the forums seem to be over run with more heretics then usual


maybe because everyone else is celebrating Easter at church....

anyway... Eyes Right!....

'Eyes Right' by C. H. Spurgeon

Topic:
Scripture(s): Proverbs 4:25
Description: “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.” Proverbs 4:25. THESE words occur in a passage wherein the wise man exhorts us to take care of all parts of our nature, which he indicates by members of the body. “Keep thy heart,” says he, “with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” It is clear that every part of our nature needs to be carefully watched, lest in any way it should become the cause of sin. Any one member or faculty is readily able to defile all the rest, and therefore every part must be guarded with care. We have selected for our meditation the verse which deals with the eye. These windows of light need to be watched in their incomings, lest that which we take into our soul should be darkness rather than light; and they need to be watched in their outgoings, lest the glances of the eye should be full of iniquity, or should suggest foolish thoughts. Hence the wise man advises, “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.”

here's an audio of a good sermon if you are tired of listening and reading to lies about Jesus and His Word as well..

sound doctrine was threatened when Roman paganism infected Christendom as early as the 3rd century

but Christians here in this forum dont read or study Chrisian history... apparently to them, it's a waste of time.

talking to people who deny that Jesus is God is a "waste of time" especially when they are trying to convert you and others to their false beliefs.

No doubt!

I know many don't like my views on the Holy Spirit and how He was the divine nature of God living in Christ who now resides in born again believers but that's to be expected considering it is something you seldom hear taught today in most denominations. Most churches actually teach against the gifts of the Spirit thus the fruits of the Spirit (the divine nature) are usually ignored because of it. The concept of the divine nature now residing in us is something that the Lord himself has shown me through my personal bible study and time with the Lord. Fortunately it's nothing new and there are great men of God in the past who held to similar ideals (Andrew Murray for one) that I'm able to read to help me better understand.

However, I do attempt to keep the basics of salvation just as simple as possible but when I read some of the crazy stuff that is being said about some of the most elementary aspects of Christianity, it blows my mind.

I agree that there hasn't been sound doctrine around for a long time and we do need to look throughout Church History to get the full picture.

Yes and by following your methods we can all come to the "realization" that Jesus is NOT God?

An excellent compilation of verses that we would all do well to take heed to. The deceiver is on the loose and we must keep speaking the truth for the sake of young or weak Christians.
God bless, brother.

Let's not use the word EASTER to represent the PASSOVER LAMB SACRIFICE. It seems sacriligious or blasphemous.

Am I off base?

People do, Ana, BELIEVERS we're talking here--who believe different than you (and I)-- DO have the laws of God , taught through the pentateuch, the prophets, etc., Jesus, WRITTEN on the tablets of their hearts. They just have come to believe the law explained soundly is different meaning than you. BUT....

the real Truth of their being your brother (or sister) in Christ is what? Their belief in Christ, accepting His greatest act of Love, having died on the cross to save the sins of the world, if they believe God did that for them, that is IT :) That's the ticket :D

This is no different from all through time, where churches needed different preaching from different prophets, for not only the stage (state) of maturity of the church and peoples, from Israelites to Ninevites to Paul's throngs, but for also the belief of their doctrine.

Sound doctrine sounds different to many believers, hence, there are so many different denominations with different doctrine.

No you are not. We can all clearly trace the origins of Easter to pagans. We use the word primarily out of tradition, and most know what your talking about when you use it. I like to use Resurrection Sunday instead.

I would like to encourage you all to continue to post the truth of Gods Word on this Forum. You are all sent here by the Lord Himself, guided by the Holy Ghost bringing all of the truth of Gods Word to your remembrance. The Lord showed me there are many who come to this Forum and others like it searching for a Word from God. When the truth is posted, the Holy Spirit can lead them to it, for it says in His Word that "My sheep will hear My voice and another's they will not follow" I don't care how much false doctrine is posted, the Lord will lead them to your posts..CAN HE COUNT ON YOU? We will never know until we are with our Lord in glory how many Souls we helped deliver from the enemy. So rejoice! And Praise the Most High God!..Who Was and Was not and Is forever more..The Alpha and Omega! The only Wise God and our Savior, Jesus who is the Christ our Lord!

