    Does God have Free Will?

    Whatever God decides IS good. There is no good above God and His will. There is no Christian morality.

    Dead Faith???

    Keeping His works till the end is the requirement of the saint. No one gets a reward for stopping the process of sanctification.

    The "In Christ" Doctrine

    There's what God does...and then is our response. Kind of like an Asdic ping trying to locate a submarine. The response is a ping in return. So we return God's love...IF we are responding. We are meant to grow into the likeness of Christ in character. THAT is salvation...to be as Jesus in...

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    Actually, it matters what God thinks. Have you considered God in your equation?

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    I, personally, have never had an abortion, nor been the victim of one. The fact is that abortions happen. What are we to do with those who do abortions or have them? How can we stop sin from happening in the world?

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    Who is the final arbiter of what we happen to agree with? Does it matter what we think? Or is God the One in control....so that we can let Him judge when the time is appropriate? Our focus should never be on how saved we are....or not. We are to seek the Lord. Salvation is in Him at any...

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    As someone who waits on the Lord and has no confidence in the flesh or the modern teachings that please the flesh.

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    Actually it's 10 cubits square ...which makes 15 feet square (the holy of holies). The temple in Jerusalem doubled the size...but the importance is that it is a cube just like the New Jerusalem.

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    What is interesting here is the "cube" dimensions. Just like the holy of holies is 15 cubits square....the New Jerusalem is 15 hundred miles square. That's "cube" bits... :)

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    I think that many begin by trying to make a difference....but the way a child would interfere with open heart surgery. As they say...the road to hell is paved with good intentions. What is unknown of many of today's ministers is often greater than what they think they are teaching.

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    That's the flesh...but there is truth. It's just the reasoning of a person who is being corrected to accuse the other. So then is everybody experiencing victory in Christ?....a walk in supernatural peace and love? A walk in the intimacy of union with God? If not, then there is a counterfeit...

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    I see the counterfeit solution as worse than the problem it is claiming to fix. Jesus was far more angry with the religious establishment than the blatant sinners of His day. The same thing is happening today. The religious establishment has taken on an easy version of Christianity with a...

    The "In Christ" Doctrine

    Salvation is a daily enterprise. We need to be saved every day from the influence of the world, from evil, from temptations. We look to Christ to deliver us moment by moment. What you are talking about is this modern church idea of a saved status. That's not salvation...that's an immunity from...

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    What I normally see is partisan argumentation for one thing or the other when really they are taking something that is true to an extent but taking it too far so that it cancels out something else that's also true. Like grace but at the expense of the teachings of Jesus Christ. So then trying to...

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    The whole modern concept of the church has proven to be a failure. It is no way resembles the biblical model of the church. Things are just going to get worse.

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    I would not bring a new convert into a modern church setting...because of fear that they would become worse than they were before. No, it's the church that needs to hear the gospel and the power over sin. Such is the state of affairs.

    Does God have Free Will?

    That's a false presumption to how things work as well as my intentions.
  18. Episkopos

    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    People are looking to other people...for acceptance, salaries, direction....etc. But few indeed are seeking the Lord. Why? Because to seek the Lord one must forsake seeking things from other people.

    Does God have Free Will?

    I assume you aren't aware of what you're talking about a lot of the time....truth be told. Perfection is not a jail. Love is not a jail. Only a sinful person would think that....a person who loves sin and imperfection. Your thread then is more about nature than freedom.
