It boggles the mind to consider where all this false teaching is coming from. Modern religious people will speak DIRECTLY against the Bible (denying that we will be judged by our works not our religious presumptions) in order to formulate an ideology that is strictly prohibited in the Bible. No...

Yes He did. But you are missing the scale of what Jesus is speaking about. The next step after the righteousness of the Pharisees is not the righteousness of God. You give the Pharisees way too much credit. The next step is to be honest, be humble and fear the Lord. All these things the...

What I see in all these debates is a fundamental lack of understanding of God's ways and the nature of the kingdom of God. EVERYTHING in God's order has a ranking. Without ranking everything would be the same. God would be no greater than us..or else only slightly so. The idea of co-equality...

Who is in fact playing a numbers game? The New Testament is about the coming of Christ and the revelation of Christ. How many testaments do we need to reveal the duality of God? 1+1= 2 What we see is an avoidance of this simple formula that explains the GodHead. People are told to either see...

The simplicity spoken about by Paul is not what you think. Older translations don't use words the same way we do. And that tends to confuse the ones who already have certain ideas. Here is the Greek word and its meaning (simplicity) ἁπλότης haplotēs hap-lot'-ace From G573; singleness, that...

Both the grace and the faith are gifts of God. We can receive grace by our own faith at the beginning as a sample of God's goodness. But to get the full measure of grace we will need a greater source of faith...the faith OF Christ. Jesus said that even the tiniest amount of faith (NT faith...

The Holy Ghost said... The Bible was written by inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Why doesn't it say that men wrote it? The words are God-breathed. Now, in a meeting where people are present and one of them speaks by the Spirit...we don't name the person who spoke it as it is from the Spirit...

We need all the parts of the Body to be connected and functioning together. Some of the gifts are catalyst gifts. Like apostles and prophets for believers...and evangelists for unbelievers. Without these gifts...nothing gets going. Then there are the gifts that are meant to deepen the connection...

Corporate growth in grace does not preclude individual growth in grace...in fact one precludes the other. We need for some to seek the full measure of grace for the good of the whole Body. The full measure is putting on Christ...whose perfection we walk in as we are translated into the kingdom...

How can you be in a group that makes themselves exclusive to others based on a premise? If someone starts a group called "the faithful in Christ" and the "cleverly" asks others...are you part of the "faithful in Christ" ...meaning that if you do not belong to his group then you can't be...

Do you claim to know more about grace than Peter? "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." 2 Pet. 3:18 "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord," 2 Pet. 1:2...

A physical building? No. Jesus established His church as a spiritual entity with spiritual life and authority. Seated in heavenly places WITH Christ. Any human temporal organization can claim to be the Lord's church. But there is a heavenly authority to consider...not just an ecclesiastical...

We all have a spirit that is a container within us. I see other spirits as a mean of conveyance of influence from beyond the temporal world that can enter into our spirits either temporarily or in a more permanent way. We can see a cell phone as something that is able to speak to us...like a...

And that's fine. I think we come at this with a tilted balance scale...in favour of what was decided by men a long time ago. But as spiritual people we have the ability to look beyond the teaching of the masses...since creeds were meant to conform basically non-believers into a religion that was...

People are allowed to deviate from the biblical admonitions in something we call...freedom of expression. People are free to draw the wrong conclusions. Making up creeds is itself a deviation from the biblical admonition to privately interpret the Bible according to our beliefs and preferences...

I think that once a person gets that idea in their minds...it becomes very difficult to look into the issue in any deeper way.

This is true of course. To escape from the carnal nature of the outer man requires being transported to be where God is. In His presence there is no sin. The Father is a source of life....but so is the Son. The Son is not just a partaker of the divine nature but also a source of life...He is...

Van Healing..... Grant Amy....the Morton tabernacle choir... (heard these on a Christian comedy site)

I think there is flexibility there seeing the mystery is so deep. Tertullian said that the GodHead is both 2 AND 3. He saw that it could work both ways...but he preferred the trinity idea. I'm just trying to put the 2 back into Tertullian. :) In the end when we are translated to a heavenly walk...

Don't you see what the verses are telling you? God is present in His Spirit. God is Spirit. The Father is in His Spirit. The Spirit BRINGS God to us...His presence...AND the Spirit brings us to God...by His Spirit.
