    What is Freedom?

    @Addy What you need to know about sin is how God sees sin. He classifies sin in two categories 1 John 5:16-17; Numbers 15:22-29, 30-36 1 John 3:4 are sins unto death. These are what Jesus immediately frees us from when we are filled with His Spirit - IF we have truly repented and are then...

    Of course! I believe Jesus. Do you believe the false teachers instead?

    What is Freedom?

    Sinless and perfection are two different accomplishments of the Spirit. Jesus cleanses us from sin and gives us the indwelling sinless Spirit of Christ to walk in. He also give us the fruit of the Spirit. It is the maturing of the fruit that takes longer leading to perfection. 2 Peter 1:2-11...

    What is Freedom?

    Jesus said, the truth shall set you free. And the context is He frees us from sin, specifically the sin nature making us a new nature referred to as being born again. John 8:32-36; 1 John 3:5. We are no longer sinners, but children of God, the only ones going to heaven. Sinners will not inherit...

    The Theory, Art, & Practice of Deception

    I apologize for my sarcasm. 1 John 5:18 18 We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him; Here is another Hebrew idiom: Mark 16:18a 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink...

    The Theory, Art, & Practice of Deception

    I may have told you about my long time friend in California that is no longer a friend. Because of the guy that stole my car and was a con artist, I looked up psychopaths and sociopaths and they fit him to a T, but also her. That sure explained a lot that she put people through over the years.

    The Theory, Art, & Practice of Deception

    Paul's thorn in his side were false teachers and Judaizers. "Thorn in the side" is a Hebrew idiom like our "pain in the neck." Paul did not have problems with evil spirits! What are you even thinking? That's ridiculous! 1 John 5:18! False teachers are messengers of satan teaching doctrines of...

    I've known a few, unfortunately.

    Psychopaths and Sociopaths are masters of it.

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    My Christian husband left me for the wife of his best friend, causing two divorces, and they then got married. That was 2001. He is still the last man I kissed, and I still wear my wedding rings, but now they represent Isaiah 54:5.

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    probably shortly thereafter, because its been a couple years it seems. I was also surprised he saw me that way. I NEVER saw him that way, and frankly wondered what my sister-in-law saw in him. But she stuck it out. I felt sorry for him. He also knew that I didn't date. (I don't believe in...

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    No! Not at all. As far as I'm concerned he is my sister-in-law's husband, even though she died a few years ago. He tried to touch me and I ran out and never saw him again. I was shocked.

    Can you be pro-choice and still be a Christian?

    We all need to know who we are going to belong to and follow, either God or the devil, so my answer would be... NO!!!

    ‘The Eighth Day’

    Early Christians believed the "eighth day" was never-ending and represented eternal life.

    Defending Homosexuality

    Don't you know that when we repent as in Acts 2:38 we are repenting of the whole sin nature. That is what being born again of the Spirit is all about. That old nature is dead. It is that nature that spews out sins left and right, and no one can escape sinning UNTIL Jesus takes it away and makes...

    Why the Need to be Rapture Ready in these Last Days!!

    Good post. Whether we are pre-trib. or post-trib., only those who are actually righteous or holy will go to be with the Lord, Revelation 22:11.

    Making your calling an election sure

    Good post. There is another scripture I like about assurance. And it even has a little test you can look at. - Are all your prayers positively answered. (That means the answer is not "No." LOL) 1 John 3:21-23. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And...

    What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?

    That is a fact. Look it up. When the female is born she has a male part that eventually falls off after about a year. One of the segments on this video is about the hyena. Very interesting. I don't know what you would call commands and a prophecy, but odd you should call them just a sermon.
