    Dead to the Law, not the Law is Dead

    The Saturday Sabbath, dietary laws, circumcision, holy days have all ended when the New Covenant began with Christ’s death. While certain moral laws (like: Do not murder, do not steal, do not covet, etcetera) have carried over into the New Testament, Believers today are to primarily focus on...

    Idolators Mock the Godhead

    The Trinity: The Bible teaches that there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4) (1 Timothy 2:5) (Isaiah 45:5). Yet, the Bible also teaches that there are distinctions within the Godhead or that there is a plural nature to God. Here are a just a few of them: #1. The word Elohim (אֱלֹהִ֔ים) is both a...

    Idolators Mock the Godhead

    Reading problems here. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The Word WAS God. The Word = God. This makes sense because 1 Timothy 3:16 says that God was manifest in the flesh. In other words, if we were to read the Bible like a...

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    First, while some Conditional Salvationists may be like the Pharisee, you cannot say this is the case for all Conditional Salvationists because you are not God to truly be able to read their thoughts and know about the details of their day to day life with the Lord. Second, the problem with...

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    The problem is that the Christian defining what is willful sin vs. unintentional sin can be defined in a myriad of ways. A Christian can think sinning once a day is okay with God and or sinning once a week. Also, the fact that many of you admit you will sin again as a matter of fact because of...

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    While Christians can sin and mess up, this does not mean that a Christian sinning at point A in time, means that they are not capable of keeping God’s commands in point B in time. John surely is not saying that 1 John 1:9, and 1 John 2:1 are the continual state of the believer their whole...

    Idolators Mock the Godhead

    The Trinity is taught in Scripture. Jesus is God. These are basics tenets of Christianity. 1 John 5:7 KJB says, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was...

    Do You Read But Not Study The Bible?

    But we must know that there were certain believers that had the Anointing and they did not need any man to teach them (1 John 2:27). How does one get this Anointing to understand His Word? I believe the Spirit is given to those who obey Him (Acts of the Apostles 5:32). So light and knowledge of...

    Do You Read But Not Study The Bible?

    I think it is good that we as Christians should try to fellowship with other believers who are passionate about following Jesus, as well. When a believers study together like this… iron sharpens iron.

    Do You Read But Not Study The Bible?

    I think our Lord wants us to both read and study the Bible. 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Matthew 21:42 “Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Again, the issue is battling against sin (to overcome it) vs. justifying sin (thinking we are slaves to our sin our whole lives and so we cannot help ourselves but to sin every day or every week, etcetera.). Two different ways of thinking here. One attempts to do good and fight against all...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    If a person is justifying wrong doing, how am I supposed to speak to them? Did I insult them? Did I use nasty bad words? Is it wrong for me to point out when somebody does wrong? Do not even parents correct their children? Don’t children turn out to be spoiled if they are never corrected of...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Okay. So you believe “temporal ignorance of sin” is automatically forgiven. Not sure how that changes the morality of such a thing. So a person can be in a Christian cult temporarily and be saved while in that cult doing horrible and unimaginable sins as long as they are ignorant of those...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    The Bible makes it clear that they that are Christ’s have crucified the affections and lusts (Galatians 5:24). The Bible says he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin and that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God (1...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    It sounds like you don’t like the word “perfect” because it goes against your preferred sin and still be saved theology. But Jesus says: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (See: Matthew 5:48). The Father is perfect, and not matured.

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    There is like 3-5 verses that Christians love to bring up to justify their sin and still be saved doctrine. They have to do this at the expense of mountain size amount of other verses that warns the believer how sin can destroy their soul unless they confess and forsake their sins (Matthew...

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    What’s silly about this kind of thinking is that you assume the Provisional Atonement or coming to God’s grace in seeking forgiveness with the Lord over one’s past life of sins is justification that one can continue in sin so that grace may abound. Paul says, “God forbid” to that idea. But you...

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    There is a difference between battling against sin (Which good Christians do) vs. justifying sin (Which the “we want to sin in this life” type Christians do). Jesus said you will know false prophets by their fruit (i.e. deeds). You basically are saying you will do evil (i.e. bad fruit) in this...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    I believe the problem with the Pharisee in Luke 18:9-14 is that he was making salvation all about living holy alone without God’s grace. Whereas the Tax Collector recognized God’s saving grace and sought forgiveness with the Lord. The parable does not say whether the Tax Collector was being...
