on this point, i agree with you wholeheartedly. To believe otherwise is deluded and a real sad shame.

Im asking because i want to know what you mean when you say 'know' Jesus. What does that mean to you? I know what it means to me. yep, I agree. So it requires something of us. And that is where righteousness comes into the picture. "A righteous person will live by reason of faith'...

What does it mean to 'know' Jesus?

i think you've misunderstood me. No one is claiming you have to be a perfect person. But you have to accept the fact that God has certain requirements to be met for salvation. the first is faith in Christ. But it has to be a real faith...one that motivates a person to 'righteous acts and...

his blood is a provision ONLY for those who put faith in it. No one has the 'right' to salvation. We are sinners, therefore the only 'right' we have is death. That is all we deserve because we are sinners. Romans 6:23 For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting...

righteousness does have something to do with salvation....the scriptures have much to say about righteousness. romans 1:16 , God’s power for salvation to everyone having faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek; 17 for in it God’s righteousness is being revealed by reason of faith and...

I agree, Jesus blood is the means by which a christian can approach God to receive forgiveness of sins. We can have a righteous standing before God ONLY because of Jesus blood. But we must never forget that one who has approached God, must also work in harmony with Gods spirit. That means...

to save the argument going on, you are both (robbie and prentis) correct... you are just presenting it from two perspectives. We are judged according to two things 1. righteousness. “If your righteousness [or virtue] does not abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by...

its not a scary fear its a reverential fear of God... to have reverence for God means to have great respect for him and that respect in turn motivates a person to reject wrongdoing. Thats why proverbs says that the fear of God is the 'beginning of wisdom'..... because having such reverential...

The "In Christ" doctrine has freed me from a life of religion, subjectivism, and legalism. The "In Christ " doctrine has given me a life of peace and rest in Christ. Paul said to the Philippians, "That I might be found in him, not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which...

Christ had no need to over come his fleshly body because it was perfect. Do you know what the 'anti-christ' means? I get the feeling you have a completely different idea of it then me. Care to give a definition of anti-christ?

i agree that it is a demonic teaching It has caused many to leave christianity because they cannot comprehend how a God of love could threaten non believers with such a vile cruel sadistic fate. If a person did the same thing to their pet dog, that person would be jailed....but here we have...

no way! Jesus was perfect in everything he said and did. I dont know about anyone else, but i surely am far from perfect.

the other reason why we christians would not want to be involved in politics is because we do not have the right to rule over other people....only God has that eternal right to rule mankind. So if we are voting for some bloke to be our ruler, then where does God fit into that picture??? We...

Peter became overwhelmed with a 'fear of man' and that caused him to stumble for a short time. But it wasnt long before he regained composure and became a pillar of strength to the new congregation. Its a sterling example of how we too may stumble at times, but if we imitate Peters example...

In the 'image' of God means that we were created with Gods attributes...his love, wisdom, justice and power. Those 4 attritbutes are what set us apart from the animals. We can express Gods attributes more fully when we understand his laws and standards. Moses was the original writer of...

Doctors dont recommend a person smoke the stuff though.... there are other forms of natural medicines that can be used for pain relief... marijuana is still a toxin and its use still violates Gods requirement to keep ourselves clean. fornication is not illegal in many places either...neither...

until a person is resurrected, they are dead though. So they are all unconscious until they are risen. when Jesus told the man he would be with him in paradise, he could not have meant 'on that specific day' because Jesus was dead for 3 days. the other problem is that the greek word for...

smoking any sort of poisonous toxin is a sin because it defiles the body that you, as a christian, should have dedicated to God. 2Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in...

Very true Prentis. We do well to remember Jesus words 'Pay back therefore Caesars things to Caesar, but Gods things to God' There is a balance to strike... we pay our taxes and obey the laws of the land.... but we dont overstep the commands of God, or our allegiance to God, in order to do so.
