We preach/proclaim Jesus Christ and His Kingdom!!! Failure to understand that is why we get things wrong!! Now the church is to edify - which mean teach in religious matters - so we might teach how because of His grace and mercy we are able to be saved, but we are preaching that He is!!! That...

Over and over we just make it too hard - too religious - too much leaning on our understanding!! Christianity it just as simple as seeking Jesus Christ and listening to what He says. That is what is if meant by following Jesus! It take a little bit of faith to believe He is there and start...

Maybe you are missing what you wrote and the scripture that proved you wrong?? You wrote: Yet we read : James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. M So you do not match up with what James wrote which is Scriptures!!!! How did you miss this and get it...

James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Your conclusion is wrong as the above verse shows!!! All verse match what God is doing, but understanding comes from His voice - not our own interpretation! So the problem is the interpretation! Now faith results in...

YES :) SO RIGHT!!! I just find it amazing that anyone could really know the Lord and not come to know that our salvation is not based on works, yet at the same time we do hear instructions from Him that mean we do something for Him, and that usually means helping others in some way. That...

YES - :)

Real faith in Jesus Christ means you are going to do some things He asks you to do - simply because you hear Him by faith and as the Lord of lords, he askes you to do things!! Like this morning He again asked me to come a post on this forum (which He hasn't done for awhile now) So I am posting...

I didn't look at the vid - and that is because there is an obvious problem even with the title "Use the Devil's traits to defeat him!!!! We don't and do not want to ever use the traits of the devil to defeat anyone, including the devil!!!!!!!!! What we Christians are supposed to be doing - and...

The above is absolutely correct - but it is not the full explanation!! How exactly did Jesus humble Himself and serve???? And if we understand the how He humbled Himself then we to know how we are to humble ourselves - but if we don't complete the explanation we easily just stay in our pride...

What's sad about the above statement is that "Humility" is having the proper self-esteem!! But the person into pride can't even see this, because they have been blinded by their pride!! Jesus Christ, the Lord our God, is always with us and is even looking to guide your steps. If a person...

Focus on a relationship with Jesus Christ!!! That means communication between you and Him!! And that basically comes down to "Hear, O Israel", the foremost command! Now, if a person doesn't know the Lord personally, they will come up with all sorts of ideas - and they don't even know they are...

Listening to God and doing what He says is humility not pride!! Asking God for help is in fact and in deed humbling ourselves before God! hum·ble [ˈhəmb(ə)l] VERB humbling (present participle) lower (someone) in dignity or importance: "I knew he had humbled himself to ask for my help"

A quick look at the internet for a definition of pride resulted in this statement concerning the Sin of Pride: “The Hebrew word translated “pride” in this verse means to act in a way toward others that makes it seem that you believe your are better than they are…” Attributed to the site...

I kind of like it, but don't we need to know more?? Don't we actually need to know Jesus Christ and listen to Him? Isn't that what's written - that we need to listen to Jesus Christ????? So then a spirit of pride tells you to go beyond listening to Jesus Christ to leaning on your own...

AUH :) I have been waiting for this to come up, and I am frankly surprised that it didn't get brought up sooner!! The answer to you comment comes in understanding that we have words in the English language that while the same word, they have completely different meaning!! For example: If I...

What did the Lord speak to you? He told me earlier that I am not arrogant, I am bold. It was He who told me: So if you are accused of being arrogant or anything else for that matter - do you not take that thought to the Lord and hear from Him and then put your faith in Him? This is what I am...

Arrogance is an offspring of pride!! Or have you not heard that from Him? Yet boldness is an offspring of God!! 1 Sam 2:1 Then Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD, My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation...

Matthew - I am not telling you that you need to be corrected by men! I am telling you that you need to be corrected by God!!!! That is why I tell you to stop leaning on your own understanding and seek Jesus Christ and His words to you!!! So why did you misunderstand what I am telling you - is...

You see turning people to Jesus Christ to listen to Him as "pride:, because you don't turn and listen to Him: Pride shows up in little statements like "That sounds like pride to me:, because that statement shows that it is about your thinking! And it shows up in " i still disagree", because...

Again, that is wrong! There is not good pride!!! All pride is bad!! Our pride is what keeps us from seeking Jesus Christ and listening to Him!! An evil spirit of pride, like that snake in the garden, wants you to think you can be like God knowing good and evil. Wow, Adam and Eve didn't even...
