    The Mark of the Beast is Paper Money and Fiat Currency

    I'll leave it...it's false doctrine for one, and secondly, it's false doctrine.

    The Cross and The Devil

    Indeed he has: Heb 2:14, Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Heb 2:15, And deliver them who through fear of death were all their...

    Please read the following passages: Jer 32:38, And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: Jer 32:39, And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: Jer 32:40, And I will make an everlasting covenant...

    The Cross and The Devil

    I think that God the Father gave His Son as a ransom for all...1 Timothy 2:6. The devil required Jesus' death in return for releasing the prisoners that he had captivated by sin.

    The Cross and The Devil

    Do you think that the devil understood these prophecies that foretold the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ? See John 1:5 (kjv).

    The Cross and The Devil

    It depends on whether they had consciousness and will when they committed the crime; and/or whether they can find deliverance from the demonic influences that caused them to commit the crime.

    Technically anyone can walk away....however the fear of the LORD, if it is securely planted in the heart, will absolutely prevent a man from doing so.

    It is the for ever fear of the LORD spoken of in Jeremiah 32:38-40 and Psalms 19:9 that motivates us to stay as close to Jesus as possible...thus we will never overstep the boundary that defines salvation. If anyone does not have that fear, I suppose that they can overstep that boundary...but I...

    However it is not the good fruit that saves...rather it is the relationship wherein the person is connected as a branch to the vine. The good fruit is only the natural result of that relationship. So then, let it be our endeavor to cultivate a relationship with Jesus Christ rather than to do...

    The Cross and The Devil

    I have made my case that satan entered into the heart of Judas Iscariot in order to strike the death blow to Jesus in putting him on the Cross. Was the Father in agreement? You betcha. But not for the same reasons.

    The Cross and The Devil

    they did crucify the Lord of glory, did they not?

    My personal walk with God through faith:

    Rom 5:17, For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Rom 5:18, Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the...

    Therefore it can be determined whether a branch is truly connected, by whether it bears good fruit or not. Which is not to say that good fruit saves the branch. The branch is saved unto the bearing of good fruit; and the good fruit is the only true evidence that the branch is connected...

    The branch may be on the vine physically...but not connected enough to draw up nourishment from it so that it can bear good fruit.

    Faith has within its connotation a situation of abiding in Him. If someone is not abiding in Him, it is because they do not have faith...and vice versa. We abide in faith, as a matter of fact; and we also abide by and through faith.

    The Cross and The Devil

    To make it clear, the devil entered into Judas Iscariot to accomplish the final betrayal; and so was directly responsible for Jesus' death. Also, John 8:44 makes it clear that the devil was a murderer from the beginning. Knowing this, God orchestrated circumstances to make that clear to all of...

    Justification (and faith) is something that affects the heart of a man so that he will do good works when given the opportunity. That being said, I will declare that salvation and the imputation of God's righteousness to us begins with faith, ends with faith, and is by faith all the way through...
