    Making Disciples

    Yes. A surface conversion leads to superficial fellowship. A deeper conversion brings the love. :)

    Making Disciples

    It's one thing to evangelize the unbelievers...into the first cut of the Christian walk...but quite another to engage in discipleship evangelism among those who now believe they have no further need to repent and be converted into the 2nd cut. What is very rare these days are those who...

    Blessed are the meek, for they will INHERIT the earth

    God loves the meek, the quiet and gentle spirit, the humble, the honest, the righteous. And He has mercy on those who suffer now, who are poor, lonely, fatherless and the widow. It shouldn't surprise us that God will save such into an inheritance of eternal life

    Making Disciples

    Nathaniel, the Israelite in whom there was no guile...an honest man who was a God-seeker and who was quickly won over to Christ because of an open heart and mind. Nathaniel was sensitive to God's presence. I see him like David...a man after God's heart.

    Making Disciples

    In this follow-up to the 4 eternal destinies I present how this teaching can benefit the church in fulfilling Christ's command to make disciples. Furthermore, I detail what to look for in a potential disciple and what to avoid, as well as lay out the importance of maintaining a humility and a...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Good analysis. Actually only one of the 4 destinies is directly involved in the second death....the killing of both body and soul. The lake of fire is the second death...exterminating the wicked. Not even close. Darkness has no fire in it. Fire IS light. So you are confusing darkness with...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Well, that's a simplistic point of view. What I teach is far too refined for people who only go to sunday church. For a person who wants to get hired at a certain company...all that matters is if one is hired or not. That's the first cut. Being saved from the world. Saved or not saved...that's...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Of course. Eternal life and Christ-likeness is the goal of the gospel. But not all people will receive the gospel with meekness of heart. Some will reject the message outright. Others will try taking advantage of a supposed "saved" status to prop up the flesh. Look at the parable of the Sower...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    What you deem as "spectrums" are actually historical resurrections and judgments. What I find is that people don't shift from a previous indoctrination so easily. People who are religious tend to tie up everything they know in one bundle so that nothing can be refined or adapted. But God wants...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    The deception has long taken place. People in the past have simplified the bible narrative to appeal to children and very unspiritual people. For the simplistic, there are only two destinies....choose life. Anything beyond that simplistic idea is to be avoided. But what is palatable for...

    Paul's hypocrisy and its consequence

    This thread is about wounded pride...in a failed attempt for self-aggrandisement based on a quick and somewhat superficial judgment of the apostle Paul. We see how the bible functions to expose us for what we are. The hyper-sensitivity of the flesh is connected to a heightened sense of self...

    Paul's hypocrisy and its consequence

    What is boring is your self-righteousness and your pride...so that ANY reproach against you has to be false. Just one more grand-stander here. And your hyper-sensitivity is glaring even as you attack an apostle of Christ for doing as you do. You are not seeing the bible interpreting you and your...

    Paul's hypocrisy and its consequence

    Look how sensitive you are to a perceived attack on your character. Look now at the ease with which you seek to attack Paul's character.

    Woke Olympics panics...they are now scrubbing all videos of the blasphemy

    The director of the show knew what he was doing. The advertising of it was..."La scène de la Cène sur la Seine." A play on words using words that all have the same sound. In French la "Cène" means the table of the Lord (supper). In Spanish the word for supper is "cena". The French don't use...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    I would debate even Laurel and Hardy... but they would need to watch the video first and have a real grasp of the subject. Also can you send me a link to their podcast? We are thinking of doing guests and/or interviews and debates in the future. Is this the guy? I could definitely vet your...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    You are not addressing any of the many scriptures I have presented in the context of this thread, and instead are complaining that I am not addressing one that I may have missed? Those who only see two destinies will try proving that because there is two being described at a particular...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    LOL. That's all you have...opinions. I ask those who have reading skills and retain SOME honesty to read the text for themselves...without the traditional bullying. The Spirit sets us free. :) And the truth sets us free.

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    That's your tactic...lie and then claim to be insulted and attacked when you are found out. There are others here that do the same. I think you have learned to do this more and more by having bad examples. Nevertheless let your leaven come to a fullness so that you will be what you must be.

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Hey Apak, hope you are doing well. But your opinions and changing what the bible says are not appropriate. The bible is not like a bedtime story that you get to change the text to make it fun for kids to hear. Altering the plain text to fit a previous ideology is called eisegesis. What you need...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    False. Not a word of truth in your statement. Either based on a lack of reading skills, or honesty...or both, I don't know.
