    Pope Condones Homosexuality

    This at face value seems immoral, undiscerning and as a Christian, objectionable at best. Being a Pope is being a Vicar of Christ. As Christ came the 1ST time, not to condemn, but as the Prince of Peace, to offer salvation, love all, even your enemies and bless them, the Pope feels he was...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    Ekeinos means ,"He". He is a masculine pronoun that refers to the Holy Spirit when in context. Jesus said the Father will send you " another Helper," the Comforter, Who speaks, guides, loves, convicts, gives wisdom, knowledge, counsel, sanctification, edification and lives and communes with us...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    You cannot be irreverent or disrespectful to an impersonal power/ force. You can only be irreverent or disrespectful to a person, and ultimately the most detrimental kind would be towards God. Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    God gave me a gift 33 years ago. I had faith then and now. Hope is part n of faith, it's always present. Prayers answered are blessings, the consequence and reward of faith. You seem to mix Christ's righteous with human works. Our works, if at all good, are the result of the Holy Spirit...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    There it is, you don't even know what faith is. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Oh, so you admit not to abide in Christ sometimes and so I guess you get off your high horse and come down to the lower walk with the rest of us. Good, a sign of some...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    Salvation is for today. We are to be reconciled to God in this life asap. BUT, we are not yet fully redeemed. We are jot rid of our flesh, the world and we do not yet have our eternal bodies. So this we have faith in. So you are exactly Christ-like? Lol We will be like Him and we ARE BEING...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    His 1st coming was as the Prince of Peace, Savior. His 2nd Coming will be quite different ...for judgment and His Bride a bitter/sweet visit. For those who ask, He does. He has and He does. Humility was the path to repentence. One needs to be like a child to come to the Lord. I am humble to...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    Who said that? We need His help to separate ourselves from sin. If you were once an alcoholic, then saw the LIGHT, repented, became a Christian and believed Jesus not only saved you, but healed you from that addiction, wouldn't you continually need to avoid going into a bar or that liquor store...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    Well said. He would not have died for our sins if He did not have forgiveness in His heart beforehand - for His elect. That was the core purpose, an act of love, mercy and forgiveness _ His intention _ but not for all. He will not forgive many. He knew the sins of the world ... trillions! He...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    I used to think that it was all God behind us being holy. But then why would He command us to be holy? I think to be holy is to be separate from sin, God is and we are to be, making an effort with His help. Not to say we earn salvation, but once He makes this "new creature", we are spiritually...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    Do you have your flesh or do you believe you disposed of it? Do you know what flesh is? It's not just your body, it is your soul, your old self - that btw we are to die daily to ( 1 Cor. 15:31). And so before we are given a new spirit, we are body, soul and a non- functioning spirit. What you...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    When you actually do that, but how often? Romans 8:5-13 This passage says that those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit are concerned with the things of the spirit. So, the big question is: Are we not at times...

    Jesus is the way, but how many ways are there to Jesus?

    Faith comes by the WORD. God draws you to it. You hear it, you read it and digest it. How else are we to get to know who Christ is? The way is Christ. One way. I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father but by me. JOHN 14:6 HE is the Gate. "Enter by the narrow gate; for...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. ROM. 7:17 I agree!

    That's it for me, for real this time. May you be blessed by the Holy Spirit. Bye.

    Do you believe this is...

    2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new" God is eternal, meaning no beginning, no end. I was created by God with many qualities like God. He equipped me with physical features, abilities, a...

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    God made America great. Trump just wants to try that again ... although Gidus in charge. But of course atheists do not believe that! It is funny that you posted Romans 13:1, yet you do not believe in God ... trying to attacksbwith God's word? You are using arguments for Jesus' principles of...

    Do you believe this is...

    He HAS made a NEW CREATURE. Our former dead spirit has come to life. I never said it was divine. We are in Christ, in The Divine God, in a loving relationship. There are many encouraging g messages if hope to persevere _ in faith _ that has been given us. Yes He wants us to make an effort, but...

    Do you believe this is...

    For 35 years I did not have a relationship with Christ. I was not interested, not drawn to Him in any way. I was on my own throne, lost. Them I was found, drawn to Christ through events and people that I realized were planned, not coincidence. I was a divine appointment, as awareness that God...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Have you heard of Reinhard Bonnke, the Billy Graham of Africa? He had a list of some 72 million confessions for Christ throughout his ministry, preached to crowds of up to 1.6 million at a time. Blind, deaf, crippled were healed and the dead were raised. Don't believe he was in it for the money...
