the saints abide in Christ NOW! There are many abodes in Zion...but unfortunately these go unnoticed by a generation of believers who prefer to abide to remain as they are.

So this Irishman walks into a bar and orders three beers and proceeds to a table in a dark corner. The bartender arrives with the beers and says it's no trouble to just keep refilling the one beer...no need for three at a time. The Irishman says" no, you don't understand...you see I have 2...

I think this passage is largely used out of context. What the passage speaks of is akin to saying that someone who becomes president of a country first goes to grade school, then to high school then to college. But this does not mean that every one who goes to grade school will become president...

But just what is God enabling? Is He willing to spoil certain people while condemning others wholesale? Is God like a Celestial Candyman? A biblical God has no respect for persons...which means we will each be judged by our thoughts and actions.

Amen! Jesus said that the devil had nothing in Him. When we abide in Christ then there is no way in for the devil. In Him is no sin and neither in us as we abide in Him.

Happy birthday wishes for you sister! May God extend a special blessing to you today!!! :)

Greetings to all. I think that most Christians do not fear hell as a possible outcome for their choices in life.....after all...didn't they already make the right choice by deciding to believe in Jesus Christ? Now, I grant that there is merit to this lack of fear since the bible says that those...

God allows denominations in the same way that He deemed that men should not come together for their own advancement as at the tower of Babel. The true unity is only permitted through the Holy Spirit.

I think that most Christians don't see any difference between Judaism and being Jewish and Zionism and being a nationalist Israeli. In Jesus' day there were the zealots (nationalists). Did Christians ally themselves with the zealots?

We must consider the historical baggage that has moved us away from a child-like view of what the church is supposed to be. We tend to react to the other expressions of church that fall short of the biblical standard...by becoming cynical rather than seeing which part of the truth these...

Walking by the works of the law is the antithesis of walking in a new life by faith. One is of the flesh and the other is of the Spirit.

It is precisely this true connection to the Head which causes us to lay down our lives for the brethren (as Jesus did and does) and discern the Body of which we are members of each other. The account in Acts of a large group of people becoming connected to Christ and what that did to...

There is no successor to Jesus Christ. He rules His people from heaven through the Holy Spirit. Making popes is a human fabrication that seeks a temporal unity around a man-made understanding....that does NOT reflect the spiritual reality. Only Jesus Christ can hold sway over the church as a...

It may appear that way to one who doesn't think anyone can surpass his own lack.

I am seeking to make a point about the purpose of the gospel WITHOUT making an "either or" issue out of the private and corporate witness. We are living in a time and in a society that is individuality crazed. The fact that this seems okay reflects on the depth of the understanding of the...

What do you mean by a salvation issue? Are you thinking a life and death issue as in survival? The church is not there to save us...Jesus is. But if we wish to progress beyond mumbling and drooling we need the church...in order to move onto maturity. So we are talking about the depth of...

This is very true. The road to the seeking of making the church reflect the biblical witness is littered with casualties. But the other side of the equation is "because of lawlessness the love of many will wax cold". So the solution is not to give up on the corporate witness. Even Abraham...

It still doesn't clarity if it is God's objective truth...or what men want. For instance..are we being built into many different habitations of God..or one holy habitation? Does God have many houses or many rooms within the same house? Are we members one of another or do all just deal directly...

What is essential seems to differ from person to person.

And yet Paul was striving for the full stature of Christ. The narrow way is a race to attainment. To relegate the forming of the Body to a later date is a grave error...we see this error so much in the present churches. This relegating denies the present available grace that Jesus died to...
