If you do not have the Holy Spirit, according to Romans, you aren't a Christian. The Holy Spirit is given as a pledge of our future inheritance at the moment of salvation. No Holy Spirit = not a Christian.

The 10 commandments, the original ones were carved out of stone with the very finger of God. The law, the Pentateuch, the 5 books were delivered by God to Moses. Moses, and those God said for him to delegate authority to, were to judge between others based on that "Law". The law was delivered by...

Context, context, context ... the Context is, before you judge anyone else BY THE STANDARD I AM ABOUT TO COMMAND YOU TO JUDGE EVERYONE ELSE BY, judge yourselves and make sure you do not fall short. Mat. 1-5 covers that warning. Vs. 6 is Jesus command to judge others based on their responses to...

People harden their own hearts to even hearing truth. Look at every belief group on the planet. Pick one, any one. Do they not have: 1.) tons of data to prove their views are correct. 2.) Tons of proof that all opposing beliefs are false. 3.) Tons of interpretations of the data in 1-2 above...

You are absolutely correct. We should ignore God's commands and forsake the gathering of ourselves together. The world demands it. Obey men. Not God.

As you say, the question is not the consequences for obeying and gathering together without the worlds restrictions. The question is who is willing to pay the price for obeying God? Answer ... few there are that be saved. If you are in Mesa AZ I will meet with anyone who wants to meet to obey...

The question then becomes, what do we do with first Corinthians seven. What type of touching is going on in verse one that results in the possible outcome listed in verse 2? Let them marry, they have not sinned... yet the reasons for seeking to get married in this chapter all have to do with...

First, the modern definition of adultery has nothing to do with God's definition, and the word woman in the verse which says, If any man looks at a woman to dwell on his lust for her he has committed adultery with her in his heart had a completely different meaning to Jesus and His audience than...

God created time. Whenever He started creating, evening, morning one day ... there was a beginning ... to time. Here's the point. The earth was created with a semblance of age. He created full grown plants, animals, humans, not seeds and embryos flopping around on the ground. In other words, if...

Truth vs. beliefs ... If you want to hold fast to any belief(s) on the planet, do the following: 1.) Gather what you can "use" to prove your beliefs true. 2.) Gather everything you can to prove all opposing positions false. 3.) Interpret all your "selected" data above in the light of your...

I love it. Anything more local to Mesa AZ?

Help me. I am looking for a church that does not forsake the gathering of people together as is the habit of some, and will not be ruled by the teachings and precepts of men regardless of what is going on. By gosh, I love truth and live by truth point me in the right direction so I can...

Mormons think so, Jehovah's Witnesses think so, Christian Science people think so, Roman Catholics think so ... the many that will say to Jesus, Lord, Lord, did we not ... think so. 100% trustworthy and safe is something a lot of people agree on.

Considering Jesus said that "few" of those that believe He is their Lord, God and Savior will be saved, and He referred to the "Narrow" path using the word, "To groan to squeeze through", the 90% number is probably quite generous to the point of ostentatiousness. Many believe Jesus was referring...
