You can't decide you are no longer subject to the law. This isn't a multiple choice salvation questionnaire. Of course the carnal man wants to be free of any laws...because he is lawless. Here is a thought by renowned preacher A.W. Tozer.... the first obligation of the Christian Church is not...

God looks at the heart. He decides where a person is at because He can truly see our condition. Those who think that God is blinded by a so called imputed righteousness of Christ really have no knowledge of God at all. He can help us BECAUSE He sees us so well. When God starts to fashion us...

Amen! Your heart is true! :) Haz you might be really good at computer games as the youth all seem to be. But you have no understanding whatsover of spiritual things. Instead of coming here to learn something you assume you are the champion like in a video game where you are trying to outscore...

LOL. I'm sorry if I cannot support the Cosmic Candy Man theory that is preached today. The truth is far more glorious...although far more difficult. Did Jesus say...Come on folks...the narrow way is easy and anyone can do it???? The problem lies with the shallowness and temporal thinking of...

Not by effort at all...it is by location...and relationship to God. It is those who deny the power of grace that overcomes sin that are trying to be good on their own. You must be imagining snakes. I am using actual biblical language to describe what you are doing. You are building with...

Repentance from dead works and a full surrender of our lives together with a faith towards God that He will intervene. When we do this with ALL our heart....He acts from heaven and the power comes down. Lightning needs something to ground it...once that ground is found the power is unleashed...

You are missing it here...God is ONE not a plurality. In that oneness is the Godhead that we call the Trinity. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Peter was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He was bound to offend one group or the other. The real problem was not so much with Peter but the immaturity of either group. Why didn't the Jews eat with Gentiles? Should Peter have ignored the Jews? Paul was thinking of the Gentiles to whom he...

The Jews did not meet in different churches from the Gentiles. I think you may be influenced by the Messianic movement of today, and denominationalism in general. There was no such division in the time of the apostles. The book of James is for all Christians as there is no division between Jew...

Amen! We cannot make a pat system of forgiveness that excludes a broken humility and reverence for God. The modern gospel shuts God out...taking what they need from Him. But God has a holy standard to uphold. If sin were seen as normal then there would be no need for rebuke! The standard of God...

The church met at her/his house in any regard. This is before the paganized version of Christianity (which is much more popular with the masses) made it's debut.

Shouldn't something be actually experienced before "taking it out on the road"? Most evangelism should be done without words...by showing tan example of a new life in Christ lived out in the community of the saints.

The word Elohim is masculine plural ...same as water which is actually waters (mayim) and mercies (rachamim).

The Greek word Episkope means visitation..as in "they did not know the hour of their visitation." All authority from God is based on such visitation. The Hebrew is Pekoudah. Is it so strange that God would oversee His people?

Paul was writing to the people of his time for very specific reasons. We have a window, through the epistles, as to what was going on at the time...but without truly understanding the context in which the authors spoke. Rather than cultural...I would say contextual. Having said that....there is...

Christianity was never meant as a religion of personal salvation. How could we learn to lay down our lives for the brethren? How could we be knit together in love and perfect unity? So when we are born from above we are to seek to enter into the fellowship of the Spirit with others who are from...

2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

You twist what we say the way you twist the bible to your purposes. We are saying that the bible teaches that Christ overcomes sin. If we abide in Him then we become overcomers. The way in is by faith. It is all there plain and simple in your bible.

God can declare any man righteousn as He ses fit. The problem is when men read the bible...compare themselves favourably to those whom they read about...then declare themselves righteous! That is the essence of self-righteousness! The Pharisees did exactly the same thing. The reasoning...

Living in the community according to the Spirit will take care of most of those in a very short time. Body life replaces the individualistic pursuits that stain the church.
