As a follow up then, we have the statement made by Jesus at the last supper about sending the Holy Spirit: And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father...

In my thinking, I'd agree with your last comment in principle. I don't think that Jesus and the Apostle Paul used the word flesh in the same way. Jesus appeared to use the word in describing the material aspect of our bodily existence and by extension what we do with it, but Paul seems to use...

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23 All truly good works issue from God through His Spirit. It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The...

You do know that this isn't the whole passage, right? People quote this frequently but pretty much always leave out verse 9 and the rest concerning our assurance of salvation. 9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak...

Ever notice how people that believe in God always want to do something for Him (as though He were incapable of doing anything Himself?) All we want is the tiniest little piece of His glory to call our own. If we steal a wee bit, He'll never notice, right? But God has chosen the foolish things of...

Why? Perhaps this isn't what you're looking for, but church history informs us that among other things, one reason for the ancient split between the churches of Rome and Constantinople was a disagreement over allowing the "laity" to keep household images of "patron saints" in place of their...

19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. Galatians 3:19 Did the Seed come and why use the word seed here at all? 12 Therefore, my...

To answer that I'd have to ask the thief who was crucified at the side of our Lord and asked to be remembered in His kingdom. Pretty sure that we are resurrected in bodies freed from sin and that the only judgment of believers is one of rewards. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My...

The problem is that people try to interpret verses out of context and in biblical interpretation, as in all communication, context is king. When trying to understand scripture you first have to ask yourself what the passage is about, what exactly is being addressed. Eg. Romans 2:6-7 isn't about...

OSAS? Once sealed, always saved?

Just an FYI, a normal day in creation is described not by morning and evening, but by evening and morning. That's why the Jews reckoned the start of day at sundown. It might seem trivial, but keeping that straight will help you understand other things as well.

18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Luke 10:18 Just curious, but how do you make this verse fit your understanding? The book of the Revelation was written about things that are, that were, and that will be.

Let's go straight to the master for this: 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have...

I'm sorry Keraz, but God is not unjust. Your studies aren't helping you if you misunderstand His character.

Your statement is erroneous because the bible does not say that Christian's will be removed before the tribulation, but actually does say the gathering of the saints occurs at the first resurrection and coincides with the return of Christ in glory. The pretribulation rapture doctrine is not...

Actually Joel Rosenberg, although Hebrew by birth, professes Christ as a born again believer. Also pretty sure that the Judgment of Judah fell around 70AD when the Roman's under Titus and Vespacean laid siege to and destroyed all the cities in Israel and burnt the temple in Jerusalem to the...

I grew up in Levittown, on Long Island in New York State, just a few miles from the Grumman aerospace facility in Bethpage. In nice weather my family would barbecue and in the evening some of us liked watching the skys and saw a number of unidentified flying objects. Back then we would dial MARS...

It was well over ten years ago, but I used to listen to Christian radio while working on equipment repairs and I heard an interesting testimony on the program "Focus on the Family". It was a translated interview with a native South American brujo (sorcerer) who had come to faith in Jesus Christ...

For those interested in understanding more about the fulfillment of "end time" prophesy, a popular author, Joel Rosenberg, wrote a nonfiction book about interpreting current events in the middle east as fulfillment of the prophetic word found in the book of Ezekiel, titled "Epicenter ". I found...

Thank you for such encouragement. A few years ago, I had a lucid dream and usually when I realize that I'm dreaming, the first thing that I want to do is fly. I heard a voice saying simply "go ahead" which was a bit unusual, but I did. I raised my arms and launched into the air and started...
