This is backwards! It is God who rules over men...men have no say in the ways of God. Man does not control his own destiny...God does. It is a naive error to think we can claim God for ourselves. If it is written that a man finds a date with a girl by asking her out does this mean that every...

A rare bit of understanding this is!

A man cannot claim Jesus' work for Himself. Jesus is the Lamb of God not the Lamb of men! It is God who justifies...not men.

By the Spirit!! We are to judge by the Spirit.

It is very human to go from one extreme to the other. In order to refute a salvation based on human effort...other carnal reasoners will say that God doean't expect any works at all. What is lost in both of these errors is the truth. We are meant to work through the Spirit and DO the works...

This is a false gospel. We are not saved in order to be saved. A shovel is not bought in order that we can say we have a shovel. Grace is the means given to us in order to fulfill the righteous and holy standards of God and to do the works of God through the Spirit. The lazy servant is called...

If we are following Christ we will have no time to try keeping laws in our spare time. Laws are meant for the lawless. Following Christ fulfills the law.

People see God as a bringer of peace to the world...for humanity's sake. This is wrong and backwards. Let the world get worse!!!! Maybe then some can actually wish to live for Christ instead of using Him to better this temporal world. Is Jesus a temporal politician with promises of a better...

There are two choices..dead works or works of the Spirit.

We have the mind of Christ to discern what thoughts are of men and what is the perfect will of God. The flesh is limited to it's own sense of reality. But Jesus is raised from the dead. All things are possible in Christ, unbelief notwithstanding.

He is risen indeed! Maranatha!

The fleshly realm is not the greater realm...so we from that realm do not decide whether or not we wish to accept the greater realm. That is for God to decide. Our job is to repent and surrender our lives to the death through the cross so that we are available to be given access to the higher...

....or we just go with the easy path as the world does?

Christianity is about being in Christ who is all perfection. Jesus told the rich young ruler...if you would be perfect...sell all you have and come follow Me. We are to be perfect and sinless as our heavenly Father. Of course men have got hold of the gospel and made this out to be ridiculous...

The great lie of our time lies in the gospel of Barabbas who is pardoned on a technicality...thus being saved IN his sins. In other words he is a saved sinner. But we have a choice to make to follow after Jesus Barabbas...or Jesus barABBA...these seem the same at first glance. But when we have...

What GOD has joined let not man tear asunder. God has set us in families in the natural. We cannot dissolve this. Marriage is of God not men. The two become ONE flesh. Families go wrong...and so do marriages. But we have a ministry of reconciliation. We are to gather not scatter.

We must make a distinction between being a follower of Christ.....in order to become the bride of Christ and rule over the world in the kingdom...and simply surviving (being saved) and being able to scrape by. It seems so few make any distinction between the righteous and the holy. They are a...

This is a great way to avoid what I'm saying! :)

We don't choose who our parents are...yet we never divorce our parents. We don't choose our brothers and sisters...yet we do not divorce them when we have a conflict. When we make vows before the Lord to be faithful onto death....that is what we are then expected to do. Our spouse becomes a...

I think what Billy Graham meant was that Jesus IS the only way...but that not everybody who doesn't know Jesus will be condemned out of hand. We will not be judged by our beliefs but by our actions/thoughts/words. So if a man doesn't walk in the power of Christ and yet loves God and his...
