    Choosing God's Will Over Our Own.

    Matthew 26:39-44 (39) And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as You will. (40) And He comes unto the disciples, and finds them asleep, and says unto Peter, What, could...

    Sin and Satan EXPOSED

    Revelation 3:19 (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

    Why do you think faith alone saves us?

    Faith is the conduit, the channel, the pipeline, the medium through which grace flows from God to the believer. Without faith for it to travel through grace cannot be imparted to a person. I believe the Gospel reveals that unrepented sin blocks the flow of God's grace to believers and...

    A discussion about Freemasonry.

    In the name of Jesus Christ I pray that in time you will renounce Freemasonry and be filled with the Holy Spirit. 2Corinthians 4:3-6 (3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light...

    What does the Kingdom of God mean to you?

    Before Benoni answers allow me to reiterate my position and add to the discussion: I believe this includes but is not confined to the church that is made up of the believers who constitute the body of Christ. The institutions and denominations which are in error and apostasy are not part of...

    A discussion about Freemasonry.

    There may have been trouble with the link I gave earlier to this article so here it is in full with the comments it attracted. I firmly believe that Christians should renounce Masonry and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

    What does the Kingdom of God mean to you?

    JFB Commentary: To me the kingdom of God is anything that God's power produces. Luke 17:20-21 (20) And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:(21)Neither shall they say, Lo here! or...

    A discussion about Freemasonry.

    Freemasonry quenches the Holy Spirit in a number of ways, one of them being the prohibition regarding the mention of Jesus Christ by masons to other masons. The British Methodist Church condemned Masonry at its General Assembly in 1985. The Assembly acted on a report of its Faith and Order...

    Spiritual Goals

    Ten years to go on that one; twelve if our government raises the current age to the same as Australia's. It is actually quite an easy task to search and copy Scriptures etc. from the e-sword program I have installed on my laptop. If you don't have this free download here is the link...

    Spiritual Goals

    Now a good exercise would be to find a supporting Scripture for each one. I purposely left my supporting Scriptures out at the start to allow for discussion but as you see I have now provided them.

    Spiritual Goals

    Thanks for your reply, Samy. I trust that you also will always grow in grace as you "continue in the faith of Christ". Colossians 1:21-23 (21) And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has He reconciled (22) In the body of His flesh through...

    A discussion about Freemasonry.

    (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Masons can be the nicest people, but in my experience the powers and principalities that find a foothold...

    Hi Whirlwind, I think it was someone posting to you on another forum that alerted me to this one. I see you still have your sense of humour...Sawdust...aha. As yet my wife has no online interests but is very involved with Scrabble associations and their tournaments.

    Seeking Man's Favor: The Root of Religious Unbelief

    According to Scripture having favour with men is not forbidden. Pro 22:1 (1) A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. Ecc 7:1 (1) A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. Luk...

    Spiritual Goals

    The following verses should throw some light on that: 1Th 4:1-12 (1) Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have received of us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more and more. (2) For you know what commandments we...

    A discussion about Freemasonry.

    1Th 5:5 (5) You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. I once read a very informative book exposing the dark side of Freemasonry. It was called "Darkness Visible". A very good point was the fact that initiates are blindfolded and...

    Any Sects That Do Not Practice Music?

    Some churches place an overemphasis on music and many over amplify sound. This type of religious bondage is driven by a particularly obstinate demonic "strongman" . In my experience those who challenge the misguided leaders that promote this undisciplined domination are likely to be considered...

    How does one blasphemy the Holy Spirit?

    The Holy Spirit is the means by which forgiveness is "given". Therefore, if this means is rejected forgiveness is not able to be "given" since there is no other means available to mankind. Quote from The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia.The Holy Spirit in the beginnings of the Christian...
