    The Religious Mind

    I do believe that if you are not faithful in that which is least, you will not be faithful in that which is greater. It does not mean that you don't have salvation; just that you will only be saved so as by fire. The Lord will say to you, "You made it..."

    Correction on the Trinity.

    I happen to believe now that the Father created an eternal mirror and that the Spirit on the other side of that mirror is the Word and the exact representation of the Father...there is a sense in which He even is the Father; being the exact reflection of the Father. Now the Word became flesh...

    Correction on the Trinity.

    I once considered that John 1:1 was explained by Ephesians 4:10. In that, as the theology goes, the Word was the Father, who descended to become the Son, who then ascended to become the Holy Spirit (to make a long story short): so that the same Person exists beside Himself in eternity. Thus...

    Correction on the Trinity.

    And, it is saying, that if you understand the mystery of the Trinity, but have not love, you are nothing; while if you don't understand that mystery, but do have love, you are known by the Lord. Also, the fact that all scripture is inspired by God means that the following is also inspired and...

    The Religious Mind

    Married women are to ask questions of their husbands at home. Single women have more liberty to ask a pastor their questions since they have no husband. But married women who ask the pastor their questions instead of their husbands are bucking against the authority of their husband. It has...

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

    I don't. I consider that I have repented of my besetting sins and am no more a child of the devil (even because of the scripture at hand). The scripture is crystal clear that he that committeth sin is of the devil. So is it not just me making this assessment that every sinner is a child of...

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy:

    The church of Jesus Christ is indeed composed of people who live here in the flesh (i.e. they have physical bodies).

    The Religious Mind

    It is a shame for women to speak in church; and this is a timeless principle not based on culture. One time my wife asked the pastor a question and I answered the question right in front of the pastor (though the answer was not an answer that I believe the pastor would have given). She is...

    Correction on the Trinity.

    NO ERROR at all... Eph 3:3, How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Eph 3:4, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Eph 3:9, And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the...

    The Religious Mind

    In context..."these (justice, mercy, and faith) ye ought to have done while not leaving the other (tithing) undone" Now I don't think you really mean it when you say that I am forgetting the weightier matters of the law. I have put much time and effort into explaining those matters; and will...

    The Religious Mind

    Yes, she does. So do I. The pastor is giving the message; and the Holy Spirit doesn't interrupt Himself.

    Correction on the Trinity.

    There is a mystery of faith involved here; for there are ten dimensions to reality and the Lord might even exist above the ten. Therefore the reality may not be comprehensible with our finite minds of human thinking. Certainly 1 + 1 +1 = 3. But 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. Isa 55:8, For my thoughts are...

    Built on The Wrong Apostle:

    First of all, not one jot or tittle shall pass away from the law until heaven and earth pass away. Secondly, if anyone is relying on his works to save him, he is required to obey all of the OT and NT law from conception into eternity: Gal 3:10, For as many as are of the works of the law are...

    Religious but lost:

    If that is the case, then salvation is by works; and Ephesians 2:8-9 refutes such an idea. Ephesians 2:10 and Titus 3:14 do not set forth works as a requirement. Rather, they declare that good works are the normal outworking of a living faith...they are the fruit of being saved by grace...

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy:

    He says "God forbid" to the idea of taking God's grace for granted...while the verses previous...in chapter 5...show clearly that God's grace is both extravagant and scandalous; and that where sin abounded grace did abound. You have to be misinterpreting that scripture because otherwise Paul...

    The Religious Mind

    If anyone is contentious, the only argument that will suffice for them is that these scriptures are based on culture/custom. But 1 Corinthians 11:16 tells us that these scriptures are not based on culture/custom; that there is a timeless and cultureless aspect to them.

    The Religious Mind

    Paul teaches that long hair is given to a woman for a covering; therefore a vail is not necessary: because long hair is given in place of the vail. Now if a woman has short hair, then she would need a vail while praying or prophesying. Now the culture of our day is not in accordance with this...

    The Religious Mind

    The scripture is clear that in keeping your hair short you are dishonouring your husband...or, if you are not married, the God-established order of the man over the woman: 1Co 11:3, But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the...

    The Religious Mind

    And yet, I am here attempting to preach the word of the Lord out of the love that the Lord has shed abroad in my heart for you. You do not perceive it as love because the worldly definition of love is that it is full of warm fuzzies. But sometimes real and abiding love hands out cold...
