    Entire Sanctification

    I have observed that some saints, who have entire sanctification through the blood of Christ, still do some entirely unsanctified things, such as use profanity, make false accusations, preach false doctrine, act selfishly, and other works of the flesh, for which of course, God will hold them...

    Biblical reconciliation: its proper meaning

    While an answer from Enoch111 is pending I would like to comment. As a child the concept of my sins being forgiven when Christ died sacrificially on the Cross seemed illogical since at that time I hadn't committed any. It took a revelation for me to fully understand that all sins past, present...

    Yeah, but you have a Canadian accent.

    Biblical reconciliation: its proper meaning

    I was reconciled to God and forgiveness for all my sins made available when the crucified Christ said "It is finished"

    The 12 tribes of Israel: They be us.

    Hi robert derrick. Some points for your attention and edification: The Greek word "ekklesia" has not been correctly translated in the English word "church". The word “church” actually comes from a different Greek word “kuriakon". Kuriakon actually means “pertaining to the lord.” It is used...

    Biblical reconciliation: its proper meaning

    Question: Does forgiving someone mean you are reconciled to them and they to you? If not, what else is needed?

    Entire Sanctification

    Some more context: 2Ti 2:14-26 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. (15) Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing...

    Freedom To Sin

    Many who have been fully in Christ Jesus and walking diligently after the Spirit have erred and strayed, falling into some sin or other due to their human weakness and the determined efforts of Satan. Jamie Buckingham writes from experience about this in his book "Where Eagles Soar". Rom 8:1...

    why God did it

    Because then it wouldn't be the end result. When I contemplate the whole panorama of what exists in the past, present, and future, it proves to me what is possible. Everything that exists in nature proves what is possible. Within the parenthetical bookends of Divine Foreknowledge and Divine...

    Hyper-Grace

    You may be thinking of this passage. These 10 verses support Paul's teachings that just because God's grace and forgiveness abound this is not a mandate to keep sinning. On the contrary, the Holy Spirit is never responsible for sin. 1Jn 3:1-10 Behold, what manner of love the Father has...

    Hyper-Grace

    The sinless perfection brigade are as blind as the hypocritical Pharisees that Jesus rebuked. I was in a fellowship that became mired in the heresy that Christians are sinless and perfect and never need to confess, repent, or ask forgiveness of anyone for anything. What a wretched man their...

    Hyper-Grace

    Walking in darkness . . . thinking no need to confess . . . pretty soon no fellowship with God. 1Jn 1:5-10 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (6) If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we...

    Strong Delusion

    Strong G646 ἀποστασία apostasia ap-os-tas-ee'-ah Feminine of the same as G647; defection from truth (properly the state), (“apostasy”): - falling away, forsake. Total KJV occurrences: 2 No, n2thelight. No genuine Christian apostasises. The great apostasy or falling away sorts out the genuine...

    Jesus 'Began' in the beginning?

    JW's are brainwashed to deny the Divinity of Christ. In their ignorance they claim he was just a man that God favoured and anointed. The Pharisees were upset when Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I Am." Joh 8:58-59 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I...

    Strong Delusion

    OK. I have never accepted the "Gap Theory", and I believe each day of the Creation Week was one rotation of the earth, however long that took back then. It is also my practice to gently advise Theistic Evolutionists that they are not Bible-believers since their position requires millions of...

    Strong Delusion

    To punish all those who stubbornly refuse to love the truth and be saved. 2Th 2:10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. When God's Will and His kindness and generosity are irreversibly held in contempt, what else is...

    Apostasy

    After Judgment Day it's not going to bother God or any of His saints. All who get saved are foreknown to God and not one will be lost. Getting morbid about apostasy and trying to set a percentage of the saved versus the unsaved seems at odds with what the Scriptures teach us about the dynamics...

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Yeah, well changing calendars and datelines messes up the 7 day sequence, and the poor old ignorant works-based cults take it rather badly. [See link & quote below] TEN DAYS THAT VANISHED After years of consultation and research, Pope Gregory XIII signed a papal bull in February 1582...

    Apostasy

    Respectfully, it don't make no difference when someone is saved, the number who are is beyond human computation.

    Strong Delusion

    Agreed, but where does Moses come into it, or was that a typo in this quote from you earlier?
