    The Law (Moses Law) is : NOT Made for Christians... #2

    Reader, When you try to connect Moses 613 Laws and 10 Commandments to God's "GIFT of Salvation"" who is JESUS on THE CROSS.....then you are literally denying God's "Gift of Salvation". The only connection that Moses 613 Laws and the 10 Commandments have to "Gods GIFT OF SAVATION", is that...

    When the Lord returns, He will show the world how to trust the Holy Spirit, be godly in the Holy Spirit and proceed with the Holy Spirit to God

    Hi there! So here is something interesting, how can we be ready to receive the Holy Spirit, from the perspective of the Return of the Lord? The Return of the Lord will herald many things, but most of all, it will herald a Revelation of how to relate to the Holy Spirit. We will learn, how to...

    God wants the innocent and the mature together - you can like being innocent, but at some point you have to want to be mature

    Hi there, Just another morsel of food for the newbies to focus on: its ok to like being innocent, but at some point, you have to want to be mature (selah) Paul in the letters talks about people being unable to eat solid food, because they are still babes in faith (Hebrew 5:13) Paul does not...

    Abraham Wasn’t Justified by Works, and Neither Are You

    What if everything you thought about earning God’s approval was upside down? What if trying to be “good enough” actually moved you further from the truth, not closer? That’s exactly what Romans 4:1–12 reveals. It doesn’t matter how religious you are, how many rituals you’ve done, or how morally...

    Not Contradictions but Rather Dispensations

    James: Justification by works Key Text: James 2:24 – "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." ✅ Context of James: Audience: “The twelve tribes scattered abroad” (James 1:1) — believing Jews. Concern: Not showing faith and justification by works—saying you...

    Seeing Salvation (again).

    Reader, When a person hears the "Gospel", as, "faith comes by hearing" ... then this faith is proof something happened in the heart of the Believer that God SEES... as "God sees the heart" And what is that, that God sees that has happened inside you? God sees your "repentance" ....that is of...

    Works for Salvation: Humility

    Jesus said that without the works of humility, one cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 18 [1] At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? [2] And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, [3]...

    As you THINK : So you are

    The word teaches us that as we think we are, so we are.... And that applies to the BELIEVER.. So, if a believer (thinks) = sees themselves as a "saved sinner", instead of as a "made righteous" "Heir of God".. "having eternal life", and "seated in heavenly places"....... If the BELIEVER sees...

    The Devil makes himself an angel of light, he also gives false emotion and erroneous instruction (on guard?)

    Hi there, So yes, just to give you a little strength for your armory: the Devil not only has masqueraded as an angel of light (letters, from memory), but is able to create false emotion and erroneous instruction. That means we need to know our Bible, but also how our Bible is shared amongst us...

    Without faith you can't please God - but with inspiration you can please God more (joyous?)

    Hi there, Pleasing So I have really nailed what it is that confuses me, when people say "without faith you can't please God" and "you can't achieve salvation by works": their sentiment is respectable, and their earnestness admirable, but there is a problem with the way, in which they give no...

    If you're not calm and spirited, you are not ready for the tribulation; if you are not spirited and calm, you are not ready for the rapture (ready?)

    Hi there! So I thought I would post this in the Eschatological forum, because this is where the most contention about what is coming is to be found. I am not trying to present a specific case, for the order of things to come, save that I believe the experience of the Rapture, is supposed to...

    I am stronger, the more I search for the Lord (you also?)

    Hi there, So, I have had it dawn upon me, that I am stronger, when I search for the Lord. It's just a simple fact. I'm not sure how it works, or why - but I know it works. There is something about Him, that is pure, even in the Holy Spirit. I think it must be that the Holy Spirit is now in Him...

    ""Made Righteous" = "In Christ"

    If you know that you are not going to commit a particular sin any more, you can move on to works that justify your innocence in that regard (selah)

    Hi there! So as Jesus said "Wisdom is justified by her children" and there is the child who is faithful and the child who is diligent. Now having been faithful, there is always the temptation to sin and sin gets in the way of diligence, but if you have acknowledged your conscience that what you...

    John 14:1-31 (Jesus comforts his disciples; Jesus way to Father, promises Holy Spirit)

    ““Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be...

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown...

    What the Heck is Salvation? And what are we Saved From?

    There appears to be some confusion as to what actually constitutes salvation, how it is procured, and how, even whether, it needs to be retained. There are threads all over the place discussing various aspects of the gospel from go to woe (perhaps an unfortunate pun) but what prompted this...
