This is good but you are seeing salvation from sin as a future event. You know what Jesus did in the past and you have a hope for the future. What lacks is faith at the present time. Consider this.

It is good news depending on what part of us is listening to it. The carnal old nature must die....THEN the new man is edified into a full stature in Christ. So you must go though the fire first. THEN comes life. To those who just want an easy feel good message that maintains their powerlessness...

There is one God who is a plurality.

Very nice!!!

Amen! (with tears of joy)

I know! ;) Ironically, Phinehas was awarded an eternal righteousness for putting to death those who were taking the grace thing too far in continuing in iniquity!!! Oh, the irony!!!

I have found that a significant percentage of church people are in a hypnotic state of mind conditioning due to a manipulative use of scriptures. When someone truly understands the meaning of the scriptures they can put it properly in other words. When they are brainwashed...they cannot. They...

You are wrong of course! :) I am an overseer in a Christian community and have been appointed by God as such.I have been a full time worker for the past 10 years or so. But this is not why I have the username Episkopos. I can't explain what God has shown me about the way He guides us and...

Amen!!! Good post! :)

It is both really. Of course an immature Christian will not be able to handle abiding in holiness for very long. He will be pinching himself saying...this can't be happening. But over time and many tears we learn to stop looking at ourselves and the world around us and learn to look only to the...

Greetings Dragonfly!! A Christian has entered a race according to the purpose of God. We must not forget that there still remains a God who has authored our salvation. We can't just claim the prize for ourselves while ignoring the conditions that God has laid out for those who would live with...

You can't decide you are no longer subject to the law. This isn't a multiple choice salvation questionnaire. Of course the carnal man wants to be free of any laws...because he is lawless. Here is a thought by renowned preacher A.W. Tozer.... the first obligation of the Christian Church is not...

God looks at the heart. He decides where a person is at because He can truly see our condition. Those who think that God is blinded by a so called imputed righteousness of Christ really have no knowledge of God at all. He can help us BECAUSE He sees us so well. When God starts to fashion us...

Amen! Your heart is true! :) Haz you might be really good at computer games as the youth all seem to be. But you have no understanding whatsover of spiritual things. Instead of coming here to learn something you assume you are the champion like in a video game where you are trying to outscore...

LOL. I'm sorry if I cannot support the Cosmic Candy Man theory that is preached today. The truth is far more glorious...although far more difficult. Did Jesus say...Come on folks...the narrow way is easy and anyone can do it???? The problem lies with the shallowness and temporal thinking of...

Not by effort at all...it is by location...and relationship to God. It is those who deny the power of grace that overcomes sin that are trying to be good on their own. You must be imagining snakes. I am using actual biblical language to describe what you are doing. You are building with...

Repentance from dead works and a full surrender of our lives together with a faith towards God that He will intervene. When we do this with ALL our heart....He acts from heaven and the power comes down. Lightning needs something to ground it...once that ground is found the power is unleashed...

You are missing it here...God is ONE not a plurality. In that oneness is the Godhead that we call the Trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Peter was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He was bound to offend one group or the other. The real problem was not so much with Peter but the immaturity of either group. Why didn't the Jews eat with Gentiles? Should Peter have ignored the Jews? Paul was thinking of the Gentiles to whom he...
