    Very good selections you posted. I don't have any videos, sorry. :)

    Is it a sin for a Christian to vote for a Democrat?

    The issue is really about whether voting is sinful or not. Since there is really only a semblance of democracy with very little to choose from in the exercise of the vote, I would say that it is harmful enough. The more importance we put on the vote the more we tend towards trusting in men in...

    do you KNOW the Lord

    Good grief! All that to avoid pressing an elevator button on a Sunday. Otherwise you don't know God? Can you say...futility?

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    And the announcement of there being a Corona virus comes from disease control not us. It's ALL what they have done for us. But does that mean we are now immune from the virus because we "accept" it as true? Quite the opposite, we need to line up our lives with the announcement otherwise we have...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    "Fully sanctified" is His perfection not ours. Inside His righteousness we learn righteousness until we attain to the full stature of Christ IN righteousness in a full maturity. It is a higher righteousness than what man can normally attain. This is the righteousness of saints.

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    Sin has the power to separate us from God. Christ is the power over sin in the person who walks by grace through faith. Nothing can separate us from the love of God....but sin is still sin...and the wages of sin is still death. Paul said if we continue to sow to the flesh....we will reap...

    True View of God

    Not sure what you are getting at here. But I find that the modern generation of believers have been indoctrinated into claiming all the high sounding verses for themselves as if presumption was a virtue. As in...turn the to person next to you and say..."I AM seated in heavenly places in Christ...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    People mainly don't love Jesus...they want something He is offering...namely salvation! Selfishness. People don't want truth..they want security...a covering up of their sins and weaknesses. And so Jesus seems to fit that bill. But the reason why the Jews rejected Jesus was not because they...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Gal. 2:17, 18 The problem is worse when one has never had the power of...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    This is fully ridiculous. It takes a lot of indoctrination to make God out to be unrighteous like that. The first point of righteousness is to see things as they are. To attribute means to judge something that is there. NOT....something that isn't there.

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    To impute means to attribute. As in the crying was imputed to the baby. Now we all know that baby's cry. But Luther developed this fiction that says that God imputes His righteousness to us. That's like God recognizing that we are God. If you can swallow that then you have been...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    This is the essence of Gnosticsm....reading yourself into a verse by a certain understanding that allows you to do that. Like a lawyer looking for a way into a document. But if you read the bible correctly...it never allows a self-justification. This is beginner's stuff.

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    How can you justify yourself as righteous for reading a certain chapter in the bible? It's a modern trend. The whole weight of teaching in both testaments is against self-justification. Jesus was punished for our sins. That is a mark against us. And we are still doing the same thing when we...

    True View of God

    One of the principle tenets of Judaism is that they are to have God continually before them in thought. So what you are saying is good...unless you claim to be justified in that. Then you have fallen into the same trap as the Pharisees who also do as you do....both by basking in the sublimity...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    So do explain how the obedience of Jesus to His father is credited to you. One person's righteousness cannot be imputed to another. That is exactly contrary to the scriptures. One person cannot be punished, righteously, for the sins of another. And then there is the issue of you taking on that...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    The Holy Spirit is not business as usual...it is the power of God to walk as Jesus walked. You are looking to sin without guilt. The wages of sin is still death...no matter how you deal with that emotionally. But the gospel is not about feeling better about your sinful weakness...it is the...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    Grace is the power of God...His strength that is meant for the weak inner man. 2 Cor. 12:9 Gnosticism is an easy way to pass the outer Adamic man into a supposed area of grace. This is done by dividing the inner man from the outer man....but the wrong way. It is to take away the...

    What is dogma?

    Revelation isn't grace. Grace is the power to fulfill the revelation. We add faith into the revelation and wait on the Lord for His strength.

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    This is pure Gnosticism and false. It is a human reasoning trying to fit Adam into the bible wordings...unsuccessfully. When we sin...ALL of us sins. A little leaven leavens the whole batch. Without spot or wrinkle means just that. Righteous is as righteous does. Elect is as elect does. You...

    The False Doctrine with key word "COVER"

    Here is the real issue.... Is it right to try resisting sin in one's own strength? Now Judaism is based on this...on David and His heart. David said... Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. So who is doing the hiding? God?....or is it our devotion...
