Paul states that "Lo-ammi" (not My people) is the Gentile congregation which has become Israel in the Spirit. Romans 9:24 "Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her...

The church modes are indeed foundational. They are the basis for everything else. In jazz we add in the altered scale (melodic minor) with its own version of modal flavours. This scale adds spice to the dominant chords by adding in more tension (flat or sharp 9, and/or flat or sharp 5). Then...

You are equating a religious set of beliefs with faith. But these are a universe apart. There is no credal salvation. The New Testament is not about adopting a certain dogmatic belief system. It's about walking in a new life, which is by grace through faith.

Why wouldn't works done through a regenerated spirit be not counted as physical outward works? Are spiritual works merely theoretical? The reference of Paul to works are the works of the law which is Judaism. The difficulty in Paul's time wasn't that people were being too kind and helpful of...

People tend to reduce God to what they can wrap their minds around. Much is said that is ill-advised based on that premise. God can see the future as well as the present. So when someone is justified by faith, God already knows whether the person will follow through or not. God knows more than...

Exactly! Good post.

Your reasoning is inverted. The doctrine you are trying to pass off here is from a book written by a person with an immense bias. I can't remember the name of the book, since it is unimportant. It was once given to me as a gift. I made him return it. :) But you are seeing everything upside...

Yes He has. But let's not jump to conclusions concerning what that means! ;) No. There are 2 resurrections each having a good and bad outcome. Like 2 baseball games with each having a winner and a loser. The fire in the Bema judgment seat of Christ is there to prove the works of those who are...

A proper reading shows that the losers at the Bema seat judgment suffer loss, not just a lack of rewards. Fire takes away things so that you escape naked. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Notice the warning of Jesus...

" Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and...

If I am not walking by the power of the Spirit, then of course. My personal condition will fluctuate until I have attained the full stature in Christ. Spiritual maturity is a long and hard fight. Being under the sway of the devil, at least to some degree, is the continuing default position of...

You have to make a distinction between the collective whole and the individual. If it rains outside in a given area then all who are outside will get wet. But if an individual remains inside the house or has an umbrella then that person can stay dry. The weather is not about individuals. The...

Amen. Thus says the Lord :"The Lord has sent Me into the world."

Unless you understand the dual nature of the truth you will be forced to make carnal assertions about the bible that are only half true. Jesus indeed died because of the sins of the whole world. But He was resurrected only for those who would enter into Him. Is it, for God so loved the church...

Being a saint requires that you lay down your life the same way that Jesus did. We give our life over to the Lord in order to partake of His life. If we die with Him then we will also live with Him. If we hold onto our lives then we will lose them. But if we lose our lives for the sake of Christ...

You are right. But that is not the full message of the gospel. There is the power of the message but also the message of the power. The truth has a polarity...a double edged polarity. Have you heard of the double-edged sword that proceeds as the word of truth from the Lord? There is a lower...

Amen Sin isn't just covered by death. A dead sinner doesn't continue to sin. Before a sinner can be married to a new nature, the old nature must be put to death. Like an operating system on a computer. The old system must be first uninstalled before a new one can be installed. Yes. Jesus...

Hey! I've been writing a book which takes up the energy that I used to spend on social media. Thought I'd check in to see how y'all been doin'! ;)

We will always err when we look to people rather than God. The RC establishment places temporal markers over what was once a living spiritual entity. And the Protestants like disagreeing with anything that came before their leader...Luther>>who was NOT sent from God but merely was frustrated in...

I find that people get side-tracked from the dualism that expresses the Godhead. Either people go too far one way or the other. A proper balance is never considered. The Father and the Son are One Spirit. The error is in making the holy Spirit to be a separate person. The Jews knew the work of...
