The most troubling thing about this is the "priest-class" of men that was developed to perform this miracle and the fact that they all say some "magical" words and turn physical bread into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ regardless of what kind of life they are living at the time. This...

Actually, tithing does not derive from Abraham and Melchizedek. There are two instances where tithing is referred to BEFORE the LAW: 1. When Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek, king of Salem and "a priest of God Most High" (Genesis 14:17-20) 2. When Jacob promised to give a tenth to God...

The results of the counterfeit miracles are varied, and wide manifestations, according to the condition of the individual by which they are performed. What I have often found in studying these so-called "miracles" is that they are indeed "great manifestations", but yield little or no fruit. They...

Ok, let's just see how much of Roman Catholicism is "oral tradition" or from the Scriptures. 10 dollars for each question where you can show me Scriptural proof. Can someone prove to me from the Bible: 1. Where Jesus Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church instead of HIS CHURCH. (read...

Lets read the next verse: It says the the Law of Sowing and Reaping has to do with LIFE EVERLASTING. Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Can this be any clearer? He is...

They could always make tents like Paul did and earn some money. But then there is the whole problem with this division of Believers (Clergy / Laity). Did you know that Jesus said He "hated the deeds of the Nicolaitans", twice? I can understand why since He doesn't take too kind to people...

To only "BELIEVE" without any follow-up manifestation of your faith is drawing near to God with your LIPS. You draw near to GOD with your HEART when you OBEY HIM, because you prove that you love Him. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and...

Haz, Is there any other verses in the NT that you read, besides John 6:29? Axehead

I am going to deviate a bit, going back to the original intent of the OP. However, I don't mind side conversations, in fact, I start them myself all the time. I want to talk about Colossians 2:2. Paul said he desired that the Laodiciean Christian's "hearts...be comforted, being KNIT TOGETHER...

Here is part of Hebrews that many don't think apply to them, today. Heb_3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. Heb_3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in...

I'm with you dragonfly. I also believe in Justification by Faith. But like James says, you have an empty confession if your faith produces nothing and you don't really have true faith, either. A tree is known by it's fruit. Axehead

Jesus had to deny the flesh that He was living in. He hungered, He grew tired, He suffered temptations. God could not micro-manage anything if Jesus did not cooperate. He chose to obey His Father. He chose to listen to Him and He chose to do what His Father commanded. He even asked if "this...

Clearly, many don't see our relationship with Jesus Christ as a covenant relationship, and covenants have blessings and curses. 1Cor 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in...

I am concerned about it because God is concerned about it, Haz. I care about what God cares about because He lives in me. A lawless life is disregarding the spiritual laws of God concerning sowing and reaping thinking that you are "covered" and "safe" and don't really have to be concerned...

We overcome because He dwells in us and His life is overcoming for us. 1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, (speaking of Christ) than he that is in the world. In the New Covenant that we have entered into, our enemies are the...

When Paul said "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you," (Gal 4:19), he was not speaking of us becoming THE Christ. Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the...

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Who would even say they are sinless? Where is the humility? No one is saying they are sinless and have reached absolute perfection (perfectness). One might say, "I am not conscious of any sin" and I would say "Praise the Lord, brother. Keep running hard after Jesus Christ yet keep a teachable...

And this squarely puts the responsibility on us to forsake sin (Satan) and not be blameshifters (my old nature made me do it). Eve blameshifted and Adam blameshifted. But, now we can't get away with those types of excuses anymore. Axehead
