Judaism holds to the Scriptures and traditions. But Christianity, according to the bible is foremost conformity to the Holy Spirit and Scriptures. The Spirit speaks and we verify through then Scriptures. At Antioch, the brothers were praying when the Holy Spirit said...Yes the Holy Spirit...

We cannot judge the things that happen in this world from our limited perspective. Is this life the eternal life? Can't God raise the dead? God is both fair and just. We reap what we sow. God is a Father to the fatherless and He protects the poor and weak. If we don't see the justice of this in...

To Richard: A victory in Christ over sin means it no longer has power over us. If we have victory over smoking let's say...does that just mean we can smoke and not get cancer or otherwise harm our bodies? Do you mean we have victory over the EFFECTS of sin but not the sin itself??? Please...

How do we have victory over the flesh through Christ if we continue to sin? A victory is a triumph OVER something. Victory is not achieved through stating a bible verse without the reality being made manifest to the world around us! Maybe you mean...we WILL have victory over the flesh once we...

Before one accuses someone of accusing they should look at the whole content of the message. When a finger is pointed at someone there are three more pointing back at you.

It appears that Paul is referring to the fallen creation that is crying out because of the absence of God. There is a new heaven and earth coming......a paradise that all of creation yearns for.

The bible is not meant to be received on an intellectual level. It is not a book of philosophy. It is a record of God interacting with mankind. We are to become involved in that interaction ourselves. The testimony of others is to spur us on to seek the Lord for ourselves and experience what...

And as long as men of the Spirit led the church the word of God was not able to be twisted into fables. But after the godly ones were put to death, the clerics came in with bizarre traditions.

Who's oral word? The word of popes? You are about to become unpopular here! ;)

You will write off the bible because I sinned after conversion? Please do not trust in men but God!

This includes the angels of course. Are you advocating a universal salvation?

1. We are saved from past sins and then empowered to not sin through grace? 2. We are positionally saved from sin in advance since no one can ever stop sinning while in the present bodies? Sin is no longer an issue? 3. We must try really hard to stop sinning by our own efforts? Which option...

I don't hold to what is presented as any tradition. I believe they have all been corrupted. We need to look to the Spirit and the word and to measure our traditions through the biblical text. We cannot ask people to just trust men and what they have come up with. We are to test ALL things and...

The vanity lies in the ignoring of the scriptures in order to reduce the gospel to something we can already relate to from past experience. Doing this cements in the lack of growth and discovery of the power that sets one free. We are in a war. And there is great delusion out there. I am trying...

What kind of doctrine is this? If Jesus rejects someone, the lady Mary cannot help him. Why has this discussion turned into a discussion about Mary? Mary is a sister like any other sister. She is not the mother of God. She is the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, The rest is superstition and plain...

Yes I have. So what is John getting at?

But is there power from Jesus to destroy sin...not just cover it up?

Is there presently a deliverance from sin?

So you have Mary as a mediator between us and the Mediator Jesus Christ? Wouldn't Mary get too busy with so many praying to her? So who will mediate for Mary? Actually the idea of Mary has replaced the Holy Spirit in truth. It is the Holy Spirit that intercedes for those who are already in HIS...
