I agree Brother James. Jesus Christ is our standard. We want to look to Him. David does not live in us, Christ does. Axehead

Well done, JohnnyB. Here is another one for you. Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. σπουδáζω spoudazō spoo-dad'-zo From G4710; to use speed, that is, to make effort, be prompt or earnest: - do (give) diligence, be...

Since Jesus is the Word, I view all commandments in the New Testament as commandments of Jesus Christ regardless of which human being wrote them. Commandments of Jesus that we should not ignore: John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men...

That was one excellent post, Foreigner! Axehead

We are not talking about forgiveness from God, Haz. God does not forgive willful unrepentant sin. God forgives when we repent from the heart and He knows if we are playing games with Him or not or just "turning the grace of God into lasciviousness." Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in...

JohnnyB said the right thing. Matthew 16 is a tired old argument. Just because the RCC says one thing means nothing. They have a history of blatantly misrepresenting God's Word for their own lusts. When you take the whole counsel of God you realize that it is all about Christ and that He has...

It's not that I speak against wrong behavior but that God speaks against it. I did not make that thought up myself. I believe that if we are concerned about habitual sin that is a good thing and if we are not concerned about it then that could be a red flag in our life. I know that turning to...

Haz, I have never understood what you mean by perfect physical behavior. Axe

Haz, Obedience is not just manifested physically. Often, obedience to the voice of the Lord is internal, yet many times, though it starts internally, it will be manifested in our words and deeds. We don't follow rules and regulations, we follow His voice in our spirit. Jesus is my Sabbath...

Sorry, I should have put it in brackets to show that it was from me and not God. I was hoping you could figure that out. Joe, we are all spiritually weak and that is why we are to abide in Christ. Adam disobeyed because he chose too. You cannot make excuses for him because God doesn't make...

Oh, thanks a lot. :wacko:

Individuals receive the Holy Spirit not religious organizations. That is still the way it is today. The Bible says, "His Church", NOT "His Catholic Church". Your organizations private interpretation on this serves their purposes only not all those born of the spirit and that is how many know...

It is plain to see that Miles Stanford's association with the Plymouth Brethren, Calvinism and Dispensationalism have affected his theology. NetC, you should try setting aside Standford's teachings for a season and just read the word depending only on the Holy Spirit and see what He gives you...

Well Amen Johnny! It would be horrible if the Lord could not purify our hearts and cause us to walk righteously. How in the world could anyone have confidence and not be ashamed at His coming if they were not proceeding from faith to faith and glory to glory in their life with Jesus Christ...

I just wanted to let you know that I am not a Calvinist and don't believe men are predestinated for hell, though God knows what the future for all of us holds. Axehead

God's standard of judgement is just and righteous. :blink:

God's righteous judgement may be that "all have sinned", but sinning is not His standard. Axehead

Well, it is what it is. No numerology or Gematria involved at all. I don't subscribe to those methods of determining God's will and have never read the Bible Code. Isaiah's 66 chapters are just straight parallels with no hocus-pocus involved. Nothing to buy, because I am not selling...

I had no idea the Church of Jesus Christ was so large. I thought "few there be that find it", because it is a "narrow way". Who believes that God would send His children to hell? Are you sure you know what a child of God is? Rom_9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these...

Is that a Red Herring? Who is basing "justification/righteousness on the abilities and actions of the flesh?" I think I missed that one somewhere. Axehead No Haz. I see ungodly exactly as the Scripture denotes it. You are now saying that as long as one is "with Christ" instead of "without...
