    The Gospel of Grace:

    The new thread is called... "The mission to the Lost" Some people (and I was once among them) concentrate on reaching the lost outside of the church. But now I concentrate on reaching the lost within th church. Really the church is not much different from the world..since the false gospel has...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    This thread is about a false gospel being peddled under the name "the gospel of grace". Do you believe everything you read???? If we put a sign on a building that has the word "church" written on it....does that turn a building into a church???

    Brother Dave: I started a thread called... "The mission to the Lost" Please come over and share some of your own experiences...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    OK You have hyjacked this thread through an emotional mugging of the contributers here. Why not start a thread called "Brother Dave and his mission to the lost" ?? I could start it for you if you like. When a person needs to make any given subject about themselves then an intervention of some...

    The Problem with Dispensationalism

    Good points... Do you recognize that these small flocks of followers of CHrist in the Spirit are of Israel whether they were previously Jewish or not???

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Axehead...you are truly my brother!!! I especially like this... Sleeping virgins don't wake up other sleeping virgins. But these do seem to complain about anyone who would disturb their sleep through turning the lights on... Peace in Christ John

    Listening to what Jesus says about the church in our time.

    Were we not warned about the falling away before the end? Why does Jesus say He comes as a thief in the night??? Why this allusion? Well. for many in the church Jesus IS coming to take away...take away their false appreciation of reality. He is coming to burn up their works and take away their...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Sunday is also a day when marginal Christians open their hearts a tiny bit to hear something that may help them along the pathway to life. What I said is the truth. Does this offend you? I hope not! Taking up the cause of another can be both good and bad. It is wise to discern the difference...

    Listening to what Jesus says about the church in our time.

    Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. Where are the accusers of the truth of the gospel of Christ???? Why not accuse Jesus of preaching a works gospel? Why not reconsider that maybe we are wrong? Doesn't the word of Jesus carry more...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    You have it backwards of course. You are defending a grasp of the truth that has no fruit...no visible results in the world. You should rather invite people to examine your fruit...as a witness of the source of it. Many declare themselves righteous in Christ who are not yet in Christ. They...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Why should you care if others fall off a cliff as long as you are secure yourself, right? Are we our brother's keepers? Where is the love Dave??? If you don't want to. or else can't see the problem...why do YOU focus on these issues? What's it to you...go preach to harlots and let others do...

    A Spiritual Christian does not sin.

    People see the world the way they themselves are. Luk_11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luk_11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Hi HAz...you are sharing from a biblical wisdom....just like Nicodemus... Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Very good! Grace is a means of making men obedient to the will of God. Therefore grace is a means of salvation since there is only One eternal will in the universe...God's!
  15. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Exactly...but there is a faction here that use their "gospel of grace" to obfuscate the sayings of Jesus saying that they were only meant for physical Israel and were in a different "dispensation". Some of the criticisms of the sayings of Jesus is that they are.. -hard -no fun (takes the fun...

    Is Romans 7 a license to sin?

    So Romans 7 gives you immunity from prosecution for your sins???? Paul was telling the story or testimony of his battles BEFORE he was in Christ. This unfortunately lines up very well who many who claim that they can identify with Paul BEFORE his conversion. Very telling! Hey check out my...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    People are always looking for the easiest way...the way that is easiest for the flesh to emulate. Romans 8 is very misunderstood by most. We have some great exhortations that are missed...but stand as real markers to the standard of the risen in Christ. Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Do people realize that they are throwing out the words of Jesus Christ in order to follow what people here mean by "the gospel of grace"? This is a gnostic view of the bible that champions Paul but excludes the sayings of Jesus. Do the supporters of this heresy know this???

    faith and grace

    Greetings!!!!! :) The trouble with bible study is the pre-conception of the meaning of certain words together with a determination to stamp one's own understanding on the message. People tend to read the bible like a catalogue in order to pick out favourite verses that encourage them to remain...
