There are a lot of human beliefs taught by men. But the faith OF Jesus Christ is rare. The kind of faith it takes to do the impossible things. The kind of faith it takes to please God...to walk as Jesus walked. Human understanding has taken over in our time...so that true faith has been...

There are the dueling verses everywhere if one reads honestly. The truth is held up as a dialectic...whereby there is a polarity to the truth. That is so because as human beings we must deal with both the temporal AND the eternal. The good AND the evil. The blessings AND the cursings. So the...

Interesting! Nice analogy. Of course she is going to use an example from the technology of her time! ;) I like using aviation technology. :) I think we have a common understand...Teresa (of Avila) and I. She also experienced that heart cutting from God. She said she saw an angel with a spear...

Amen! That is my desire as well. And for all who call on Him. :)

"By early Tuesday, the clip had amassed more than 2 million views across Twitter and YouTube, with critics slamming the business’s owners as “hateful racists” and calling for the venue to be shuttered. Following the backlash, Boone’s Camp Event Hall took down its Facebook page and its owner...

God is bigger than what any one person or group can perceive. And He does work in mysterious ways. His ways are higher than our own. All who fear Him and do what is right are acceptable to Him. Acts 10:34 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter...

Hey Nancy! Missed you today on the chat....:) What does holiness look like? When Paul came to a city the people remarked at how weak he was...having no natural power to him...so then holiness is to rely on God's strength alone...as in...no longer I who live. 2 Cor. 10:10 For his letters, say...

Luke 9:58 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. What does this mean? Does it mean that Jesus had nowhere to sleep? That He lacked a pillow? Or is this about a place of rest in holiness on the earth...

Gal. 6:8 For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Now this concerns they who have the option to sow to one or the other. No one can sow to the Spirit if they are not in the Spirit...or at least...

When we partake of His holiness we do the works OF Jesus Christ. If we are allowing the Lord to do His works through us there is a great reward...not just salvation. The righteous are scarcely saved...but the saints (holy) are abundantly saved. Rev.2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast...

Gen. 2:17 “in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.” God told Adam that if he ate from the forbidden tree that he would die. The Devil said that wasn't true questioning God's authority over His own creation. Thus the first half-truth was spoken in the world. Adam didn't die from...

For sure! :)

This thread is indeed based on God's perspective...it is something that most never consider...so it won't be understood by many. God's perspective is in holiness. That is something that we can't relate to unless we have experienced it. But even if we haven't yet experienced His holiness...if we...

You are confusing the issue here by mixing up 2 things that are not directly related. The peaceable fruit of righteousness comes from HIS correction...not His holiness. Holiness is already perfect. But you are not going to understand this...you will disagree because you are not really...

So we see the great error in thinking that we can grow into holiness...as if we were to build up our own holy status for ourselves...what people call "the process of sanctification." But there is no process of sanctification. We are either in HIS holiness or out of it. We can however grow while...

One cannot read the bible as just another book. There is a perspective that needs to be taken into account. God's perspective. That perspective is so often lacking in the private interpretations of bible readers...instead people tend to read the bible from their OWN perspective. But this...

How to convert believers into the faith. But most people wouldn't want to be converted...they want more privileges...not less of them.

A facade! I see this as the outer man stealing the grace and benefits that are meant for the inner man. Like the big gorilla stealing the food meant for the smaller monkeys! That's why we need the cross to do it's work on the outer man first before we can start looking at what kind of...

Yes...that is the iniquity I am speaking about so often. We can know ABOUT the truth without actually knowing the truth. That is to be concerned with the holy things, the things of Jesus Christ, but while we ourselves are being unrighteous in it...misapplying the things of God to benefit...

Agreed! Being spiritual is to see God in everything. Being religious is about putting up a facade because there is no ability to see God in anything that doesn't have a religious label. The bible says to sing to one another in spiritual songs. So then "Bridge over troubled waters" is a...
