    We are partakers of the divine nature

    Excellent observation. Contrast is intrinsic to God's Word as given to us. First and foremost is the contrast between God's Holy and Righteous Nature, and the unholy and sinful nature of all that opposes Him and is corrupt as a result. The same contrast between the Divine Nature and sinful...

    Many Denominations

    Technically none are the correct one to follow, since it is Christ we are to follow, not man-made institutions. 1Co 1:10-13 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be...

    The Devil gets around the Law, by provoking God to do more than necessary (provoked?)

    Better to stick to Scripture: (Mat 4:3) The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” (1Th 3:5) For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and...

    As you THINK : So you are

    Also worth noting: 1Co 9:19-23 For though I am free from all, yet I have made myself servant to all, so that I might gain the more. (20) And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain the Jews. To those who are under the Law, I became as under the Law, so that I might gain those who...

    The Call of God

    Great topic, @Behold The PURPOSE OF THE PERSONS GOD HAS GIVEN TO HIS EKKLESIA Eph 4:11-12 And truly He gave some to be apostles, and some to be prophets, and some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, (12) for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    They trust in their academic ability to the point they are no longer "abiding in the vine", no longer drawing sustenance from Christ.

    Where is the Arminian "foresight of faith" for God's choosing?

    And yet it is a characteristic of God to always know all things Heb 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (13) Nothing in all...

    Keep This Mind

    The Holy Spirit never leads anyone into sin, and God doesn't tempt anyone to sin, but Christians still sin.

    The twelfth Apostle

    As Saul, at first he was antagonistic towards the twelve, and all who joined them.

    How To : Walk THE Walk of Faith

    Not by sight. Best to have context. 2Co 5:1-10 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. (2) For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from...

    End times eschatology and the hatred for it

    It transcends your hatred of eschatology, renders it a dead work.

    End times eschatology and the hatred for it

    Simple solution: Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

    Describe your yard or garden

    I did the wall and pond last year. Pretty basic at present. I'll get back to it soon.

    Describe your yard or garden

    We have been on our property coming up 31 years. We renovated a dilapidated inground swimming pool, I added a small lily pond, and there is a stream that becomes a river in heavy rain at the bottom of our gully, which is still being landscaped, as this photo shows.

    Would you consider the following to be a success?

    Some funerals give the impression that deceased non-believers have gone to heaven, but it's not Biblical.

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    The Good Shepherd Rom 2:2-11 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. (3) And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? (4) Or do you despise...

    Why is the death, burial, and resurrection important?

    Important things get mentioned, that's why.
