To me the question is simple, and can be expressed this way: Does God seek our obedience through threat of spiritual death, or by revealing Himself to us knowing that as His children being in an active relationship with Him changes us, making us able to control ourselves? There is a follow-up...

No, I'm speaking of those who insist on the observance of the Law given in the covenant God made with Israel at Mt. Horeb. Our repentance to salvation is from unbelief to belief. After this we are in our discipleship with Jesus, as He trains us to walk in His Spirit. We, being in Christ, no...

This is another place that clarifies this for us. "In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind." The Law speaks, He who does these will live by them, Grace speaks, In Him as life. So where do we go for life? To the Law? Or to Jesus? This very passage announces the end of...

Listen to you! Wisdom is justified by her children. Much love!

James 1:8 KJV A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Someone attempts to live in both Law and Grace. Much love!

I think that has a lot to do with these false teachings, that some people can't seem to keep their hands off, and have to be able to both take credit for their salvation, and to vaunt themselves over others. I find the manner of posting often betrays whether they are sincerely in error, or if...

There seems to be the often times seen blending of old and new covenants. I know in my self it's hard sometimes to not feel like my performance in life affects my relationship with God, though He's shown me so many times He loves me regardless, and He is always with me working with me. I need...

I've used cpap for years. Yes, I get much better sleep. My sleep study showed I was waking up on average every 3 minutes. It took about 2 weeks to get used to it, after that, no problem. Only when my nose is stuffy. It's not about just getting more oxygen, Continuous Positive Airway...

You must be on the hunt. That passages attests to the veracity of Jesus' ministry and teaching, and certainly relates to the topic. Much love!

On the radio this morning on my way to work the fellow was comparing/contrasting the broken Christian to the prideful Christian, I couldn't help but running through my mind various forum members I've encountered over the years. Much love!

Seriously, this is your reply? What nonsense! No, it's your fonts. I've already told you this a few times. Much love!

I'm sorry, I'm done. Much love!

I'll try to rein myself in . . . sigh . . . :)

I guess I just don't know anyone like that. Well, Paul was in fact the apostle to the gentiles, and Jesus was in fact sent to the Lost Sheep of Israel. What do those things mean to you? Jesus taught the Law to a people (the only people, actually) who were under the Law. Paul taught those who...

. . . again a reminder . . . this over-formating is hard on my eyes, when I see something like this I just scroll through it while glancing away . . .

That seems contrary to the whole idea of regeneration, that if someone is reborn, they will be different, not like uncaring unregenerate. "You don't have to" is a fleshy thing, we are reborn a spirit. God is not holding death over our heads to make us obey. I cannot agree that we in our works...

No, naturally, Ephesians 4:1-2 LITV 1) Then I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk worthily of the calling in which you were called, 2) with all humility and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love, Ephesians 4:22-24 LITV 22) For you have put off the old...

What is the grace that causes whom to reject what exactly? Are you saying Christians don't care about sin? Have you ceased from sin? If yes, that's a different discussion, if no, then what are you saying? What I'm really looking for from you is an example of Jesus' words that a Christian...

I'm just curious is that's what they mean. Some people seem to imply this, I like to confirm. Much love!

I've learned that eating figs every day keeps my bald spot away. I've had occassion to test this four times over the years, and that's the way it is. Much love!
