16When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses...

The gospel is according to power not words. So how does one know they have the right formula for gunpowder? An explosion? When we understand the bible correctly something happens in the Spirit. We receive something from God. The gospel is according to power not words. So how does one know...

Oh well!

Greetings Canuck! :) Stay awhile! Post some of your ponderings!

Yes...this attitude of repentance is a righteous stance on our failure as God's children. But when we receive Christ's life we know we are forgiven. Then the joy fills our hearts. We then walk in that joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength.:)

This is brilliant! :)

Greetings Gregg! God bless you brother! <><

While many people feel that God is indifferent to the sufferings we inflict on each other and on ourselves....the sheer patience of God and His continued blessings towards the ungrateful is empirical proof of the goodness of God. Then we have the selfless sacrifice of Christ who dies to save...

I'm sorry but to me it sounds like you are looking for a restaurant that has good hamburgers AND good fries. We live in a consumer society. Even God has become a commodity these days in our market driven economies. Solution: YOU be the one who worships and abides in the truth. Seek out others...

LOL :lol: How is this become an apologetic for the sunday morning service!??? Actually the 2 trumpets are the 2 testaments...the 2 tablets of the commandments....the 2 main laws to love God and others. But an interesting spin nonetheless!

What about duty to the One who redeemed us? If we behave like any other man...what does that say about our lives? Let the world look after the world. The world is not concerned with the things of the kingdom...and those of us who are cannot get entangled in temporal things to any degree! PS...

The victory over sin is not figurative. It is an experience of one whose flesh nature has been rendered inoperative through the removing of it's power through an experience of the cross. Victory over sin is NOW. Those who experience this death can experience the resurrection life of Christ...

Thanks for your response. I must again draw a distiction here about the sin nature and the flesh itself. These are not the same. The carnal mind is the mind that NEVER KNEW God. The carnal mind is alien to God. So how could Jesus fight the carnal nature within Himself? The fact is that Jesus...

2 Cor. 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. God's sacrifice was perfect...no blemish. God's own righteousness cannot abide with anything less than holy. So we are made pure through the blood of Christ. We then can be...

A Christian is one who esteems others higher than himself/herself Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. A Christian is taught not only directly through the Spirit but also through the other members of...

An interesting point! Yet Jesus "risked" all in abandoning His former high station only to receive the authority back again that He had previously laid down. Albeit now as the first born of a new creation that opens the possibility of bringing many sons to glory!. It depends on one's viewpoint...

A friend of mine related something that happened to him one day while hiking with 2 other men. They became lost. One had a map and the other had a compass. They could not agree on where they were or what direction to take. So my friend suggested that they combine their efforts so as to work...

The last or least in our order of society will become the ones ruling in the next age. And many are called on to run the race, but there are few winners! Could you have meant "selflessness" ?

Jesus spoke Aramaic. There is an Aramaic portion in the book of Daniel that calls the coming of the Messiah...And one like a son of man came with the clouds....! Daniel 7:13-1413 חזה הוית בחזוי ליליא וארו עם־ענני שׁמיא כבר אנשׁ אתה הוה ועד־עתיק יומיא מטה וקדמוהי הקרבוהי׃ 14 ולה יהיב שׁלטן ויקר...

Good topic Dean! While I certainly sympathize with the doctor, one must ask...how wise was he being a doctor to use his position to express his beliefs to someone who saw him as harassing him? We, as Christians do not have the right to not be persecuted for what we say. The good doctor is in...
