    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    To repent means to turn from our sinful ways and start obeying God's law. The water baptism signifies the washing away of our past sins. After repenting and being baptized in the name of Jesus it would be foolish for us to turn around and willingly break God's commandments. If we make an honest...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    I didn't fail to mention it, I made my point with the verses I post. Yes Paul is teaching that you have to earn your salvation by works. Let's take at an example when person sit back and do nothing. Yon can read the whole story on your own, I'am skipping down to the part inthe story where the...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Think about what Paul is saying here in (Gal. 6 (v.3) For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. (v.4) But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. The book says let every man prove his own...

    Formulating the process of the Holy Ghost

    Let’s go into a story, and get an example, because we wanna take a look and see the changes that we have to make in our lives to be able to receive the gift Holy Ghost. Because as we read earlier the first thing for us to do is to repent and start keeping the commandments. Let’s go into John...

    Faith with works is believing with obedience

    God had Peter to clearly warn us about some of Paul’s writing. (2Peter:3:15-16) (v.15) And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; (v.16) As also in all his epistles, speaking in...

    Formulating the process of the Holy Ghost

    Let’s take the time out and see how do we receive the Holy Ghost and if the Holy Ghost just started in the New Testament or was the Holy Ghost in the Old Testament. Now when we talk about the Holy Ghost we will also see what the Holy Ghost does and also in the New Testament we may come across...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    It’s starts off with repentance, that’s one of the first thing Jesus says when he got started in his ministry, Jesus says in Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. You must repent, give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Sin according...

    Faith and Works.

    Some of the great patriarchs in (Heb.11) gave up a lot, some even their lives in exchange for their soul. You see they had great faith (belief) that their souls (bodies) would be raised at the first resurrection. And some of you won’t even give up some of the littlest things like, going to...

    Faith with works is believing with obedience

    Jesus warned us that the road to salvation is straight and narrow and that only a few of us will find it. Many are traveling down the wrong road, which leads to destruction. This is because many of us have heard about salvation but few of us want to do what is necessary to get salvation (many...

    How to put on Christ

    I didn't use those words you using, I use the book KJV, I use the apostle Paul words. I'll take mine chances with writing of Paul, because he have a crown waiting for him, and I know Jesus taught him and he's teaching me how to put on Christ and get eternal life. So you can have your zero, I'll...

    How to put on Christ

    Hi.....what I did was post Paul in Roman 13:7-10, now if you are a true Christian you will not have a problem with God's word among the apostles, who are teaching us. The last thing you want to be is a stiff neck individual going against the word of God. It's ok to ask for help to understand the...

    How to put on Christ

    Let's go into details on how to put on Christ, because Pauls says in (Rom. 13:7-10) (v.7) Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. (v.8) Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth...

    Bible teaching of works and reward

    We must realize, that it is the keeping of God’s holy laws that separates the righteous from the unrighteous and Saints from the Sinners. (Titus: 3:8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    That was right because in the scriptures it’s written in Numbers 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Jesus says in Matthew 24: 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. "Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: For the Lord hath a...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Only a true Christian who serve the lord in spirit and in truth. Who keep the commandments, statues and judgements. In the scriptures it's written in proverb 1: 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    I agree, Paul is talking about our spiritual mind set with Christ, keeping his commandments, statues and Judgement, and showing forth good works. "Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12). Because remember...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Now we can go back to Roman chapter 8 and read it with understanding. Take another look at John before you begin to read this next set of verses. Jesus said in 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...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Once again let's let the Book do the talking. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Your are a dead man walking if you are not quicken by the spirit of God. Pay close attention to Paul here. Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins: We were dead in our trespass and sin. This would be a spiritual death not physical. Ephesians 2: 2 Wherein...
