    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    This reasoning is not of God. Again with the faulty reasoning and misunderstanding the scriptures. The equation listed in Rom 6:23 is not a preference choice. Both sides remain true. God judges righteously without preference. Those who have received grace will be judged harder, not get off...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    No, God will have mercy on whom He wills. He does not tell people who that is in advance. Show a little wisdom, humility and fear of the Lord. Buck the trend... ...or not. :rolleyes:

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    You are missing the part where the elect are saved for glory. Do you think that the sermon on the mount only lasted for a year or so so that once Jesus was crucified and resurrected... the meek no longer inherit the earth? Saints are saved for glory. But God's mercy extends to those who DO what...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    ...yes, and also of the elect.

    Stages of Growth in Christ (crucial to know)

    Pretty close. A few minor inaccuracies.

    Stages of Growth in Christ (crucial to know)

    Why are so many believers stuck in the initial phase of the Christian walk? Is it because of unwillingness, or a lack of knowledge about how to proceed....or both? In this episode we will begin to uncover the stages of growth in Christ and their importance, as it is laid out in the Bible.

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Hey Azim, :) I was thinking of doing an episode on "we are living in a simulation". There is a lot of biblical evidence for this....going from a deep sleep to awakening into the light of eternal reality. <><

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Don't be fooled by the foolish purveyors of fiction. These would say...I still sin although I have already been delivered from sin. These same thinkers would say that they have raised the dead but that the dead have not yet realized it yet. A fictional belief system. When someone claims...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    I preach and teach the truth, and I get cat-callers who respond with theories and platitudes. I write, not for the doubters...but for a potential truth-seeker that is ready to humble himself/herself, and be ready to fear the Lord. But wisdom is in very short supply these days. Religious hubris...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    A strawman and utterly self-aggrandizing. You are arguing that a puddle is wetter than a lake. As usual your content is laughable and with evil intent. Such shallowness can only come from a deceiver. The devil believes Jesus is the Christ too..the demons called out to Him. Your spirit is...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    You are holding the statement from the wrong end. If you had faith the size of a mustard seed you would move mountains. So will you claim to move mountains too? All because you figure you have the same kind of faith as provides the eternal rest of God? The truth sets us free...from sin...fully...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    That comes from the doctrines of men...to name and claim "positionally" what no one actually experiences or that God notices. Jesus said that many claim Him as Lord but Jesus says "I never knew you:...and that should strike fear in the hearts of shallow religionists. But a shallow religionist is...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    While facts are good....they can make someone think they have grasped more than they actually have. Facts don't set people free. The power of God (grace) does that...and only the truth has that power...the power IS of the truth. It is what we experience OF the truth...that we are transported to...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    The bible is not written as a news report. Facts are involved...but people confuse facts as truth. Jesus said I am the truth. Jesus is not the facts. There is no relationship to facts beyond a mental assent. Hence the superficiality of much of Christendom. God indeed reveals facts about...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    The biggest impediment to growth in Christ is the flesh, and people's attachment to it. Any deeper teaching about God's way in Christ will be deeply unpopular since the Spirit wars against the flesh. We are not to side with the flesh against the Spirit. We are to have no...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Hi Shep! :) Thanks for watching. I think it's a question of depth. Believing with the mind (as mere facts) vs believing with or from the heart (into truth). God is the one who translates the believer into the kingdom realm...and the New Covenant is with the heart. So He decides how deep we...

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    This is the time to take the "red pill" if you dare: There have never been so many impediments to a spiritual growth in Christ as in our time. The solution to this predicament is both too easy and too hard for us to wrap our minds around. This is by God's design. Pride stops us from discovering...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Yes. Elohim is plural meaning 2 (unless another number is specified). In this case both Father and Son share a name....Jehovah (Yahweh)....the greater and the lesser. (Hashem ha katon) Other instances that show that the plural means 2....is Ephraim (double fruit) Machanayim (2 camps) Mayim...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    That doctrine is from a human understanding of spiritual things. Jesus said...My Father and I are ONE. One what? One Spirit. The Father sent His Spirit and whoever doesn't have the Spirit of Christ is not His. So then both Father and Son have a Spirit (actually these SHARE One Holy...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Actually the bible teaches Two Persons in ONE Spirit...Father and Son. There are not 5 separate persons....or 3... just 2 (Elohim) There is only ONE Holy Spirit....not a separate Spirit person apart from God who is God. God IS Spirit. And the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Christ are not...
