    Scriptures that trinitarians Don't Want You to Know About - #5, Book of Acts

    Jesus Christ is an eternal Spirit, one with the Father. His body was put to death. God is a God of the living. The soul doesn't die when the body physically dies. Human souls are vessels that are meant to contain God's Spirit. God's Spirit is that which has the capacity to be endlessly poured...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    It is the power of the cross that saves us from sin, not an understanding of the cross. We are to be crucified with Him, dead to sin as He is. It is the power of grace that causes us to walk like Jesus, not a belief in grace.

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    Set free from what? Being born again makes you a baby believer. Babies are not mature. The only freedom that Jesus came to bring us is a freedom from the power of sin. And babies are not free from that power. So your idea of salvation is a religious one. Being born again is a change in the inner...

    Human Freewill the devil's greatest trick

    People tend to go to extremes. The truth is in establishing a proper balance between what has led the hasty into the opposing extremes. We indeed have a free choice, but only within the parameters of our present calling. We can choose to follow Christ in our own strength, but that is not to be...

    For any Greek scholars out there.

    We have a generation of believers who are only willing to seek for the kingdom after they are dead. If that is not a great delusion then what is? Are we to seek death...or life in the Spirit? That is the difference between the modern ministries of death as opposed to the apostolic doctrines...

    For any Greek scholars out there.

    Your verse quote is about the saints who walk in the present grace, not some future grace. The modern delusion you espouse has to do with a future grace that causes a liberation from the sin nature, as opposed to the grace that is available now to do so. The verse is in the present tense, not...

    For any Greek scholars out there.

    Thank you for the warm wishes and replies! :) My concern with the translation of that particular verse is that it is speaking of a present grace as opposed to a future grace. The word "teleos" means complete or perfect, not 'end' as in end times. The translators have shifted what is for the...

    For any Greek scholars out there.

    greetings! It's been a while since my last post. I've been writing a book. In the midst of my endeavours I came across this verse which I believe to be poorly translated from the Greek to mean the opposite of the original intent. the verse is 1 Peter 1:13 "Therefore, prepare your minds for...

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    Being Doobie brothers? That depends if people think that Jesus is more than ♪♪"just alright" ♪♪ Otherwise not a chance.

    This reminds me of the Johannine comma. It makes a fine point.

    Is it a sin for a Christian to vote for a Democrat?

    The issue is really about whether voting is sinful or not. Since there is really only a semblance of democracy with very little to choose from in the exercise of the vote, I would say that it is harmful enough. The more importance we put on the vote the more we tend towards trusting in men in...

    do you KNOW the Lord

    Good grief! All that to avoid pressing an elevator button on a Sunday. Otherwise you don't know God? Can you say...futility?

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    And the announcement of there being a Corona virus comes from disease control not us. It's ALL what they have done for us. But does that mean we are now immune from the virus because we "accept" it as true? Quite the opposite, we need to line up our lives with the announcement otherwise we have...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    "Fully sanctified" is His perfection not ours. Inside His righteousness we learn righteousness until we attain to the full stature of Christ IN righteousness in a full maturity. It is a higher righteousness than what man can normally attain. This is the righteousness of saints.

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    Sin has the power to separate us from God. Christ is the power over sin in the person who walks by grace through faith. Nothing can separate us from the love of God....but sin is still sin...and the wages of sin is still death. Paul said if we continue to sow to the flesh....we will reap...

    True View of God

    Not sure what you are getting at here. But I find that the modern generation of believers have been indoctrinated into claiming all the high sounding verses for themselves as if presumption was a virtue. As in...turn the to person next to you and say..."I AM seated in heavenly places in Christ...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    People mainly don't love Jesus...they want something He is offering...namely salvation! Selfishness. People don't want truth..they want security...a covering up of their sins and weaknesses. And so Jesus seems to fit that bill. But the reason why the Jews rejected Jesus was not because they...
