    Religious Facade Christianity

    It has been said...that the New Testament is in the Old testament concealed, and the Old testament is in the New Testament revealed. It takes wisdom to see how that works. We can't expect everyone to just get it. There will be naysayers. But those who understand spiritual things the OT is as...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    To me this sounds like the Song of Songs. :) Very intimate...and a very female inspiration. For me it is more like His glory that invades my soul. <><

    Responding to the verse you wrote...do you know what it even means? And what are you...who are not a Spirit-filled believer doing on a thread that is asking the advice of such?

    You may be confusing "My sheep know My voice"...with a chapter and verse citation that anyone can read.

    ...by the "rhema" of God". A rhema is a word you actually hear...not what you read per se. The word...logos... is solid and static. It is like monument. Like the way you read the bible. But a rhema is dynamic...miraculous. It is personal and intimate. It is that dynamic word spoken to the heart...

    I know that in the US of A, battle reenactments are very popular. I myself was a re-enactor for a number of years going to all the forts of that period...(1744-1760) What the Americans call "the French and Indian war." Now some people get carried away with this form of exercise and some...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Here is another controversial subject. Being born again gives us an access to the kingdom of God...and we may even have a chance to SEE the kingdom realm. But this is a potential...that can only be actually requited by giving up all things in this world so as to purchase our way INTO the...

    Yes, a trap for the carnal man who THINKS he has understood them. The hypocrites among us.

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Now I will share this..even though I expect some opposition to it. But this is a helpful way to understand the relationship between grace and faith. We begin with just our own faith. Everyone has a human faith. If we didn't have some kind of faith, we couldn't get through our day. Now when we...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    John 1:16 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. Grace for grace...or grace anti (the Greek "anti") grace. Anti...the Greek word in between the graces....means of course "against"...but it could also men "in addition to." It could also mean grace "upon" grace. So we...

    The Rest

    Having access to something and having it are not the same...and this can be misleading to people. If someone thinks they have something already...they won't seek for it. I have access to food delivery...as most people do. But if I think I already have that food I can starve to death for lack of...

    The Gospel 2

    Yet so many claim so much these days. Paul sought to apprehend Christ...for what many claim is already a done deal. He sought to enter into Christ...the walk IN the high calling in Christ. The walk in Jesus' perfected humanity. But what Paul sought for really has no interest for people today...

    "According to a legend of the 19th century Truth and Lie met one day. Lie tells the Truth: "The weather is very nice today" Truth looks around her and rolls her eyes, the day was indeed really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together until they arrive in front of a well. Lie tells the Truth...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    What of God's precious promises? We can walk with the Lord and see what He sees through HIS eyes..in His light we indeed see light. Is that a popular thing to consider? Is this in any way encouraging to those who seek for the rest that is the menoucha of God? And what of the Shechina glory? To...

    Religious Facade Christianity

    God is righteous and fair. There is a perfect equivalency. God does not love Gentiles more than Jews so as to deceive the Jews and give us an easier time. To believe the lies and half truths of the modern gospel one has to consider oneself as more favoured than the people who were rejected in...

    Hidden with Christ in God

    The judgment of God's house happens first. There are winners and losers. There are rewards and losses. The range of these is far greater than the separation of the rich and poor in this life. There will be those who reign with Christ. And there will be beggars in the streets of the nations...

    It is the equivalent at the lower level of an external witness of Christ. In the building of God the OT is the lower floor....and the NT is the spiritual upper floor...or upper room. So although the Israelites were not born again by the Spirit yet there was an equivalence in power and...
