But why a separate book for a people who would seem to fit into either the category of the saints...or at least the category of the righteous? When God has established boundaries and categories that have a definite criteria, it is normal that human beings, being unpredictable, to fall between...

We know that there will be at least three books opened up on judgment day...and I see that number as being 3. (after careful consideration of course) Notice this... Rev. 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there...

Here is a subject that few speak of...and yet it is rather an important consideration when it comes to we who actively seek to advance with God. Mal. 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written...

I am very careful with Christianese....or Christian sounding buzzwords. Once we get in the habit of replacing an accurate biblical statement with the religious jargon of our times...well it's a slippery slope as they say. :) To me, "saved" is not a status. One can be a believer, even a...

John's baptism established an authority outside the religious structures that men had erected. God always does this. He does not come under an established authority of men. So then John prepared a people to receive a man under God's authority...apart from what men recognize as religiously...

LOL You are just using one verse...which you are not understanding...to refute others which don't line up with...you guessed it...a faulty understanding. We see this kind of error all the time. By taking everything literally concerning Israel...you are actually selling out your own birthright...

The land covenants were fulfilled already. Don't live in the past. Joshua 21:43 So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. 1 Kings 4:21 And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the...

In my view, the spiritual walk is about location, location, location. Heb. 12:22 But you are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, Statements such as these show a depth of walk that few indeed will be able...

I think this is kind of right...but for some issues.....that 1st century Lady is seeing as well. It depends on what you mean by "saved" and "in the kingdom". If you believe a person can be saved in a state of eternal loss...as in naked and shamed...then OK that's still salvation. But I find...

...and if God was a respecter of persons then the DNA salvation scheme could have some validity. But it is written...Gal. 3:22 “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.” All Gentiles? Or all people? The word...

All Israel is a reference to the Gentiles coming into the commonwealth of Israel as Ephraim.

We could see the talent as the ability to understand the word. Since it is only as one truly understands the word can it bear fruit. But this understanding is itself according to grace. In Hebrew glory is "weight". So the heavier something is....the more glory it contains. (don't let...

Absolutely! In this world not everyone has the same faculties. But as we do all things as unto the Lord...we move closer to the kingdom together. I have not experienced yet the corporate walk in the Spirit. The kingdom of God is usually a lonely place....albeit glorious. The kingdom walk is in...

This is a time of religiosity and superficiality. The duty of Christians is to occupy spiritual places. But most Christians I speak to resist the idea of any kind of supernatural walk in the Spirit. So then that leaves the spiritual realm open to the enemy...and this goes unchallenged. When we...

Quebec city, Que.

it is the loss of all things...unto shame and nakedness. Sometimes in a sports exhibition...a person will streak naked before the crowd....especially if it is televised. Invariably that person is cast out of the stadium...at the very least. But so will many "believers" be rejected who have...

I suppose not! :) When we try straining the word of God through the understanding of men...we get a cardboard cut-out of something that is supposed to be life giving.

Back in the day, they didn't have aircraft...so they couldn't use that analogy. :) Amen! Grace is God's power freely given to us...that accomplishes the righteous requirements of the law. So then grace fulfills the law. Grace comes to us as a power of love....to fulfill the commandments to...

That's a human way of putting it. We come in and out of a FULL salvation. God doesn't just condemn everyone that doesn't abide in Christ. We are learning to be as Jesus. So then it looks somewhat like this A full salvation...to a pathetic condition...then A full salvation...to a slightly...

So you deny the existence of kingdom life now...? in favour of a future kingdom? How are we to seek first the kingdom? And His righteousness? These are together of course. I already know your position so you will claim to have His righteousness (a very unwise thing to assume) yet deny the...
