    A living Sacrifice

    The Christian life is backwards. Well, actually this world has been reversed from it's original polarity. It has gone from the service of God and good ...to the serving of mankind and wickedness. Jesus said...if we seek to save our lives we will lose them...but if we forsake our lives for...

    Will the Anti-Christ come from Canada?

    As you are no doubt aware the devils of New Jersey have been cast aside to make room for Saint Louis in the finals. Have you considered that the two sticks mentioned in Ezekiel... Ez 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of...

    Yours truly! :) Who are you on the other site?

    Will the Anti-Christ come from Canada?

    Now we're getting somewhere. ;) Dan 11:13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches. Now everybody knows that Wayne Gretzky is Canadian and that he played...

    Legalism

    An opinion...and a poor one at that. No grace there. No kindness. No love. No truth.

    A living Sacrifice

    As long as we live with selfish motives we will never understand the gospel nor the ways of God. God is selfless and only properly understood through the same kind of selflessness. Otherwise we tend to get things exactly backwards. Now a man who doesn't stand up to, say, a bear attacking his...

    Faith to faith

    Of course we have a righteousness of our own...what are you talking about? Of course we have a life of our own. These are meant to be submitted to Him. They are OUR capacity for good or evil or to do things in general. They are indeed ours to do with as we please. We are not robots after all...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    The bible is often abused and misused by bad motives. It is used to re-enforce that which the bible testifies against.But then the bible doesn't claim to be the truth...it proclaims Jesus as the living Truth. The bible isn't God...but it speaks about God and from God. The bible has no...

    Faith to faith

    From our faith to His faith....from our life to His life. From our righteousness to His righteousness... I could go on... :)

    Perfection In Christ

    I would not have lasted long in a time where orthodoxy to a man-made doctrine was enforced by legal authority. But the persecution of today is to be evil spoken of, mis-understood, misrepresented and shunned. But these same people also put Jesus to death. I am in good company...as all who live...

    Legalism

    More opinion...a more ignorance of God and the bible. You accuse others of not regarding the bible...but you are the worst offender. Still you will not stop with your legalistic ways.

    Perfection In Christ

    But the pride and indoctrination are so great in the churches of today that unless you pander to the fantasy that every single spoiled believer will one day rule with Christ....there is a hizzy fit to contend with. Where's the humility if there is so much grace? There is a huge surprise coming...

    Perfection In Christ

    You have have Jesus having no need of faith. That is not who Jesus was and is. In all ways Jesus was tempted as we are. yet He was without sin. It doesn't say that He was without temptation. So with every temptation there is a need to overcome. And with that a risk of succumbing to that...

    Perfection In Christ

    OK now we're onto something here. That is true...that until we enter into Him fully...we will experience these flashes of light...these eternal moments. The same goes for the moment we are born of the Spirit. For some it is but a moment of perfection. But for others longer. For me it was days...

    Perfection In Christ

    You see...you are not getting who Jesus is...He could have sinned. He was and is 100% human. You are thinking He was half and half. But then you are making Him into a superman...rather than see that He came to us so we could be exactly as He is. As He is so are we in this world. So you are...

    Perfection In Christ

    Luke 2:52 And Jesus continued to advance in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Jesus was not born an adult. He began as a baby...advanced through childhood...and became a mature adult. Your thought about blasphemy shows that you don't really believe that Jesus was fully...

    Drawing the wrong conclusions

    I may have been certain sermon topics that were safe to say without too many questions at the end. Just a guess...

    Perfection In Christ

    Heb. 7:19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. We tend to see the law as something evil. But the law is holy. Do we hate what is holy? The problem with the law and knowing the law is that it makes...

    Perfection In Christ

    From faith to faith. Blessed is he that believes and has not seen. But also "blessed is he that is not offended in Me." It isn't wise to pit what is good against what is perfect. Humility tells us that God's will is what is important not the ruffled pride of they who are not the center of...

    Perfection In Christ

    This is not about people but about Jesus Christ. It is too human to focus on other people or ourselves. That's what keeps us bound up in this world. A living faith leaps into His presence. But we need His help even in this. To walk without seeing (which is by our faith) is still a good thing...
