    Recommendations for studying after the Gospel of John?

    The book of Hosea is about Ephraim....the Gentile church. A people who were not a people who are now the people of God. From the beginning, Israel was BOTH a nation (goy) AND a congregation of nations (kehal goyim). Gen. 35:11 "And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and...

    Misunderstanding Paul with Tovia Singer

    The claims of Tovia Singer against both the New Testament and Christianity are easily refuted by any apologist. Not being an apologist myself, but rather being motivated by a concern for sound doctrine within the Church, I submit this commentary/teaching meant to refute any mischaracterization...

    The Key to Discipleship

    Nice way to manipulate my words. God has always been merciful...ready to forgive. Jesus died to TAKE AWAY the sins of the world...not cover them up. Atonement is about CLEANSING to make holy. Again its superficiality trying to deny the depth of the truth.

    The Key to Discipleship

    I appreciate your step-wise approach on this. It is worthy of a disciple.

    The Key to Discipleship

    And thank you for your comments.... It should be remembered that Jesus was sent to the people of God not to "unbelievers of the Gentiles". The disciples were called out from the people, the general population, for training. They represent believers who are in the lower walk...not yet translated...

    The Key to Discipleship

    A sample....a measure is not the FULL measure.

    The Key to Discipleship

    This is fear-based thinking...holding on to your precious sample as if any call beyond that is a threat to you. That's why I say you have a religious spirit based on a religious certainty. You misunderstand God's way in Christ. The foundation is fully NOT YOU or in you. It is found IN CHRIST...

    The Key to Discipleship

    A tree is known of its fruit. What is the light we are to walk in that cleanses us from all sin? The higher walk in the kingdom realm...in God's righteousness. If we have only known the limitations of the flesh in our walk...then we have not yet walked "in" the Spirit. "Christ in you" is the...

    The Key to Discipleship

    We are to seek first...as our number 1 priority as His people...the kingdom of God and His righteousness. What is taught now is that this doesn't need to be sought for (the very opposite of Christ's teaching) since it is "already ours" in the very first step of our believing. As such we are...

    The Key to Discipleship

    A superficial understanding doesn't have any power. Religion tends to puff up the condition of its adherents...in their own estimation...whereas God only gives grace to the humble. How much superficiality does it take to overwhelm a simple exposition of the truth? Well, the shallows know...

    The Key to Discipleship

    false gospel...so muddled that there is nothing in common with the truth. You want to "let Jesus die for your sins" I can't explain to you how manipulative that is. And you think God can't see you... amazing. Hopefully before the end you will see the folly in your thinking. No one uses God...

    Hey...when you get a chance, have a listen and leave your comments. :)

    Ha...you never even mentioned the dire need to believe about Jesus.. you are slipping. :ummm:

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You flatter your own ego...and call that serving who???

    The Key to Discipleship

    Lizbeth testifies that the foundation is found in her. (Christ in her) If you know ABOUT the foundation...being Christ...then why not go to Him and build from there? Why remain vain in your religious notions?

    The Key to Discipleship

    False. The word for remission of sins...aphesis means FREEDOM. You would have that be freedom TO SIN as opposed to the biblical freedom FROM sin. Why? Because God can no longer see you..or so you think. False as can be. The cross is not about forgiveness of sins...it is about atonement...the...

    The Key to Discipleship

    False. The gospel is that Jesus was raised from the dead to empower us to walk as He walked...in victory over sin. All who enter INTO Him overcome as He did. Jesus died for the sins of all men whether we believe He did or not. We don't vet Jesus...He vets us. So your scheme is backwards..it...

    The Key to Discipleship

    Works salvation based on presumptions and assumptions. Religious gobbledygook that all takes place in the imagination...no truth...no reality...just name and claim. Lizbeth should love your post.

    The Key to Discipleship

    The schemes of men are better to be found out now than on judgment day. That is a wisdom seldom understood. How many seek God? How many just lazily put their trust in paid preacher/salesmen? There is a curse on those who trust in men. And there is eternal blessing for those who trust in God and...
