  1. Episkopos

    Faith or sin

    This is assuming that we will be judged by our beliefs rather than our works. Where in the whole bible does it say we will be judged by what we believed? And yet how many times do we read that we will all be judged by our works and we will reap as we have sown?

    the law of the Spirit of life

    This is the law that allows us to walk in the higher plane of the Spirit (the realm of the kingdom of God) so that we remain untouched by sin and this world. It is the walk that Jesus perfected in His humanity. It is like the law of flight that overcomes the law of gravity. So we are to walk in...

    Faith or sin

    If He didn't spare the natural branches neither will He spare us. Rom. 11 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. Salvation is a race of faith..run to win.

    Faith or sin

    The people tested Him 10 times in the desert. They grieved His Holy Spirit. And after so many signs and wonders. It reminds me of butt prints in the sand... Butt Prints In The Sand One night I had a wondrous dream, One set of footprints there was seen, The footprints of my precious Lord...

    Faith or sin

    Hi Helen! The issue was whether Israel was saved. Israel definitely had beliefs and they even saw the work of God first hand. Imagine walking through a miraculous path through the sea with a wall of water on both sides. I don't think anyone believed it was a natural occurrence. The problem...

    A boyhood experience

    nay, rather foundational to a happy feeling in any song! My opinion of course. I think a good bass groove can be a cure for Aids....or an infection. Since the bass sound is infectious of itself. :)

    A boyhood experience

    A fellow bassist! Yes! :) (what I mean is...a fellow brother in Christ! Yes!) same as me...at 19 I started gigging...doing MoR and r&B. Then went to jazz because I didn't feel right with the ungodly lyrics in some of the songs I had to do. (after my conversion to Christ at 21) i have so many...

    Faith or sin

    1. Can we be righteous on a human level? Of course. We are to love others as ourselves. We (or anyone) will actually be justified by helping God's people in physical ways...a cup of cold water....clothing over nakedness...etc... To the least of the brethren of Jesus....whether you know them or...

    Faith or sin

    Where they told Jesus and the apostles to go away. Like the Israelites didn't want God speaking to them anymore...talk to Moses not us. That is in the gospel of Matthew...after Jesus cast the demons into the pigs. Matthew 8:34 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when...

    Faith or sin

    That's our part in the faith transaction...the implications. Peter looked down and saw the water beneath his feet and took his eyes off Jesus long enough to think...I can't be doing this!...then he sank according to his own level of trust. We need to keep our eyes on a Jesus (the real Jesus) we...

    Faith or sin

    Word! :)...that radical, revolutionary trust in God...that changes the world.
  12. Episkopos

    Faith or sin

    You have the right idea...kind of! ;) Imputed? saved? These are buzzwords that only mean something to people who have spent a lot of time in pews listening to man inspired doctrines. We are learning to have the same trust in God that Jesus has. I think you fully understand the OT standard of...

    Faith or sin

    How about...our trust in God is being propelled to become the same as Jesus' own trust in God. :)
  14. Episkopos

    Faith or sin

    LOL....the just shall live by his faith. In the OT...his own faith and faithfulness (although this is also what I call entry level Jesus following ;) ) And without changing the words for the NT it can also mean...The just shall live by His faith: The faith OF Jesus. Yes...trust. But How...

    Led by the Spirit

    To be led by the Spirit means that we will be also operating in the gifts of the Spirit...as we are led to.....by the Spirit. Does that mean we are walking in the Spirit? No. it means that the Spirit is guiding us. The Spirit is trying to teach us, to convince us of the goodness of His ways in...

    Led by the Spirit

    Being led by the Spirit, in humility and with a lack of judgment for others, is the best possible walk we can have while still walking in our own strength. So we are led to die daily. Our commitment to Christ is being constantly renewed in the face of every new situation. And this is very good...

    Faith or sin

    People hate when I mention indoctrination. They take it as an accusation....but is merely an observation. It's like saying that someone who has a dripping nose and a cough has a cold. So then it is a condition. Is it a sin to be indoctrinated? I would say it is a bondage of sorts. It restrains...

    The Two Houses of Israel

    Why Assyria? As opposed to Egypt...or any other country for that matter?
  19. Episkopos

    The Two Houses of Israel

    And the northern tribes of Israel are sifted through all nations, tribes, and tongues. :) So to be intermixed with all Gentiles. When the believing remnant of the Gentiles come into the fold of faith ...that is what constitutes ALL Israel. Both Judah and now Israel (of the Spirit) are made...

    Faith or sin

    You are doing what you say I am doing. I am being obedient to the Lord. I don't rely on a man-made indoctrination as you do. I am correcting your faulty understanding in your attempt to teach...which is what you are trying to do yourself but without an actual understanding. So I am doing for...
