    The Influence of Islam on Christendom

    So how did we go from a Judaic worldview to an Islamic one? We know why. It was deemed as a necessary evil for the sake of survival (but survival of what?). How we did it is how we subvert any truth we encounter in the bible. We do it by twisting the meaning of the bible to support our...

    The Influence of Islam on Christendom

    What I mean to show is that the very doctrines taught by the modern church deny the freedom that Jesus came to bring...and that the rulers in the church have opted for a more Islamic worldview..a totalitarian worldview...that says become like us or die.

    The Influence of Islam on Christendom

    If we are truly free and know how to think...we see we have a choice between 2 worldviews...the Judaic (salvation is of the Jews)...or else the Islamic view (become like us or die). Since the beginning of the worldly challenge to the truth which is in Christ...we have opted for less and less...

    The Influence of Islam on Christendom

    I'm drawing a distinction here between Judaic thought and Islamic thought . At one point Islam was the great rival to Christianity (which it still is). And the churches sought to fight fire with fire. They decided to fight one kind of totalitarian doctrine with another one. It has often...

    The Influence of Islam on Christendom

    Now both political extremes are totalitarian in nature...they being fascism and communism. We know that communism had as it's ultimate goal...to make the whole world communist. (very similar to Islam that way) We see the Chinese government, a totalitarian communist regime at that...that has...

    Forsaken

    You can actually get a modern Hebrew dictionary where it will tell you that "sabach" (as in sabachthani) means entangled. Even to this day the words mean the same thing. What you are missing in all this is the lack of a rigidity with God. Dogmatic religion is rigid. And Jesus could have just...

    The Influence of Islam on Christendom

    Now I think we all realize that Islam is a totalitarian system. I don't say just religion since Islam covers a lot more than just religious ideas. Islam also ventures into the political sphere...seeking to control every aspect of a person's life. On a religious level...the world is seen by...

    Forsaken

    Actually Jesus doesn't say "forsaken"...but 'entangled"...as in... My God My God why have you entangled Me? The word "sabach" in Hebrew means entangled (past tense). This is a reference to Gen.22 and the ram caught in the thicket or "sevach" (hence the crown of thorns) . In Psalm 22 the word is...

    Why Do You Make God Subjective?

    Too many people have replaced the living God with the bible. So the bible is informative and points to God...but the bible itself (without the action of the Spirit) can actually take you down the wrong road. The road of self-justification....as we see so many believers take in these times. It is...

    Why Do You Make God Subjective?

    Because of the basic limitation of the human mind. Even the smallest things that God does are beyond our imagination. The human minds tries associating things by comparison. But God is incomparable. So you need to be visited by God and enlightened by Him to perceive Him as He is. Otherwise it...

    Why Do You Make God Subjective?

    It isn't for us to delineate what is God's church and what is the church established by men and led by men (or worse)....but we can have a good idea of this if we know what to look for. God does things very differently from men. That's why there are so many denominations. But trying to tie God...

    Forsake ALL your sins or eternal damnation awaits!

    People in every religion strive in their own power to be good and holy. But that is not the way of Christ. Jesus already perfected the walk in the flesh in holiness. So when we enter INTO Christ we put on His resurrection life by grace. In Him there is no sin. So the only striving we do is to...

    Are you connected to the gates of hell?

    Sounds like a "she is a witch" statement typical of they who follow a book instead of the Spirit.

    Are you connected to the gates of hell?

    I post bible verses and posts about being spiritual in Christ all the time on facebook. Never had a problem. Don't allow the enemy to intimidate you. Be bold and speak the truth...but in love. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the brotherhood of Christ. We should be encouraging one...

    “is not that what it means”

    Amen. Righteous is as righteous does. Doing what is right is always acceptable to God. This transcends religious beliefs or traditions. Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.

    Forsake ALL your sins or eternal damnation awaits!

    We are organic beings...and we are capable of change....and learning. As such God is not quick to condemn. Grace means that God empowers us with His life and Spirit BEFORE we get our act together. So we can be in some kind of sin at the beginning of our walks....without condemnation at first...

    REVIVED

    We experienced revival as a fellowship back in '99. People visited us from all over...very little loose time. But God provided all. I came to the Lord in a mini revival as well. Back in 1980. I was on the same block as a house church that was experiencing revival. I never met them till a few...
