    Spotting the Heretic

    Where does He say that? We must test the spirits to see whether they are of God; and the best way to do that is to test what they say to you by the word of God. The Bible is the plumb line by which we determine all other things. Even Peter, in understanding that Jesus was the Messiah, had...

    A President alongside of the statement, "In God We Trust."

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    Except that they were to be offered willingly... While God said that in holding them back they were robbing Him. Which we ought to take into account in our hashing out of these matters. Because if these things apply today (and I believe that they may), then in holding back our tithes we also...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's...and unto God what is God's.

    Spotting the Heretic

    What I'm saying is that a man may believe that he has a subjective experience that tells him sound doctrine; but if the doctrine in question is contrary to the word of the Lord, it is not sound doctrine. Because God is not going to contradict Himself. He has given His revelation of Himself in...

    Not a sinner.

    I would say that the people whose actions didn't follow their faith did not have the kind of faith that would avail for them. If they truly believed him; and also wanted the benefits that he offered: they would avail themselves of the means by which he offered healing. Just as with any...

    Not a sinner.

    There is a nominal, shallow, or lukewarm faith that will fall away when tested (Luke 8:13). But there is also a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14) that is unto everlasting life (John 6:47)....life that will...

    Not a sinner.

    Believing produces an obedient heart. It does not include obedience; otherwise we are saved by works when we are saved by faith (which Ephesians 2:8-9 denies). But faith is an attitude of surrender that produces works when it is alive in you. You are not saved by the works produced; but by...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    I have to dsiagree with you when you say that Jesus was only speaking to Jews. Tithing is not of the law....it predated the law with Melchizedec. So when Jesus says, these you ought to have done (justice, mercy, and faith) without leaving the other undone (tithing); He is saying to all of us...

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    @Blood Bought 1953; It should be clear that the righteousness that God gives to us is not only imputed and positional but imparted and practical (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).

    Spotting the Heretic

    And how is one to determine what is heresy except by comparing the doctrine in question to God's word? To @mjrhealth and all.

    Pre-Destined Elect - simplified.

    The holy scriptures are clear on the subject of eternal conscious torment in hell... Matthew 13:41-42, Matthew 13:49-50, Matthew 25:46, together.

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    As long as you are in this flesh, you will have indwelling sin (1 John 1:8, Romans 7:18) and this makes you a sinner in that sense. In another sense, you may not be a sinner. In the sense that you "do not" and "cannot" commit sin (1 John 3:9). In the sense that while abiding in Christ, you...

    Healthy Relating....What does it consist of?

    It is very biblical (while I know there is a plethora of arguments against the biblical statements that tell us of His Deity).

    Healthy Relating....What does it consist of?

    Anyhow, Jesus is indeed the great I AM (God come in human flesh).

    Dead faith.

    All of the verses that speak of losing one's salvation are intended to produce the fear of the LORD in a man's heart so that he will not depart from the Lord (Jeremiah 32:38-40 (kjv), Psalms 19:9). Jer 32:38, And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: Jer 32:39, And I will give them...
