Has there been a resognation in the USA? We've had a political upset in NZ with our Opposition Party Leader, a professing Christian, getting a vote of no confidence.

Mat 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (22) Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty...

Indeed calls to endure, and various military analogies do crop up in Paul's epistles. But we can see how Paul is very specifc in his training of Timothy, picking up on things he needed to address, namely being fearful and sensitive to put downs. 1Co 16:9-11 For a great and effective door...

Paul was among the elders that laid hands on Timothy and spoke forth the Will of God as it was revealed concerning him, so mentioned in these three references. 1Ti 1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may...

. . . And then there are those who think they have secure eternal salvation but discover they don't. Luk 13:27-28 But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.' (28) There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see...

Yes, the early church had to deal with divisions, and the problem persists. We shouldn't become pessimistic though. The ignore function is a blessing online and conflict avoidance is possible offline, although I must admit my patience does get sorely tested sometimes. A commitment to abide in...

Did you hear about the motion put forward at the AGM of The True Church . . . "that unanimous agreement be reached on everything believed to be true." ? They couldn't unanimously agree on what what was believed to be true about everything because no-one knows that except God.

I find the opposite to be the case, that when it is discovered from the Bible that God allows Satan to corrupt, deceive, and expoit the people He brought into existence, and then exacts revenge in Judgment upon those who remain in His Wrath in spite of His desire for all to be saved through...

Being different from the world is your thread title, so there is a comparison to be made between carrying the Ark of the Covenant the world's way on a new cart knocked together with planks attached to an axle and wheels, or God's Way, on the shoulders of those set apart from the world and...

Conflict with God and His resolution is the theme of the Bible. When the Ark of the Covenant was being carried on "a new cart" (the world's method) instead of with staves on the shoulders of Kohathites (God's method), Uzzah made the mistake of trying to steady it when it seemed necessary, and...

That's not the full story though is it. Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis

Points to Note: If every preGenesis test model of Creation proves opposition to God's Will is inevitable in all possible configurations, even a 1% redemption rate is better than zero existence for everyone. If the damnation of unregenerate humanity did not earn them the "wages of sin", there...

It is permissible to say you know someone who did something when that person is yourself, especially if identifying yourself would lead to accusations of boasting. Paul has maintained all along that it is foolish to boast of yourself, even though he wants to boast of this event. There follows a...

With F for Faith In Christ and G for the Grace of God we ace Judgment Day. Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Faith is a requirement for those in both OT & NT times. Gen 15:1-6 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." (2) But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go...

I have posted this this summary of Spiritual Armour before, but it won't hurt to refer to it again, and single out the role our faith has in defending us from barbs that we are the targets of. The picture is of arrows or darts that have been dipped in tar or pitch and set alight. The rigging of...

Not voting at all is the only alternative. Government is a necessity which is ordained by God, so at least some good comes of having a means to keep law and order.

Every creature ever created will acknowledge the worthiness of those in the Godhead. Rev 5:6-14 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven...

The point is your assertion about what Jesus said that motivated the hardened Jews to have Him crucified doesn't comport.

The Trinity is a term which describes God as One Being with Three States of Being. There are many analogies, not least water as one element existing as solid, liquid, and vapour. The original Greek of the Bible has this: Strongs G2304 θεῖος theios thi'-os From G2316; godlike (neuter as...
