    Is partial obedience better than nothing?

    Mat_5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Psa_18:25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; So I repeat...with the merciful God is merciful... In both cases they went 2 steps away from obedience. The...

    Is partial obedience better than nothing?

    Here is a quote from Jesus on the matter... Mat 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Mat 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at...

    Is partial obedience better than nothing?

    Anything is better than nothing. Even a cup of cold water given shall be rewarded.

    The New Jerusalem - Who's in it - Who's outside ?

    Only the saints abide in the city. The overcomers through Christ are the bride of Christ. Outside are the righteous among the nations and the filthy who wander in the wilderness. The latter are they who kept soiling their garments. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that...

    Can You Be Righteous

    Saved means not dead. There are vessels of both honour and dishonour in the next age. If you read the text without prejudice you will see what the meaning is! Luk_19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be...

    The Narrow Way

    Yes! But this is a corporate endeavour. We are to lay down our lives for the brethren as our Master did. Christianity is not a religion of personal attainment. The world as well as the principalities can see this through the shared life of Jesus in our midst. We are not to come out of the ways...

    The Narrow Way

    Agreed! But the Lord does not say..."one of the options for being My disciple is to forsake all"

    Can You Be Righteous

    ] It is not..."it will not produce a reward" It is...they will be cut off (suffer grievous loss)

    Can You Be Righteous

    A believer can be cut off and cast into outer darkness. This is the fate of those who are saved as by fire. So it is not true that only differing rewards await the believer...there is also net loss. 1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1Co...

    Right on!!! :)

    The works of faith

    In the end God wants us to trust Him completely...like Abraham did with his only son. Of course we have a jolt of faith when we walk in the Spirit. But not everyone will ALWAYS be walking in the Spirit. So what do we do when someone (or ourselves) is not in a state of supernatural empowering? We...

    The works of faith

    Hi brother! If we exhibit the same faith as those who have had the experiences will we not also inherit the promises with them? Receive a prophet in the name of a prophet and receive a prophet's reward! :)

    Parable of The Tares of The Field

    This parable is a reference to the 2nd (general) resurrection. We see the same resurrection being described with the sheep/goats judgment in Matt. 25.

    The Narrow Way

    Very good! Because of lawlessness the love of many will wax cold.

    The replacement for Judas

    You are missing the point about authority. Spiritual authority is not like a game of tag.

    Romans 4:16 - not only - but also...

    Good works are like miracles...they FOLLOW the relationship we have with God. God is our portion. He can choose to continue to use us or discard us as He wishes. We are satisfied with Him when we no longer gauge our own usefulness to God. You seem to always be looking at yourself through this...
