    Acts 2:44

    In Winnipeg and Quebec. The tribe settlement in BC came from Winnipeg just as that one came out of Nova Scotia...and before that Island Pond.

    righteousness

    But you have not answered if you believe there is sin in Christ or not...and how important that is. Can we enter into Christ with sins? Do you understand that the blood of Christ cleanses us from ALL sin? Or do you think Jesus harbours sin in Him? So then the key to being holy and perfect as...

    righteousness

    I don't know of any sin in Christ? Do you? In Him is no sin. That is our victory...enter into He who knew no sin and walk as He walked. How? By abiding in Him. Too simple?

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    But these were carnal men. That's what James was saying. Did you miss that? Because they are babes. Most believers never get out of diapers...so to speak. A person can only be half-Christian when he is not IN Christ. There is still mixture...therefore no holiness.

    righteousness

    There is no sin of omission if you are abiding in Christ. In Christ we are as He is in the world. We add sin into the mix when we mix ourselves with Christ. There can be no SELF in Christ. There is no mixture possible in holiness. Any mixture is outside of holiness. Any mixture with holiness is...

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    Show me someone who is half-crucified...half-pregnant...half in a house or half out of a house. Half-dead....or half-alive. Can a person be half-holy and half-sinful? Can of the same tree there be good fruit and bad fruit?

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    How about...99% of Christians today walk in the power of the flesh...but many of these boast that they can see...like the Pharisees did in their day. Jesus said they were in sin...a dire sin...because of this. We have learned nothing from owning and reading bibles it would seem. Religious sins...

    Who then can be SAVED???

    With men it is impossible...but with God all things are possible.

    righteousness

    What I'm saying is that there is a big difference between being a servant of righteousness and a slave to a religious ideology that flouts righteousness as something foreign to it.

    Acts 2:44

    I know the tribes up here in Canada. And they know me. My wife and I considered joining up with them many years ago. But we saw through their facade soon after meeting with them. There is no Holy Spirit in what they do...it's like they are trying to be in a movie about Jesus and making that a...

    Acts 2:44

    Yes! I also lived in community on more than one occasion....about 6 years all told. You are so right. Anytime man is mixed with Jesus Christ...it becomes man instead of Jesus Christ. There is TOO much mixture. And even if people are not yet spiritual you would think there could be a LITTLE...

    righteousness

    Righteousness is to do what is right...to be honest and humble before God and men. It is vain religion that destroys righteousness...promising a future eternal life if only you will stop being humble and God-fearing and take on certain religious beliefs that promise eternal security. But it is a...

    righteousness

    Do you buy that we can go in and out of a house? Or do you think it is weird to think that when we enter into a house...we must always remain in that house? So it is your understanding of the man-made construct of "saved" that stops you from understanding the way of salvation.

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    But this idea quickly becomes ...always learning (improving) but never coming into the knowledge of the truth. One cannot increasingly abide in Him anymore than one increasingly tries to enter a house. Either you enter in or not. And it is God that permits or denies that entrance. It is His...

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    When Jesus healed people were they only "positionally" healed or were they so healed that even the unbelieving world could tell they were? Did Jesus raise the dead and walk on water...in reality and truth? Or was it only "positional"? And yet many who claim to be His followers have no evidence...

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    Abiding in Christ is not so easy. It means to actually walk in another realm...ALL the time. In that realm...and in Him....is NO sin. So then they who seek to reduce that walk to include sin will be judged by a holy God. As to whether we have our own righteousness or not...we will not be judged...

    What about the Death to Self message ?

    The world just sees hypocrisy when we make vain claims about how spiritual we are (when we are just like everyone else in reality).. even as we are blinded to our own religious conditioning. In Romans 7 Paul says that he sins because sin is still in him. IOW it is still in him to sin...whether...

    Reckoning

    Actually if you are the one reckoning...as a way to go farther into God...then you are still walking according to the flesh. No one enters into life by reckoning. This isn't a bad thing. But this is an accurate appraisal of what one is doing. When someone is in the Spirit the reckoning is...

    Competing in the Games

    Today I was reading a letter from Ignatius....bishop at Antioch...who himself was a disciple of John the apostle. In his exhortation to the churches he was visiting (in chains because he was being sent to Rome to die) he says that we should "arm yourselves with gentleness." Do we see the...

    Brand New Music Album Project just finished

    Very true. They say it takes 10 years to master an instrument....but that means really trying in those 10 years. :) And who has that kind of time later on? Better to start when the mind is still flexible.
