Many Christians say, "God only requires one to be righteous. His Son". The thought goes that since He is righteous, God does not require me to be righteous. This is a typical response coming from Christendom, today. Does God require men to be righteous? Here many Christians would respond, "No"...

Yes, I thought that was very good, too. Location, location, location = Spiritual Geography All of us are aware of our physical geography -- what town, city, county, state and nation we reside in, as well as what the land, laws, economy and people are like where we live. However, we need to be...

God wants us to know that His commitment to us is solid. The other side of the coin is our commitment and faithfulness to Him. He won't leave us, but will we leave Him or endure till the end? Will we harden our heart and turn away from Him? Many have. Axehead

That is called Assurance. Assurance is the subjective awareness and confidence of spiritual identification with Jesus Christ. Assurance has everything to do with abiding in Christ and nothing to do with Bible knowledge.Here are some other scriptures. Rom. 8:16 - "the Spirit bears witness...

Of course, I do agree with that. And we are Christ-ones. I know you understand the implication of that statement. It is the same as "little Christs". Axehead

Amen! Christianity is Christ!! Christ is Christianity!!

Christians talk about Grace, Faith, Salvation, Righteousness, Holiness as if they are static commodities that they obtained at some point in time and they now own regardless of their future life's orientation and conduct. But as Joe Carson Smith notes in "Christian Standard" magazine (9,9,79)...

Did you know this was in the Bible? According to God's Word, it is possible to grieve the Holy Spirit in these ways: let the things which you have heard slip (Heb. 2:1) go astray (Mt. 18:12,13) err from the faith (1 Tim. 6:10,21) err from the faith and overthrow the faith of others (2 Tim...

Christianity is Christ, The Christian life is not an imitation of Jesus' life, but the manifestation of His life and Being in our behavior. The Apostle Paul was desirous that "the life of Jesus should be manifested in our mortal bodies" (II Cor. 4:10,11). Explaining to His disciples their...

Being a Pastor in today's Institutional Church, may well be synonymous with "exercising authority" over men, but many in the Body of Christ have a pastor's (shepherd's) heart. Females as well as males have been given the gift of shepherding which is nothing more than caring for and feeding the...

If you have the Holy Spirit you will be moved by the Holy Spirit to put to death the deeds of the flesh and walk after the Spirit. Jesus' obedience to His Father was from a heart of love, not legalism. And this same Jesus (Spirit of Christ) should be living in us. 2Co 13:5 Examine...

True. Christian values are more like, do good to your enemy, feed them, pray for them, turn your cheek, if you are being robbed, give them more and be joyful about it. Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 20 Therefore if thine enemy...

Hi Prentis, No, I don’t agree with that statement “that even if we are in the Spirit, we are still slaves to sin”, and I don’t see that idea reflected in God’s Word. Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was...

Can you clarify for me how this is a declaration of unbelief? Thank you, Axehead

It seems to me after reading all these posts that Episkopos is trying to establish the fact that there is a "walk of righteousness" and that God wants us to experience righteousness in our lives and not just say we are righteous because of Christ, yet do not experience victory over sin, "putting...

I don't think Christ's enemies quoted Luke 6:29. Luk 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Luk 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. Luk 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also...

Veteran sounds like he is espousing "Manifested Sons of God" doctrine or "Dominionism". It does not matter that "Christian" ministers and "Pastors" picked up weapons to blow away the British. I am sure there were British "Christians" and "Pastors" killing the American "Christians" and "Pastors"...

What do we do about the problem of "indwelling sin"? The Law was given to deal with the acts of sin committed, but what does a man do about desires coming from the flesh? What does one do about a principle of sin that dwells in the flesh and resists the "law of God"? Before the work of...

Someone asked me what I thought about Hebrews 7 and Melchizedek and the fact the Abraham paid a tithe to Melchizedek? This goes to the heart of the matter. This is not so much about tithing as it is about setting people free to enjoy the reality of Jesus Christ. Wrong doctrines nullify the...
