Why would any human being want to go through this life down here on earth without the fellowship and authority of Jesus Christ in their life? I guess if you can answer that one, you can figure out why they don't wish to dwell with Christ for eternity.

Actually, the Christian is not bound by man's silly laws, but on the other hand, try telling the police officer that you are "under grace". The only law the Christian is under is the Law of Christ, but it actually carries much more responsibility with it than any law ever written by man or God...

Rape is demonic. Rev_18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. We forget so easily that men who open themselves up...

When our hearts are captured by a doctrine which does not conform us to godliness we can have no understanding of spiritual things. We will remain in spiritual darkness blinded by religious traditions which do not fulfill the Law of Christ. This is how covenant is broken with God.

Just got back from 10 days in Brazil. While visiting a friend's house church which is networked with house churches in 13 cities, it was nice to find out that they understand the scriptures as saying that Jesus Christ is our Sabbath Rest. Really cool what God is doing there.

I find it comforting as I would not want Him to miss any important prayers. He is omniscient.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

The Christian life is about abiding in Christ so that His life, (character and behavior and attitude) is manifest in our mortal body. It is about letting the Perfect One live through us. Deny self, and choose to bring out will into harmony with His. It's not about us being the best we can, it...

Jim, do you really think everyone is so obtuse to not notice you are attacking, also in a backhanded sort of way? Don't you see it? Why not concentrate on Christ and not "two or three people". There are also "two or three" people that disagree with doctrines of other "christian" religions...

Just to make an observation about Scripture. Many times Scripture talks about things that did not happen at the time a particular passage or book was written. That is why the Word of God is "prophetic". The Holy Spirit sees the future.

If you fellowship with your wife, are you practicing a religion? I think most of you are missing what it means to fellowship with Christ. It has nothing to do with religion. You are not practicing a religion when fellowshipping with Christ. You are experiencing relationship and life.

The Bible speaks of "true religion" which is seldom found, today. But bad religion is rampant. Having a "religious spirit" is understood to mean being a hypocrite. The root meaning of religion is "to bind" or "to tie". Webster's Collegiate Dictionary traces the word back to an old Latin word...

Salvation is Christ. Christ is salvation. Heaven is not heaven if Jesus Christ is not there. And you either have Jesus Christ or you don't. There are only two choices.

You may not be a Christian if you do not have rest. Which could mean you have not received Christ by faith. Faith does not come by the works of the law and rest certainly does not come by works. Rest is the opposite of working for your salvation. It is impossible to work for the infilling of the...

I notice that most conversations here always gravitate towards religion and away from Jesus Christ. What do you think that implies? Religion is very competitive. Man based organizations always are. Religion has always had this problem of not being able to keep the youth or true seekers of God...

That is a very common reaction from Catholics, Aspen. My mother said the same thing to me when I was joined to Christ (born again) and He severed me from Roman Catholicism by His Spirit after 3 months of praying and reading the NT. I did not even know that would happen. She did not understand at...

Amen, Angelina! That's the God I know, too.

You can be assured of salvation by abiding in Christ. You must abide in Him till the end. Don't give up the race, halfway. Abiding is not a one time thing. John 15

Pom, it's about Jesus Christ not you. You haven't become a good tree you are a branch in the tree. Nothing good about you. The tree gives you life and the life of Christ in you bears fruit. But, you have to bring your will into harmony with the Lord's will. You must decrease so that He can...

One thing they don't have that Christians do is the Spirit of God.
