I remember seeing a Bugs Bunny episode as a child...about the Tasmanian Devil. Bugs Bunny looked up the diet of a Tasmanian Devil to see if it included rabbits. It didn't seem to. That is...until the Devil turned the page to a whole chapter entitled...Especially rabbits. :) We have that same...

It would seem that no human institution is able to represent the true nature of Jesus Christ...being both fully God AND fully human. This is seen by all and sundry as impossible. So then His nature is divided up piecemeal with each denomination attempting to champion one facet of Christ or the...

People love to divide things...just as God loves to bring things together. So there is a push-pull struggle going on between God and those who He has redeemed but who are resisting what God wants to do. I have posted this before but people tend to not comprehend very quickly that which they...

....is a man-made slogan...possibly made up by a converted used car salesman. It is from a very human perspective as it seeks guarantees. But why can't God be trusted to do what is right? Do we rely on a guarantee that's proof against God's judgments? In the world we look for guarantees...

It seems that the people who push grace the most understand it the least. To have grace means to not judge others, yet the most judgmental people in the world are grace pushers. And this follows human nature. Unless the flesh has been dealt with at the cross...the old nature will latch onto...

I thought to list a few things from the bible that we can contemplate as to the nature of the New Covenant. The whole thing is based on the impossible. We all know that Jesus did the impossible as if it was ordinary....but so did His followers. When Peter was imprisoned and the chains fell...

This is a crucial topic...as it regards us more than we think. Here it is helpful to get doctrinal things right in order to see this clearly. Is. 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare...

I thought to start this thread since I find no one considers this eternal destiny in their calculations as to possible outcomes for humanity. Jude 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. Wandering in the...

I know some OP's have a rather dubious agenda filled with a lot of wanky ideas. To some, this might seem like such a post. But this is an important topic when you consider that the bible is written in a way that is unlike any other book. The bible is unique. As such we must compare the words...

Rev. 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. I was thinking about this this morning and it hit me that the world we are presently living in will melt away and even the galaxy we presently find ourselves...

Here is a study to help people in the various Hebraic style movements to learn of Christ and who He really is. There seems to be a trend to deny the deity of Jesus Christ...and this because of a legalistic view of God and His covenants that would negate that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. I...

Have you ever read a verse in the bible and saw new meaning in it as if you were reading it for the first time? Even though you had read it many times before? There are layers of meaning in the bible....especially in the OT....since the gospel was truly hidden at that time. But not so hidden...

Greetings to all, We are to be stewards of a great mystery. The mystery of God's grace towards men. Many will say that this isn't such a mystery but this is to miss the depth of the truth and the power it has over our lives. So often we use the word bluntly as if we are playing with plastic...

What Does It Mean to be Dead in Christ? 2 Cor. 4:10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. What does it mean to be dead in Christ? We see that the pathway to life in Christ is through His death. But in what...

Holiness is based on LIFE from heaven...the life of Jesus Christ IN us. But what of the law of sin that is in us? Is it not like the law of gravity that keeps us in bondage to this world through sin? YES! But there is a new law that is come through the resurrection life of Jesus. It is the law...

We begin with a small deposit of grace...like a sample. This is the first deposit which is Christ in us the "hope" of glory (but not the glory itself). But to get the full measure we need to go to God...to seek His presence. We still need to enter INTO Christ. God will not give us the death and...

We all have the same access to the death of Christ. He atoned for the sins of the whole world. That includes the past. But we have access to much more than that by entering into Christ. He was raised from the dead for OUR justification....we who are believers. How? We are justified by...

We often see it in others...but not in ourselves. We, being human, come to Christ in the same basic condition as all men...used to our old lives and old way of seeing things...even WITH the truth! We need renewing in our minds! We all have a tendency of keeping our lives orderly (this goes...

Jesus asked...do you not know the sign of the times? When discussing what is happening in the church and in the world we need to understand the forces that undergird the modern society. I have started this thread to look at what has come to be known as...modernity. What is the basis of this...

Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Most (even true) Christians experience the first but are entirely ignorant of the way in Christ that is meant to follow. This is the sign of the times where the middle class...
