    Jesus said, you will be hated by all men for My name's sake.

    Since it is a reality Tv show, they don't use actors. I believe he is; based on the way he was hated by all of the other contestants.

    The Power to not sin in the flesh

    A consistent walk according to the Spirit, is then the goal.

    God's Righteousness Through Faith

    Also 1 Peter 1:22. It is not a requirement but a privilege. He has shed abroad His love in our hearts through the Holy Ghost; and this love is the fulfillment of the righteousness of the law within us. It is a supernatural work of the Holy Ghost within us that is not accomplished because it...

    Jesus said, you will be hated by all men for My name's sake.

    I am really hurting for my brother in Christ's sake. They really slammed him (Luke P., yet again) on the show tonight. He took it like a real man of the Lord; but I know that he is hurting because they really attempted to destroy his honour in this last episode. I pray for him that he will...

    The Power to not sin in the flesh

    If we have the power not to sin in the flesh, but sin in the flesh anyway, there can be no other reason but rebellion against the Lord. And that is why the devil fell in the beginning.

    God's Righteousness Through Faith

    Of course, Romans 8:7 will tell you that if you are spiritually-minded, you are subject to the law of God within your mind. And also, Romans 8:4 would tell us that if we walk according to the Spirit rather than the flesh, the righteousness of the law will be fulfilled in us. Hebrews 8:8-10 and...

    The Power to not sin in the flesh

    See Revelation 22:19 (kjv). Rev 22:19, And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. I would much rather be guilty of adding to the...

    The Power to not sin in the flesh

    1 John 1:8 does not say, If we say that we do not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If it said that, it would be in contradiction to 1 John 3:5-9. It says, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. This indicates that all of us have...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    The free gift of righteousness is a practical thing in the life of the one who receives it: Mat 5:6, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Rom 5:19, For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    This should be easily evidenced by the fact that those who want to deny basic tenets of the holy scriptures (such as the Trinity)...go to other translations and also appeal to alternative meanings that seem acceptable in the original Greek. However, these are always amateur Greek scholars; they...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    And also, in the final estimation of what you believe the verse says, you have taken out completely the concept of "His name shall be called" as referring to the name of "the son that was given." If you put this statement ahead of your estimation of what the verse finally means, it simply does...

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    Actually, the Trinitarian creeds do not present Father and Son as separate but as distinct. It is my belief that the Father is not the Son; which does not mean that the reverse isn't true, that the Son is the Father. The latter statement is indeed true. As for the rest of your post, I find...

    Wet Paint Principle (Freedom)

    Our striving is both "against sin" (Hebrews 12:4) and "to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus." (Colossians 1:28-29)

    Please explain this.

    1Jo 3:1, Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1Co 2:15 (nkjv), But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

    Please explain this.

    Truly, there are three tenets within psychology that are intended to be a source of persecution for those who would live out their life faithfully as believers in Christ: 1) persecution complex: if someone believes such verses as Matthew 5:10-12, Luke 6:22, and/or 2 Timothy 3:10-12 to the...

    Please explain this.

    I believe that the religion of psychology was prophesied about in the following scripture: Psa 119:69, The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

    Please explain this.

    Amen brother. I find that more and more, I surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in those situations where my flesh would seek to assert itself so that I would do what I want to do rather than what the Holy Spirit wants for me.

    Commentary on Romans.

    Rom 6:20, For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. Rom 6:21, What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. Rom 6:22, But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto...
