greetings! It's been a while since my last post. I've been writing a book. In the midst of my endeavours I came across this verse which I believe to be poorly translated from the Greek to mean the opposite of the original intent. the verse is 1 Peter 1:13 "Therefore, prepare your minds for...

Here is a shortened version of a movie based on the dispute between Rambam...the Jewish scholar and a converted Jew named Christiani. Now there is a definite Jewish slant to the film....but there are some very good points being made...that hold up to this day. Jews look at the dogmatic form of...

It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. In the goal of bringing human nature and it's propensity to get caught up with religion, hypocrisy and vanity to light, I would like to explore this human morality that trips us up so much and that impedes growth in the...

I found this testimony to be both interesting and compelling...and uplifting. I am sharing it here to discuss the approach to having this kind of witness in the world. Now the speaker is Sonny Sandoval...the singer from "Payable On Death" a heavy metal/rap group that has sold millions of...

People tend to take things too far....to miss the bigger picture...and this especially when there is a self-interested motive. I would like to bring some clarity to the doctrine of sovereign (or irresistible) grace. This has become the heresy of our time...making God into a garbage can of...

The gospel of today is but a half-gospel...taken from the bible...but not in complete form. There is a saved from...and a saved to. Saved from the world (Egypt)...to be saved to the kingdom walk (the Promised land). But people are taught that there is but one step into salvation...the saved...

From any kind of distance a decoy looks like the real deal. But for a duck to be a duck it needs to quack like a duck! :) A decoy is used in spiritual terms to hunt for souls....to put people in bondage. While promising them life they bring death. And many believers are victims of a decoy that...

The dreaded 10th commandment. Why single that commandment out? There were 2 tablets of commandments given at Sinai. The first with the 4 holiness laws...and the 2nd with the 6 righteousness laws. But the 10th commandment is unique in that it is not an outward commandment but an inward one...

The tent of David...AKA... the tabernacle in the wilderness. Being LED by the Spirit in the present wilderness. As we are led by the Spirit more and more the world's pull lessens and lessens because we are following close to God. So it's about proximity to God. This is not a perfect walk...one's...

A true Christian does not take sides with anything to do with this world or the flesh. We who walk with God and serve God are to remain non-partisan...neutral. We resist the baiting of the devil into a political camp. We love all people...not because of their race or skin colour. We love all men...

Ps. 116:13 I will take the cup of salvations, and call upon the name of the LORD. In the Hebrew way of thinking...salvation is plural. Just like the above verse...which because it involves a different mindset...has been erringly translated into the singular. But in the Hebrew it is plural. And...

There are three levels of knowledge. I recently saw a pie chart that showed the three levels... 1. What we know 2. What we know we don't know 3. What we don't know we don't know In the pie chart the first was like 1 percent of all knowledge...and the 2nd was like 2 percent....and the rest was...

Ps. 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation(S), and call upon the name of the LORD. כּוֹס-יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָא The Hebrew text has the word for "salvation" as plural...or "yeshouot" ...and for good reason. There are 2 salvations necessary to enter into the kingdom...

Eternal life is a kind of life that is found in Jesus Christ. That life is His life...and to get it we must let go of our own. That life is in holiness and in the presence of God. There there is love joy and peace at a depth that surpasses anything we can experience naturally. So we are to...

OK...so I copied this post from another thread (dialectic) to continue with this important subject.. The Little Book: This could be a thread in and of itself. But the chapter is so important to understand why we need to remain in the whole counsel of God. Revelation 10 "1 And I saw another...

The bible is written as a "dialectic"...where there is a thesis...an antithesis..and when these agree we have synthesis. it is a way to understanding the truth based on the way our brains work. We have 2 poles in our brain that function each separately. It's what allows us to become hypocrites...

I got the idea of this thread through a post in another thread that suggested that Paul was a false teacher. I don't see that. I don't believe that. What I see is that nonspiritual people can misread Paul as catering to the flesh. And the champion of all champions of carnal religious men with...

Apparently mullets are making a comeback. This is a warning for those who may be offended by the hairstyles of others. Has anyone here had an experience with mullets?

Does God prefer one religious bent to another? Or is that about us? As in.."I can believe anything I want based on a verse taken out of context"

Greetings to all. I thought to put up a biblical...yes biblical...description of what the fellowship of Christ should look like. And I wish also to add in my own experience of that. ;) 1 Cor. 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine...
