    1 Jn 3:8: "I am a sinner saved by grace"

    Also, I am not preaching heresy here but combating it. The heresy in question is identified as the inevitability of sin. It is simply taught in too many mainstream churches. The Buck stops here. Isa 59:19, So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising...

    1 Jn 3:8: "I am a sinner saved by grace"

    I encourage the reader to read the verse in its context. What I am saying is that not everyone who says that they are Christian are necessarily born again; just like walking into a McDonald's doesn't make you a hamburger. So what we do in the flesh doesn't matter? Sounds like gnosticism to...

    1 Jn 3:8: "I am a sinner saved by grace"

    Indeed; for "whosoever abideth in him sinneth not." Now if anyone sinneth not, then they are not outside of Christ. It would seem that we are forbidden to claim that we are in Christ; unless, in declaring that we do not sin, this is not the same as saying that we have no sin. And I believe...

    She can ask me any question she wants to.

    The Religious Mind

    Jesus said of His true disciples, You will be hated of all men for my name's sake. Those who relish in the rejecting of my words are identifying themselves as unbelievers; in that they are walking in their hatred of someone who is their brother in Christ if they themselves are in Christ. This...

    The Religious Mind

    You don't know my heart, sir. The fact that I have a concise point of view and am fully convinced in my own mind in no way means that I would be among those who murdered Christians for their beliefs. I have even stated in no uncertain terms (in the quoting of Ecclesiastes 11:9) that you ought...

    The Religious Mind

    I am simply attempting to bring forth an exegesis of the Bible passage at hand (1 Corinthians 11:1-16); in such a way as to be faithful in that which is least. I know also that I am getting flack for it; but that Jesus sees me being faithful to Him. I know also that I will be given more...

    The Religious Mind

    That is not what I said... I am not beyond being deceived over the fact that I am a man (though I might be beyond it for that I am one of the Lord's elect). What I am saying is that that scripture (1 Timothy 2:11-15) teaches that women are more prone to being deceived than men...not that men...

    The Religious Mind

    There are certain things that restrict everyone's freedom. For example, speaking from the pulpit is limited to the minister that is appointed to speak. I know what that is like for me; because I have a gift for speaking the word to people (believe it or not); and I feel that my gifts and...

    The Religious Mind

    Paul said, I don't allow a woman to teach or usurp authority over a man. Therefore, the Holy Spirit might say something authoritative to a woman through a woman; but He is not going to say something authoritative to a man through a woman. Adam was formed first, then Eve. And the man was not...

    The Religious Mind

    This is what the Lord says unto me concerning this: Jhn 15:18, If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. Jhn 15:19, If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world...

    The Religious Mind

    She doesn't have to...she normally walks pretty slow however and sometimes I walk ahead of her because it is difficult for me to slow down...when I do slow down she often walks even slower; so I just tend to walk at my own pace: and when she gets too far behind I stop and wait for her to catch...

    The Religious Mind

    What exactly is your teaching on the matter, is my question. And you can be certain that I will be a Berean about it once I know what it is. However, you are not being a Berean about my teaching on the matter; otherwise you would have gone to the scriptures in question and meditated on them...

    The Religious Mind

    I didn't quote from the book of James. But even if I had, James 1:1 does not render the book of James inapplicable to us. Otherwise Philippians 1:1 renders Philippians inapplicable to us; since it says that Philippians is written to the saints at Philippi with the bishops and deacons...

    Jas 1:22, But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Jas 1:23, For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: Jas 1:24, For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth...

    The Religious Mind

    If you don't want to heed my teaching on the scriptures at hand, that is your prerogative. Just be aware of the following scripture: Ecc 11:9, Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of...

    The Religious Mind

    I believe that if your views are contrary to what I have taught about the scripture at hand, that they are unbiblical. I would suggest taking a second look at the scriptures at hand (1 Corinthians 11:1-16) and be a Berean about what I have taught concerning them. See if they say what I have...

    Built on The Wrong Apostle:

    1Jo 5:3, For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 2Jo 1:6, And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

    The Religious Mind

    If it takes an entire book to convince you of a pov, then that pov is very likely not valid. I would suggest meditating on the passage at hand (1 Corinthians 11:1-16); attempting to see it apart from the lens that was given you through the reading of that book. Take the holy scripture at face...

    The Religious Mind

    That is what I am saying... Both men and women need to be faithful in this doctrine which seems to be least important (in 1 Corinthians 11:1-16). I certainly do not desire to dishonour the Lord; which I would be doing if I wore a hat or my hair long, since He has called me to also pray without...
