    The 2 Levels of Holiness

    OK....so this is going to be difficult for some people here. Since this isn't taught in sunday school this will not be understood or accepted so easily. :) But to those who love the truth and want to go deeper than sunday school...here is a thread that will take you deeper (by faith of course)...

    The Gate of Heaven שַׁעַר הַשָּׁמָיִם

    This is going to be an in depth study about the identity of Jesus Christ.....as per both testaments. I will be drawing a parallel between Gen. 28 and John 1 Jacob's ladder... Gen. 28:12 And he (Jacob) dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and...

    The Proof of Salvation

    The only proof of salvation (that can't be duplicated by the outer man) is that we love. We are saved BY love in order TO love. Too simple? This is the simplicity which is in Christ. How will people know that our gatherings are of the people of God? By the love that warms the gathering. You...

    Binding and Loosing

    Binding and Loosing “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Mat 18:18 When Jesus spoke these words His listeners already knew something about binding and loosing. In the Jewish tradition...

    The Christian renunciation of power

    I am starting this thread to discuss the difference between the way of Christ by the Spirit...and the modern cultural form of Christianity that seeks to give temporal governments credibility. The Christian way is not just a way of non-violence...but a total renunciation of all temporal power...

    The Big Picture

    Scientists seek continually for the "Theory of Everything"...that is one theory that ties in and harmonizes the law of the Big (the ways of the universe, gravity etc...) together with the law of the Small (quantum theory). The subject is vast and is far beyond the mortal mind to grasp. I don't...

    The Puzzle

    The bible could be seen as an incoherent mess...with statements flying about in no particular order...with even blatant contradictory statements. Many claim to understand the depth of the word...but these overclaim their ability by simply leaving out or ignoring the verses that contradict their...

    Presence or Presents?

    Jesus promised that He would not leave us orphans...that He would send the Parakletos....the Comforter (He who comes to one's side). That means we need never be away from God's presence. The truth is that we can bask in His presence always. This is the unspeakable gift. There are different...

    Heavenly Citizenship

    Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the LORD Jesus Christ, What is meant that our citizenship is from heaven? When a person is born in a certain country, that person can be said to belong to that country....the land of our birth. If a...

    Metanoia

    Metanoia is a journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life. In the bible it is translated as "repentance." Metanoia means "after-thought." But it is more than a one-time event or action. Repentance is a process of going from being carnal to being spiritual in Christ. We are to...

    The War on Error

    Ever since the declaration of "Mission Accomplished" by those who see the bible as "the way, the truth, and the life"...the insurgency of error (or errorists) has been on the rise. Just as Paul Bremmer confidently declared that everything he did was directed by the Lord (he did read the bible)...

    The Natural Man

    This is a follow-up thread to the thread entitled "The Inner Man." Other ways of calling the natural man are ...the carnal man, or outward man. This subject merits a deeper study as the natural man, above all else, gets in the way of spiritual growth in Christ. There is nothing more difficult...

    What constitutes Apostolic tradition?

    Paul tells us that we are to follow the traditions as laid down by the apostolic example. But what constitutes apostolic tradition? I will begin by saying that the primacy of spiritual life and anointing in church leadership is upheld in that tradition. In our time a lot of people won't even...

    The Inner Man

    Let us define our terms before beginning into a study on what constitutes the ceiling of the inner man to the faith OF Jesus Christ. We could see ourselves as a seed with a protective husk around it. The outer husk is the natural man, the carnal man...who so often is presented as being who we...

    Against Gnosticism

    It is unfortunate that we need a thread to expose another man made "ism". But people can't help themselves I suppose. So the purpose of this thread is to expose the error and heresy of Gnosticism...which at least some on this board have fallen into. Now there are various degrees of...

    The Book of Remembrance.

    Here is a subject that few speak of...and yet it is rather an important consideration when it comes to we who actively seek to advance with God. Mal. 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written...

    The Double-edged Sword

    Greetings fellow forum members. Here is a study and a meditation about the nature of God's word....together with a deeper look at what signifies the dual nature of our calling in Christ. The sword, for our purposes will be seen as a spiritual weapon. Not as a weapon that kills, as in...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Spiritual warfare, as the name implies, is not against flesh and blood. It is in the realm we are being called to as salvation in this present time. There are 2 levels of warfare for the would-be saint. There is the personal battle...and the war to win the world for Christ. What is little...

    Will the Anti-Christ come from Canada?

    Ok. Got the attention of some of ya. ;) I just wanted to put up the name of a country OTHER than the US all the time! :) Even the idea of calling the country the U.S. It kinda makes every other country appear as T.H.E.M. You know the old US and THEM mentality. Anyhow, thanks for dropping by!

    Many are called but few are chosen

    Mat. 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. So who are the many? Who are the chosen? Chosen by whom? and how?...and for what?
