They are strong words sister, but the church sure does need that reminder these days.

This is the default nature of a fallen unbelieving world isn't it brother, unfortunately. We were blessed to have seen the blessings of a Chrisitanized, less sinful era in the west even though not everyone was born again, and many pagans/heathen were even leaving their own Godless dark...

Ah Epi…preaching to yourself again I see, as you so often do. I pray you will look in the mirror for yourself and that the Lord may yet be merciful and gracious to help get the log out of your eye. A wonderful thing about our Saviour is that we don't need to be afraid of being honest about...

No, if I may interject on this....in a society that is actually just, this is a government doing its God ordained job as per Romans 13. But we must be clear that this is not the church's job, only governments of this world. But do you know the word of God says we are not to be...

And when we prove the devil wrong at any time or on any thing, by the word of God, and he has no way to argue, he resorts to being mean and ugly. Very predictable. Occurs to me that this must be the devil's very nature..... he is too proud to ever be corrected and have the ability to ever...

Thank you brother. We can see how this is a battle of a spiritual nature. From what I can see, having a background in healthcare, what this woman did on behalf of her patients and for their sakes was respectful of the rules, professional and responsible. She had some unease about the...

Yes, and just to say I'm not heeding anyone here, but I am willing to hear what they have to say to understand where they are coming from and try to sort out the wheat from the chaff. But unfortunately nobody has taken me up on my offer to expound and look at how they are seeing those...

Much more these days it seems....sign of the times....it is a falling away that is happening. There are those who have both belief and testimonies. And neither of those things necessarily equates to right understanding. No idea what you are trying to say here, aside from it apparently being a...

Splitting hairs and putting too fine a point on that word "eis". John also said ye believe in (eis) God, believe also in (eis) me. If we have true faith and have received Christ by His Spirit we have believed "into" or "unto" or "on" or "in" Him. Now we are instructed that we must remain in...

Yes. But the point I was making is that sincere and genuine born again believers who have received Christ and His Spirit do not typically start out practicing lawlessness and iniquity. We are righteous living though not perfected yet, and as well God's righteousness is being imputed to us by...

Should we make that scripture void? "People" are not God. When HE calleth that which be not as though they are....they ARE. The creation of a new creature.

Who is practicing lawlessness and iniquity? Hopefully not the people of God. If any are, they need to wake up and stop it pronto or be in danger of their soul. And I know that is unfortunately true of far too many these days who claim Christ. But in any case you are referring to what Jesus...

But He HAS made us righteous. When we received Christ and became born again, He picked us up and turned us 180 degrees from our life of sin to a life of righteousness where we delight to do His will. Even if not perfectly yet. He has "imputed" His righteousness to us because we are not yet...

There is no one righteous, no not one. All have gone their own way.

"Go get your salvation from God"........yes, but He is not separate from His own word which He Himself breathed.....and the Word was made flesh. God's word is the seed which through the Spirit conceives and gives birth to the new man. We were born again through receiving the word/seed of the...

Never said those passages save anyone. You questioned something I said, that God saves those who are foreknown by Him, and I posted the scriptures that I had learned it from. And you have no response to that apparently. In any case I will respond here to how you seem to be questioning Paul and...

It's a general word of instruction to the body of Christ, so we are not on our own with it. But it isn't meant to be an intellectual exercise for the carnal mind, but rather through the Spirit to renew our minds and feed, strengthen and build us up in the inner man of our spirit.

We're all called to put on the full armour of God, which includes the sword of the Spirit, God's word.

These scriptures I posted were written by Paul, Peter and I think it was Luke who wrote Acts. I consider all new testament writings to be inspired word of God.

Not my opinion......it's the word of God. Bible says we are elect according to His foreknowledge, which means we were foreknown by Him. As I understand it, it is on that basis we are considered to be predestinated and appointed to eternal life etc. Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also...
