1 Cor 1:19-31 - NKJV 19 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom...

2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with...

There are those that claim they have the power to not sin in the flesh. They never say they sin in the flesh because that would show they do not really have that power. Since they think they no longer sin they have nothing to repent of. As a Matter of fact they make God a liar because God has...

1 Cor 15:1-5 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that...

Rom 5:8-9 - NKJV 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Eph 2:4-8 - NKJV 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great...

a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. Rom 3:21-28 -- NKJV 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For...

It was asked by someone “would God ask us to do what we couldn’t do?“ He asked the Jews to keep the Law of Moses. However, when they, the Jews, killed their Messiah (Jesus) He concluded that no man could keep the Law of Moses and He had another plan to save sinful men, a plan to shed the blood...

Dispensationalists understand the Bible to be organized into seven dispensations: Innocence (Genesis 1:1—3:7), Conscience (Genesis 3:8—8:22), Human Government (Genesis 9:1—11:32), Promise (Genesis 12:1—Exodus 19:25), Law (Exodus 20:1—Acts 2:4), Grace (Acts 2:4—Revelation 20:3), and the...

NOTE: All scriptures from the NKJV Bible Rom 3:23 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, A person must realize they are sinful and have no hope of being otherwise by their own efforts.. Rom 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in...

There seems to be a lot of confusion about this judgement. When reading this in the Bible it is a mistake to assume it is about how we help others in the Christian life. If it is, then we are still under law. A person should focus on “the why” these people are selected in each group...

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a...

Does this theology really exist or am I making it up? IMHO yes it really does exist. If you ask most people in the Christian religion why they think they are going to heaven the first things out of their mouth will be about what they do, or have done. --- In other words it will be about...

Galatians 3:6-8 6 just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand...

Isaiah 61:10 10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. NKJV It is...

From the book “hard to believe” by John MacArthur. Man-made and demon-designed systems of religion are based on the assumption that we don't really need a Savior, or aren't fully dependent on Him, because we have the capacity to develop our own righteousness. Just let God give us a little...

It is not the purpose of this OP to define the timeline in detail. The purpose is to show that the timeline in prophesy was primarily that of the nation of Israel but that God has temporarily broken this timeline. I will pick it up where God made a covenant with Abraham. With Abraham God set...

2 Peter 3:15-17 NKJV 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation — as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand...

James 2:20-21 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? (NKJ) Okay, then how do you explain this? He was accounted righteous before God several years earlier...

I have talked with many representatives of religions. Some of them come to my door and many others are on Internet forums. Although I placed my faith in Jesus at the early age of 9, talking with these representatives caused me to examine what I believe about God and my relationship with him...

What seems to be obvious is that those that teach a child of God MUST have works to show their faith have hung the statement of James that “faith without works is dead” around the necks of those “IN CHRIST” who believe in Jesus‘ work on the cross. To these we are just required to keep the law...
