    I have a confession to make

    Nah, please don't look at the Lord's Plan in this way. God caused us to be as we were. Therefore, as you speak disparagingly in this way, and I totally get it, your feelings actually show a disdain for the Lord and what He has both chosen and done. Don't worry, your disgust is honest and Pure...

    I have a confession to make

    It can take years of reading the Bible in chronological order, but if that is done and your understanding of God's Holy Word matures, you will find that God planned all of these things so that He could prove His Power. It may seem hard to believe . . . what I just wrote, but that's what things...

    I have a confession to make

    I hear you and totally get what you're saying. I believe that it is important that as humans transcribe the original text, it is us who mess things up. The original text is what is Holy and Inspired; not necessarily the Bible that you hold in your hands. Also, it is important to realize that...

    I have a confession to make

    That's a great question! What have you found that might indicate that one version is in opposition to the other? Again . . . this is a fantastic question! :)

    I have a confession to make

    I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'd say that the entire Bible revolves around Circumcision, for this is one of the unbelievable ways that God kept His Mysterious Plan a Mystery. The Jews stumbled over the sign of physical circumcision, thinking that it was the sign that saved them rather than...

    Sounds good to me. And if this is so, I'm wondering why you would be correcting me. Its a mystery! :)

    I have a confession to make

    Do you not know that God is in control of ALL things? Are you aware of the Heavenly Scrolls and the implications behind them? What is written in a scroll is what is going to happen; and there isn't anything we can do about it. The Bible shows this level of control over all of creation right down...

    I have a confession to make

    Hey Keith! Thanks for the reply. I hear what you're saying. Truly, I do. I think that there is a greater context, however, than even the one that you have provided. It comes from Romans chapter 2: Romans 2:28-29 NLT - "For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or...

    I have a confession to make

    It is God who grants the gift of being able to believe. Belief in the Lord isn't something we choose . . . the Ability to believe is a gift. Philippians 1:29 NKJV - "For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake . . ." If you...

    Jesus saves unbelievers !

    We know for sure that God has been cutting away the Sinful Nature from our hearts since Abel. Abel was a prophet, and no one can be a prophet if they are under the Curse of mom and dad, Adam and Eve. The point? The Sacrifice of Christ pays the debt for sin. Otherwise, He has been Spiritually...

    Afraid of Losing My Faith In God :(

    Many times we are told to Endure throughout the New Testament. Think about that: If we are to "Endure," that means that things are going to be rough for the True Christian. We are told to be prepared to suffer. And if it helps any, God tells us that it is He alone that sets up kings and rulers...

    Jesus saves unbelievers !

    Romans 5:6, 8 HNV - 6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Messiah died for the ungodly. ... 8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us."

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    The question is . . . why would God place Israel into a deep sleep so that they couldn't obey, thus being given that bill of divorce? Romans 11:8 KJV - "(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto...

    Jesus saves unbelievers !

    Let's say this: Jesus saves those whose spiritual father is the Devil. This means that Jesus saves those who are Cursed by the unholy works of Adam and Eve. John 8:44 NLT - "For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the...

    CHRISTMAS TREE

    Exactly. And the seven Perfect verses prior to Col 2:16 tell us why Paul taught this Freedom in Christ, and it is because of the Spiritual Circumcision that only He provides. Because of Spiritual Circumcision, a person is Enabled to live by and obey the Laws of the Spirit of Life, which are...
