    The Fear of the Lord

    Actually you are the one trying to pump up the volume so to speak by repeating a matter that wasn't even addressed to you. I'm sure that many here see what you're doing. You can't hide from the Lord. The truth will always find you out.

    The Advocacy of Jesus Christ

    Rather than Jesus hiding His people from the truth...he seeks to bring us into the light. Rather than protecting us from a holy God, Jesus seeks to reconcile us with Him. Rather than have us be exempt from judgment, Jesus wants to prepare us to meet the God who will judge us all righteously...

    The Advocacy of Jesus Christ

    I saw this video once on facebook that sought...very mistakenly...to present how Jesus presents His advocacy of His followers before God. In the video it has certain non-believers being sent to hell no matter what they did...which is false to begin with. Then it has another sinner come up to be...

    The Fear of the Lord

    You have shown yourself to be vindictive in the past....and you are derailing this thread with a personal beef that is taken out of context from another thread. But you won't post your disagreement there...because of your lack of honest character. You would appear less of a hypocrite if you...

    Communication of our faith

    Please explain this.

    The good news is not good for the flesh. :eek: The flesh is meant to be crucified...out of the way...to leave room for Christ who is wanting to save us. It is good news for they who seek to be reconciled to God and live eternally with Him. But not to justify the flesh as so many modern people...

    Please explain this.

    You are making this about people again. You have it backwards. Jesus is not just righteous...He has been perfected FOR us to walk in Him. So then by entering into Christ we take on HIS righteousness. We do not take on OUR own righteousness by entering into Christ. Our own righteousness and...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    One cannot be spiritually sinless while actually sinful. That is what Gnosticism teaches. The spiritual realm is there to displace this world...to bring a revolution of holiness and righteousness...not to have people have an imaginary connection to God through a make-believe spiritual status...

    Please explain this.

    What are you talking about. What you say isn't biblical. All people will be judged by their works. THAT is the only biblical judgment. All others are inventions of people looking to save themselves for NOT doing the will of God.

    The Fear of the Lord

    God rejects His children as well as accepts them. Look at Israel. Were they not rejected because of unbelief and disobedience? So we are not superior to them. We are in the same boat that they were...before rejection. So then we need to fear the Lord as Paul wisely counsels because we are not...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Hi Marks. 1. Salvation by works is about obeying the law of Moses...getting circumcised, eating kosher, honouring a sabbath etc... Now I've said this to you before...and I have stated this dozens of times on this forum. So please refrain from trying to understand what Paul is saying..but...

    THE KINGDOM TABLE

    Mat. 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The kingdom of God...

    (Gen. 9:24-27) Prophecy: Shem, Ham, and Japheth

    This prophecy is for the next age...that these 3 kinds of people...the saints, the righteous and the outcasts will populate the new Earth in the next age. So the prophetic things tend to repeat over and over in type. What this is not is a racist formula for this age. No...they are the saints...

    Please explain this.

    There is no grace gospel. That is an invented gospel that Paul condemns as "another gospel." It is the gospel of the kingdom ACCORDING to the power of God (grace) that is the true gospel.

    Please explain this.

    HIS believing God was because God said so. God also foresaw that he would indeed obey the Lord in the sacrificing of his only son. God can do that...foresee things. But the angels could not foresee what Abraham would do for they declared... Gen. 22:12 And He (the angel) said, “Do not lay your...

    The Fear of the Lord

    A Book of Remembrance Mal. 3:16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name. 17 “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Eccl. 7: 16 Do not be overly righteous, Nor be overly wise: Why should you destroy yourself? 17 Do not be overly wicked, Nor be foolish: Why should you die before your time? 18 It is good that you grasp this, And also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Psalm 115:13 13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great. Ps. 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, 19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. John 10: 28 And I give unto them eternal life...

    Led by the Spirit

    Jer. 31:33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. This is what the bible says about the New Covenant. It...
