    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Fathom is the right word. You need to understand things in their proper depth. Otherwise you are splashing in puddles and trying to understand how a sailboat works. There are 2 levels of righteousness...one is under the law...what men can do. And one is under grace, walking in the power of...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Typical knee jerk reaction to what is only valid in your mind. You need to actually quote what I say....not declare your own mind. And I haven't yet filled in the map with all its nuances and permutations so as to declare what the final chart looks like. I use actual biblical evidence from BOTH...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    How naive can one get? You put your trust in religious clerics who blatantly add to the word...and have no other source for a particular bent than what was added in If you had a real faith and understanding you would not put all your faith in one verse that was added in at a later time...there...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    It's so funny that people much prefer what DEVIATES from the way of Christ...such as the man-made religious scheme that made Christianity a state religion...rather than a living way in Christ. Men have adopted a religious version of the gospel in order to remain worldly and still claim to be...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    In this first part of a five part series on reviving biblical Christianity we lay out a definitive illustrative chart taken from the bible narrative that reveals God's ways - joined together by Jesus into one "Way" in Him. While this may seem to be too daunting a task to have undertaken...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    The "add-on" to the Gospel of Mark refers to the "Longer Ending" (Mark 16:9–20), widely considered by scholars to be a 2nd-century addition rather than part of the original text. It was likely added to provide a more satisfactory conclusion, as the original text ends abruptly at 16:8 with the...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    We are to seek first the kingdom... until we find ourselves walking in an eternal realm of life, peace, and eternal love in a miraculous supernatural light. God wants to give us His rest, but our attitude, surrender and faith are required. He gives grace to the humble. Coming up on the...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    I don't think that many understand the depth of the gospel and the power available to us by the faith of Christ. Take the last statement from Acts 10:43. "whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." The believing INTO Him is not about human beliefs, it is about a gift of...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Willing to accept a religious proposition, you mean. This is not biblical at all. Jesus rejects people who have a dubious character, not wanky beliefs. Beliefs register to God like opinions. Faith, on the other hand, overcomes sin and walks with God in holiness. He rejects the religiously smug...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Agreed. But who said actually following Christ (not just pretending to) was easy? The easy way is the wide way where people conform to a self-serving ideology that doesn't actually know God at all. It follows the crowd. But only a very few will be honest enough to repent and wait on the Lord...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    You are judging FROM the rabbit trail. The wages of sin is death...eternal truth. That's not the rabbit trail. The rabbit trail is: "for ME (because I'm special) God bends the law in my favour. For ME the wages of sin is not death." Like Agag who thought the shadow of death was in the past...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    The wages of sin is death. That is an everlasting truth. Jesus EMPOWERS people by grace through faith to overcome sin just as He did. But there are very FEW followers of Jesus anymore. Most follow a decoy religion about Jesus...turning Him into an idol or genie to be exploited. But such will be...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    This reasoning is not of God. Again with the faulty reasoning and misunderstanding the scriptures. The equation listed in Rom 6:23 is not a preference choice. Both sides remain true. God judges righteously without preference. Those who have received grace will be judged harder, not get off...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    No, God will have mercy on whom He wills. He does not tell people who that is in advance. Show a little wisdom, humility and fear of the Lord. Buck the trend... ...or not. :rolleyes:

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    You are missing the part where the elect are saved for glory. Do you think that the sermon on the mount only lasted for a year or so so that once Jesus was crucified and resurrected... the meek no longer inherit the earth? Saints are saved for glory. But God's mercy extends to those who DO what...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    ...yes, and also of the elect.

    Stages of Growth in Christ (crucial to know)

    Pretty close. A few minor inaccuracies.

    Stages of Growth in Christ (crucial to know)

    Why are so many believers stuck in the initial phase of the Christian walk? Is it because of unwillingness, or a lack of knowledge about how to proceed....or both? In this episode we will begin to uncover the stages of growth in Christ and their importance, as it is laid out in the Bible.

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Hey Azim, :) I was thinking of doing an episode on "we are living in a simulation". There is a lot of biblical evidence for this....going from a deep sleep to awakening into the light of eternal reality. <><

    Impediments to Spiritual Growth in Christ.

    Don't be fooled by the foolish purveyors of fiction. These would say...I still sin although I have already been delivered from sin. These same thinkers would say that they have raised the dead but that the dead have not yet realized it yet. A fictional belief system. When someone claims...
