Hi Trekson, I am talking about an attitude of taking advantage of God's grace and thinking that sin for the Christian does not mean the same as sin for the Unbeliever. Somehow, we think we are protected. Why wasn't Adam protected? He walked with God and was created in His image. Why did one...

Are you saying that Christians do or do not need "behavioural correction" from time to time by their Heavenly Father? Are you saying that Christians never engage in "wrongdoing"? Could their behavioral habits lead them to wrongdoing, where they would need both Chastisement and Chastening...

Correction: Man WAS created in the likeness of God... NOT "was to be created" Correction: The only way that God "KNOWS" Evil is that whatever is not of Him, He is evil. God does not know evil experientially, just like it was not God's intent for Adam and Eve to know Evil experimentally and it...

Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth. Heb 12:7 If ye...

Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees (Which is Hypocrisy) Hypocrisy: the act or practice of pretending to be what one is not, or to feel what one does not feel. What is commonly being called "grace" today is an excuse for hypocrisy to exist in people who confess to be Christians. Hypocrites have...

Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Galatians 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly...

Dave, how does God know we love Him? How did God know that Jesus loved Him? Axehead

Are there any other "rules", Dave? Can I just tear Romans 10 out of the Bible and forget the rest? Such a deal!!! No pain, but lots of gain. I likey very much. Axehead

You mean if we just call Him "Lord" we'll be saved? That's it? Nothing else to do or say? Such a deal, who can resist that? Certainly not God. Just say the "magic" word and God cannot help but be OBLIGATED to the MAGIC word! Axehead

Actually, He is still talking about anyone, since this is true of anyone that receives Him. See my original 3 descriptions. Did you know that the original, initial Church were Jews? 3000 alone were added to the Church on the day of Pentecost and many thereafter. Axehead

Been there done that. You cannot change the Religious System. Anything dependent on a budget and monthly income and where men's SALARIES and POSITIONS over OTHERS are involved, you cannot change. You will only be met with antagonism and hate. If you don't think so, try preaching the WHOLE...

GOD TESTS THE HEART OF EVERYTHING HE CREATES Genesis 1:26 -- In the beginning the Bible tells us that Adam was created in the image of God. I believe he had a total innocence and a pure heart with no impure motives. He was holy and blameless and that is why he had close, unbroken fellowship...

Couppy, it's best to weigh the words (whether they come from a 5 year old or 90 year old, male or female) and evaluate if there is truth in them FOR YOU (speaking generically). If nothing here speaks to you, that does not necessarily mean any of these words will not speak to anyone else. As the...

The Lord Empowers Us to Overcome the Flesh Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 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...

If it wasn't for the Lord commanding us and showing us by example that we should render to Caesar, then YES, many of us would be in prison. Caesar used taxes for continued oppression of the Jews, yet Jesus paid the tax and commanded us to do the same. But, unlike Caesar, He does not command us...

Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? Jas 2:23 And...

Dave, Jesus Christ redeems us and yet that is not the END. Then the process of purification (sanctification) starts and it results in fruit (good works). All done by His Spirit. Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar...

Well, this is the way I look at it. If I need to be rebuked by the Lord then please do it Lord, and don't hesitate. And you know something, He won't and doesn't, hesitate. Don't speak nice words to me and tell me how much you love me if you are not willing to tell me where I am going off the...

What I think of the Saints of God (His Church) Psa 16:3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. The Lord preserves the FAITHFUL. (Do you know what FAITHFUL implies. They are the only ones that the Lord will preserve?) Psa 31:23 O love the...

John 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. Dave, what are the works of Abraham that Jesus is referring to? Axehead
