Yeah.. Who is speaking to whom? What is the subject? What is the occasion? Same sort of thing as who what where when why.

Yes, the application of matthew 18 :20 can be extended to other gatherings in a church setting. Jesus isn't 'only' in the midst for the resolving of sin issues, but for Matthew 18:20 that is the main context. I contend though it is for a local church setting for being in 'the midst' Of...

Matthew 18:20: Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them. This is often used to say Jesus is in the midst of two or three Christian's gathered for ANY purpose. I disagree with this though because the context is primarily about resolving sin issues between...

Roman's chapter 10: That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and believe in thine heart the Lord Jesus Christ thou shalt be saved.

Holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit.. Not automation dictation, but every word God wanted thru the writer's own style.

Ah true.. I never thought of hyper grace that way.. thanks

Yes to those who bring up the license to sin response. Jesus gives eternal life, promises to never leave, guarantees a place in heaven, is with you thru all struggles.. What is the response?

Oh nuts.. just read DC being banned. Weeeeell..

I think it comes down to the worlds version of love and Gods version. The world's version is often all grace and no truth.. so there is no boundaries. Or it is all truth and no grace.. and there is no mercy. 'Truth' though not being the bible's truth but akin to ethics. Gods love though is...

Yes Romans 10 and John 3:16 among others, simple and clear.

Yes not those exact words. It's just my impression that when I or others say about being eternally secure, cant lose salvation..then there is often the response along the lines that you can do whatever you want. Or a 'license to sin' . I'm saying.. it's such huge love and grace given to be...

I dont really know of anyone who thinks they can go and do whatever they want after salvation. The truth though is that obedience isn't linked to initial receiving eternal life from Jesus. Salvation is all about Him and what He does for us. It isn't about the person receiving earning it or...

Christchurch earthquake minor?!!!! I was in the middle of town in Christchurch when it happened.. that was a major earthquake! 6.3 on the richter but had uplifting as well as side to side which amplified the affect. Anyway-- just thought i'd put that in there.

The experience at Pentecost in Acts 2.. Was it a personal experience alone? It was corporate in Acts 2 with the 12. They weren't experiencing it seperate from the assembly. Was the experience of people having visions and dreams and speaking in tongues referring to today? That reference was...

Yea.. like when people say.. oh the bible calls the earth a circle.. not a sphere! Weeeeell.. pretty obvious a sphere is a circle.. just a 3d one 😃

Gift of knowledge as a spiritual gift is not the same as knowledge itself. So the gift of knowledge passing away is to do with a special purpose at the time of the apostles.. not general knowledge.

I was part of a campus Crusade club at Canterbury University in the mid 2000s. I remember the four spiritual laws booklet and shared it with alot of people. I'm not such a fan of it now as it has making Jesus Saviour AND Lord of your life right on the spot for salvation. Biblically it is...

Thank you all for the kind responses

Thinking about Isaiah 7:14 in relation to Jesus. Emmanuel. God... perfect, everlasting, all knowing, all powerful With us... imperfect, sinful, mortal, limited knowlege What a gift of grace! What love! Christmas, much like Easter.. is about the undeserving grace given by God to men

Yes this is what I've been meaning. The commandments not binding on a persons salvation state, but are the things that underpin serving Jesus
