The only kind of Christian I am aware of is one that abides in Christ. Are there others? John 15 Is there another kind of Christian other than one that loves God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and neighbor as themself? Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all...

My mistake. Wrong thread.

We follow a higher law than men's ideas of morality. You don't want to get on the plane of morality with men as they all have their version of morality, even from the Bible and the attacks and debate are endless as men compare each other's "morality". And then, they have their own penalties for...

Handwringing because they are misguided and ill-informed. Christian religious organizations mix the OT Law with NT grace and have created a hybrid belief system that does not give life and only produces introspection and condemnation. Christianity is not a belief-system, it is Jesus Christ...

Is this thread about the Security of Believers or really about if a Believer can fall away or not? One that is believing and is abiding in Christ has wonderful security. The Word doesn't express much hope for one that is unbelieving and not abiding in Christ. Only the Lord knows "them that...

Authority came from God to Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ to His followers through the Holy Spirit. Authority is the evidence of the Life of Christ in a person. John_5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; John_5:27 And hath given him...

Found in heaven is Jesus Christ. Yes, there are laws on earth and there are penalties if you break them. What is the penalty for not keeping the Sabbath, for committing adultery. Don't tell me that Christ freed us from the penalty but not from the law for there is no such thing as law with...

What happened to the people of God in the OT that did not obey the Sabbath law? What happened to those who committed adultery? Deu_22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt...

I'm sorry I must have missed something. Who is talking about whether it is moral for a Christian to be rich or not? Christianity is not about morality. If it is, we are truly stuck in the OT and subject to the penalties of the moral law.

Moderators: OFF TOPIC: But please consider. Every Christian belief system, pseudo Christian belief system, false Christian belief system and any other belief system for that matter, is fair game for scrutinizing with the Word of God. We should not protect any belief system and give them special...

There is great security for those that are "In Christ" and abide"In Christ". In fact, no one can pluck them out of the Lord's hand. Jesus speaking to his disciples and all who follow Him down through the ages. John_15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered...

There is a very good reason why Jesus said this in the same conversation: John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. How much more simpler can it be after Jesus clarifies? Axehead

That's right, Butch. They apply to Believers. If one believes the 24 verses pertain to believers there is no reason to refute them. They certainly do not apply to non-believers. Heb_3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living...

Phoneman, Maybe this will help: Ex. 20:1-17 The Ten Commandments were given to the Israelites at Sinai. 2 Ch. 31:3; Neh. 8:2, 3, 8, 14, 18; Ps 19:7 God gave Israel a single law which included the Ten Commandments. Mal. 4:4 Israel was commanded to obey the Law of Moses; the law included...

Rom_7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Do you think the law has dominion over Christians? We both know the law will not die. So, the only way to be free from it is for men to die. And Christians...

So, what do you think "as under the law", means? Paul contrasts "them that are under the law" to him "as under the law". 1Co_9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law...

Regarding Paul's observance of the Sabbath: 1Co_9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; That same Paul, who knew how to act "as under the law" to those "under the...

The prosperity message in Africa is bizarre. It has morphed into something so much more bizarre than the West. Reminds me of the parable of making "disciples twice the child of hell...". Wealthy Nigerians, Pastors Spend $225 million on Private Jets Private Jets for Jesus Where are the "sheep...

Just a polite little interjection if y'all don't mind. Getting "EXPERIENCE" is a two-fold action: Hearing the Word and Doing it. Not just Hearing (or reading, or studying). John_7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. John_7:17 If any man will do...
