torah, did Jesus say that you are doing a work of the evil one if you do as the Torah permitted and make a vow? Matthew 5 33“Again, you have heard that [z]the ancients were told...

Since unrighteousness is a suppression of the truth about God (Ro 1:18,19), the flip side of the same coin would be that righteousness is a revelation of the truth about God : when God speaks about Himself, and we adhere to the Word God spoke (ie, God's Gospel about His Son), we are saying, "God...

This presentation makes some pretty persuasive arguments that they indeed are of the 10 Lost Tribes.

We all know how Romans 7 goes--Paul describes getting whooped by sin. Does it describe Paul's Christian life, or the life he lived before salvation? Romans 7 1Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the [a]Law), that the Law has jurisdiction over a person...

Jesus says that someone who is forgiven their sins through Christ's sacrifice can sin in such a way as to have that forgiveness rescinded, so that such a person ends up being thrown in hell. For those who argue salvation can't be lost, or that being born of God can't be undone, tell me: are...

Since there is "no condemnation" for those in Christ (Ro 8:1), why is the sinning Christian "condemned" (Ro 14:23)? My way of reconciling these is simply recognizing that not all remain in Christ: remaining requires obeying God's commands (i. believe, and ii. walk in love (Jn 15; 1 Jn...

Walking by faith is not "works". "Works" is "a righteousness of my own"; walking in faith is God's righteousness (Ro 1:17; 14:5,23). "I was abundant in labors above them all, yet, not I, but the grace with me." "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives...

Isn't it true that the reason there is no condemnation for those in Christ is because they are not sinning? 1 John 3 5You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. In Romans 8:1, Paul had just described the plight of a Jew under the Law--ie, being mastered...

In 1 Corinthians 10, the "salvation" of Christians is said to be the anti-type to the deliverance from the house of bondage, and from God's wrath there, which the Jews experienced. 1. The Jews spread the blood of a lamb on the doorposts of their homes, and were spared from God's wrath--we are...

Most of us have heard of the benefits of fermented veggies, so I won't go into it, but I wanted to share what I've done, and possibly encourage others to so do. https://baumancollege.org/root-kimchi/ Root Kimchi Author: Sandor Katz Serves: 1 quart Ingredients 4 cups filtered water 3 Tbs sea...

Obviously, eating Christ's flesh and drinking Christ's blood is defined as receiving His Word... John 6 56“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him." John 15 7“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you..." ...but doesn't Christ define "eating His flesh and...

Many assert James 2 (wherein James calls his Christian audience (he knows they're believers, or else he wouldn't call them "adulteresses against God"--unbelievers who sin are not being "adulterous" to God, since they're not "married" to God) to repent of sin, and to not only have faith, but to...

What is predestination? How is predestination brought to bear upon your life? What evidence is there that you believe it? How has it affected your life, or how does it affect yourself life? If it doesn't affect your life, would you say it's good that your life remains unaffected by Biblical...

I recently hit a nerve with a couple users discussing Galatians 6:6-10, so I thought it would be a good idea to open a thread on the passage. Galatians 6 6The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. 7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for...

How do you balance the Biblical doctrine of past-tense justification by faith without good works with the Biblical doctrine of future-tense justification by good works of faith? It is true that Romans 4 speaks of justification by faith, apart from good works--and that it is of faith so that it...

I had so many seemingly unanswerable questions that I had given my all to answer, with fasting, and I could never answer them, but as soon as I started bringing them to God, the answers started being dropped from heaven. So easy. Now I see that I don't have to struggle--it doesn't accomplish...

Some acknowledge that it is possible for a believer to fail to remain in Christ, but they want to deny it is an issue on which eternal life hinges. You are commanded to remain in Him to continue being supplied with His Spirit; we only remain in Him by obeying His commands (1 Jn 3:23,24). If we...

Would it be possible to offer a Dark Mode option, for night viewing?

I wonder about "abiding in Christ" in my walk, and it seems the way to do that is by faith (both faith in God's Son AND then reflecting that love of God to others by walking in my convictions generated/authored/powered by God's love received through faith in Christ), so that if I walk by the...

(In case you "remember" this post, I had shared it on another Christian Bible discussion site.) Since we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, given to us by Christ, Christ is our Savior... but, then, what place do our works have? I want to have a discussion, because I find discussing...
