osas

I was raised in the Southern Baptist Convention tradition. OSAS was emphasized greatly. My father recently told me that he likes to listen to feel-good sermons nowadays (à la Joel Osteen) because when he was young he heard so many sermons that seemed calculated to make him doubt his own...

- One more thing i love about the Bible is that the word of God will always show you things , and show you more......and more. The Bible, the word of God, talks to you by revealing to the spiritual "eyes of your understanding", more LIGHT.. God's Spirit that is in you, in union with your born...

- """"18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.""""" Saint, When you study the word, = words in the NT are very important to notice, as they define many things that you would not notice until you begin to really Spiritually DISCERN...

- Many believers do not enjoy their Christianity as they should because they have an idea of God, and how to deal with Him and how He deals with them, that is remarkably wrong. There are many born again Saints whose entire idea of fellowship with God is not friendship, is not a love...

- Jesus "set us free" from sinning with His Blood. Its DONE. How? He has resolved your sin issue, so that God does not see your flesh. Flesh is "the mind of the flesh" or ""walking in the flesh", or as Paul says, who shall deliver me from this "body of death"... All of this is the CARNAL...

- Once you begin to understand that our reconnection to God, that is our Salvation, is all of Him..... then you will SEE this.. When we are born again......God did that. When we became a new creation in Christ....... God did that. When all our sin was forgiven and never will it be remembered...

- PSALM 27. "the Lord is the strength of my life". And when we apply this concept to a born again person, .... Paul said that It was not he who lived any longer, but Christ lived in Him, through Him. This is how Paul described his new identity "in Christ". And you have the very same blood...

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth...Being born again (1Peter 1:22) Interesting verse. Notice it carefully......its says that your SOUL has been purified., by "obeying" the Truth. Lets break it down. "soul" here, is referring to the part of you, that is born again, as...

- We are to "Delight ourselves, in the Lord". So, what does it mean to delight yourself in the Lord? A way to understand "how", is like this.. Have you ever swam in a pool, or a lake, or a river, or an Ocean? Did you go underwater? If you did, then you were totally immersed. Total...

- Lets define "legalism" as defined by Paul, as Webster is not using the NT as context. "Legalism" is Galatians 1:8 ""there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have...

- Sometimes a believer finds that they are not happy/content/ or satisfied within their heart for a while. This didnt happen to them overnight, but rather it happened over time, gradually. One day they realized that they have not felt peace or contentment, or hope,.... in a while. So what...

- Deut 13:4 """"Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and be in reverent awe of Him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto Him."" This verse is a good one if you are looking for "God's will" for your life. 3 easy steps. 1. Obey 2. Serve 3...

- When you are trying to see a verse.....not read it...as you dont get the Light from reading it.... you have to see inside it, spiritually. = Verse are Spiritual Light. God is Light. His words are Light. If you are born again, reader, you are a child of the Light, and Jesus is the Light of...

- The reality is........The Blood of Christ has already cleansed our Sin.....all of it.....>Tomorrow's included. If you don't understand this, and you have been falsely taught that your sin till the Cross is forgiven, and you then get God to take care of the new ones, by repenting, ... = you...

- Ready to study? I want to show you how to rightly divide this verse. And as you see how i do it, it will help you to understand something about SEEING verses in the NT. That will happen as you follow what i do. 2nd Tim 1:10 """But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus...

- Well lets get this one right., as this is about as confused a topic located within Christianity, as has ever been caussed by misunderstanding and then twisting a few verses in the NT. Lets just get this topic dialed in and nailed down, so that at least the people here can know what you are...

Most of you are on this Thread and the 1st one..., and on this forum, and have no clue as to who is on this forum lying to you, misleading you, and will continue to do it. Mod or Member. You have not even realized that "Mod" does not mean they are not deceived. IT just means they have the...

Here is how God taught me to recognize the deceivers.... I asked God one afternoon, sitting on a porch swing, in the summer of 1991, that very question. I had for a while looked around and i noticed that there was a church on every corner, and none of them agreed with each other's "teaching"...

Reader.. if you will get this one thing i'm going to teach you...., if you can SEE THIS, and believe it,... it will revolutionize your faith and this will create you to be on the True path that pleases God, by walking in the Light which will allow you to rest in the peace of God that will...

- At some point all Christians are curious about a certain aspect of Christianity. "how does a person know if they are called into the ministry". So, let me first tell you, that if you are born again, you definitely are called into the ministry, as all believers are ministers of and for The...
