    The Religious Mind

    A woman who does not wear her hair long is not dishonouring Christ...she is dishonouring her husband. If she is unmarried, she is dishonouring the order of creation that the Lord has instituted, that the man has authority over the woman.

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    1Jo 3:5, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    I simply feel that for the alcoholic, it is not a good idea to encourage them in the matter; telling them that everyone has liberty to drink in the same way. Alcoholism may indeed be a genetic disease; and if that be the case, it will hit at random anyone who has it the moment they take their...

    The Religious Mind

    I would nor have done the same thing; or else I would have already done it by now in my own church. I said before (but evidently you desire to be in ignorance of what I have said) that I consider that people may indeed be ignorant of the scriptures in question and that I do not normally delve...

    The Religious Mind

    Jesus said that all the hairs of your head are numbered and that Luk 21:18, But there shall not an hair of your head perish. Therefore, I will let you make the conclusion about those who are bald and who would need a hat to protect their head from sunburn. Of course, it was either Elijah or...

    The Religious Mind

    No; actually I do not judge anyone in my church that is male and wears a hat or long hair or that is female with short hair or even shorn. I consider that they may simply be ignorant of the scriptures in question. (I do not delve into the extent of their scriptural knowledge for the most...

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    I believe that the fact that Jesus drank wine is too often used by alcoholics to justify their addictions...we need to take the whole Bible into account when we consider this issue. If you can drink without getting drunk (I define drunk as even getting even a buzz), then more power to you. Of...

    The Religious Mind

    Clean your own doorstep...this is not a judgmental statement? With the same measure that ye mete, it shall be meted back to you. It is His Son Christ Jesus. I am not legalistic in the slightest. But I am faithful in that which is least, which should tell you that I will also be faithful in...

    The Religious Mind

    John 1:1,14, Acts 17:31, 1 Samuel 16:7. There are services for homeless people who desire to be cleaned up. 1 Corinthians 11:3-4, 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

    The Religious Mind

    God became a Man who will be the Judge of all. As a Man, he is going to indeed judge partially on the basis of the outward appearance.

    The Religious Mind

    The head of every man is Christ...and the man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonours his head. So then, while may not be a salvation issue, it does reflect on whether a man loves and respects Christ, if he knows the scriptures in question.

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    In Acts chapter 10, Cornelius' alms were gone up as a memorial before God...yet his salvation did not result out of the almsgiving. He had to call for Peter to come and preach the gospel to them; and the baptism of the Holy Ghost came on them all as the result of the hearing of faith (see...

    Believers stay righteous through their obedience

    Notice that in saying that works don't save a man, we are not saying that a man who is saved will not do good works. Good works are the normal result of a living and saving faith in Jesus Christ. The works don't save...it is the faith that does this. Jesus said, Ye must be born again. If you...

    Jesus' grace saves and "works" are part of that Salvation

    And I disagree with yours. I suppose that we will have to agree to disagree? But we are not made into new creatures through the works that result out of repentance (see Titus 3:5). We are regenerated and renewed by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. So the person in question, as well as...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    1Co 6:1, Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 1Co 6:2, Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1Co 6:3, Know ye not that we...

    The Religious Mind

    Actually I believe in the Trinity although I emphasize the Oneness of the Lord in my teaching. The Trinity is NO lie. Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity. (first four posts especially) So, do you believe that the concept of the Trinity is found in the Bible? Just as the...

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    I was merely referencing what it says in the following scripture... 2Ti 3:1, This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2Ti 3:2, For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2Ti 3:3...

    I Wake Up, The Girdle Of Truth Is First On! (My spiritual belt)

    It is definitely true... I do believe that it is primarily alcoholics who use these things as an excuse to drink when it is simply not expedient to do so... If you are not drinking for the buzz, then drink soda! But if you are drinking for the buzz, then consider that you might be a lover of...

    10 different NT warning-types against eternal security

    The attitude of everyone who is "perfect" would be that "I have room to grow" (Philippians 3:12-15) and, "I am not going backwards." Philippians 3:16)

    Just For Catholics.

    I think that there is a difference between being anti-Catholic and being anti-Catholicism.
