    When You Are Born Again of the Spirit

    My people perish for lack of knowledge. Many false teachers have arisen to settle people in their flesh. This is very popular and necessary for a "successful" ministry. But it is a ministry that avoids the cross. Modern believers in the West are taught to avoid having to do anything to further...

    When You Are Born Again of the Spirit

    You are not seeing that the bible testifies to the access we have for the grace needed to stand. Your religious conditioning is blinding you to the full measure of grace that is available as we go to the cross. You will not understand the throne of grace and its purpose. You would rather rest...

    When You Are Born Again of the Spirit

    That's simply not true. You'd have to be familiar with Romans 7 to understand the point. Paul claimed that sin remained in his members AFTER knowing the Lord, loving the Lord, and wanting to follow after the Lord and His ways. What is being denied is the power of the cross of Christ. There is...

    The lies about gen 6

    They are angels that serve as principalities over nations and cities. They are a lower order of angels than the ones who serve God directly. They were meant to watch over men. The angelic rebellion included these principalities who refused to serve humankind but rather became convinced that they...

    Who are the Promised Ones who shall possess the Land of God, forever?

    This is conjecture as the bible states that God fulfilled that promise...to Israel. Abram's covenant included more than just Israel (but not less) including Ishmael and the nations listed in the following verse in Gen 15. Here is the verse that concludes the matter.. Josh. 21:43 So the Lord...

    When You Are Born Again of the Spirit

    Paul is exhorting believers (that means they are already Christian) to "put on Christ" or put on the New Man...or put on the full armour of God. THAT is the fullness of grace that can be purchased from the Lord through the sacrifice of the outer man. So many people are NOT ready to be taught...

    When You Are Born Again of the Spirit

    I find it amazing that people would rather feel good now about owning their salvation than to consider how they might be among the foolish virgins. HALF of believers are foolish virgins. And more if you take into account that we are in the end times. Yet so few are wise enough to consider this...

    When You Are Born Again of the Spirit

    You are missing the message here. We are complete IN Him. He is not complete in us. That is why so many believers fail and lower the standard of Christ to a sinful holiness. So what you are saying is exactly upside down. Now most people will never walk in resurrection life. They are still...

    When You Are Born Again of the Spirit

    Being born again of the Spirit is a gift of initial grace. It is a beginning not an end. It is only a sample of God's grace. If we wish to have the full measure of grace then we will need to give all we have and are to the Lord. Our offering must be accepted for the baptism in the Spirit to take...

    By Rejecting the Forgiveness and Love of JESUS, One Chooses to Die In His Sins and Go To Hell = Mark

    Here Jesus is giving us some insight into the Holy Spirit and how that connects the Father and Son...and how we can enter into that same Spirit with them. The One Spirit is eternal. When we enter into Christ, we enter into the eternal fellowship of the Father and the Son. There is a divine...

    By Rejecting the Forgiveness and Love of JESUS, One Chooses to Die In His Sins and Go To Hell = Mark

    You are parroting the Bible but without understanding. In what capacity was Jesus with the Father...was He a PR man? or...as it says in the bible that Jesus was the Creator and without Him nothing was created. But you will not be able to take your mind and heart that far from its pre-conceived...

    Salvation is by Grace through Faith.

    Real grace and faith bring real power. Men have reduced grace and faith to a religious formula that has no power. Both grace and faith are of the eternal kind if they save you. We are saved away from the flesh and into eternal life and reality by grace through faith. But many will claim the...

    How does God Create Evil

    God created evil by giving both orders of creation (angels and men) free will and then having them interact with each other. It is in the interaction that we get temptations of a higher order...hence evil.

    By Rejecting the Forgiveness and Love of JESUS, One Chooses to Die In His Sins and Go To Hell = Mark

    The Logos is the word YHVH...The Lord God of Israel. The Father is the Most High (Elyon) or the singular Yah. Elohim is plural (dual)...both Father and Son. Mayim (water) is plural (dual) both bitter and sweet. Ephraim is plural meaning double fruit. Mahanaim means 2 camps. Chayim is life...

    By Rejecting the Forgiveness and Love of JESUS, One Chooses to Die In His Sins and Go To Hell = Mark

    The rejection is by believers. The non-acceptance is by unbelievers. How many believers reject the deeper implications of the gospel? How many refuse obedience and conformity to God's ways? How many deny the truth? This is all too common. I think it is unwise to read about religious people of...

    Great Schism in the Body

    The reason is that we expose ourselves by the way we think. God is looking for us to believe from the innermost part of us. The inner man is in the deepest part of us. Many people believe from a superficial part of themselves (the outer man). There is no depth to the outer man...it's all about...

    Heaven (Matthew 4:17)

    Jesus could have said... access to Zion in the spiritual realm is about to open up to you. We are to seek the kingdom of God. If the kingdom realm was only available after we die then we would have to be seeking our physical death...which of course is absurd. Through Christ, we have access into...

    John Calvin and Calvinism.

    A half truth plus another half truth doesn't lead to the truth if a person only stands for one at a time.

    Church Bashing

    Being freed from sin is the result of the outer man being crucified. If you wish to ride on the testimony of Paul as if it was transferable to you by wishful thinking and adopted belief...you have the free will to do so.

    Church Bashing

    Which part of people...that is the issue that you are avoiding...again! Do you believe that Jesus died to save the WHOLE man? Do you believe that it is only when we wish to save our lives that we are saved...OR...when we lose our lives that we are saved? So which part do we give up (if any)? It...
