Amen. The church has unfortunately fallen prey to the political correctness of the world.

There are a lot of problems with "Churchianity"....churches don't even function according to biblical example and instruction. But we very much need to not throw the baby and the bathtub out with the bathwater. Over-correction happens easily and then we get a pendulum effect of one extreme to...

Amen!.... it's the power of God unto.....salvation! And nothing else is.

I think there is a matter of growth and "by now you ought to be teachers." There's a "separating" that occurs in the heart, a separating from what is false and of the flesh because of growing and learning and realizing. A cutting of the umbilical cord so to speak. If necessary and if the Lord...

What church did Jesus come to build? Yes that is the right question. Who is the church? What did Jesus say about who the church is? Does it consist of those who do the Father's will, or those who do their own will in His name? Does His church consist of all those "temples" built by men...

Amen. That's the gospel, the preaching of JESUS the CHRIST. That's the foolishness of preaching that has POWER to save. Nothing else has power to save, certainly not the wisdom of this world and men. And it has power to offend....the offence of the cross. If someone goes around preaching...

You're discussing denominations as if they are somehow legitimate and relevant. Wolves are IN and among the church. As Paul correctly foretold would happen after he departed. And Jesus specifically said He was sending us out as sheep among wolves. Wolves are a picture of the flesh, which we...

I just don't know what on earth some people think the gospel IS. Faith in Jesus the Christ, and obedience to Him....that is the gospel. That is what Jesus and the apostles went around preaching/teaching and laid down their lives for. Why do some folks think they are fine to just go around...

Strange how you keep normalizing denominations....kind of a straw man, irrelevant to truth. I dont' see anywhere in scripture that Jesus came to save denominations. He saves souls. And He even said that He sends us out as sheep among wolves, so none of this is a surprise to Him, but is part...

Yes, this is all Satan's kingdom (the world) divided against itself, as Jesus alluded to. And just think what it means that we are in the world but not of it.

Abundant life speaks of eternal/heavenly/spiritual life. It's not talking about seeking to have everything go our way in this life, but we may have His Life, life of the Spirit, abundantly and abounding in this life to see us through the trials and tribs of this life. This world is passing...

I think it's a question of what we are setting our hearts on and trusting in. Arm of the flesh or the Lord our God? Are we seeking those things which are above? What is the foundation we are acting from, the Spirit or the flesh? Are we seeking His kingdom and righteousness first? How...

Yes please, I'd love to see them if you don't mind posting them when you get the time. Thanks!

I'm thinking along the lines of.....we are not to fear man but fear God.......and the name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into it (HIM) and are safe....and in this world we shall have tribulation but fear not for He has overcome the world. The word of God doesn't teach us to...

Depends on what he meant by that I guess, I'm not very familiar with his teachings. But I hold to the view that everyone has eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of both good and evil....man can be good sometimes and evil sometimes. But whatever so-called good there is in man falls short of God's...

You can reason as a man until the cows come home and be deceived by your own carnal mind which is enmity with God, but there's just one tiny little problem with your gospel there Steven......it isn't what Jesus and the apostles went around teaching and preaching (not to mention laid down their...

Aren't you going to respond to Romans 1?

Oh dear, you think that speaks to the church about worldly things?

What precious stones, if one hasn't been building with them...?

Food for thought there brother, bless you....I'm going to need time to chew on that.
