    The Manifestating

    This is all so vague. Do you believe that in Christ is no sin...and that those who enter into Him do not sin...and cannot sin...as long as they remain IN Him? Or do you think, as the modern doctrine goes, that we will always sin in these bodies as long as we are alive on earth...in spite of...

    What Does It Mean to be Dead in Christ?

    When a person enters into Christ...or should I say...AS a person enters into Christ...they die. The part of us that was in control of opinions and ways of thinking...is crucified...in order to make room for the life and Headship of Christ in the person. So we could say... I am dead in...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    Amen. Obedience is required in the ongoing process of salvation. We are BEING saved...working out our salvation. Of course there is a past, present and future tense to salvation...since it is a ONGOING work of both God...AND us (by co-operation and willingness and obedience). Likewise there is a...

    What is your interpretation of the word "require?" Is this not a word with a meaning that all can understand....or do you speak vaguely so that people can interpret what they wish? Why even write anything?

    You freely stated that you were required to believe what you do...for promised benefits. Rejoicing is a whole other thing.

    God's Righteousness Through Faith

    Amen...Judaism has been made obsolete. There is no need to become a Jew in order to be a Christian. We are not to be under the law...but under grace.

    The Don Quixote Syndrome

    2 Tim. 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Must we lose our ability to reason in order to follow Christ? Now many would say yes...thinking that ALL reasoning comes from the carnal mind. But this isn't so. There is a carnal...

    The Don Quixote Syndrome

    Greetings to all, I remember speaking with a man who was afraid to become a Christian because he didn't want to lose his ability to reason. I thought it was interesting that he thought that way...as he saw that Christians were no longer able to think rationally. And he did have a point. At...

    Do you realize that this is from an understanding that salvation is by doctrinal beliefs...which isn't biblical at all? God is not looking for adherence to a certain set of beliefs. That's religion. God is NOT religious. Neither should we be. It's actually a snare and trap we can fall...

    A Most Neglected Letter

    Actually it might bring humility...something that is VERY valuable to God....and very wise for us to take hold of. Have you been taught that humility is something to be avoided? Jesus didn't come to sow confusion with His letter to the Laodiceans...but to save them (and us) from the...

    A Most Neglected Letter

    Why is this of more value than... Rev. 3:17 "And you do not realize that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked." Why is it so important to choose what sounds better to you? Didn't Jesus also say of us that we are blind and naked? Why do you choose to ignore the words...

    You are saying that you are mentioned in the bible? Now it does say that the greatest of these is charity. But you shouldn't confuse a biblical name with your username. It is easy to claim to be everything that sounds good and positive in the bible (of course while ignoring everything that...

    A Most Neglected Letter

    I think that most people would agree that Jesus has the right to judge the church....and because of His love for us, also to warn us how to avoid an unfavourable judgment. Now the bible records these warnings of Jesus and the apostles. Writing out these warnings for others to consider would be...

    You have a God-given mandate to derail a thread? Only in your own mind you do. Your premise is itself the greatest logical fallacy. You have given yourself your own mandate. Have you heard of Don Quixote?

    All are under sin:

    "I was asked by someone “would God ask us to do what we couldn’t do?“ Your answer would be..yes!... He would ask us to do something like be perfect and overcome sin all by ourselves WITHOUT giving us the power to do it. (you don't believe that God can empower us in these human bodies). Or you...

    A Most Neglected Letter

    We live in a time where correction is seen as offensive. Imagine a direct rebuke? Unthinkable. But the point is to get people to see the argument. If a person is unwilling to hear the argument then we move on. Sometimes it is necessary to answer a remark...and sometimes not. But always to...

    Putting on of the new self

    We need to be honest about our level of walk. Are we walking in resurrection power and life....a supernatural gifting that works miracles everywhere we go? THAT is the power that revolutionized the world at the time of the early church. The ministers of THAT grace were raising the dead, healing...
