    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    What is interesting here is the "cube" dimensions. Just like the holy of holies is 15 cubits square....the New Jerusalem is 15 hundred miles square. That's "cube" bits... :)

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    I think that many begin by trying to make a difference....but the way a child would interfere with open heart surgery. As they say...the road to hell is paved with good intentions. What is unknown of many of today's ministers is often greater than what they think they are teaching.

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    That's the flesh...but there is truth. It's just the reasoning of a person who is being corrected to accuse the other. So then is everybody experiencing victory in Christ?....a walk in supernatural peace and love? A walk in the intimacy of union with God? If not, then there is a counterfeit...

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    I see the counterfeit solution as worse than the problem it is claiming to fix. Jesus was far more angry with the religious establishment than the blatant sinners of His day. The same thing is happening today. The religious establishment has taken on an easy version of Christianity with a...

    The "In Christ" Doctrine

    Salvation is a daily enterprise. We need to be saved every day from the influence of the world, from evil, from temptations. We look to Christ to deliver us moment by moment. What you are talking about is this modern church idea of a saved status. That's not salvation...that's an immunity from...

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    What I normally see is partisan argumentation for one thing or the other when really they are taking something that is true to an extent but taking it too far so that it cancels out something else that's also true. Like grace but at the expense of the teachings of Jesus Christ. So then trying to...

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    The whole modern concept of the church has proven to be a failure. It is no way resembles the biblical model of the church. Things are just going to get worse.

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    I would not bring a new convert into a modern church setting...because of fear that they would become worse than they were before. No, it's the church that needs to hear the gospel and the power over sin. Such is the state of affairs.

    Does God have Free Will?

    That's a false presumption to how things work as well as my intentions.

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    People are looking to other people...for acceptance, salaries, direction....etc. But few indeed are seeking the Lord. Why? Because to seek the Lord one must forsake seeking things from other people.

    Does God have Free Will?

    I assume you aren't aware of what you're talking about a lot of the time....truth be told. Perfection is not a jail. Love is not a jail. Only a sinful person would think that....a person who loves sin and imperfection. Your thread then is more about nature than freedom.

    ROMANS 11 WHO IS THE WILD OLIVE TREE?

    God is done with a certain nation being His exclusive people. All nations are called to Him through Christ. But God is not done with the individuals who make up that rejected nation. These are free to believe or reject their king as individuals.

    Does God have Free Will?

    You are confusing freedom with randomness. God is free to not do anything but what wisdom dictates. God loves wisdom. So He is free to always do what wisdom dictates. The lack of freedom is when you want to do something, but you are unable. A person who is in jail may want to go for a walk...

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel? Confusion reigns.

    What did Christ say about the law?

    Grace fulfills the righteous requirements of the law of God. Otherwise it is not of God and it isn't grace.

    The "In Christ" Doctrine

    The"in Christ" doctrine as described in the OP is the sign of the times. It is falsehood on such a scale that it can be believed by the carnal man. The natural man always looks for a way out....a way to survive. But to be in Christ in truth means the letting go of the survival instinct and it's...

    The "In Christ" Doctrine

    Faulty assessments bring faulty conclusions. And no one is "saved" finally until the end of the race. To whom much is given more is required. Your indulging in your ego just muddies the water for you to understand the truth. Look to yourself for error.

    The "In Christ" Doctrine

    There are many winds of doctrine....that seek to make very humanly possible the things that only God can do. To be In Christ means we are with Him where He is...in Zion which is above. Being in Christ empowers us to walk the same way He did. That is the true biblical doctrine...but it requires...

    Dead Faith???

    This is gnosticism...where are person can be both a saint and a sinner at the same time. It is the person who says...I sin, but it doesn't count. What a foolish and powerless deception to foist on yourself and others when the gospel is available to believe in....the real gospel with it's power...
