    Jesus - The Afikoman

    At Easter we celebrate a Rabbi who celebrated Passover. Chag sameach!

    Why the cross actually saves

    The cross actually saves us by us being crucified to it. When we die with Christ we also live with Christ...in His life. That is the salvation of God. The power of the cross causes us to be dead in Christ so that we can enter into Christ and walk as He walked....so that we might know the power...

    The doctrine of least resistance

    It is about our attitude. Why are we trying to get away with anything? Self-preservation is NOT the right path...it leads to death. Loving the truth means we let go of our best interests...of wanting to be right or win. Instead we should only want what the Lord wants. It is very possible to...

    The doctrine of least resistance

    Many believe that the words "It is finished".... means that Jesus came to "fix" or rig the race so that certain people (church-goers) would be saved regardless of what they say or do based on partisanship to the "cause"...as if He was a respecter of persons. The doctrine of least resistance...

    The doctrine of least resistance

    That is the purpose...it's just that it's rare when people rejoice in the truth nowadays. :)

    The doctrine of least resistance

    You are speaking from a theoretical and non-biblical perspective. There are too many errors to address in your response. The errors are in the false conclusions you are making.

    The doctrine of least resistance

    Actually that is only a half-truth. The real Christian goes the extra mile to enter INTO Christ. The true sabbath is to rest from the dead works of our own thoughts and ideas ...and opinions. We are to draw life from above....not from our own humanity. THAT is a true follower of Christ who can...

    The doctrine of least resistance

    My way of seeing is that we all take the easy road in some way or other. It's like the parable of the sower. Most people will say they are the good ground. But people don't know themselves. I say we are a bit of every one of those options. Maybe we have a higher percentage in one or another. But...

    The doctrine of least resistance

    A true Christian isn't someone with their heads packed full of knowledge and facts, but is rather "a person whose heart has been opened, occupied, and interactive with God and the divine mysteries."

    Jesus - The Afikoman

    Do this in remembrance of Me.

    The doctrine of least resistance

    Doctrines of least resistance take on two intensities...like the sins that lead to death or not to death. There's the exagerrated or overvalued belief....in an opinion or religious dogma. And then there is the delusion. "An overvalued idea is a false or exaggerated and sustained belief that is...

    Church Discipline, Anathema/Excommunication: Can a Church be Christian without formal discipline?

    There is no organization that is Christian. The Protestant sect has just as many aberrations...they are just less visible. So you are going down a rabbit trail here. Next you'll be telling us to vote republican and that Trump is the messiah and such...

    The Book of James, an opinion

    Concerning real faith, Jesus said that mountains would be moved....amazing things that are real and happen in reality and truth. Paul confirms this reality check... 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the...

    The Book of James, an opinion

    Much better. But the delusion that believing that you can justify yourself by your own belief....well is so delusional...yet seen as normal by so many, such is the scale of the lie.

    DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PETER AND PAUL

    Peter may have been taller than Paul. Paul means "small". Then again the opposite might have been true. Sometimes people are given names that are opposite to their physiognomy...just like little John was anything but little. Or...like someone calling a bald person "curly." An interesting thread...

    Should I be rebaptised?

    You are on ignore...way too much drama with no content.

    The Book of James, an opinion

    So then you say that God justifies you....how? How does God justify you? Your illogic is so great that people will agree with you...because their illogic is almost as great. How does God justify you? Where is it written that Richard H. is justified by God. if you say because of your beliefs...

    Should I be rebaptised?

    Oh my...the opposite is true. In Hebrew episkopay is pekoudah. This is not an office...but a calling and a function. For example...Jeremiah was a prophet. Now was that a title or a position he was elected to that came with an office. Or was it a vocation and a functioning from God? I leave...

    42. Are We Free to Ignore God's Law if We are "Under Grace"?

    I think the bible gives men enough rope to hang themselves with. If we want to mis-understand...the bible obliges us...

    Should I be rebaptised?

    Episkopay means inspection, visitation and oversight. It is NOT an office. That is a fiction...a false interpretation using eisegesis...trying to fit the bible into an aberrant church practice. If any man desire episkopay (inspection, visitation, and oversight) he desires a good thing. But...
