Like I said, the Lord will have to show you! I'll be looking for you in the crowd with muddy faces. Those who will not give the chosen people of God their due, who think they are better than God's people.

Truth, is it possible that Paul used the illustration of the "wild olive branches," the Gentile Church, being grafted into the "natural olive tree," Israel, because the "wild olive branches" are inferior to the "natural olive tree?"

Some of those in the Church have not figured out that they are the "wild olive branch" that has been grafted into the "natural olive tree" which is Israel. No one can show it to them, the Lord will have to do it. They think they are the chosen, and Israel has been set out to pasture. They are...

Marymog, it's a hard thing to say, and I don't want to be the one who says it, but I have no choice! The RCC is pretending to be God! They are telling us that man cannot be saved without one of their priests sprinkling you with water. They are making themselves equal with God in your...

We're not talking about if you are water baptized, it's about the purpose of water baptism. You and I are both water baptized, one sprinkled, and the other by full immersion. That doesn't matter nearly as much as the purpose! Your salvation is by faith in Christ, which is Grace, plus the...

When Paul was facing death, he said, 2 Tim. 4:5-6 "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:" You better keep a firm hold on it, they will take it away if you let them!

The truth if ever I have heard it!

It is the tip of the iceberg of delusion, as you said, but their false salvation is the mother of it all!

This is so important that I may get into trouble saying it, but so be it, the truth is more important. The RCC is nobody's friend, they are the enemy! Why? They lead no one to Christ! They separate from Christ as I have shown in my last 2 posts. The works they perform in water baptism for the...

Let me show you something, Marymog. Those under the Law of Moses rejected Christ when He came. They chose not to believe He was the Christ. They chose to keep the Law, in which Christ told them "did not Moses give you the Law, yet none of you have kept it." They were trying to be obedient...

That's amazing, because I can understand the King's English better than your 21st American. Guess I've been doing it so long I got the knack.

If we do what He says for the right reason! If we do it for the wrong reason, guess what? Grace is made void! Salvation is by Grace alone, period. There is no Grace in water baptism. Water baptism is obedience in confessing the Godhead, what They did through your faith.

I suppose one could make a mountain out of a mole hill.

For me it was the reality that the Spirit of God was actually dwelling in me. The sin I never gave thought, suddenly became a constant guilt. Then I noticed that sin began to be less and less. I noticed my old friends, most of them, were no longer my friends. I found new friends and a new...

22 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? The stark reality of this Psalm portrays the Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Gospels narrate the fact of the Crucifixion, this Psalm portrays the feelings of the...

It is Finished

I thought you were using Eph. 4 as a text for apostles. Not a bad question, looks to me like a bad answer on my part. Maybe I should pay more attention, lol.

Christ hand picked 12 and named them apostles, they were chosen for the official office of apostleship. Later He hand picked a 13th apostle for a special apostleship to the Gentiles. It would be Paul. These 13 men held the office of apostleship. The names of the original 12 are written in the...

At least you're not denying the Cross, that is when you get yourself into trouble.

I see it the same way! Christ's faithfulness that we are to copy. The Greek can go either way, the reason for the argument. But then again I see everything Christ did as our example. Even to the faith He placed in the Father in His humanity.