2 Timothy 3:1-5
(1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
(2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
(3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
(4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
(5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

These verses are speaking about people who profess to follow God

sound doctrine is given thru scripture, its how "studying the word to be approved" has taken the simplicity found in CHRIST JESUS and turned into a theoligcal text book study, not what i think the cross is all about.
Sound doctrine, divide the word correctly, at the cross, before and after, law from grace, what the finished work of the cross means and has bought us at such a price, HIS BLOOD.

I dont care too much for talk that doesnt edify, glorify Jesus and the love the Father has for us.
anything else is just being "puffed up with knowledge"

As corruption of the Word of God has entered many a church by teachers teaching to itching ears these days is it of no wonder that our Lord said, “when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)

It is up to us to verify every word that is being taught to us is in harmony with the Word of God!

In Christ, 1Christianwarrior316

Sound doctrine was lost in the reformation, when original sin, substitution, moral transfer, penal substitution, Calvinism, and a host of of other false teachings, especially OSAS, came in and were added into the pure truth handed down by the saints.


The Doctrine Which is According to Godliness!


If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself 1Tim6:3-5

Sound Doctrine: Yields Both: Right Faith and Right Practice. (Early Church Axiom)

The Teaching of Doctrine MUST Translate into GODLY Living or Something is WRONG! If People are drawing the Natural Conclusion that their Personal Behavior will not effect the outcome of their Salvation, you are Sitting under ERROR! Everything Jesus Taught focused on DOING, STRIVING, BUILDING, Digging Deep, Continuing Steadfast, Enduring.

NOTHING He Said Implied that a PROVISION has been made for you and Some Kind of Moral Transfer of Virtue has taken place when you believed. ONLY DEEDS Could Prove Faith. If the Tree Yielded no Fruit or Rotten Fruit, it was fit ONLY for the Fire. Notice the Urgency of Early Teaching:

Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.Col1:28-29

HOW Far Removed is this from the Modern Day Church? In Early Times the PURPOSE of the Commandment was CLEARLY Defined: “Sincerity, Purity and Love!’ 1Tim1:5
Converts were Told to Walk Worthy of the Lord, Keep Self Pure, OBEY the Word!

NOW it’s Every Excuse why you’re the Chief of Sinners and Romans Wretch. Sins are Forgiven in Advance and NOTHING you DO matters! Repentance is Null and Void. Wrong Doctrine Always Yields WRONG PRACTICE! (they will not endure sound doctrine! (2Tim4:1-5)

Real Repentance is Suppose to Yield a CLEARING of Wrong Doing, Zeal to Do Right, Diligence and Purity of Heart! 2Cor7:10-11. The Old man is Crucified Once and for all with Christ, Rom6:4-6
NOT to be Repeated! It’s DONE, ALL SIN has Stopped.

Under the False Message you Come as you are and REMAIN a Sinner, with the Old Man intact. It is God’s Job to Subdue the Old Nature by a Process, you have Nothing to do with it and no further Condemnation for continuing to sin. Grace has you Covered, Declared Righteous in Christ and Pre-Forgiven!
ENTIRE System is OPPOSITE of Bible, Up-Side-Down! ALL WRONG. But they HEAP to themselves Teachers, with their Itching Ears, Being turned away from the TRUTH to Fables!

Thus the Following Describes Your Churches:
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2Tim3:2-7

But Saints Described in Paul’s NT Letters are Rooted, Grounded, Established, Built up in Faith, Blameless, Pure Minded, Loving, Patiently Enduring all things, Meek, Humble and Obedient. In TOTAL Fulfillment of the Commandment Delivered to them! Followers of Christ BY EXAMPLE! Right Faith and Right Practice were the END RESULT of SOUND DOCTRINE Contended for earnestly by the Saints.

Sound Doctrine will Silence the Opposition, Titus1:9, and Cast Down the Lying Strongholds! 2Cor10:5
