Romans 4:1-8, 1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father , as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness...

Of course, witchcraft in itself is the practice of producing altered states of consciousness through drugs. Witchcraft or sorcery, in the Greek, is pharmakeia, which is the word we get our English word pharmacy from.

@APAK, First you have to change the wording so that it says father of eternity..and then you change the wording again so that it says father of the coming age. My conclusion: the only way you can defend your presuppostion that Jesus isn't God is by changing the wording of scripture (twice in...

What about them?

Did I even mention anything about hell? I was merely describing what heaven is like... btw, there is a time and place for hellfire and damnation preaching...otherwise the Lord Himself would have never taught on the subject!

Yes, let's take that phrase back from those who practice an abomination.

I suggest taking a pencil or highlighter and underlining or highlighting verses that speak to you or jump out at you. Sometimes you can just underline phrases. This is what I do; and when I go back and read it again it helps me to memorize and also to think of what I understood the first time...

I'm in full agreement with that, brother. It took me a long time to get over the teaching that made me very focused on establishing my own righteousness (see Romans 9:30-33, Romans 10:1-4, which was a part of the remedy to that). Even though I only looked into the material briefly; because a...

I started my Bible Study with Plain Truth Magazine. It led me down the wrong path. An article within it made me believe that the Pharisee in the parable of the Pharisee and the publican was the example to emulate. It wasn't until many years later that I came to the understanding that the...

I think we will have to agree to disagree. I can't say that my door is always open to you however; not because I don't love you but because of 2 John 1:9-10 (kjv).

Welcome!

In John 17:3 the Greek word for "and" is "kai" which can be translated "even". So John 17:3 might read, And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, even Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

That doesn't change my perspective one bit (see Hebrews 11:1). Do you think that the father of eternity isn't God?

Nancy, here are some scriptures I feel led to give to you: Philippians 4:6-7 and Colossians 3:15. So the peace of God is indeed a gauge by which you can determine the truth. Recognize, however, that the peace of God is something that passes all understanding: it is such a pervading peace that...

I will pray for you Nancy. Keep Luke 16:10 in mind (concerning doctrine); and continue to pray that your understanding develops over time. What matters most is how we perceive things concerning doctrine at the end of our lives (but of course if we teach false doctrine in the interim, we will...

John 1:8? Did I miss something?

Yes, that is why I prefer the King Jimmy. Because it keeps in the material that is omitted by other translations. And I would rather not be cheated out of what the Holy Ghost might want to say to me through His word.

Or, since this "different way" is being told to her before she prayed, it is very likely the devil seeking to show her "a different way" other than the truth.

Actually, John 5:18 was a statement made by the apostle John under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.

The church I am currently attending is a Calvary Chapel but I have some background with the Oneness Pentecostals. My view on the Trinity is somewhere in between what is taught by the respective parties mentioned. I have thought on what it might be for quite some time and have thought to write...
