forgiveness

Means both "letter" and "formal letter" in Koine Greek. While today one can look up the word "epistle" in a modern dictionary and find that it refers to a formal letter of special importance, in the First Century world of Paul and other authors of the New Testament, the Greek "epistole"...

Hi there, So I get that "turning the other cheek" is scripture. But there's nothing in scripture that says you can't ask for turning the other cheek to end. Revelation says the anti-christ goes into perdition, meaning the whole world will be tempted to just keep sinning - as Jesus said "he that...

Hi there, I know I need the Holy Spirit. Let me make that clear. What I am writing about, is that I think allowing the Holy Spirit to work, takes more than a mental acknowledgement that there is sin, righteousness and judgment. The flesh is what concerns me now. Jesus said the times He was in...

Hi there, So I had a simple thought: how hard will it be, for Jesus to return to being without sin? The concept is, becoming sin went in one direction - toward God - whereas returning to being without sin, goes beyond God. Jesus does not want us to stay where we are; one day we will have to...

Excellent 'link' = What Is Grace? (Two Minutes With The Bible) Precious friends, the following is just a small portion of God's Wonderful Grace Doctrine: A) Generally, across all of God's Dispensations, we find: God's "Unmerited Favor" Upon All mankind, both the just and also the unjust...

Hi there, So I will keep it brief, so as not to weary you: my family went through a very trying time, all sorts of things, financially also and I began to rebel against the faith. I didn't know how to keep myself clean and fed my soul with anti-Christian music. It reached the point where I...

Hi there, So there is a simple proverb which comes to me every so often, which is this: What does this mean? It means everything we do from beginning to end, has to be weighed, set apart and valued. Everything we have done has been recorded in a book (see Revelation), so it is entirely possible...

God just blessed America in a big way! Praise God! Change is coming and we will start moving in the right direction. But what will we do with all these illegal aliens? Many of them are children who have nothing and need help. It's not their fault. Certainly Trump cannot deport 5k/day for four...

Reader... All the born again are "made free from sin", as obviously PAUL the Apostle is not talking to the Muslims or the Scientologists or the Gnostics. This one concept... "made free from sin", always gets spun and twisted into a theological misunderstanding... because most believers hear...

Hi there, So to be frank, I had pre-marital sex and developed a sexual dysfunction (constant desire). My relationship with the person in question, is nowhere. I now don't trust myself and feel very weak about things I should be strong about (the importance of a healthy relationship, God having...

Hi there, So this is just a simple thought: we are safe in Heaven. The Bible says that the anti-christ will blaspheme those who dwell in Heaven, and its easy to think he knows what he is doing: but he doesn't. The anti-christ does not know what is in Heaven. So if you are in Heaven, you just...

- A lot of believers are missing the blessing imparted by the Act of taking Communion, regularly. So, lets get you out of that, so that you can enjoy this Blessing from Christ. Reader.. The core and central reason for 45,000 Denominations worldwide and at least 200 in the USA...... and none...

Hi there, So after being on drugs and nearly losing my mind, I came back like the prodigal son. In the process, I noticed something about the Devil, that you can't usually tell: I realised that the Devil wasn't ready to let me go, because in his heart, he thought himself to be special. The...

Bullying, such a disgusting word. Even worse such a sickening action. I speak from experience. I've been bullied almost my whole life. From relatives, classmates, to even my neighbors. You would think the bully would grow up after high school but no, a lot of them are overgrown children in...

Hi there, EDIT: I sort of wanted this to be about praise to the body of Christ for not sinning, but it ended up being more about the Holy Spirit - such is the Spirit! So you might not understand this, if you haven't been convicted of sin, over a long period of time: but there are psychological...

Hi there, So I have been wrestling with Evolution some time now, and it has finally spilled out into theology. The reason theology has become involved, is that I have begun to distinguish between the Law and the Spirit. Evolution takes advantage of the Law, making out obedience to be slavery...

Hi there, So something that has helped me tremendously in my walk with Christ, has been identifying where I need to do an about face. An about face is where you acknowledge that you have been heading in the wrong direction (down the wide road to destruction), and you hold still and turn around...

Bible Contrasts: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) To be cont'd in 11)...

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Eph. 3:8-9 I was taught that Grace was God's "unmerited favor" towards mankind. But it is much more than that! Grace is the core theme of the New...

It is all about the forgiveness of sins. The forgiveness of sins is the main pillar of our Christian faith. Without it there is no relationship with God. The moment of the day we are renewed through the Lord's Prayer, God pours out His blessings! It is very clear throughout the scripture that...
