    Wonderful.....I pray the Lord to reveal Jesus to you and that you would know His joy. It's miraculous when He gets hold of a soul. Ask, seek and you will find...knock and the door will be opened to you. Blessings.

    homosexuality and ethics

    @2ndRateMind Scripture is GOD's word. He who knows the end from the beginning and knows all the thoughts of men hasn't missed out on anything. His word trumps the thoughts and ways of mankind.....God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours. May I ask whether you have received Christ? His...

    "Church pastors" where are you???

    Luk 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. This doesn't mean it is literally Elijah reincarnated, but it is the same...

    "Church pastors" where are you???

    I consider that it could be true that we become a living soul when we are born and inhale the first time and receive the breath of life, and that our spirit exits the body the same way (through our last exhaled breath) at the point of death.......BUT we should reflect that as new covenant...

    homosexuality and ethics

    The consequence for sin is judgment - eternal damnation. The consequence for faith in Christ is eternal life. We looooove our sin, it feeeeeeeels so right, but the truth is we can't have Jesus and our sin both at the same time. Be willing to forsake sin and follow Jesus in the footsteps of...

    homosexuality and ethics

    Obviously God hold us to account for our sins. And His wrath is RIGHTEOUS and JUST. The whole world has been under His wrath since the fall in the Garden...that's the reason why there is so much suffering in this world. But you know, He gives grace to the humble, not to the proud. When we...

    homosexuality and ethics

    Often it's a kind of self-righteousness and pride involved too. Almost as though the devil is trying to essentially accuse God of not being righteous enough. 1Co 5:1-2 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the...

    homosexuality and ethics

    It sure is when it's the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY making the assertion. Who are we little specks of dust temporarily flying around in space, to argue with HIM.

    sorry, double post

    homosexuality and ethics

    If that were the case He wouldn't have sent His Son to die an excruciating death in order to provide the (only) way of escape from His righteous wrath, for those who are willing. A very high price was paid, because He cares a great deal.

    homosexuality and ethics

    Because it's demonic. Even if it doesn't "seemeth" so to you or anyone. The devil makes captives to do his will. And they actually are harming each other...it's a form of abuse. Aids, monkeypox, rectal repair surgeries. No children produced...they are being robbed of a normal life. And often one...

    homosexuality and ethics

    That is so strange. Because He surely HAS enlightened us with His will in the scriptures - both old and new testaments. His laws of righteousness were and are a light in the darkness in an evil pagan world that has completely lost its way. It sounds like you don't know the Lord or His word at...

    My New Podcast: Spiritual Christianity

    Could it be a bit of both in a way...that we need to strive to apprehend - bring down to our "earth" - what has been imputed and laid up for us in heaven?

    My New Podcast: Spiritual Christianity

    I have no idea what's involved, but wouldn't worry too much about getting everything technically perfect....as long as the message is getting out there, it's best to remain in the simplicity of Christ and keep things simple. Thanks so much for doing this, I find it encouraging and affirming...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    I like these verses that I believe are part of what is being talked about here: Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye...

    Why the FLESH is against the SPIRIT.

    Hebrews does speak of those who are not yet matured, who are still babes needing the milk of the word, not yet able to bear the meat of the word. And that we need to leave the foundational things and go on to perfection. So that is one place where scripture does speak of a process of growth...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Amen, it absolutely is. Jesus, when He was "in the form of God" thought it not robbery to be equal to God, the second Adam is "the Lord from heaven", Jesus praying to the Father, "now glorify me with the glory I had with you before the world began"......it's everywhere in the word of God. It...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    You love to ask questions but don't seem to like answering questions. Are you born again? If not, you need to be.

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    But it doesn't say God's likeness was manifested, it says GOD was manifested. Also have to take many other scriptures into account, of course. And the reason the scriptures are saying it "tactfully" is because it's a matter to be revealed to the heart, not the carnal mind in the fleshly realm...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    You are forgetting that man was made in God's image from the get-go, so the horse and man analogy doesn't apply. My praise and thanks to the Lord for His wisdom, He is so good. :)
