    The social gospel?

    Rom 9:21-24 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might...

    The social gospel?

    Seems like with some people it's always a case of either/or.............either God is merciful, or He is wrathful. Either the cross is about forgiveness or it's about holiness. Why is it so hard for some to grasp that the answer isn't always a case of one or the other, but both? There is both...

    The social gospel?

    Think you are thinking too hard about it.....just believe the word with your heart brother. We dont' have to understand it with our natural minds to believe and obey it.

    Coming out testimonies reveal the source of same sex attraction

    Isn't that interesting, I discerned the exact opposite....without at all knowing your point in posting the video. It's helpful to understand something of how the devil works. We all have sinned.....according to the same pattern as Eve and the serpent. Serpent whispers a lie usually when we...

    The social gospel?

    The Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world, wasn't He? But there was a time when God was overlooking sin (in that the time for revealing to men the remedy for it hadn't yet come)........ but now He calls all men everywhere to repent. God forgives.........and He also judges, doesn't...

    The social gospel?

    Jesus said to His disciples..."you know the way to where I am going".....that way is the narrow way which leads to life......which is the way of the cross.....which is like Jesus in Gethsemane saying to the Father, "not my will but Thy will be done". So it means doing the Father's...

    Coming out testimonies reveal the source of same sex attraction

    I don't know your purpose for posting these videos.....but the thought comes to mind that he is believing a lie. The devil comes but to steal, kill and destroy lives.....he does that through lies.....the Father of lies. The TRUTH is that we are all what God created us to be, but things can go...

    You can become more like God via theosis/divinization and man inherited death, not sin

    Amen. The old testament scriptures are the scriptures that the apostle wrote about saying they are inspired by God and profitable for instruction, reproof, correction etc.

    You can become more like God via theosis/divinization and man inherited death, not sin

    Those who are born of the Spirit and have the Spirit can see that the gospel is preached as well as foreshadowed in the old testament. Bible says the gospel is to the Jew first, then the Gentile. And it says salvation is of the Jews. Old covenant faithful saints have a place with the born...

    The social gospel?

    Amen...it is both eating His flesh and drinking His blood....as well as doing God's will, since Jesus said His meat was to do the Father's will. Doing His will leads to life. And this is what Jesus said to those who were saying "Lord, Lord" etc...only he who does the will of my Father in...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Think we are having a communication problem. Anyone can share their thoughts and ask questions. But not try to force people to answer them as if they have a right to do that when they don't. "Have a blessed day" was my way of saying good bye, as in terminating my participation in this...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Sister, I dont know you, and you don't know me. We are just two people on the internet having a conversation. You could be the Queen of Sheba and it wouldn't matter. As I said you are not my teacher. Don't think anybody asked you for an apology. You came flying in here making assumptions...

    The social gospel?

    We all have our issues and I don't think it's sin to "want" love and acceptance for our own sake, it is in the nature of our humanity, but we can die out to "needing" it and living for it. And love for others can make one want or long to be with them, in fellowship or in communication with them...

    The social gospel?

    Why would I need correction for praying and looking to God ABOVE Epi? It's wrong of you to go around making unseemly false assumptions and accusations just because of disagreeing with you on certain things, and I just corrected you didn't I? I despise new age Christianity and have often fought...

    The social gospel?

    Sister I can't keep up with this thread, but happened to see this. We can die out to our need to be valued by others. If the Lord God Almighty, King of heaven and earth, values us and has chosen us in Him, of what value is being valued by men? Valued or not valued by men is all dung waiting...

    The social gospel?

    ok, so what then is the "much" that was given to us, that a corresponding much is required? How can we render much if we haven't been given much? What does it mean to have Christ in us? What does it mean that our new man has been created in His image? Is there any flaw or lack or shortcoming in...

    The social gospel?

    Sure you're not overthinking it? Jesus healed the paralytic...to show that He had power on earth to forgive sins. Under the Law curses of sickness and demonic oppression and barrenness etc were penalties for disobeying the Law........Jesus went around healing the sick and casting out demons...

    The social gospel?

    Christ in us the hope of glory is a lie? The engrafted Word a lie? You might not have seen my post where I said this, but as you are fond of saying that "from whom much is given much is required"....what on earth have we been given then....not much at all according to your gospel. THAT is the...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    No I don't think so....tReachery is betrayal......"tEAchery" is acting like a teacher by treating adult equals as if they were kids and you had authority over them. I meant the latter....no hard feelings. I don't know what your reasons would be for wearing such a sign, but welcome to the club...
