Amen, should the one who is a slave to sin, choose to be delivered by the hand of Jesus Christ, by faith, Jesus Christ will respond. Many have the testimony of turning from their sins and turning towards Christ. Heb_11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to...

Satan is always trying to separate us from the Person of Christ and he will do it with religious concepts, "theology", works, etc. We must keep in mind that Truth is a Person, not religious or philosophical concepts. There is only one Person who is Truth, Jesus, and He wants to live in us today...

How about some Scriptures to think about? Act_2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Act_3:18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ...

Hey there Weber, You are preaching a false gospel of false security that destroys and makes void the life of obedience and the walk of holiness that is an imperative from Jesus Christ. Your teaching that people receive immunity by "praying a prayer" or "walking the aisle" makes void any reason...

If God is just then He will not punish any man for anything that he could not possibly avoid; Every punishment supposes that the offending person may have avoided the offence for which he is punished. Otherwise, to punish him would be resoundingly unjust and inconsistent with the character of...

Interesting dichotomy is that grace is not really free. It will cost you everything to follow Jesus. He requires no less than our WHOLE HEART. There are many such dichotomy's in the Bible. And it is because of this that God confounds the natural mind and He did it on purpose. He began to...

The context of "remaineth a rest" is Heb. 3:18,19 - "they should not enter His rest...because of unbelief" (Paul talking about OT Israel). The "Rest that remaineth has come and is realized in the Finished Work of Jesus Christ. If one is not resting in Christ then they are in unbelief. Who...

For not being a "Calvinist" you are following their script perfectly. Ok, let's say you are not in the Calvinist camp, that does not change the fact that your theology is very Calvinistically oriented. You are using the exact scriptures they use. I am glad you are fully coming out and being...

Many are called but few are chosen? Why? Because the many that are called don't answer the call. They exercise their will to reject Christ while others exercise their will to receive Him. It takes an act of the will to receive or reject a gift. A gift is not forced on anyone. That is LOVE...

Ok, sorry for the delay. Psa 35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Joseph's brothers faked his death. They threw him in a pit. Then, when the passing Midianites arrived, the brothers dragged Joseph up and sold him to...

Christ is still the great stumblingblock to many. Luk_24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. These...

Actually, I am quoting it just fine. Your understanding of it is just different than mine.

The "rest" spoken of in the OT was a physical land in which they would possess and the Lord would give the Hebrews REST from their enemies. A physical land for a physical rest. No more oppression and tyranny of Egypt and no more weary wanderings in the wildnerness. Even though "the Lord had...

The doctrine of election is scriptural but the Calvinistic doctrine of Unconditional election is a perversion of Biblical election. The "T" in TULIP is for Total Depravity and it is the foundational point of Calvinism. For "Unconditional Election", "Total Depravity" is necessary. If you reject...

One does not choose the "foolishness of Christianity". One chooses or rejects Christ. The Holy Spirit which draws men to Christ, does just that. He points to Christ, not Christianity. Look around, what flavor of Christianity would the Spirit point men to? John_1:12 But as many as received...

Psa 11:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? Psa 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. Psa 11:3 If...

John later writes, "Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness" (I John 3:4). Those who advocate continued law-keeping usually define sin as the failure to keep the Old Testament Law. What they have done without knowing it is what the Pharisees did and that is...

I scratch my head at modern day Christendom, too. The answer is not to be Jew-like or Gentile-like, but rather to be Christ-like in our behaviour. If we are not Christ-like, then it matters not how Jewish one is.

Sin is more than just the transgression of the law. That is a partial truth. The Law revealed this partially in its essential purpose. The "mark that is missed" in sin is not a Law target, BUT THE CHARACTER OF GOD. I explain more fully, HERE. There are definitely many gospels of...

I put this in another thread, but it is appropriate for this thread and all threads where Christians are told to "keep the commandments of God". "keep the commandments of God". How often we have heard this verse used inappropriately (and without understanding). This is another favorite...
