The scripture is clear that the cessation of the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, did not occur. Jesus is the same today as yesterday and so is the Holy Spirit. Do you believe the Holy Spirit can perform miracles in believers lives and has done so in the past? Do you believe that the...

Yes it was written in the word (lower case "w") that the Word (uppercase "W") became flesh. Philippians 2:7 But emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. Jesus was the image of God in human form but had emptied Himself of all recognizable...

Thanks David. The letter was actually addressed to every Christian church from AD 60 to AD 2026. Paul told the church at Colossae to swap their letter (the letter to the Colossians) with the church at Laodicea. Colossians 4:16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read...

Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Your opinion is not based on the text...

The letter to the Galatians was addressed to the church in Galatia. Paul was warning the entire Galatian church. Galatians 3:1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? Paul was not talking to some individual in Galatia?

Your reply covers more fully what the apostles wrote about. A Christian believes in Jesus obviously and lives the Christian life in love towards others. Colossians 1;4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; Ephesians 6:23 Peace be to the...

Jesus became a man. Jesus in the form of a man could not be in all places at once. Jesus did not know all things. Jesus needed sleep and food. Jesus no longer has His glory. Jesus was mortal and eventually was murdered by His enemies. Jesus literally emptied Himself of His divine...

Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. I cannot fathom how someone with a...

The View That Christians Can Fall from Grace This perspective relies on explicit warnings and conditional statements found throughout the New Testament epistles and Gospels: [1] Galatians 5:4: The Apostle Paul writes that believers who try to earn their righteousness through the Mosaic Law...

Exactly the point of the paragraph. Or better explained as it's not knowing the mechanics of salvation but the application of that salvation to others.

Faith is definitely not a work but a mere response to the promise of the gospel message; Christ crucified for eternal life. Reconciliation to God belongs to Christ alone. The Christian life is a continuous work a new creation built for good works.

That's correct. The predestination and the foreknew (foreknown) aspect is misunderstood by both Calvinism and Arminianism. Calvinism states humanity has no say in the divine election process at all. God chose the elect before the world began. Whereas Arminianism states God elects because God...

Galatians 6:6-8 The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows...

How do you understand the additional teaching in Matthew 7? Matthew 7:24-26 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house...

i have a different approach to understanding how to identify in yourself and others why you are saved. 1 John 5:13 John writes so that those who believe in the name of the Son of God may know they have eternal life. On it's own it is a genuine statement that John made but lacks the...

Can you be more specific?

What do you mean in the main?

Do you really walk "in the Spirit"? I highlighted that phrase for a reason, Cameron.

There is a dynamic in human nature that allows anyone to have a level of deception in their understanding. That level of deception may disqualify a person from salvation depending on the type and depth of that deception. The Galatian church was in serious danger of falling from grace, fact...

Surely by now Cameron you have witnessed so many alternative interpretations of the scripture. You have been on C.F for a long time and you have seen most of the main factions, sects, in Christianity. The fundamental and critical mistake is that reliance or obedience to the law which the...
