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

    I'm not saying to not take context into account. I'm saying that context doesn't ever nullify the plain meaning of any singular verse of scripture; and that every verse in holy scripture can be taken by us as being a statement of God's absolute truth. If you are talking about works, then I...

    Grace is NOT unmerited favor!

    Not saying He will necessarily do this with you, as you seem to have a testimony... But those who teach God's grace as a license for sin will not merely be chastised, as in disciplined temporarily. But the Bible teaches that those who teach grace as a license for sin have had their...

    Seeing Sanctification

    You appear to be teaching here that if a man falls away from the faith, he is still saved. This is heretical doctrine.

    Spotting the Heretic

    On the contrary, the word of the Lord will never return void (Isaiah 55:10-11) and we are born again through the incorruptible word of God (1 Peter 1:23). Now, what I teach (since I know that you are aiming at me by this) is that a specific attitude, retained, keeps my salvation. Faith, not...

    Believe Right = Live HOLY

    I do not see myself as a sinner, in that as one who is born of God and who abides in Christ, I "do not" and "cannot" sin (1 John 3:9); and I also "sin not" (1 John 3:6). But under another definition of sinner, there isn't one of us who isn't a sinner (see 1 Timothy 1:15). For all of us have...

    understanding Paul

    There is a righteousness that is under the law (Philippians 3:9)....however it is as filthy menstrual rags (Isaiah 64:6; Matthew 23:25-28).

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    God promises a blessing over your tithe (Malachi 3:10)...so how can it be of the law?

    The wrong Cross

    See Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48...verses that describe the plight of all those who would seek to be justified by the law / their works / their obedience / their performance.

    Spotting the Heretic

    Are you speaking of Psalms in the Bible that declare what is going to occur in the future? Or, do you mean prophetic, in the sense of prophecy being a speaking forth of the word of God; in which case all of the Psalms in the Bible would be prophetic? If you are speaking of Psalms that aren't...

    Seeing Sanctification

    Although, it is written, that He became sin for us in order that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

    Seeing Sanctification

    Jesus lived righteously and died so that we might live. But if we live righteously and then do not die, it is so that the world around us might be condemned; because we have lived out a standard that they have not lived out and our righteousness condemns their unrighteousness (again, see...

    Believe Right = Live HOLY

    Maybe you had better edit your post so that it is intelligible.

    Spotting the Heretic

    No; because the holy scriptures are inspired of the Holy Spirit; and therefore to receive their testimony is to receive the testimony of the Holy Spirit. And there are also those who quote the Bible in order to save souls; and these are not in opposition to God but are instead doing His work.

    Spotting the Heretic

    Of course we need the Holy Spirit. But you must also realize that all scripture is inspired by God the Holy Spirit...so if you want to hear from Him, what better place to go than the word of God? People can also be mistaken and led away by seducing spirits and doctrines of devils and think...

    Believe Right = Live HOLY

    No; for God has ordained ministers to edify the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-12). And, in order for them to minister, the body has to be gathered together (Hebrews 10:25).

    Just like Noah (Hebrews 11:7)

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

    It does indeed make my point to those who will not harden their heart against that point. Also, it is a primary rule of hermeneutics that every verse of scripture stands on its own as a bastion of spiritual truth; and that the plain meaning of any singular verse is never nullified by the...

    Spotting the Heretic

    @mjrhealth, this is the bottom line: If you are listening to voices in your head and are not getting your doctrine from the word of God, you are susceptible to demonic deception and may indeed need mental health treatment. 1Ti 4:1, Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times...

    Believe Right = Live HOLY

    If He is calling you to preach and you are neglecting that because of this ideology, you will surely be accountable for the souls that do not enter in to the kingdom because you failed to preach to them. Most certainly, God can apprehend someone with a dream, or a drug trip, or by any means He...

    Seeing Sanctification

    I was talking about the person who was specifically being spoken of in Proverbs 6:30-31. If you incur a debt and do not have the necessary funds to pay the debt, then you would have to go to work in order to pay off the debt. But if you are in Christ, in the scenario that is now presented, and...
