One should always start with a definition of faith if you want to discuss it. Here are a couple translations of Heb. 1:1. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." KJV So what is the "substance" of things hoped for? What is the evidence of things not...

You make a goid point. The Seven Churches werw apecific chueches in thw first century that continued, but were alai chuech-types thoughout the ages. Two were faithful and the others suffered from sin and false doctrines. Jesus' message to them was to repent or else. We still sin and teach false...

Those who believe in Jesus will be saved, those who don't will not - He said so. Everything good comes from God. Faith is spiritual and so is the fruit of the Spirit. You know before Calvin, the doctrine of Election was given by God. "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be...

Therein lies your error! "... Must worship in a way He desires". ??? This implies a "works" oriented faith. It suggests we have to perform some ritualistic right of passage to attain salvation. No, faith is a gift, not earned, not merited, with no formulas or methods or conditions attached ...

One of my favorite passages! He is our rest, in whom we find peace. He leads us as if a yoke were on our necks. The yoke guides us to follow Him. If we are with someone who is guided by another faith, then that would be an unequally yoked relationship. Each person would be trying to go in...

I am not a Calvinist, but I ususally agree with RC Sproul, and quote him often. He is correct about OSAS. There are many aspects of our salvation/faith, and perservence is only one of them. Faith is a gift. The "gift of FAITH" is a result of an enormous array of preparation, guidance, lessons...

And with sonship comes inheritance. It's lots more than a title, or position. We are Co-heirs with Christ. I know knew that, just thought I'd reiterate all the things above that we are to focus on - so many perfect things.

Ahhh..interesting. Adolf's grandfather could have been Baron Rothschild. His affair with his servant, Maria Schicklgruber would have been kept secret to save him embarassment within the royal family. Wouldn't be surprised if money was given to Johan Heidler to marry Maria quickly as to account...

Don't know much about Hitler. How was he related to the Rothschilds? He hated the Jews. Rothschilds did have control of the Europen banks for hundreds of years - still do. They are key players in this New World Order ... along with Soros, Gates ...

You do not believe in the future resurrection of the dead? That is our primary hope, as Christians _ eternal life. Jesus was the first, and paved the way for the rest of us to follow.

We can say the whole OT is a message to Israel. My point is that the regathering of physical Jews (who were alive in 1948 and Jews alive since then) back to the nation of Israel is a different topic than the resurrection of the dead dry bones. They both concern Israel, but quite different events.

I totally agree with the rest of your post about spiritual warfare..just this first verse doesn't seem applicable. Isaiah 40 is talking about (IMO), Armageddon, a physical warfare yet to take place. Verses 15 and 17 state the nations are like dust (who will all rise against Jerusalem) and He...

Sorry, I disagree and think God is literally describing Him resurrecting dead bones out if graves, and being specific about putting flesh on the bones and breathing life, with a new resurrected, eternal body ... then He says, when I do that, THEN you will know that I am the Lord. Evidently, the...

Your first verse answered the question of what thebcaysenifbthus fall from grace is, legalism. Relying on a works oriented salvation. Righteousness does not come by the LAW. That is a different gospel and we see that in many churches across the spectrum of Christianity. I do suppose that one can...

Beware, if you ever make it to heaven, Christ may greet you with a cross to wear around your neck for all eternity!

My Mommy stopped giving me her breast ... I cried for awhile and moved on. "Burgers ... emm ... good ... can I have some lettuce and tomato with that please". No seriously, a tree takes awhile before it can bear fruit. Learning about what LOVE is, is the beginning and then the application part...

Well, Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father but by Him. Also "if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed". That is the spiritual seed. There are the promises to bloodline as well, to Israel. I often think of all those who never heard of the gospel...

Milk is not a division of any kind! The analogy used is a comparison of the gospel and basics which feeds the new born Christians with mother's milk given to infants. A mother's milk is pure nourishment, but when the infant starts to cut teeth and grow a little older, they need meat. So the...

I definitely disagree with Replacement Theology and agree with your premise except with the fulfullment of the vision of dry bones. This passage is talking about the resurrection of the dead. Ti tje dry bones He says: "...I will make breath enter you and you will come to life. I will attach...

Yes, well I was taught that speaking forth the word of God is prophesying too. Prophets do teach but teachers aren't necessarily prophets. There is a distinction in Eph. 4:11
