Good stuff my friend. KJV John 3:5-8 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said...

My wife and I haven't smoked for 20 years or so. When we come outside of a mall or supermarket, where there may be just one person smoking 20 yards away, we both instantly recoil in disgust. Not disgust of the person, but the smell. It just seems so foul, I'm embarrassed that way back I use to...

More so today than at any other time in human history, we need the Sabbath, that appointment whereby we come and meet with the Lord of the Sabbath to rest, and be refreshed.

Simon, one of the 12, was not Hebrew. See Matthew 10:4.

That's the self deception @CadyandZoe was talking about. My Catholic upbringing had a lot to do with that. I remember well that when I left the Catholic faith in favor of the local Assembly of God, the first few months I was constantly having to exercise faith in God's leading, denying the...

Totally agree. Which actually leads to another question however... Is our justification equivalent to being saved in the end? In other words, is our sanctification necessary, essential, to our final saved position?

After 10 or more years as a backslidden pentecostal Christian, my marriage in danger of imploding, my children already in that process, I came to Jesus to do with me what you describe... What you were naturally ignorant of seeking light, I did what our good friend @amadeus recommends so often...

Indeed. Sanctification cannot be accomplished without Christ's intercession and priestly role. "Without Me ye can do nothing".

Coveting is the same as lust. You don't need to act on it in order to be found guilty before a holy God. Why do you obey those Commandments?

How do you think sanctification works? You may be justified, that is declared righteous. What about your actual character? You think that's good enough for the company of angels and God Himself?

I'm not talking about language. I'm talking about carnal motives and selfishness. Don't ignore the rest of the post.

You asked @Phoneman777 the same question. I'm curious. Why do you think it so difficult to obey, that you should be so relieved you are no longer obliged to do so ( wrongly I believe).

So how do our prayers ascend to the throne room without first being translated into the will of the Father if Christ is not interceding on our behalf? Is He not our High Priest? Think about the OT sanctuary, a type and prophetic picture of the gospel. A. The sacrifice takes place in the...

“From eternity there was a complete unity between the Father and the Son. They were two, yet little short of being identical; two in individuality, yet one in spirit, and heart, and character.” There is a difference between the Father and the Son. They are not exactly the same. One difference...

Amen. I remember 25 years ago now, kneeling before God and pleading and crying for mercy, after 20 years of confusion and struggle with ups and downs in faith and practise, not knowing what was truth and what wasn't, imploring God to start again with me. To treat me as ignorant and void of all...

Always, Jesus was absolutely a different personality than His Father, so I would presume, particularly as a man, He worshipped His Father while on earth as a man. The pre-incarnation Christ however, well, we don't know how that relationship worked do we. Still different personalities, but the...

I appreciate it also, age catches up with us all. I just haven't got into the habit of using it myself yet.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 The words of John 1:1 are probably the most debated in Scripture. Volumes have been written attempting to explain them. Most of the discussions concern what John meant by the phrase “and the Word was God”...

Self discipline sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. When it does, we take the glory for our own accomplishments. Leads to pride. Let God take away all our addictions, bad habits, and love for the world and things thereof. Let self discipline indeed be operative in the life, but toward Bible...
