Many will and do say that salvation is a "process"...because it would appear that "God is not done with us yet." Nonetheless, in addition to saying what would appear to be describing a process, the scriptures also describe salvation as instantaneous, that anyone in Christ is "a new creation...

Science is one thing...but we should also "render to God the things that are God's." Matthew 22:21 I'm no expert in science, and yet there are experts and there are experts, just as there are natural and spiritual. God has given us a world of time and dates and a mind to examine it all, and we...

When Jesus sent out His apostles, did they ever make it out of the cities of Israel? When?

This world is rather a "creation" by Him who is real. The "renewing of our mind" which the apostle Paul spoke of, is the need to eventually come around from thinking as the world thinks, to thinking as God thinks. Which begs the question: Which way of thinking is right, God's way, or the...

This is essentially what God has done by inspiring His word to be written over time, "precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.” Isaiah 28:10 How should such a marvelous work be understood? Is it any wonder it would require that we "not be conformed...

God has plans for those among His own people who run contrary to Him. Jesus' word to the Pharisees, Scribes, Hypocrites, Blind Guides, and Lawyers was "Woe", meaning: "an interjection of grief or of denunciation." As this example passage; Matthew 23:13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees...

I find it amazing--down right shameful, that with God being spirit, so many would-be Christians continually wage war against the Spirit. To which I would say: Those who are against the Spirit, are simply for the flesh and therefore pro flesh. I mean, it should be obvious to children of a...

For these past two thousand years of the church age most have misunderstood what actually occurred when Jesus ascended into heaven (as opposed to what occurred at his resurrection from the dead on earth). He did indeed raise from the dead, went through walls and locked doors, ate fish, walked...

The biblical term "Glorified Body" is greatly misunderstood. Many wrongly take that to mean the flesh is glorified. It's not. As Paul said, it is not that body of flesh that is sown that is glorified, but rather that body dies and the new body is a new creation. That new body is literally born...

There is no doubt a great irony in the world--that those sent from God, going against the flow and current of this world, must tell the truth with the same kind of determination that compels liars to keep lying to keep from being found out. Except those who are sent from God are not compelled by...

I just attended a lecture about the Sabbath by a well known PHD, Author, and College Professor--and he left out God's purpose for it! I raised my hand to ask if he knew the purpose of why God put it into practice, and what was greater the practice or the purpose?...but I never got called upon...

Jesus, Peter, and Paul--the Bible--tells us that many [Christians] would believe a lie and fall into "strong delusion." "Strong", meaning most will believe it and that this would be a time of "great apostacy." The biblical reality is that most people have been taught and believe in a lie, in...

Just as Paul proclaimed the mystery of marriage after thousands of years of people practicing it without full understanding, with words that were not so much his as God's, I proclaim to you who have been all this time with out understanding the mystery of birth, which by the Spirit is salvation...

First timeouts...then a page full of commercial ads? Or is it just me? I use Google Chrome and it's not like that on their home page. It's not on all websites, but I do notice it's now on Biblegateway.com. too. What gives?

When Jesus said, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14...

Is it just me or is Christianity Board timing out and not available more and more here lately?

Is the Spirit of God bad? 'Cause God is spirit and good, and even perfect. But here on these forums daily i am promoting God as being spirit, and us becoming like Him--and people who call themselves Christian, argue tooth and nail against the very idea, and anything and everything spiritual...

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. created H1254 H853 The KJV translates Strong's H1254 in the following manner: create And here's the kicker-- H853 contracted from H226 in the demonstrative sense of entity; properly, self: The KJV translates Strong's H226...

Yes, this is a counter to the "Spotting Heretics" thread. After all, the witch hunts and burnings at the stake were fueled by the same misunderstandings. The issue is this: 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to...
