    What Church is Jesus Building?

    The church of God is a spiritual fellowship in one Body by the Spirit. The enemy will do everything in his power to stop God's people from coming together by the faith OF Christ and advancing into a spiritual maturity that overthrows his dominion over the world...and the churches. The church...

    What Church is Jesus Building?

    Can any man-instituted church claim to be the church that Jesus is building? Where is the church that is growing into the full stature of Christ? Join me as we take a deeper look at what it takes to come under the direct Headship of Christ and become the church that Jesus is building rather than...

    Spirit filled believer?

    Amen. Mostly people will either affirm or deny the gifts of the Spirit based on displaying outward things (like the easily faked tongues)...not an inward life that gives outward evidence. Why do you want outward miracles? God hides Himself...so that the miracles that happen in a spiritual...

    Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth (The Importance of Doctrine Part 2)

    God goes easy on the meek...but hard on the pretenders, who take away from truth and reality and turn what is meant to be life-giving into a dead religion.

    Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth (The Importance of Doctrine Part 2)

    The church is meant to be the pillar and support of the truth. If we can't embody the truth ourselves, we can support the truth wherever we see God working. All can at least minister to the saints...even if we are not walking at that level. That takes some understanding and wisdom. And...

    Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth (The Importance of Doctrine Part 2)

    In this part 2 of a series on the importance of doctrine and discerning (or rightly dividing the word of truth) what we read in the bible; whether we are correctly understanding the narrative or else accepting a deviation from the truth that appeals to our own sense of right and wrong. Is our...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Jesus came to show the way of holiness. The way of an intimate walk...a HIGHER walk in an overcoming grace according to God's power. Modern believers don't believe such things because they have no faith in God's power. What shows that modern religionists have lost the meaning of the gospel is...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    People fully miss the context of Paul's letters. He was addressing problems among people he knew, using a short-hand of concepts that were never meant to be taken as a replacement of the fuller statement found in the Scriptures. "Works of the law" is Judaism. Paul preached a hold on Christ...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Abraham was righteous, Abel was righteous. Phinehas was righteous. In the New Testament...Cornelius was righteous Zachariah and Elizabeth were righteous etc etc etc What you are not getting is that Paul was using shorthand for people whom he knew and you are taking his statements out of...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    It's one thing to have a bible and read it...and quite another to try understanding it. You are not understanding the righteousness attributed to Abraham and the righteousness attributed to God. God isn't Abraham...and Abraham isn't God. The righteousness level is not the same...not even close...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Pathetic. All cloud and no rain. Do you have any points to make beside ad hominem attacks? A ploy of those who are all indoctrination but having no knowledge, wisdom or understanding.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    A number of dishonest trolls invade my threads with foolish arguments and religious grandstanding glorying in their ignorance...quoting verses that have no bearing on the discussion...in an ego charged display, not knowing the scriptures or pretending to understand what is clearly beyond their...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You are a troll...attacking me personally because you have zero argument concerning the subject of this thread. You are a false teacher who is dishonest and disingenuous. You raise no points at all...being indoctrinated into a man-made tradition that denies the scriptures. You have a very...

    Can non-Christians go to Heaven?

    All people will be judged by their works....what they did with what they were given. Too much of modern religion denies the bible narrative and makes up a salvation by having proper beliefs....saving knowledge...which is an influence of Gnosticism. We have free will...and we are here to learn...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    Basically...God saves us from the the world...then He saves us from ourselves.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Do you mean the law of God? The 10 commandments? This is not about personal preference...I think you have been in the modern church too long. ;) The 10 commandments continue into the New Covenant as showing the distinction between righteousness and holiness. There are 4 holiness commandments...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    How vague. An unlearned person sees a word in the bible and adds in their own understanding...through an indoctrination that negates any nuance or level of God's work. So what do you mean by law? The law of Moses? The law of God? The law of sin and death? The law of faith? The law of the...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You are making that parallel...not having any depth of understanding... only a misunderstanding....not being able to discern the difference between an OT style righteousness and the power of God bestowed on the elect by a covering of God's righteousness. Does your error extend to the level of...
