I'm sorry but to me it sounds like you are looking for a restaurant that has good hamburgers AND good fries. We live in a consumer society. Even God has become a commodity these days in our market driven economies. Solution: YOU be the one who worships and abides in the truth. Seek out others...

LOL :lol: How is this become an apologetic for the sunday morning service!??? Actually the 2 trumpets are the 2 testaments...the 2 tablets of the commandments....the 2 main laws to love God and others. But an interesting spin nonetheless!

What about duty to the One who redeemed us? If we behave like any other man...what does that say about our lives? Let the world look after the world. The world is not concerned with the things of the kingdom...and those of us who are cannot get entangled in temporal things to any degree! PS...

The victory over sin is not figurative. It is an experience of one whose flesh nature has been rendered inoperative through the removing of it's power through an experience of the cross. Victory over sin is NOW. Those who experience this death can experience the resurrection life of Christ...

Thanks for your response. I must again draw a distiction here about the sin nature and the flesh itself. These are not the same. The carnal mind is the mind that NEVER KNEW God. The carnal mind is alien to God. So how could Jesus fight the carnal nature within Himself? The fact is that Jesus...

2 Cor. 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. God's sacrifice was perfect...no blemish. God's own righteousness cannot abide with anything less than holy. So we are made pure through the blood of Christ. We then can be...

A Christian is one who esteems others higher than himself/herself Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. A Christian is taught not only directly through the Spirit but also through the other members of...

An interesting point! Yet Jesus "risked" all in abandoning His former high station only to receive the authority back again that He had previously laid down. Albeit now as the first born of a new creation that opens the possibility of bringing many sons to glory!. It depends on one's viewpoint...

A friend of mine related something that happened to him one day while hiking with 2 other men. They became lost. One had a map and the other had a compass. They could not agree on where they were or what direction to take. So my friend suggested that they combine their efforts so as to work...

The last or least in our order of society will become the ones ruling in the next age. And many are called on to run the race, but there are few winners! Could you have meant "selflessness" ?

Jesus spoke Aramaic. There is an Aramaic portion in the book of Daniel that calls the coming of the Messiah...And one like a son of man came with the clouds....! Daniel 7:13-1413 חזה הוית בחזוי ליליא וארו עם־ענני שׁמיא כבר אנשׁ אתה הוה ועד־עתיק יומיא מטה וקדמוהי הקרבוהי׃ 14 ולה יהיב שׁלטן ויקר...

Good topic Dean! While I certainly sympathize with the doctor, one must ask...how wise was he being a doctor to use his position to express his beliefs to someone who saw him as harassing him? We, as Christians do not have the right to not be persecuted for what we say. The good doctor is in...

Doesn't this show clearly how far we've come from the days of the early church? A practicing homosexual in a place of authority? Man's deviations from God's ways seemingly knows no bounds. Who instituted clergy? Who made denominations? Are these not deviations themselves? I guess it is only...

I'm not taking anything away from what you wrote...merely continuing the list. :)

Did Jesus benefit from His own death? Of course not! We are the beneficiaries of His sacrifice according to the will of God. We are also the beneficiaries of His resurrection, without which we would still be trapped as slaves to sin...His sacrifice notwithstanding! :)

A Christian is one who esteems others higher than himself/herself A Christian is taught not only directly through the Spirit but also through the other members of His Body through mutual edification unto a perfect man. A Christian is open to correction and seeks counsel and accountabiblity...

I see that we take on the nature of our father. As Jesus said...you are of your father the devil. Jesus Christ kept pointing to His Father....the living God. If Jesus was born with 2 natures then would He not have been a brat as a child...etc... that is, until He was old enough to sort out the...

I think I see where Truth is going with this. He is drawing us to the truth of Jesus' actual humanity and need to follow Jesus both in His death AND resurrection in order to partake of the fulness of the grace that is offered to us. Here is my understanding on the matter... The flesh nature...

I play the bass and like going to the range to shoot targets. :)

As much as possible we are to be at peace with all men. :)
