    (Mis)understanding Salvation

    Read Isaiah 61:1 Does it say that Jesus came to forgive sins? People want unconditional forgiveness based on lip service and religious beliefs. But people will be judged for what they did. If they lied about God they will be rejected from the kingdom. Yet people will wipe their mouths and...

    (Mis)understanding Salvation

    We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. All it takes is an unwavering faith...a full assurance of God's goodness, power and will to save us to the utmost.

    The social gospel?

    You are not understanding Paul. The cross he spoke of was the power that separated him from the world. Paul said he gloried in the cross..not as you do...but as the power that crucified his outer man to liberate him into the higher walk with Christ. You have a very superficial grasp of what...

    The social gospel?

    It's not the preaching of the cross that is the power... it's the cross that has the power to save the inner man by crucifying the outer man ego.

    The social gospel?

    Words on a page, a million miles from where you are. Where there is freedom from sin, no more offering is necessary. The power of God unto salvation is to walk as Jesus walked in His presence and power.

    The social gospel?

    As people become smug is their assurance of salvation....many will forsake any notion of keeping God's laws...becoming slack and even despising the commandments of God. Jesus said that the whole Old Testament is based on 2 laws Love God Love your neighbour In a bid to prop up a religious...

    (Mis)understanding Salvation

    This is such an important subject and one that is very easily misunderstood, given the present climate that is so affected by the various winds of doctrine being bandied about. The best remedy for misunderstanding salvation, as it turns out, is to understand it in all its subtleties. Join me as...

    Test of a Prophet moved by the Holy Spirit

    A NT prophet is different from an OT prophet. The testimony of Christ is the spirit of prophecy. Disciples who have been permitted entry into the higher kingdom walk of the Spirit ARE prophets...as these have experienced the eternal life, and as such are qualified to discern the words from...

    Misunderstanding Paul with Tovia Singer

    The easy ones...I know. Just repeat spiritual "sounding" verse and you will be blessed. So be it.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You are saying that the Vatican is right? That Jesus was pointing to a symbol of eating and drinking? How do you eat the body of Christ LITERALLY? Of course there was a literal body and blood. But you confuse things with a double metaphor. How are we to eat His flesh...literally? You say that...

    Misunderstanding Paul with Tovia Singer

    Jesus BORE the sins of mankind...but those sins were NOT imputed to Him. They are OUR sins not His. Without the cross we would be forever in bondage to sin. The cross of Christ crucifies the outer man so that the inner man can be lifted into intimacy with God. Jesus came to take away the sins...

    Misunderstanding Paul with Tovia Singer

    The whole idea of Jesus being blamed for the sins of men by a righteous God so that He would see dishonest and rebellious sinners as being as pure and blameless as Jesus IN their sins...is a fable...an outright lie. Keep publishing iniquity...because it is foretold this would happen. But woe...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Agree with you on the second point...but on the first, Babylon is much bigger than any one church organization. Luther wanted a big institution...a rival organization...and with all the various religions opinions out there, made thousands of denominations...with their affiliate franchises. God...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Do you drink the blood of Christ and eat His flesh? Or do you just "fluff it"?

    Misunderstanding Paul with Tovia Singer

    People, believers included, tend to respect credentials...human credentials... as if these qualify a person to represent God. But God doesn't choose what men choose. God has another way. His ways are much higher, and deeper than the ways of men. Men look outwardly...but God looks inwardly. Many...

    The Key to Discipleship

    In your religious opinion. Of course the modern understanding of being born again means a simple mind decision...nothing there. The opposite is true. It is by way of the cross that the inner man is lifted into the kingdom realm. Wisdom comes little by little. Understanding comes in an...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    This is naive. The bible is not about world history or foreign policies....it's about spiritual revelation. The carnal mind is a barrier to understanding the bible. Don't be fooled by physical comparisons.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    That is obvious...and the limit of your understanding..what is obvious. But to run according to men or your own standard...as opposed to the standard of Christ indeed gets us disqualified. Calling oneself saved doesn't make it so. Reading the bible doesn't make someone a doer of the word...

    The Key to Discipleship

    This is where your unbelief comes into play. I have known all truth...in the Person of Christ....walking In Him...walking as He did. Your position is that of an unbeliever....biblically speaking...in truth. "Howbeit when the Spirit of truth, is come, it will guide you into all truth: for it...
