    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    In your scheme Paul wanted everyone to die? To be conformed to the full stature of Christ. The same goes for seeking first the kingdom. Are we to seek to die? Now let's drop the carnal way of seeing things for the spiritual entering into Christ to be where He is and walk as He walked. The...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    If you mean being raptured into Christ to be where He is at the present time then yes. If you mean a future physical taking away, then no. Paul was called to walk in the full stature of Christ...and he wrote to the churches to encourage them to seek the face of God for a walk in resurrection life.

    My New Podcast: Spiritual Christianity

    True...but then again, it is sometimes beneficial to expand our vocabulary where more precise meanings are concerned. :) Take for instance the word "imputation"...now that is a word that people should have looked up before settling on a meaning that is opposite to it. The prevalence in...

    My New Podcast: Spiritual Christianity

    How do you like the idea of putting music behind the verses readings? Is it distracting or helpful?

    My New Podcast: Spiritual Christianity

    The second podcast is already recorded but my technical guy is very busy. Maybe in a few weeks? I think the podcasts will get better as we are still learning how to do them. ;) My aim is one a month once we get going...hopefully 5 or 6 by Christmas. In the distant future I'm hoping to do one...

    My New Podcast: Spiritual Christianity

    The next step after being born of the Spirit, is our own to make. If we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded." James 4:8 The Christian walk is on a whole other...

    Church councils?

    If they are leaving the assembly then there is no point forcing a creed on them. In the early church there was spiritual life. Jesus said...all who are of the truth hear My voice. Would you replace that with a church organization that doesn't need for the Holy Spirit to work? Actually that is...

    Church councils?

    We must make a distinction between those who actually walk in the Spirit (who don't impose religious conditions) and ecclesiastical men who are looking for advantage (like the Pharisees). Look how open the apostles were toward those who possessed eternal life. No point in trying to control the...

    Church councils?

    Why did the ecclesiastical "authorities" not respect the Jerusalem council? Were Peter Paul and James not more authoritative than later pretenders? If God had wanted to create a religious formula (instead of life in the Spirit) why wait 300 years?

    Church councils?

    Church councils...beginning in the 4th century were carnal religious practices meant to excommunicate those whom certain ecclesiastics sought to excommunicate others. Further councils sought to get back at those who had excommunicated them by returning the favour...excommunicating them in...

    What was Jesus' main work?

    Jesus came to bear witness of the truth. The truth is everlasting and exists outside of this temporal simulation of reality. The kingdom realm is of an eternal order. And Jesus came to bridge the gap between two worlds...the temporal and the eternal.

    My new book is out! "The Sum of All Possibilities in Christ"

    Wow. Is my book that compelling that you feel imposed upon? ;) Actually you have very little to go on with the book sample. You have made up your mind quickly and without enough knowledge and understanding of what I'm presenting. Many will do the very same thing with the way they read the...

    My new book is out! "The Sum of All Possibilities in Christ"

    You are reasoning from a previous conditioning and using the word "unsaved" from a religious perspective. There are layers to the meaning of words in the Bible that you are not aware of. Are you presently saved from the power of sin? The gospel is about freedom FROM sin...not freedom IN sin. You...

    My new book is out! "The Sum of All Possibilities in Christ"

    Actually I'm trying to restore the whole counsel of God back into our collective understanding. This book provides an outline to the framework in which God is building His Church...and how He sees things...from HIS perspective...who is NOT a respecter of persons. And yes, more books are in the...
