Now Catholics believe that a saint comes along once in a generation...and Protestants think everybody who accepts free salvation is a saint. I believe neither are true. I am posting this thread for those who are interested in advancing their walks towards saintliness. God has ordained that...

When we buy a property, we can claim that everything on that property is now ours. We have this thing about ownership. We see something and we ask...how much does it cost? We do the same thing with the bible. We purchase a bible...or get a free copy...and then proceed to do the same thing with...

We tend to go the path of least resistance...that is....unless we are convinced that it is necessary to take a harder road. But if given the choice....if all is equal...we will always choose the easier way. The devil knows our nature...well the old nature anyway...very intimately. He is the...

Who understands this passage?.... Gal. 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. Through what law? (Paul is quite confusing with all his references to law without being specific about what he's talking about) And what does this have to do with....the soul...

Now this statement may appear to be easy to understand and accept....but in todays religious anti-truth quagmire...it has become unacceptable. So then this is a good place to examine the distance that so many have fallen away from the teachings of Jesus. May this examination lead some people to...

We are living in perilous times. At the end of this age (like right now) there will be (is) a great apostasy. God will seem to be giving people what they want...and how they want it. But it will be delusion. Strong delusion. 2 Thes. 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told...

We live in perilous times. The bible has never had more readers....yet with the explosion of bible sales...there has not been a corresponding explosion of faith in God. In fact, the trend is quite the other way. With more bibles has come less faith. What has taken root and increased instead is a...

What makes something "apostolic?" Catholics believe their church is such based on a bizarre reference to "succession." (As if there was a family kingship being passed down) Others believe it means the "headship of Christ"....whatever that means in practical terms. But mostly people are...

OK....so this is going to be difficult for some people here. Since this isn't taught in sunday school this will not be understood or accepted so easily. :) But to those who love the truth and want to go deeper than sunday school...here is a thread that will take you deeper (by faith of course)...

This is going to be an in depth study about the identity of Jesus Christ.....as per both testaments. I will be drawing a parallel between Gen. 28 and John 1 Jacob's ladder... Gen. 28:12 And he (Jacob) dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and...

The only proof of salvation (that can't be duplicated by the outer man) is that we love. We are saved BY love in order TO love. Too simple? This is the simplicity which is in Christ. How will people know that our gatherings are of the people of God? By the love that warms the gathering. You...

Binding and Loosing “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Mat 18:18 When Jesus spoke these words His listeners already knew something about binding and loosing. In the Jewish tradition...

I am starting this thread to discuss the difference between the way of Christ by the Spirit...and the modern cultural form of Christianity that seeks to give temporal governments credibility. The Christian way is not just a way of non-violence...but a total renunciation of all temporal power...

Scientists seek continually for the "Theory of Everything"...that is one theory that ties in and harmonizes the law of the Big (the ways of the universe, gravity etc...) together with the law of the Small (quantum theory). The subject is vast and is far beyond the mortal mind to grasp. I don't...

The bible could be seen as an incoherent mess...with statements flying about in no particular order...with even blatant contradictory statements. Many claim to understand the depth of the word...but these overclaim their ability by simply leaving out or ignoring the verses that contradict their...

Jesus promised that He would not leave us orphans...that He would send the Parakletos....the Comforter (He who comes to one's side). That means we need never be away from God's presence. The truth is that we can bask in His presence always. This is the unspeakable gift. There are different...

Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the LORD Jesus Christ, What is meant that our citizenship is from heaven? When a person is born in a certain country, that person can be said to belong to that country....the land of our birth. If a...

Metanoia is a journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life. In the bible it is translated as "repentance." Metanoia means "after-thought." But it is more than a one-time event or action. Repentance is a process of going from being carnal to being spiritual in Christ. We are to...

Ever since the declaration of "Mission Accomplished" by those who see the bible as "the way, the truth, and the life"...the insurgency of error (or errorists) has been on the rise. Just as Paul Bremmer confidently declared that everything he did was directed by the Lord (he did read the bible)...
