The word Jericho comes from two possible Hebrew words...one means "fragrance" and the other "the moon." Etymology From the noun ריח (reah), scent or fragrance. From the noun ירח (yareah), moon, in turn from the verb ארח ('arah), to wander or travel. We are travellers in this world...pilgrims...

The Old Testament gives us analogies and pictures of the spiritual process which is salvation in Christ Jesus. So then the New Testament is in the OT concealed....and the OT is in the NT revealed. That brings us to Jericho...the first city to be conquered by God's people upon entering into the...

Actually the book of Job shows us that God indeed takes things away...physical things...things we rely on so that we can cry out to Him in our need.

In my life God has destroyed, knocked down, burned up, pierced through, and crucified one part of me so that He could plant and build up another part of me. True story. All praises to God alone! :) \o/\o/\0/

Amen! More actual testimony...less opinions.

Let's speak on the validity of this succession of bishops. Now the Catholics claim they have an unbroken succession of said bishops. But the missing piece is the Lord and His say. The laying on of hands has become symbolic whereas before it contained miraculous power...to heal and raise the...

That's no way to speak to a lady. What ever happened to the "southern gentleman" approach...let alone a Christian brotherly approach? Certain posters here are just like trolls who bait and then attack. Passive aggressive types. We are not to accept just any treatment by just anyone. There are...

And yet pride is the substance that the flesh wishes for...the evidence of achievements yet unseen. So then pride is the hope of the flesh.

Such wisdom sister! :)

But people turn the words of Jesus upside down by stating that now they are born again they know very well where they are destined to go. Where is the honesty in todays' church? It can't be found.

To whom? To the one who lives in pride...or the the part of us that Jesus came to save? We tend to receive things as WE see them...from our present vantage point. So do you see that you are living through pride? To a proud person everyone appears proud. To a man in darkness all appears as dark...

Even the devil acknowledges that the bible is the written words from God. Or else he would not have used it in order to tempt Jesus. But that very fact you are somehow seeking to escape. You are trying to make your own points and opinions to be superior to any other consideration. I explained...

That's why the bible presents a crossroads. Which part of us is listening? God doesn't puff up the flesh...we have to take God's words for ourselves to do that. And of course there are many takers for this. But that isn't the whole story. Do you see that God also works with another part of...

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

How many people understand that the bible puts us at a crossroads...to become either a hypocrite or a saint? We can start out innocent before we come to the bible...unless of course we are they who indulge in sin wilfully. It seems most modern people...who don't believe in a full victory over...

For the very reason of me starting this thread...that many cannot perceive that the bible can be taken many different ways...by design...in order to trap men by revealing their true natures which brings them into a worse place by denial...(or after repentance of course into a better place by the...

Why not learn to be wise? Your own notions and opinions will just come back on you. To what purpose are you here on this thread? To add nonsense?

This is false. We who are of faith can continue to advance into the truth before judgment. We are not judged (yet). A believer can forsake pride and iniquity and continue to grow. As such our judgment would be more favourable. But they who are judged already are the wicked who resist the truth...

This is a good start. (Ok you're wrong about the bible giving life of course) But now you need to move beyond reading a book to an interactive walk with God by the Spirit. Look what the bible says... Deut. 5:24 And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness...

That's not the issue. The bible points to a living relationship with God...not just with a book. This is where the dishonesty lies. The bible even says....the letter kills but the Spirit gives life. So the dishonesty continues.
