Exactly brother. These arguments do not only create no growth, they stifle it. This behaviour destroys faith, and is opposite to faith. It strengthens the old man and leaves the new aside, seeking, like the religious, to establish some fact of the ressurection, or some fact of this... As Christ...

Well said, brother. The good news is about the new creation, Christ in us, and the new creation that is to come, the new heaven and the new earth, for which the Lord prepares us. By the new nature we must overcome, that we might be heirs with him when the time comes.

Yes! :) Now the Jews who are a remnant 'according to grace' as Paul says, are made one with the gentiles who are grafted in, making one new man. Ephesians 2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the...

Amen rjp! Our trust should not be in power, money, or the kingdoms of this world. All these things we must cast aside... And cling only to Christ and his cross. :) The Lord bless you

You completely misunderstood me. :) I said it doesn't apply because it doesn't apply to the question. The question, might I remind you, was whether the church should work along with the state. The question was not what role should the church fulfill, or what should it do. It was, should it...

Is that what we, as Christians should walk in, though? The kind of love that is self-destructive? ;)

Hi all! :) I've just been reading the forums the last two days and finding there is so much fights over meanningless things. And I don't mean it's bad to study this stuff or anything... It just seems that the conversation is not used for the edification of the body, but for the lifiting up of...

Well, it was about whether the state or the church should be working together, so most of what you say (except for the first one) doesn't really apply... Unless I misunderstood you. :)

Interesting. I think the church has been deviated from it's course earlier than a hundred years ago. God brings revival of truth in good time, and the church rises again, but the most part of the church seems to have been in deception through most of history. Of course, there is always a...

Hi andrew, welcome here :) I would say firstly is that he has a revelation of who Christ is, he truly sees the kingdom, and then that he follows Christ, obeys him, and picks up his cross daily, growing and walking in the Spirit. I think that's what it comes down to... Whew! That's a high...

Praying that the Lord would take care of all your needs, and make you to grow in him, brother :) May the Lord bless you

Ok... Well to be honest I don't know that much about Montreal either :lol: As far as tourism, I've visited the vieux port (old port), I've been there a few times to go to visit schools, find shops, etc. I'm not a big visitor of places. :) God bless you, bro

I was making a point. ;) When one comes boldly before the throne of God, he is bold because of the love God has for him. But he also has fear, knowing that God is a consuming fire. Yes, we must walk in both. The same way a disciple walks both in death by carrying his cross and in newness of...

The word that Jesus and the disciples used to speak of the fear of God is 'phobos'. Phobos (Ancient Greek Φόβος, pronounced [pʰóbos], meaning "terror") Definition. fear, dread, terror. that which strikes terror. You're right, it doesn't mean fear, it means terror. ;)

Also, people say things different way. Christ and Paul can express the same truth in different words, to a different audience. Thus is one doesn't understand the original statements meaning, he doesn't see how it's the same as the first. Thus confusion arises. Even Peter, the apostle, warns us...

:lol: Jake there had just sent me a quote that applies here. Christianity is so entangled with the world that millions never guess how radically they have missed the New Testament pattern. Compromise is everywhere. A.W. Tozer

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matt. 10:28) Perfect love casts out all fear in that sense. You can have perfect trust in God and fear no harm. But you fear God at the same time, knowing...
