    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    How can so many believers all agree on things that are NOT found in the bible...and all collectively ignore what is indeed written in the bible...without the slightest protest? It is indoctrination. The way that children believe in Santa Claus. The answer is to put away childish things and...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    that is UNTIL we come to the unity in the full stature of Christ. None of this is automatic. The prophetic ministry HAS TO BE restored according to how Paul describes how the ekklesia is to meet. We will never agree on things if we willfully ignore the biblical admonitions. As long as we...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    It isn't for us to declare ourselves righteous based on our beliefs. Everything is coming from us and a religious imagination in that case. God must intervene personally in the life of the individual...if we are to have a unique and personal testimony of Christ. And this goes beyond a change in...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    No one is as righteous as Christ, therefore that level of righteousness is always His own and can never be imputed to us. You simply don't understand spiritual things.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Paul would disagree with you. And every other author of the bible too. Exploiters of God are not championed in either testament.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Hey Shep. The problem lies with a lack of depth in the theologians who try to cover up their ignorance with their convoluted attempt to make sense about something they haven't experienced. Having an interest to study the bible is not the same as being an apostle or prophet. And people that...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The gospel was presented to the world at the time of the early church through a living testimony backed up by the Old Testament Scriptures. The written New Testament came later. Does our understanding of the gospel line up with the Scriptures?

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    Not at this time (in this life). Jesus is the only door to salvation. The only way to the Father. There is no other power or law but Christ that saves a person from sin and death. But that doesn't mean that God will not have mercy on those who never knew Jesus. The world will be judged by their...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    Yes. Yes. Exactly what it says. Jesus died for the sins of the world...not just the church or those who heard of Him. We will be judged by our works, not our beliefs. OK

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    And yet God will forgive iniquity. We all have a share in iniquity...even King David. But we can't say that God hates David...who worked iniquity. So then the seal of the Lord is to DEPART from iniquity (I hope you got that part)....meaning to forsake what God hates. You are missing the deeper...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    I am weary with repenting." (Jeremiah 15:6) Upon further examination...I hadn't looked at the Hebrew initially... the word for repenting actually is NACHAM which has more to do with comforting or rest. When God says "they shall not enter My rest" because of unbelief....I think that covers the...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    Thanks for your comment, and good observation. You are right about the other context, that of God's own repenting, of that statement, that I didn't mention. But the study of the bible at depth shows more than one aspect or level to God's word. Basing this on what God is doing and what we are...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    I don't have the same motives as you. I'm trying to help fellow believers out of any false delusion they may have picked up and steer them toward the actual truth who is Christ. You have adopted the shallow gospel of the Bourgeoisie. Th truth is that the gospel is about liberation from the...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    Are you interested in deeper life issues, spiritual truth and reality, ultimate purpose, community and authenticity? There is a spiritual war being waged over the souls of God's people. Most have no understanding of where they are in an eternal context. How far out from our comfort zone are we...

    Are you interested in deeper life issues, spiritual truth and reality, ultimate purpose, community and authenticity? In this episode we explore spiritual gifts. Are these still relevant in these modern times? If so, what is their purpose? Can the church fulfill God's will without them?

    Intimacy with God

    Is it a wonder that so few are interested in knowing God for Himself. No. Most only think of God in self-interest. Yet, the greatest commandment is to know and love the One who created all things, including those who are not interested in any kind of deeper knowing of Him. Surely these honour...

    The Breaking of the Lord.

    Without breaking there is no holiness, and without holiness none shall see the Lord. How many believers care about holiness?
