12 In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy Luke 12:12 Believe the word of God.

Good luck with that. In 3 days it will begin.

I've never read the book myself, but Paul and Jesus both taught about bondage to sin, and Martin Luther expounded at length on the bondage of the will. Perhaps you're asking the wrong people and should read the work of the one credited with rediscovering the gospel while still a member of the...

Yes and that doctrine is identified as hypocrisy.

Jesus never taught this, but actually spoke of rewards to those who offered as little as a cup of water to His disciples for His names sake. I've read the scriptures many times and they clearly teach that condemnation is the result of rejecting Christ and His gospel, not of ignorance of Him or...

Josephus ' historic account of Christ is exactly one sentence, but He did have more to say about John the Baptist and an expectation among his contemporary brethren that the Son of God would be returning at the head of the Roman Legions in response to the Jewish rebellion against Rome, though...

If by Josephus, you're referring to Flavius Josephus, then you're confused. Flavius was his given Roman name as a historian to Caesar, but he was born a Levitical priest in Judah, lived off tithes, and only acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God, without ever being a disciple as far as the...

Yes, but He paid the redemption price for all and He alone is the judge of those that reject Him, not you or I. There are two judgments in scripture. The judgement of the saints at His return and a thousand years later, the great white throne judgement. Those who received the "mark of the beast"...

This is what is referred to by the worldly courts as prejudice and bias, God just calls it sin and rebellion. Good luck with that. If you are unwilling to submit to the brethren, God Himself will deal with you. Be forewarned, He's out in His woodshed right now picking out a switch. God is not...

Not really. A Christian is only perfected in the sense of "completion" by the Holy Spirit. God does through us what we are unable to do ourselves because of our old and base nature, but in the resurrection we shall know as we are known, for we shall be like Him and without sin. Your...

I just wanted to mention that the fed controls the prime rate by altering that rate on government bond sales, treasury bonds. They have no such control on cryptocurrency so its existence diminishes their ability to control the money supply and influence inflation. Without such controls in place...

You're very proficient at slandering Protestants and Catholics. You'd be hard pressed to find two Catholics or two Protestants that even believe all the same things. I would recommend that for your sake, you stop breaking the commandment in giving false testimony about your neighbors.

First, I'd like to say that it's refreshing to see a new face on the forums and another soul building a testimony under his real name. Judging by your age, if you're a California native, you'd have had opportunity to see my favorite band "live back in the day." Now, regarding scripture, most...

I'm inclined to believe this, but I'm also inclined to be believe that angels can do the same things demons are able to do, a bit like the cartoons with the little angel on one shoulder whispering in one ear, the little devil on the other. It's comical in the cartoons but God calls the angels...

I don't disagree with this, but by this definition you won't see a single "true Christian " until the resurrection. We have not yet recieved the redemption of our bodies without sin. It sounds like you're back on the right track now. Keep reading scripture, praying for understanding, and...

He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor...

No, if you've seen a real Christian, you've seen someone being renewed in the image of God and joined to His Son by His Spirit.

No, Jesus said quite plainly that God is Spirit and scripture teaches quite plainly that He entered creation in the person of His Son. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24...

I understood your opinion, but I don't believe that anything people experience is random. I think that the "age of enlightenment" has made most the Earth's population into practical atheists.

Perhaps because modern medication treats symptoms rather than causes and Jesus isn't walking around the world casting out spirits and healing the sick. My bachelors degree is in biological science and I took more than one class in physiology and have a reasonable grip on the subject (it was my...
