    The Tabernacle of the Heart

    There's more to this than what you have considered so far. The veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom...which no one would say was the flesh of Christ. We also have a veil within our own hearts. Only as we are willing to lose all things will God reveal His glory in our hearts and allow...

    The Tabernacle of the Heart

    If one looks at the above diagram, one sees that the holiest place isn't empty. There is an ark present there. But what does the ark represent? In Hebrew the word for "ark" is actually "coffin." (Aron) Why a coffin? The coffin represents the death of anything that is not holy in God's...

    The Tabernacle of the Heart

    Now I am going to post something very important to understand....so it will most likely go unnoticed. The context lies in this statement by Jesus... Luke 14:30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. People are so concerned with a salvation status that they begin with...

    Apostolicity

    What makes something "apostolic?" Catholics believe their church is such based on a bizarre reference to "succession." (As if there was a family kingship being passed down) Others believe it means the "headship of Christ"....whatever that means in practical terms. But mostly people are...

    Is your salvation a burden?

    When you learn to walk....then things may change.

    Is your salvation a burden?

    Jesus said 'follow Me". That involves a walk. Everything with God is movement.

    Is your salvation a burden?

    In the faith means in the race. Nowhere is there a check to see if you are eternally blameless. Salvation is a process and is progressive. The longer you live...the more will be expected that you progressed into a selflessness in love. Righteousness is a moving target.

    The 2 Levels of Holiness

    We have enough of what exactly? Logical fallacies? It isn't of faith to calculate where something comes from... either you recognize the truth or you don't. Move on.

    The 2 Levels of Holiness

    I'm just posting what I know....not trying to compete with your own high self-esteem of what you think is true or not. I'm not here to threaten you. You are still the prophet.

    The 2 Levels of Holiness

    I am challenging people to come out of their religious traditions. They who have ears let them hear... No mention of Jesus...as in a sunday school class....yet very much about Him. (as in...Jesus....who you'll remember from last sunday's class...) Becoming all things to all men so as to win...

    THE CHURCH

    Paul set up leaders but not by his choice....but the Holy Spirit's. Acts 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.

    God "spiritualizes" EVERYTHING.

    And this doen't mean to spiritualize as in explain away something real and effective by making it conceptual and ethereal. Everything in reality has a spiritual force behind it. And many times even those forces have other forces above them.....allowing them to be at work. We so often see things...

    Is your salvation a burden?

    The whole idea of a "saved" status is the result of a human neurosis that doesn't trust God to judge properly. We are all at God's mercy....always. Let us drop the foolishness of a guaranteed salvation...which only serves to prolong the carnal mind. A true "saved" person is not concerned with...

    Labor To Enter Into What Rest?

    In the next age.....after Armageddon and the new heavens and new earth are established.

    Labor To Enter Into What Rest?

    When Jesus returns at the first resurrection....which is the resurrection of the saints. Yes, and rules with a rod of iron. No he must wait until he is released.

    THE CHURCH

    Paul didn't set up any structures nor did he set out to plant churches. He planted Christ. God gave the increase and the rest of it. People try going around God trying to do His work for Him. The result is dead religious "structures." These are robotic empty and lifeless. God's way needs to...

    The Proof of Salvation

    Just remember that the Bereans were noble...but unbelievers. A person who always looks to chapter and verse is a babe in Christ at the most. The bible points us to Christ...who IS the word. But the bible serves as training wheels until one has that spiritual connection. After that the Spirit AND...

    Labor To Enter Into What Rest?

    I corrected the unclear answer I posted...the future.

    Labor To Enter Into What Rest?

    I actually do understand the kingdom of God. Here is a question for you....When Satan and his demons are locked up for 1,000 years....who then is the Lord of this world during that time. Think carefully. If Jesus is in our midst physically (in the future) ...and running the show...then the...

    You have a flawed explanation but your conclusion is sound nevertheless. :)
