Do you believe that every knee will bow? Philippians 2:10-11 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Now...

Grace is only sovereign in that it is the power of God over sin. So then the ONLY sovereignty of grace is that of a victory over sin. In worldly politics there are 2 main strategies for growth and sustainability. One is stimulus and the other is austerity. Both are useful if used wisely and at...

Very few are cut out to be saints. Jesus said that many will try but few will be able to pass through that door and walk that narrow path. Going into the reasons for that are both simple and complex...and too in depth for this thread.

Or..He CAN be if He wishes. To make His presence to be something we control is like a form of conjuring. Way too religious. But God is free to come and go as He pleases. Our job is to attract God by our faith and our acts.

The question we should be asking ourselves is this....what are we doing with what God gave us? All the ones who perished in the wilderness were saved from Egypt. But God was not pleased with many of them. Likewise He is not pleased with many of us.

Revelation 22:11 “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”

And the principalities. God is fair and righteous. If we are going to judge angels then they need to see that we are who we are supposed to be. So then being a Christian is like being in an officer school. If a person is not up to that...there is still being saved through humility and the fear...

The bible describes 4 possibilities...for the actual studiers of the bible to discover...4 eternal destinies. There are 2 resurrections...each with a good and bad outcome. There is first the resurrection and judgment the house of God...and then of the nations. When a person is saved in the...

There is more to salvation than just having been saved at one time. A person who is saved from drowning does not automatically learn how to swim. And being saved once from drowning doesn't mean that person will not die from drowning later. So then part of salvation is leaning how to swim so...

May we beware of creating a god in our own image. A god that appeases our flesh....that is partisan to us the way our ego is. A god we have made from our ego. A god who thinks like us and never disagrees with us. A god that is always on our side. A god that protects us while condemning others. A...

Amen Nancy. He allows Christians to also be the worst of people...enemies of the truth and the cross. And these will have begun with favour, grace and mercy. But they are destined for a terrible end. All of God's ways are righteous and balanced. So then people know that heretics exist and...

To whom much is given MORE is required. We may have begun our Christian walks with grace and mercy. But truth must also make it's acquaintance to us. How will we accept the truth? Will we, as so many, refuse the truth in favour of more mercy? Now grace is the power to do God's will. Mercy is...

People tend to take things too far....to miss the bigger picture...and this especially when there is a self-interested motive. I would like to bring some clarity to the doctrine of sovereign (or irresistible) grace. This has become the heresy of our time...making God into a garbage can of...

"We gulp down the lies that flatter us but we only receive the truth that is bitter to us in drops (if at all)" Diderot

What is sad is when believers are not able to "add to your faith" anything that is outside their indoctrination. They have a rigid system of beliefs that one must hold to in it's entirety or not at all. So then other members of the body have no function towards them at all. They have adopted a...

I'm a seeker that is always looking to deepen my understanding. So it's not a change of doctrine...but an adding to it. Whether a poster is wrong about something or right...it makes you think. And contemplation and meditation is good for the soul. There are times though when I have to go for a...

Amen. The Jerusalem which is above. Zion. The mother of all who are born from above. "Derousha"...the city that is found by seeking...sought out. A spiritual realm reserved for the Bride. They who enter into it's gates know God and His holiness. The time to enter into it's gates is now.

That is also a miscalculation...since the loss of all things would be equivalent to losing all your own and even your clothes so that you are now eternally naked and shamed. In a great house there are both vessels of honour AND dishonour. I hope you pray about it.

I think Church culture has taken over from Church life. The origin of any Christian product is the world. But the life comes from heaven.

This kind of teaching is in error and leads many to never attain to grace. We will all be judged before Christ...and believers are more strictly judged than non-believers. Unfortunately they who seem to be teachers don't understand God's ways and lead people astray with their presumptions and...
