I just know from honest observation of my own self as well as other born again believers that we all offend in many ways. I've never met a perfectly perfect Christian in my entire life. An Advocate advocates on behalf of the ones he is advocating for, that's what He does. And Jesus ever...

Here in a separate post, (because it’s so long), I’ll try to show a consistent theme that I see in the book of Hebrews, that of exhorting and encouraging and strengthening the Jewish brethren to stay in the race and not fall back or fall away, because apparently some were, and to me it comes...

I see some truth on both sides of the OSAS debate...both sides make some excellent points if only each side would acknowledge that now and again, we might eventually be able to reconcile some of what appear to be contradictions but are not really. I have read Acts 28 and see Paul under house...

"If we keep on sinning willfully after that we have received knowledge of the truth....." This is quite plainly exhorting those who have received knowledge of the truth (ie, believers), to not deliberately and knowingly commit sins that they know they shouldn't. It's talking about sinning...

May I just say this, that in terms of the "once saved, always saved" concept, I wonder if we need to consider that some scriptures are written from heaven's perspective and others are written giving an earthly human perspective. For example, we know that from our earthly point of view Jesus was...

Looking at the context, it is talking to believers (Jewish believers, yes) in context of provoking and exhorting each another to good works (as opposed to sinful). Unbelievers have not received knowledge of the truth. Heb 10:22-27 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith...

I'm no theology expert but I'll answer as best as I can. I believe if we keep on willfully sinning we may be in danger of being cut off from Christ, as that scripture says there would remain no more sacrifice for sins in those circumstances. But even then I believe the Lord is the one to judge...

I think the weak and beggardly had to do with the ordinances of worship, which have been done away with, rather than the moral/ethical laws (which are God's standard of righteousness as long as we serve in the new way of the Spirit not the letter). But brother, you make such a good point about...

The Law was/is weak through the flesh and carnal mind. By the Law is the "knowledge" (consciousness) of sin. Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (which Tree the Lord pronounced to be "good" along with all of His creation, but not "perfect"...scripture saying "we know that the Law is good when...

Order of Melchizedek simply implies a SPIRITUAL/HEAVENLY eternal order, NOT EARTHLY and temporal. Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda (not Levi/Aaron); of which tribe Moses...

The city that is ABOVE is our mother. Gal. 4:26 Not any church or city here below, and definitely not the Catholic church.

The city on a hill is heavenly Zion, not Rome and not Jerusalem......who are born again are "born in Zion", and like Abraham seeking the city that is ABOVE. And you can't understand heavenly things until you are born from above and have the spirit of God dwelling in you. You need to come to...

Yes.....Jesus is high priest over the priesthood of all believers.

Jesus has appointed and given many spiritual gifts, starting with the greater gifts of apostles, evangelists, pastors, teachers etc. We are to acknowledge and be subject to the leadership of those with the leadership gifts, yes. In simplicity...not with officiousness like in a corporation or...

Christ and His church are one, yes, but to start with the Catholic church is not His church. Neither is the Episcopalian church or the Anglican church or any church, but those who believe and know the Lord and have His spirit are the church. Not walls or organizations or buildings, but the...

Scripture says we're redeemed OUT OF the nations, and FROM the world. So the unbelieving nations and world are not redeemed. Redemption is through faith in Jesus. Redemption in the bible is only ever applied to "His people", His chosen. Someone who has no testimony of Jesus can't be a...

I can't keep up with everything...not able to address or even read every point you make. Just want to say here that the true church is not a visible tangible organization or institution, or buildings, it is in spirit. Jesus said, "Wherever two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in...

Sorry, but this is very deceptive theefaith. It places the church on an equal footing as Christ Jesus Himself......this is why the Catholic church is the god and idol of many captive souls. You need the Holy Spirit to reveal the scriptures to you as God intended because only the Spirit of God...

Funny, that's what I have been wanting to ask you. Do YOU have a testimony of having met and received Christ as your Saviour? Please do share it, I would love to hear how He revealed the gospel to you and changed your life.

Yes, the church has fallen into the trap of believing that gain is godliness...and in so doing this marginalizes and shames the poor, when in fact the gospel is good news to the poor! James 2:5 "Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith....?" Amen, there is a false love being...
