But Jesus is a stumblingstone to not just the Jews...but to us as well. It is BOTH houses that have trouble with Him. We come at the problem from a different angle. But in both cases it is due to a lack of knowledge....about who Jesus is. Just as the Jews had trouble receiving Jesus...so do...

Rom. 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore...

This is a crucial topic...as it regards us more than we think. Here it is helpful to get doctrinal things right in order to see this clearly. Is. 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare...

Praying that your condition be stabilized into a healthy living condition. The Lord heal you and bless you.

The bible I read puts Jesus as the "Good" guy. You may need to consider which bible you are reading. Or is it...how you are reading the bible you have?

The challenge is always to be towards others what God is to us. Was God merciful to us? Are we as merciful towards others? So then for us the challenge of God being a justifier of the ungodly is set forth. Does it say...the ungodly Christians? Does it say only the ungodly that become...

It says "wandering stars". Dead people don't wander.

"Stranger, post: 434762, member: 7282"]I have thought on it. Nothing you or I do contribute to God's glory whatsoever. We benefit without a doubt in our fruit and works. We add nothing to God in our fruit and our works. Just like our sin takes nothing away from God, neither does our works...

"Stranger, post: 434748, member: 7282"]We are talking about eternal security. Not rewards or proofs of our faith. All rewards and fruits and interests are for our benefit. Not God's. Do you think we contribute to God's wealth by our works? Do you think God is worried about making a...

Look at what you have rather than what you presently seem to be missing. We all go though ups and downs. The more we focus on the downs the longer it takes to get our eyes back fully on to the Lord. Keep rejoicing because of who He is.

I know you'll bounce back! Just take a step back! :)

Have you heard of the parable of the talents? It's in Mat. 25. What of the servant that buried (added nothing to the grace he was given) his talent? What of the reward of they who made a profit for their Master? And what of this statement? Mat. 25:27 Then you should have deposited my money...

I thought to start this thread since I find no one considers this eternal destiny in their calculations as to possible outcomes for humanity. Jude 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. Wandering in the...

What about the destiny of eternal darkness? I find it very curious that no one considers this end as a possibility. Yet this is the place for the religious hypocrites.

The sabbath was created for us....not we for the Sabbath. Mark 2:27 Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. Following Christ is our Sabbath. (Sabbath means "stop!) Most people work only 5 days a week in our time. No one is...

There are many believers here who are not Sabbath worshipers.

A new transformation

A good word!

"Phoneman777, post: 434384, member: 6649"]Prepare for head for the following cranial explosion: The Bible says plainly, clearly, without question that failing to warn your neighbor of the error of his way is a textbook act of hatred. "Hate not thy brother in thine own heart. Thou shalt in any...

The world waits for things to happen before happiness sets in...but we can rejoice pre-emptively! :) We are to rejoice ALWAYS. That is the will of God concerning us. We rejoice by faith knowing that all things...even bad things...work for good in the end. And what an end!
