    Listening to what Jesus says about the church in our time.

    The Word for the Healing of the Body today is: Come to the Lord Jesus with your whole heart and do not be joined to anything else in your heart but Him. Axehead

    The state of the church

    John 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. Jesus is giving us a clue about how He lived by the Father (He ate of Him, spiritually) and how Jesus lived by His Father is how we shall live by Jesus. We eat of Him...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Yes, that is a very good descriptive statement. It's not that the concept of walking in holiness and obedience to the Lord is complicated, it is that the carnal man cannot fathom that a God of Love wants him to grow up in Him and mature in love rather than stay a selfish little kid all of his...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    No Haz, you have it wrong. You are constantly trying to make this thread about people and what we are talking about is not people's sin but how the Word of God has been watered down. If I have any bias (as you put it), it is a bias for the Truth of God's Word. From what I have seen is that you...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Actually, Haz, I deny that you actually understand what Epi is saying. You are masterful at twisting his words. I look forward to Richard's reply as yours is convoluted with the mixing of inappropriate scriptures for the subject at hand. And you have shown that you have it in for Epi with no...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    Richard, how would one go about fulfilling the following scriptures if you do not "DENY SELF"? Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield...

    Tithing

    Hey there Liz, There are some very sad stories about how men take advantage of others. In order to do that in the first place in the Church, one has to convince others that they should look to them as the "expert" in all things spiritual. And that is the way most of Christendom is set up today...

    Apostasy and the lie of the tithe

    One of the facts that speak so loudly about the doctrine of tithing is the absolute silence of the New Testament. We must be honest with ourselves and those we teach. When it comes to the topic of tithing, the New Testament is completely silent! Throughout the NT there are many references to...

    Tithing

    Hi Liz, Thanks for your contribution. The Lord has allowed you to see through the deception of this doctrine of "tithing" for the New Covenant Saint. Law based = fear motivated = PAYMENT Grace based = love motivated = GIVING Here are some more fear based phrases spoke over the pulpit...

    Split the differences in John 1:13?

    Hi dragonfly, The will of the flesh - attempting to live the Christian life on your own without the indwelling Holy Spirit. The will of man - Men cannot make you a Christian through their rituals or commands. Not of blood - Just because your parents are Christians and you were raised in...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    Richard, I wonder if you could tell me what "deny yourself and pick up your cross" means. Especially the part about "denying self". It seems to go with many things that Paul says, too. Thanks, Axehead

    The state of the church

    2Jn_1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. We know the doctrine of Christ is the only doctrine (teaching) that will conform one to godliness. Everyone who follows...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    I don't know, that was a major detour. Guess we should tell God to stop being concerned about His church.

    The Gospel of Grace:

    "behavior on this forum"? Are you sure you want to talk about behavior? Your gifts must be failing you Dave because you called me "young man", too. But seriously, why do you keep talking about yourself? Axehead

    Dave, you might want to read more than just the beginning. Axehead

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Hi dragonfly, I actually thought Episkopos knew what I was talking about when he responded to Dave. My point to Dave was "why mock what others are doing" in what they think God has called them? We don't mock Dave's ministry. When John said I knew he grasped what I was trying to tell Dave as...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Hey Dave, Just popped on and read this. What others and myself are talking about obviously has nothing to do with you, Dave. You sound like an Evangelist, but the Church has more than just Evangelists, right? God is calling today and He speaks through His people. He speaks through all the...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Believe me, I don't look back at the law. I have had big debates with law keepers (Sabbath, Tithing, etc). I look to Christ and I believe dragonfly and Episkopos do too. As far as what the Lord is asking me to do, Dave. It is simple: He is asking me each day to come to Him with my whole heart...
