    1John 3:5-6

    Hi Brakelite, You may be thinking of haz27 or Barny. Those are names that haz uses on other sites as he propagates his version of the scriptures. All I can say haz is that I do not agree with your exegesis of the Word of God. You are reading into the word of God (eisegesis) your own meanings...

    Col 3 weekly devotion

    "Men, love your women"? Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives... Husbands, love your wives is much more personal and accurate and is more in line with "as Christ loved the Church", since He is the Bridegroom and the Church is the Bride (wife). "Don't be bitterly angry with them"? We are...

    Hi Guys, I owe Haz a reply, but will be away for another 3 days camping and fishing with my boys. Axehead

    Col 3 weekly devotion

    That verse is for women, and not for men to hold over them. Here are our (men) verses and we should concentrate on them. 1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of...

    1John 3:5-6

    One thing that I have a problem with is your "spiritually discerned" interpretation of 1 Cor._5:1. 1Co_5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. Notice, his...

    1John 3:5-6

    Hey brother Haz, Just a quick message to you as I have some things to attend to. I see what you are saying now and am in agreement with you. I do have some questions (more for clarification than anything else). Will talk later, Axehead

    Love?

    Even Jesus displayed His love for His Father through obedience. Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always...

    Does one need to study the bible?

    What importance do you place on knowing Him after the Spirit? And notice, that I am providing a lot of Word. 2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. John 14:17 Even the...

    The Critical Link Between Belief and Obedience

    Final judgement belongs to God, but we are to discern who we "keep company with". And we don't judge them that are "without", but we do "judge" them that are "within". 1Co_5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or...

    We never arrive at the point where we can tell Jesus: "Ok, Jesus, I read the book, I see how it is done and I will take it from here". That is exactly the problem today with Christianity. The "Centrality of Christ" is only an interesting concept and a nice phrase, today. Our ontological...

    Sandy Hook - what really happened?

    Born_Again, Here is a good article you can read and check out the comments, too. Sandy Hook Hoax If you want to learn about the "City of London", google "Empire of the Cities" or watch: City of London Learn about the "District of Columbia Act of 1871". Check this, but google for more...

    The Critical Link Between Belief and Obedience

    All sin is lawlessness. All sin has negative repercussions and will bring forth death. Rom_8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom_8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye...

    The Critical Link Between Belief and Obedience

    You are saying that as long as they are "believing", they cannot be charged with any sin, since they are "not under the law". Well, belief is active and true belief means one is walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the lust of the flesh (unbelief, putting oneself back under the law)...

    The Critical Link Between Belief and Obedience

    Again, if we only take 1 or 2 scriptures while ignoring the rest, we come to an unbalanced view of God and man. Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run...

    19 year old pre-school teacher shot dead by police.

    You are correct. If you enter into contract with Caesar then don't complain when Caesar enforces the contract. The thing is, that most people don't know when they are entering into contract and then are shocked and surprised with the ensuing contract enforcement.

    The Critical Link Between Belief and Obedience

    Amen! We need the "whole counsel of God", otherwise He would have only given us a few verses.

    1John 3:5-6

    Not a problem, Haz. I read your other posts and I think we are in general agreement. Have a blessed weekend. Axehead Hi justaname, Sorry, I missed this one. And, in another one of your posts I absolutely agree that we should not spiritualize all sin as "spiritual sins". When Christ arose...

    Why do Protestants / Evangelicals not kneel during service?

    The emphasis in the NT by and large is the internal posture of the heart and individual liberty to worship the Lord. Even as a Catholic, long ago I never liked kneeling. I was too tall and the pews were too narrow and if the person in front of me chose to sit (which did happen), I would be...

    19 year old pre-school teacher shot dead by police.

    Would you say "trusting in government" and "rendering to Caesar" are two different things? I would. One is idolatry and the other is obedience to the Lord. You can render to Caesar without trusting in government. Frankly, What is trustworthy about any government? Only the Lord is faithful and...

    Fortunately, we don't have to think about scenarios and personal actions ahead of time. As we walk in the Spirit, God will lead us to do His will, whether people agree with our actions (or lack of actions) or not. Many times, Jesus could have been accused of "not doing enough", with all the...
