Hi there, So yes, I have come to the conclusion that I have been tempted to be so smart it is "sin". I have approached being smart from all kinds of angles, been too verbose and have complicated what I mean. All this I have done, in order to be assiduous in my own estimation. The problem is I...

Hi there, So I have been following the unveiling of events as prophesied in Revelation as close as I have been able (it was the first book I read, once I had confessed my sins to God) and I finally have an interpretation that fits - specifically the world's response to guilt, in fear of the...

Hi there, I am in a spiritual struggle and it has dawned on me, that my attitude to sin is the same as my attitude to iniquity - I think of sin as "wrong", but no more wrong than "iniquity". This cannot be the case. I am throwing myself on your mercy, because I want to be an example of someone...

Hi there, So the Two Witnesses are told "come up here" in Revelation 11:12 (that is, "come to Heaven"). But what are the implications of this? Jesus ascended to Heaven and promised to return. If Jesus ascends and promises to return, how is it that the Two Witnesses - called by a voice in Heaven...

Hi there, So there is a reason you have found eschatology so fascinating, in your walk with Christ - here on these forums! The reason is that prophecy plays a big part of the next phase of life: Heaven. In Heaven, we are not bound to believe in just one kind of prophecy, nor are there so many...

Reader, Only the Law, can define your works of the flesh, as a SIN. So, once Jesus has taken the Law off of the born again...as this.... ""Christ has redeemed us from the Curse of the Law""... because ""Jesus is the END OF THE LAW.. . for Righteousness"". Now, all the born again are "IN...

Reader... Q.) Why is faith counted as righteousness. ???? Its because a sinner, and "all have sinned, there is none righteous, no not one"........has no righteousness to offer God. So, How does God, who is Righteousness itself, come into UNION, spiritual and eternal union,.... with an...

Hi there, So this is a simple proverb that has helped me immensely, so I thought I would share: Just think this over "I am not well, but I don't need to rush to curing myself", "I am prepared to laugh, but not at everything", or "as happy as I am at my cure, there is room for improvement" -...

Hi there, So there is something in common, between God and Man: both of them respond favourably to gratitude. I'm not exactly sure what the effect is called, but it has been established that flattery works, even when you know you are being flattered. In this sense, God is great at taking a...

Hi there, So I just wanted to speak a little about being free in the Spirit. The scope of the Spirit's freedom is in the scriptures. It is good to search the scriptures, for this reason. However, it is easy to fall in to the trap of thinking, that specific verses are there "just for you". How...

Hi there, So there is a simple fact that I think a lot of us overlook: you are rewarded more for saying "faith without works is dead" than you are for saying "we are under Grace". What is the difference? The difference is maturity. More people realise that their faith requires something of...

Romans 6:1-2 1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Reader.... Paul is showing that the born again do not have any sin to "live in". = "How shall we (the born again)... who died to...

Hi there, So I have thought long and hard, about why I believe (and what I believe) and I have made very little progress! But something that has encouraged me, is simply that what God created couldn't be as infinite as it is, unless God had willed it to be so. Matter on its own, does not beg...

Hi there, So as much as the Devil is a scapegoat for evil, I wonder what it means that the Devil has never "eaten the forbidden fruit"? When he accuses us before God, part of the struggle is that the Devil's sin is far sleighter, than the sins of man. The Devil tempts man, but he himself takes...

Hi there, So I won't make a long story about this, but I caught the world sinning and I realised what it was doing in sin: it was adding sin to a hard heart. This is something the world does in iniquity, not because it willingly wants to sin and sin more. The flaw is of course that they don't...

Hi there, So just thinking on spiritual things, for a little while, I learned something about Babylon (MYSTERY) that I want to share. Now God at some point says "come out of her, lest you share in her sins" but what is it that Babylon "sins"? The answer simply is: she conceals the cross. Why...

Reader.... You can know right now if you are not going to Heaven., whereas, God knew it before you were born. This is not the same as God causing it... as ForeKnowledge, is not pre-destination... So, how can anyone at anytime KNOW they are going to Hell? Well, if that is the destination of...

Hi there, So this is just a shout out to all the people who have developed the germ of faith, having been watered by the Lord and given the soil of His Church. You need to pray for the One that lead you to Christ! Say "Lord, thank you for the One that lead me to You, protect and keep them, in...

Hi there, So there is a verse that says "God will not always strive with Man" and another that says "they are blinded, lest they turn and God heal them - that is, in their fallen state" (OT, from memory, my addition). These two things are not evidence of disease in their own right, but I think...

- There are vessels "fitted for destruction"..... That is everyone who is never born again, and dies. This does not include babies or small children. So, John 3:36, says that God's Wrath is on unbelievers.. So THEY are the "vessels fitted", and waiting. This is every unbeliever.......They are...
