    Joe Biden, Anarchy, Lawlessness, Racist, lover of Communism, and hating Christianity

    Is this a page taken out of the Mafia playbook? Or am I not understanding this? o_O

    I ran across this meme and couldn't resist. :D

    Joe Biden, Anarchy, Lawlessness, Racist, lover of Communism, and hating Christianity

    One article read - Far-left Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland slaughtered a pig and set its head alight, as well as burning US flags and stacks of Bibles as violent riots in the city pass the two month mark. Portland Antifa Rioters Are Now Burning Bibles, US Flags and Animals...

    Christians and the Law of Moses

    1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. :)

    Grace vs Legalism

    Amen! After Simon's spurious conversion, we see that Simon offers the apostles money to have their ability to impart the Holy Spirit (verses 18–19), he is rebuked by Peter. Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no...

    Grace vs Legalism

    John 3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26; Acts 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:7-9; 16:31; 26:18 etc..) disagrees with your opinion and biased interpretation. This is what happens when you isolate one half of one verse, build doctrine on it, then ignore the rest (flawed hermeneutics) which is not...

    Grace vs Legalism

    The rest of the story does not change verse 31. Water baptism “followed“ believing in the Lord Jesus Christ unto salvation, just as it did in (Acts 10:43-47; 11:17,18). They believed before, during and after being water baptized and water baptism was not the origin of their belief.

    Grace vs Legalism

    In Acts 16:31, we read - "..Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" ... and not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and get baptized and you will be saved. Water baptism "followed" believing in the Lord Jesus Christ unto salvation, just as it did in (Acts...

    Grace vs Legalism

    Belief is not just another work in a series of works in a quest to receive salvation by works. John 6:29 is simply a play on words by Jesus when he said, "This is the work (singular) of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent," when He answered the Jews (who were taking a legalistic...

    Where Did the Bones of Dinosaurs Come From?

    In Genesis 11:1-9, we read - And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And...

    Where Did the Bones of Dinosaurs Come From?

    Some people believe that Behemoth and Leviathon mentioned in the book of Job are references to Dinosaurs. (Job 40:15-24; Job 41:1-34)

    WHAT IS THE SIN UNTO DEATH?

    I think I understand what you mean. When a soldier puts on a uniform, he is revealing himself to be a soldier and putting on what he has previously been qualified to wear. One does not put on a uniform in order to become a soldier. Simply putting on a soldier's uniform does not make one become a...

    WHAT IS THE SIN UNTO DEATH?

    Yes, I read it and even though we partake of the divine nature now, we still have our fleshly bodies and I still believe that glorification is future. We have not yet received our glorified bodies. That will take place at the resurrection.

    WHAT IS THE SIN UNTO DEATH?

    I understand that we are initially sanctified in which we are set apart/made holy in standing before God positionally in Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:11 - Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, (past tense) but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and...

    WHAT IS THE SIN UNTO DEATH?

    I agree that we are not saved by works, but I'm not sure what you mean here in regards to "become as sinless as Christ where we no longer stumble, but are righteous and holy." Are you talking about being sanctified/set apart/made holy positionally in Christ or are you talking about...

    WHAT IS THE SIN UNTO DEATH?

    God already knows whether or not we have placed our faith (belief, trust, reliance) in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and have been justified (accounted as righteous) by faith. (Romans 5:1) Man is justified (shown to be righteous) for all to see by works, but not accounted as righteous by...

    Isaiah 5:20 - Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
