The bible could be seen as an incoherent mess...with statements flying about in no particular order...with even blatant contradictory statements. Many claim to understand the depth of the word...but these overclaim their ability by simply leaving out or ignoring the verses that contradict their...

Jesus promised that He would not leave us orphans...that He would send the Parakletos....the Comforter (He who comes to one's side). That means we need never be away from God's presence. The truth is that we can bask in His presence always. This is the unspeakable gift. There are different...

Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the LORD Jesus Christ, What is meant that our citizenship is from heaven? When a person is born in a certain country, that person can be said to belong to that country....the land of our birth. If a...

Metanoia is a journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life. In the bible it is translated as "repentance." Metanoia means "after-thought." But it is more than a one-time event or action. Repentance is a process of going from being carnal to being spiritual in Christ. We are to...

Ever since the declaration of "Mission Accomplished" by those who see the bible as "the way, the truth, and the life"...the insurgency of error (or errorists) has been on the rise. Just as Paul Bremmer confidently declared that everything he did was directed by the Lord (he did read the bible)...

This is a follow-up thread to the thread entitled "The Inner Man." Other ways of calling the natural man are ...the carnal man, or outward man. This subject merits a deeper study as the natural man, above all else, gets in the way of spiritual growth in Christ. There is nothing more difficult...

Paul tells us that we are to follow the traditions as laid down by the apostolic example. But what constitutes apostolic tradition? I will begin by saying that the primacy of spiritual life and anointing in church leadership is upheld in that tradition. In our time a lot of people won't even...

Let us define our terms before beginning into a study on what constitutes the ceiling of the inner man to the faith OF Jesus Christ. We could see ourselves as a seed with a protective husk around it. The outer husk is the natural man, the carnal man...who so often is presented as being who we...

It is unfortunate that we need a thread to expose another man made "ism". But people can't help themselves I suppose. So the purpose of this thread is to expose the error and heresy of Gnosticism...which at least some on this board have fallen into. Now there are various degrees of...

Here is a subject that few speak of...and yet it is rather an important consideration when it comes to we who actively seek to advance with God. Mal. 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written...

Greetings fellow forum members. Here is a study and a meditation about the nature of God's word....together with a deeper look at what signifies the dual nature of our calling in Christ. The sword, for our purposes will be seen as a spiritual weapon. Not as a weapon that kills, as in...

Spiritual warfare, as the name implies, is not against flesh and blood. It is in the realm we are being called to as salvation in this present time. There are 2 levels of warfare for the would-be saint. There is the personal battle...and the war to win the world for Christ. What is little...

Ok. Got the attention of some of ya. ;) I just wanted to put up the name of a country OTHER than the US all the time! :) Even the idea of calling the country the U.S. It kinda makes every other country appear as T.H.E.M. You know the old US and THEM mentality. Anyhow, thanks for dropping by!

Mat. 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. So who are the many? Who are the chosen? Chosen by whom? and how?...and for what?

I have posted this video which I think is fair and balanced. I very much like this brother and his kindly approach. He actually acts like a brother. It's a bit long...but very worth the listen. Enjoy! :)

I have posted this topic here...for reasons that will soon become apparent. Let me begin by saying that sound doctrine is that which PERMITS us and INFORMS us to be Christ-like in our thoughts and actions. Opinions matter for nothing...unless to take away our potential for entering into Christ...

I have posted this in a forum for the unorthodox doctrines...since I believe what orthodox has become has shifted 180 degrees from what it once was.And this over a great period of time...so slowly that few have even noticed it. With an open mind....good reading comprehension, and the help of...

This is a very misunderstood topic. The righteousness of God has been lowered into something far less than miraculous and divine in our time. But let's give ourselves a chance to get things right. I would like to begin by listing a few examples of the righteousness of God in action...from the...

The phrase "key of David" is mentioned only twice in the bible. Once in each testament. And that is for a reason. God does this kind of thing to teach us something about His will. It is an instruction with a dire warning. The 2 places that the key of David is found....is Is. 22 concerning...

Here is a subject that religion has obscured to the point of destroying what is good in order to support that which is evil. I would have put this subject in the unorthodox doctrines section....but how could I do that to this very basic topic? I want to begin with a story of my own making...
