    Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

    I have known many believers Christians who being deceived by Satan were led from the path of truth into sexual immorality. Repentance is not just something that happens in the beginning of our walk. It is one of the foundational stones on which the Temple of God [the Church] has been established.

    When you do not understand the meaning of a passage of scripture do you automatically assume God is the One "allowing" your confusion or non-comprehension, or that God HIMSELF made a mistake when He inspired a prophet or teacher to speak or write? Solomon told us: 1 My son, if you receive my...

    Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

    When Thomas said to Jesus, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus did NOT answer him by saying: the teachings of the Torah are the way. I reveal the way TO YOU by teaching you the Torah. If you think this then you still do not understand Jesus or His...

    Yes I repented of my sins. I could only confess what I knew. The Apostle said that if we walk in the light and sin we can confess that sin to the Father and we will be forgiven and cleansed. It is like ongoing dialysis So not being a murderer makes up for not being a thief? Being a liar is...

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    Some false assumptions underly your reasoning 1. The first is that a "gift of healing" [IF it were real and if you believed in it] would grant to the person WITH the gift the ability to heal WHOMEVER they wish WHENEVER they choose to do so.

    Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

    This is one of the reasons the Holy Spirit was sent into the world - to convict men of their sins. Conviction is a very unpleasant work, in that it is not something we like hearing about ourselves. Usually we human's live in the delusion that that we are not AS BAD as we COULD be or not as bad...

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    ALL believers who pray for God's miraculous intervention in their lives cannot be put in the same category as that occult Gnostic of the First Century, Simon Magus, who was hailed as The Great Power of God.

    Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

    A. When you asked by what standard the ungodly will be judged I did not need to come up with anything new. The Bible already tells us why people will be judged and the subject of keeping Shabbat is never brought up. This [judgment] will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven...

    Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

    A. Jesus was far more than just another Rabbi rehashing the Law of Moses and reminding the Jewish people of their duty to obey the Law. Messiah's message was the GOOD NEWS that had never been uttered before. 34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything...

    Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

    A. When God makes a blood covenant with an individual or a group the covenant itself is what binds them together.

    A. So, you hold that, every believer in Jesus Christ, regardless of their racial-ethic origin, must keep ALL the requirements of the Covenant God made with Moses and the JEWISH people at Sinai. B. This belief, in turn, rests on another presupposition - that a particular English translation of...
