    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    We are to seek first the kingdom... until we find ourselves walking in an eternal realm of life, peace, and eternal love in a miraculous supernatural light. God wants to give us His rest, but our attitude, surrender and faith are required. He gives grace to the humble. Coming up on the...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    I don't think that many understand the depth of the gospel and the power available to us by the faith of Christ. Take the last statement from Acts 10:43. "whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." The believing INTO Him is not about human beliefs, it is about a gift of...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Willing to accept a religious proposition, you mean. This is not biblical at all. Jesus rejects people who have a dubious character, not wanky beliefs. Beliefs register to God like opinions. Faith, on the other hand, overcomes sin and walks with God in holiness. He rejects the religiously smug...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Agreed. But who said actually following Christ (not just pretending to) was easy? The easy way is the wide way where people conform to a self-serving ideology that doesn't actually know God at all. It follows the crowd. But only a very few will be honest enough to repent and wait on the Lord...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    You are judging FROM the rabbit trail. The wages of sin is death...eternal truth. That's not the rabbit trail. The rabbit trail is: "for ME (because I'm special) God bends the law in my favour. For ME the wages of sin is not death." Like Agag who thought the shadow of death was in the past...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    The wages of sin is death. That is an everlasting truth. Jesus EMPOWERS people by grace through faith to overcome sin just as He did. But there are very FEW followers of Jesus anymore. Most follow a decoy religion about Jesus...turning Him into an idol or genie to be exploited. But such will be...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    This reasoning is not of God. Again with the faulty reasoning and misunderstanding the scriptures. The equation listed in Rom 6:23 is not a preference choice. Both sides remain true. God judges righteously without preference. Those who have received grace will be judged harder, not get off...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    No, God will have mercy on whom He wills. He does not tell people who that is in advance. Show a little wisdom, humility and fear of the Lord. Buck the trend... ...or not. :rolleyes:

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    You are missing the part where the elect are saved for glory. Do you think that the sermon on the mount only lasted for a year or so so that once Jesus was crucified and resurrected... the meek no longer inherit the earth? Saints are saved for glory. But God's mercy extends to those who DO what...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    ...yes, and also of the elect.

    Stages of Growth in Christ (crucial to know)

    Pretty close. A few minor inaccuracies.

    Stages of Growth in Christ (crucial to know)

    Why are so many believers stuck in the initial phase of the Christian walk? Is it because of unwillingness, or a lack of knowledge about how to proceed....or both? In this episode we will begin to uncover the stages of growth in Christ and their importance, as it is laid out in the Bible.

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Hey Azim, :) I was thinking of doing an episode on "we are living in a simulation". There is a lot of biblical evidence for this....going from a deep sleep to awakening into the light of eternal reality. <><

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Don't be fooled by the foolish purveyors of fiction. These would say...I still sin although I have already been delivered from sin. These same thinkers would say that they have raised the dead but that the dead have not yet realized it yet. A fictional belief system. When someone claims...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    I preach and teach the truth, and I get cat-callers who respond with theories and platitudes. I write, not for the doubters...but for a potential truth-seeker that is ready to humble himself/herself, and be ready to fear the Lord. But wisdom is in very short supply these days. Religious hubris...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    A strawman and utterly self-aggrandizing. You are arguing that a puddle is wetter than a lake. As usual your content is laughable and with evil intent. Such shallowness can only come from a deceiver. The devil believes Jesus is the Christ too..the demons called out to Him. Your spirit is...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    You are holding the statement from the wrong end. If you had faith the size of a mustard seed you would move mountains. So will you claim to move mountains too? All because you figure you have the same kind of faith as provides the eternal rest of God? The truth sets us free...from sin...fully...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    That comes from the doctrines of men...to name and claim "positionally" what no one actually experiences or that God notices. Jesus said that many claim Him as Lord but Jesus says "I never knew you:...and that should strike fear in the hearts of shallow religionists. But a shallow religionist is...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    While facts are good....they can make someone think they have grasped more than they actually have. Facts don't set people free. The power of God (grace) does that...and only the truth has that power...the power IS of the truth. It is what we experience OF the truth...that we are transported to...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    The bible is not written as a news report. Facts are involved...but people confuse facts as truth. Jesus said I am the truth. Jesus is not the facts. There is no relationship to facts beyond a mental assent. Hence the superficiality of much of Christendom. God indeed reveals facts about...
