    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    Of course, good works please God. We are saying that they do not save a man. Holy scripture is clear on that.

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    We can do whatever we want as a born again believer; because our wants have changed so that they are holy and pleasing to the Lord! For He has given unto us the gift of righteousness (Romans 5:17-19).

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    @Jane_Doe22 , it is about receiving forgiveness as a free gift. Of course, if anyone is forgiven much, they will love much (Luke 7:36-50). Love is not in word or in tongue only, but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:17-18).

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    I disagree with you here. I have also given scriptural support for my pov.

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    @CharismaticLady, Assuming I am not still on Ignore, I would encourage you to pray against this bill that is going through Congress right now where they are wanting to implement the "digital dollar" and the patent # on the technology is 060606. Since God always answers your prayers, I am...

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    We are in fact save by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). However, if we are filled with the Holy Spirit (whom we receive by faith, Galatians 3:14), we will bear the fruit of the Spirit. Consider the...

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    You also misrepresent what I teach and have presented a straw man to the people.

    Becoming a perfect Disciple of Christ

    Being attacked by a false teacher only serves to substantiate my credentials as a true one.

    1 Thessalonians 4:1

    No. At first Hebrews 6:1-8 caused me much distress and fear (see Psalms 105:17-19); but later on I came to realize that Hebrews 6:9-20 teaches us that we have Jesus as an anchor of the soul and that as long as we cling to Him we cannot lose our salvation. I am no legalist. I do preach the law...

    How to recognize a real Teacher... Pt 2

    And as I said, a true teacher will never discourage his students from being Bereans (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11); and neither will he react unkindly to nor attempt to discourage his students from correcting him with the word of God.

    Spotting the Heretic

    This response indicates to me that you have no concept of what the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about. I would suggest spending a little time meditating on what it says in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, or Ephesians 2:8-9, or Titus 3:4-7, or Romans 4:1-8. There is no condemnation for them who are in...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    There is a difference between reading information about the queen and reading a letter sent to you directly from the queen. The latter thing is personal. Jesus has gone away on a journey and has told His servants to "Occupy until I come." We know Him no longer after the flesh (2 Corinthians...

    How to recognize a real Teacher.....Pt 1

    If you are referring to the fact that I don't take 1 John 2:27-28 out of my Bible with scissors as you do; and actually am taught by the anointing that is spoken of in those verses, to abide in Christ; then what you need to realize is that I do not teach self-effort or legalism. When I teach...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    I know Jesus better because I have studied His love letter to me while He has been away on a mission. Again, I do not deny, but confess (at the risk of having my head chopped off by Muslims) that Jesus is the Son of God.

    Spotting the Heretic

    Christ's only commandment in 1 John 3:23 is to believe on His name and to love one another as He gave us commandment. The first is the only real requirement for salvation; and the second is the result of salvation (see Galatians 3:14, Romans 5:5). Christ also gives some of the scriptures that...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    He is the Father even the Son. His Spirit is the Father. He is the Son in the hypostatic union...in that He is come in the flesh as a Man.

    Judge Not...

    I believe that Isaiah 56:1-2 (kjv) and Philippians 1:9 (kjv) ought to be taken into account. Isa 56:1, Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Isa 56:2, Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man...

    Spotting the Heretic

    A man is not justified by keeping the law (Galatians 2:16, Romans 3:19-20). If you think that you are justified by keeping God's commandments, then you don't really know yourself. In Galatians 6:13, Paul makes it clear that even those who were sticklers for the law couldn't keep it. And that...

    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    I do not deny that He is the Son. Why not? How have I removed Jesus out of the picture, and how am I denying Christ? Who He is is the Father (John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11; Isaiah 9:6; Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6; Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21; 1 Corinthians 12:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6). I...
