I have postponed my next installment because of all the great discussions so far. Many thanks to all for working through this with me. I have been learning a great deal. 2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. What is this power that they have...

"Isn't Jesus enough for christians"? He should be more than enough. No one loves us like He does. While we were yet sinners He died for us. I once thought of a project that I wanted to do and still will do someday. I want to list all the Roman Catholic Saints that are called upon for specific...

Jesus is made unto us righeousness and sanctification... 1Co_1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: Whereby we are commanded to sin not (awakening to the righteousness of God within us). 1Co_15:34 Awake...

It is extremely significant that Mary is not mentioned at all, after Acts 1:14. There is absolutely no mention of her. Roman 16:6 does say "Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us", but there is no way to know if this was Mary, the mother of Jesus. Acts 1:14 depicts Mary praying along with...

Can you tell me why it is not?

Hi Jiggy, I was not trying to disprove God's omnipresence. Not sure how you got that. For everyone in this life who know they have free choice to do whatever they like everyday, your words don't ring true to reality. You obliterate the doctrine of sin and the doctrine of faith and the...

All men, because of the Fall are alienated from God and are now in the image and likeness of Satan, being a slave to sin. It is God's intention to conform us to the image of Christ set us free from sin to be "slaves of righteousness". He will do this, if we turn away from self and Satan and turn...

My worldview is that Jesus Christ is triumphant in all things. He has overcome the world and through Him we will overcome Satan, sin and the world, too. And, I know all things will work together for good for those that love Him, and nothing will separate us from the love of God. Not tribulation...

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, THAT IN ME ye might have PEACE. IN THE WORLD ye shall have TRIBULATION: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. In Christ - Peace A testing is coming and is already here to cause us to examine ourselves to see if we are IN HIM and HE, IN...

The Apostle John, writing to Christians says: 1Jn 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: The implication is that some Christians are walking in darkness but saying that they have fellowship with the Lord, further implying that they...

Very true! Jesus is Victor. He has triumphed over Satan and his false religion. "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have...

I don't think he looks like that but it doesn't really matter since there is no absolute dualism between God and Satan. They are not equal powers, like a good God and and a bad God. God created a choosing creature who became Satan (Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of...

Hi Jiggy, In your everyday experience do you seriously think that God has poured out His Spirit "on all flesh", the way you understand it and are communicating it to me? Or could this mean that He has poured out His Spirit on all flesh that receive Him? Doesn't that fit our experience and the...

Jigg, Before I was born again, I was separated from God and DEAD in my trespasses and sin. Even thought God is omnipresent, I was separated from him which means His life was not dwelling in me. I was deriving all of my "life" and "character" from the Devil. We either "eat" from God or we "eat"...

But Stan, this may be where the confusion is. This thread IS about our walk in Christ. We are not talking about the day of Salvation when someone is born again.

What Son of Man says is true, Stan. Maybe you could explain to us what you mean by "Believe"? What does that look like in an everyday life of a Christian. Certainly, it cannot look like what the demons definition of believe is. It must be more and I am sure we would all like to hear what it...

Very good, dragonfly. We only need to trace our lineage directly to God the Father as His adopted sons. Jesus Christ made geneaology through men, irrelevent. It does not matter any more. We only need trace our sonship to the Father by the adoption of the Spirit. John 1:12 But as many as...

Hi Stan, Thanks for trying to understand what I am talking about. What you agreed to is simply a summation of what I have already talked about. "We must decrease and He must increase". This is speaking of the Lord increasing in us and through us. It is no longer we who live but Christ lives in...

Your welcome, Arnie. I thought the brother's article was very well organized. Exactly, Son of Man! Mary also had to learn to abide in Christ and submit her will to God (Jesus Christ). Nothing was automatic for her or any other child of Adam. All have to come through the door (Jesus), repent of...

No. Taking the place of Jesus Christ and usurping His preeminence and authority violates 1 Tim_2:5.
