    Is it right to imagine god?

    Some say that God looks like a Black woman!!!?

    I need a distance learning bible college that is extremely affordable and accredited!

    Jesus doesn't hire proffesionals. It is men who hire proffesionals. Maybe you'd have a better chance by taking up fishing? ;)

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    I agree that sanctification is a process...part of the process of our salvation from this world and this life. But consider this...when we are forgiven in Christ through His word...we are cleansed from all unrighteousness 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us...

    The Power of God:

    You are describing the sunday morning shuffle. Paul says it is like forgetting what you look like in the mirror. The mirror is supposed to reflect Christ. So will you judge the bible by your behaviour and that of the people around you...or will you believe the testimony from the bible?

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    Many think the flesh nature is too strong for God. They will never say it but instead hide the fact that they believe Adam has triumphed over Christ.They say that there is no way on earth for Christ to defeat Adam....not even by His death and resurrection. Faith in sin seems boundless...faith in...

    The TWO NEW Covenants -mjs

    This is the conundrum we face in the church. We see many well meaning people "getting involved." But unless the Lord builds the house they labour in vain... I'm not questioning the intentions of either you or the authors of the materials you post. I question it's truthfulness....actually I am...

    Are we supposed to turn the world upside down or the word upside down? :wacko:

    You are quite the hasty one. I don't remember having more than one or two small responses with you. Have you possibly changed your username?

    The Other Gospel...

    An interesting take! The "another gospel" is the gospel that presents itself but without the actual power of the resurrection...the keeping power of Christ that makes us overcome in this life. It is the false gospel of men remaining in sin but claiming salvation. Thus saith the LORD; Cursed...

    Judgment

    He who is spiritual in Christ is able to compare the new life in the truth with the former life of sin. He is not judged by men since they cannot comprehend the power that leads him and keeps him. They are in darkness but he is in the light. So the man of God can judge all things and can be...

    The Power of God:

    We are not cleansed from being pure....but dirty. How many people put clean clothes in the washer? Do the clothes come out dirty or clean from the washer? So we have been cleansed through Christ and need not dirty ourselves again because we remain in He who cleansed us...without spot or...

    The Power of God:

    You have to think it out. If a man leaves Christ then he can sin and will sin. Can a man rob a bank if he is in jail? But if you let him out can he then rob the jail? Think about it.

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. We have died to the Adamic life and been given a new life. If we let go our old lives we put on Christ. When we do this we are exactly like Him...holy and perfect. But we are yet unwise and have no precedence for trusting God in ALL things. The process of...

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    God is not more blind than men to sin. It must be remembered that God is holy...and that His ways are holy. So He is MORE sensitive to sin issues than we are. But Jesus said we are to be as holy as God. He commands us to be. And then He empowers us to be. So to refure this is to refute Christ...

    Are Back-Sliders Still Christians ?

    Well said. We are our brother's keepers and should seek out the brother in trouble to restore him to the fellowship. Sometimes this takes a lot of time. But we should never give up. I just recently had a brother (friend) who drifted from the Lord for 20 years....He called me this Christmas to...

    The TWO NEW Covenants -mjs

    Fair enough Net Chaplain. But this does not change the fact that this material leads people astray. But I have stated my objection and will desist from further comment.

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    Human capacity? Jesus died so we could do our best? The Pharisees operated in a human capacity. Men can only follow morality. You are barking up the wrong tree...the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 1Pe_4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner...

    Can A Person Be a Christian And A Sinner At The Same Time ?

    The early church had Christ as their standard and Lord. Today there is no standard...just a human standard that is hypocritical. It says that you cannot stop sinning...but you should try to not make it look too bad...hide your sins etc...Basically hypocrisy! And the people love to have it so...

    The Power of God:

    We no longer need a tutor if we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. Since a man cannot sin in Christ there is no need to tell him to not sin. Only those who walk in the power of the flesh need to be reminded of the law...which they cannot keep perfectly anyway. How does your sin make...
