What!! Who says???

True. I didn't intend to put South Africans down. The ones I know personally are good men of God and I respect them greatly.

The problem is that he can't change, because the only way he can change is if the Holy Spirit allows him to see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ. Until he understands that, he will remain blinded. "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of...

It was like a great white shark came out of nowhere and rattled my cage!!! These South Africans have a very abrupt way of expressing themselves. Must be their Boer ancestry. If I was a sheep farmer, I wouldn't talk to my dog like that!

What the heck's going on with you? What brought that on? Whew! If I had any hair, I'd have a new part in it! All I did was to repeat what Paul said about law and grace! And I got a salvo for it!

You know, I have been a Christian for over 50 years, and am only just learning how to be more effective in witnessing the gospel to the unsaved. I was put off in my younger years because of the very low success rate in spite of all the time and effort put into it over a number of years, and...

I have discovered that the main failure in witnessing is that we are treating Gentiles as Jews as if they have a God-centred world view. This may have been true in the 1950s where most people had a God-centred world view even if they never darkened the door of a church. But the world view of...

:p

I don't think that is necessary after your brilliant post matching the 10 Commandments to the New Testament!

Wow! You certainly have done your homework! :)

Actually, the opposite is true, because the Scripture says that if we are saved by keeping the Law grace is no more grace. But Jesus came to seek and save sinners; that means He seeks the law breakers and the lawless in order to save them, but the person has to see themselves as a law breaker...

Okay. Go through the Galatians 5 list and compare them with the Ten Commandments and see which Commandment is broken for each item on the list that would keep someone out of the kingdom of God. Galatians t is quite clear, no one who does any of the things on the list will inherit the kingdom...

:p Is that near enough?

The last words of the mayor of Hiroshima: "What the f... was that?"

Jesus said that when He comes again, people will be living normal lives, eating, drinking and giving in marriage, as it was in the days of Noah. Before the Coronavirus crisis, that is exactly what we all were doing, and when it has passed and life returns to normal, which it will, then life...

I know that I have concentrated on the sinful part of us, probably more than what would be normal when writing to Christian believers; but it is because much of the modern preaching of the gospel to the unsaved describes God as a loving God and a Jesus who wants people to accept Him so He can...

I do know what Christ has done for me. He suffered for three hours on the cross to take upon Himself the wrath of God that I deserve for my sins, and He has received the penalty that I should receive. He was also whipped and by His stripes I am healed, His body was broken to make me whole...

Perhaps. But the Jews would have heard their Scriptures read to them, and both Peter and Paul preached from the Jewish Scriptures, and quoted them to back up their preaching of the gospel. The Berean Jews were literate in the Hebrew Scriptures and possibly the Septuagint, and they were able to...

Although we will face the judgment, we have nothing to fear from it, because we have our title deed of our salvation through Christ, because He is faithful, He will honour it when we stand before Him on that day, and our names are already in the book of life, written there before the foundation...

It is because we have already judged ourselves as being guilty of sin. Paul says that if we judge ourselves we will not be judged. What this means that when we stand before Christ in the judgment, He will acknowledge that we have already judged ourselves guilty of sin and are trusting in His...
