I am of course talking about true fellowship or koinoneia. This is a closeness that we have to certain other believers because we know them really well. And we can't know them to the fullest extent possible if they are hiding from us who they really are. Neither can they know us if we are...

Fellowship (koinoneia) is strongly something that has to do with knowing each other for who the other person is. If we are not transparent, there can be no such fellowship as that. We must walk in the light as He is in the light.

Rom 4:1, What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? Rom 4:2, For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. Rom 4:3, For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for...

So you believe that the converted are immediately made perfect in character and behaviour? Let's get your take on this issue for future reference.

Hezekiah is an example where God was about to take Hezekiah's life even though he was perfect in his own eyes. He would have taken his life after telling him that that was what He was going to do, except that Hezekiah "chirped incessantly" until the Lord relented from His purpose; the result of...

Based on my own experience that when I behave according to biblical doctrine (for example, when I have religious preoccupation, 1 Peter 2:1-3, Psalms 1) or a persecution complex (Matthew 5:10-12, 2 Timothy 3:10-12), I am then put in a situation where, more often than not, I am released after ten...

I believe that the most important thing that brings fellowship between real believers is transparency before the Lord and men. 1Jo 1:7

Those redeemed of the church of Smyrna (see Revelation 2:8-11), while they may not inherit the kingdom of God for that sorcery has been forced upon them (through the Mental Health System, which forces believers to take drugs over the fact that they believe in such a way as to be evident that...

I pray for the Gungors that the Lord will send people down their path who see Christianity from the perspective that the Lord has--and that they will lead them back into a faith that is in Jesus Christ and that does not put their trust in men and/or the established church. I think that if you...

Now @Dave L is saying that Buddha was exhibiting the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Truly, he is one sad puppy.

Well, thank you for praying for us, since the choice is not ours but is entirely up to God. The call to repentance is a moot point in Calvinism because we do not have a choice in the matter. Therefore I think that our best bet for being saved might be to oppose Calvinists in their doctrine so...

King David definitely went to heaven according to the following verses: Psa 21:1, [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! Psa 21:2, Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden...

1Co 1:10

You're wrong to relate God to what makes our stomach churn and our skin to crawl. God is good.

The point being that, even with your response, there is such a thing as an innocent life (the saved life). And therefore, my point has been made quite nicely.
