The Teachings of the Law of Moses This rule of life was revealed from God and accepted by Israel at Sinai, and was at no time addressed to the nations of the world. It was a peculiar form of government for a peculiar people, and accomplished a peculiar purpose in condemning the failure of man...

I think the author wants to show that faith is greater than providence. Providence confirms God's favor with that which we can see; but faith confirms all without seeing. We can always know that God works all for our good (Ro 8:28), regardless of what we see, and this continually strengthens our...

The Father knows that those reborn will never displease Him, because He’s always causing them to “please” Him (Phl 2:13). They will continually trust God to work all together for their “good” (Ro 8:28), and never require His providence for faith, though it will always be present! They are to put...

God cannot fail to "work in you to "please" Him!

Hi Dan! God keeps us aware of the evil to guard against ignorance of His will. Since He always causes us to "please Him" (Phl 2:13), we can do nothing else!!

I believe everyone who is saved and seeks truth cannot be ultimately misled (Mat 24:24). Thus hypocrites can only deceive hypocrites (blind leading the blind).

Hi and appreciate your replies! My heart is also first in the Scriptures, but also in the teachings of those who show good doctrine.

Our Father does not want us to take an affliction lightly. “A reproof enters more into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool” (Prov 17:10). But the more you take it to heart the more you gain in holiness; that, so to speak, is the goal. The Father’s discipline is intended to effect the...

Hi and thanks for your reply! It's my belief that "Rebirth" is the beginning of the eternal journey in God (if you're a genuine believer). To think God doesn't foreknow who all will choose Him is a mistake (not accusing anyone). It's not like He would have to take eternal life back (which makes...

Hi B, and thanks for the reply! It's my understanding the this manifests one who is not reborn, for all who are saved do always forgive (Col 3:13; Eph 4:32). Being unforgiving has to do with the Law (Mat 6:12, 14). God bless Friend!

God placed the “Tree of knowledge of good and evil” in the “middle of the garden” along with the “Tree of Life” (Gen 2:9). At that time, Adam and Eve only knew right and wrong by way of “commandment“ (2:16), but did not yet learn what “good and evil” was, which was evidenced by “they were both...

Hi LF! You are sounding pretty strong in the faith concerning what any believer should do about their Family. Once we establish that God is first in everything we can proceed onward in Him guiding and enabling us to be the Christian He wants us to be through "pleasing" Him," which is what He is...

“Walking in the Spirit” is something that is considered by God a permanent situation for those who are His. Even though believers still sin, they are termed walking in the Spirit because it’s what they always desire. Like Apostle Paul we never desire to sin, but we realize this is not possible...

It is evident from Scripture that there are two distinct companies, both saved by the Blood of Christ; one company on earth (Israel), and the other company within the veil in heaven (Church). Christ’s work for the earthly company is represented by the two goats, the blood of the one goat...

Thanks!

Thanks Brother, maybe catch you on another subject. God blessings to you and your Family, and God be blessed!

The articles are from an author named Miles J Stanford, "Position Papers" 1, 2 and 3 which were out of print from the Plymouth Brethren circa 1700-1900's. The martials are of-course out of print now for centuries.

It appears our understanding of Scripture varies too much from one another for debating this issue.
