    The 10th Commandment

    Yes...unless one is crucified so that the one living is Christ. Otherwise we are looking for something to fulfill us in OUR lives. Either we are in control...or God is. A Christian is a person who is learning to turn over his/her life over to God for certain times...as one can. As such these...

    The 10th Commandment

    When Jesus listed the commandments of the second tablet...to love your neighbour as yourself... He omitted the last one...the 10th commandment. That commandment is in a class apart. It actually goes with being in the Spirit along with the first 4 commandments. Mat. 19:16 Now behold, one came...

    The 10th Commandment

    They who are crucified with Christ. The power of the cross crucifies us to the world and it's lusts. Gal. 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

    May the Lord be with you both in this trying time. <><

    I'm a troubled soul.

    Truth is as real as a heart attack. We can think we are immune from pain and soon find out that our bodies are very sensitive to harm (unless we are lepers of course). The truth works that way too. You can deny the truth for a time...but sooner or later you will be confronted with the...

    The Tent of David

    In the previous post I mentioned that the word David came in 2 variants, a three letter or four letter variant. So the 3 letter word that we translate as DAVID looks like this דוד The 4 letter variant of DAVID looks like this דויד ..This version adds in a "youd" י which means a "hand." Now...

    The Tent of David

    Why...with all the other names that God could have used...is the training ground of the church called "the tent of David."??? Why David? We see the same thing with the "key of David". Why not just "keys of the kingdom."??? Why the "house" of David? So there is something with the word...

    The 10th Commandment

    The dreaded 10th commandment. Why single that commandment out? There were 2 tablets of commandments given at Sinai. The first with the 4 holiness laws...and the 2nd with the 6 righteousness laws. But the 10th commandment is unique in that it is not an outward commandment but an inward one...

    Forgive and you will be forgiven

    With this simple error the words of Jesus go out the window. Then, everything that is based on that error is out in left field (actually right field) We have been forgiven the sins that are past....and we have an advocate with Jesus who will judge each case individually. This idea of God...

    Dead faith.

    A lie. We will ONLY be judged for what we have done in these bodies. We will not be judged by what we have believed or not. A lot of baby Christians have never been severed from their unbiblical cords. 2 Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may...

    Spotting the Heretic

    But God is not like a hampster or even a human. They who know Him do fear Him. They who have a theoretical ideology ABOUT God are not going to fear a god of their own design. A man can't make a god that he fears...because the master is the creator. But a person who encounters the living God...

    Spotting the Heretic

    I think we have all spotted the heretic here.o_O Pitting the gospel against a simple childlike righteousness is to corrupt both the gospel and righteousness. Peter said that all who fear the Lord and do what is right are accepted by God. The gospel speaks of a higher walk by grace...but that...

    understanding Paul

    There was a change in the holiness laws and the priesthood. The holiness laws were not a living holiness. Heb. 7: 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order...

    understanding Paul

    Do you see that you are actually the one doing what you think I am doing? Read you own post to yourself. I am speaking the truth about a generation that no longer believes the gospel. Everything has been reduced to what men can do. Where is the connection to God?
  15. Episkopos

    understanding Paul

    Yes. But righteousness is not the same as holiness. The OT champions righteousness and the NT champions holiness. We have the power to be humble and submit to God in our human capacity. But only in Christ are we connected to a holy God.

    understanding Paul

    When a person makes the gospel to be idealistic...that's a big problem. It's just that Jesus died to take us from the flesh and into the Spirit...into the fellowship with the Father and the Son in the light. So you are exempting yourself from that pursuit? The disappointment for NOT seeking...

    understanding Paul

    There are some good things in here. But also some inaccuracies. We can follow Christ at different distances at different times. Some people are happy to follow Him from a great distance in a "spectator" mode. Others will make their way forward to stay in a much closer proximity to be active...

    understanding Paul

    Jeremiah 9:26 “Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.” God wanted Israel to adopt a new...

    Toward Death More Abundantly Instead... of Life?

    Satan knows in order for him to deceive the world he must first deceive the Christians ...and he's using the word of God to do it. How? By twisting the meaning of words so that it serves mankind and the kingdom of the devil, rather than God and His kingdom.

    Seeing Sanctification

    You are speaking falsehoods. I know the cross of Christ more than just reading about it. I know the grace of the Lord more than just claiming it by carnal beliefs. And nobody is saved finally until the end. It is very possible to draw back unto perdition. (that is also in the bible) So as you...
