From my notes: All that is revealed with the opening of the 7 Seals pertains to the natural wickedness of unregenerate humanity and God's Righteous Judgments upon it. This theme is a thread that runs right through the Bible, and many passages in Revelation cross-reference with OT passages. Only...

Yes, sanctification is a big deal all through the OT, teaching us about God's requirement of it. Lev 10:1-3 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them...

Done, Done, & Done many times. And you?

A sanctification that is only found in idealism is not Scriptural which is why we are given this practical remedy to unsanctified hinderances. . . Heb 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does...

Yes, some believe their salvation is assured because they were sprinkled as an infant. The Parable of the Sower describes three hearers of the Word who fail to thrive.

I have observed that some saints, who have entire sanctification through the blood of Christ, still do some entirely unsanctified things, such as use profanity, make false accusations, preach false doctrine, act selfishly, and other works of the flesh, for which of course, God will hold them...

While an answer from Enoch111 is pending I would like to comment. As a child the concept of my sins being forgiven when Christ died sacrificially on the Cross seemed illogical since at that time I hadn't committed any. It took a revelation for me to fully understand that all sins past, present...

Yeah, but you have a Canadian accent.

I was reconciled to God and forgiveness for all my sins made available when the crucified Christ said "It is finished"

Hi robert derrick. Some points for your attention and edification: The Greek word "ekklesia" has not been correctly translated in the English word "church". The word “church” actually comes from a different Greek word “kuriakon". Kuriakon actually means “pertaining to the lord.” It is used...

Question: Does forgiving someone mean you are reconciled to them and they to you? If not, what else is needed?

Some more context: 2Ti 2:14-26 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. (15) Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing...

Many who have been fully in Christ Jesus and walking diligently after the Spirit have erred and strayed, falling into some sin or other due to their human weakness and the determined efforts of Satan. Jamie Buckingham writes from experience about this in his book "Where Eagles Soar". Rom 8:1...

Because then it wouldn't be the end result. When I contemplate the whole panorama of what exists in the past, present, and future, it proves to me what is possible. Everything that exists in nature proves what is possible. Within the parenthetical bookends of Divine Foreknowledge and Divine...

You may be thinking of this passage. These 10 verses support Paul's teachings that just because God's grace and forgiveness abound this is not a mandate to keep sinning. On the contrary, the Holy Spirit is never responsible for sin. 1Jn 3:1-10 Behold, what manner of love the Father has...

The sinless perfection brigade are as blind as the hypocritical Pharisees that Jesus rebuked. I was in a fellowship that became mired in the heresy that Christians are sinless and perfect and never need to confess, repent, or ask forgiveness of anyone for anything. What a wretched man their...

Walking in darkness . . . thinking no need to confess . . . pretty soon no fellowship with God. 1Jn 1:5-10 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (6) If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we...

Strong G646 ἀποστασία apostasia ap-os-tas-ee'-ah Feminine of the same as G647; defection from truth (properly the state), (“apostasy”): - falling away, forsake. Total KJV occurrences: 2 No, n2thelight. No genuine Christian apostasises. The great apostasy or falling away sorts out the genuine...

JW's are brainwashed to deny the Divinity of Christ. In their ignorance they claim he was just a man that God favoured and anointed. The Pharisees were upset when Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I Am." Joh 8:58-59 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I...

OK. I have never accepted the "Gap Theory", and I believe each day of the Creation Week was one rotation of the earth, however long that took back then. It is also my practice to gently advise Theistic Evolutionists that they are not Bible-believers since their position requires millions of...
