    Is God asking you to give away everything?

    One thing is to disagree with other Christians. Another is to say they aren't Christians. That isn't Biblical either. Bible says no one can confess Jesus is Lord without the Holy Spirit, hence all who confess Jesus as Lord are Christians. Elsewhere, it says all who confess Jesus Christ is the...

    Jesus is God

    Believing Jesus is God and Savior is an essential doctrine, not a peripheral one or an open question. See what Jesus said about that: "I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” (Jn 8:24) Virtually all Christian...

    Is God asking you to give away everything?

    "Stalin famously said of the Church, “The Pope! How many divisions has he?” Less well known is Churchill’s response that Stalin “might have mentioned a number of legions not always visible on parade”. Indeed, the reach and influence of the Church are not easily described by statistics alone, yet...

    How (Alleged, Natural) "Total Depravity" leads to (Actually, freely-chosen) Total Depravity.

    Just passing through. SOTW, Cornelius believed in God in a generic sense but not explicitly in Jesus Christ. He was a Gentile, a Roman centurion in fact. That's clear from Acts 10. He didn't have the Holy Spirit in him yet. He receives Him in vs 44. "Acts 10 Peter Meets Cornelius 24 And the...

    Is God asking you to give away everything?

    Good Exegesis of Jesus and the Rich Young Man/Ruler here: "This event relates the term "eternal life" to entry into the Kingdom of God.[7] The account starts with a question to Jesus about eternal life, and Jesus then refers to entry into the Kingdom of God in the same context.[7][8] The rich...

    WAR

    Well, let's pray and hope we can avoid World War III and Nuclear World War. If one is referring to the Russia-Ukraine Crisis, I think WWIII can be avoided. European Countries are avoiding directly engaging Russia. So it remains a local conflict. They are not sending e.g. Polish or British...

    Jesus is God

    Yes, and God the Father had said: "And I will not give My glory to another." (Isa 48:11b). So if God the Father glorified Jesus, then it is obvious Jesus is not another Being, but because He is one God with Him; not an angel, nor a human being, but God the Son or God the Word (Logos). Jesus and...

    Is God asking you to give away everything?

    Some say there are no Priests in the New Testament. Has it ever occurred to those who say that, if that were true, there would be no Tithes either? Tithes are always and everywhere only for Priests, that is absolutely Biblically indisputable. If anyone wants to, I'll give the verses to prove it...

    How (Alleged, Natural) "Total Depravity" leads to (Actually, freely-chosen) Total Depravity.

    Btw, in just the previous chapter, God had said: "16In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." so it doesn't mean there can be no public prayers, public fasting, or public alms-giving done by the Church, but rather...

    How (Alleged, Natural) "Total Depravity" leads to (Actually, freely-chosen) Total Depravity.

    Hi All. Thanks for the responses. Going to respond to Cameron as he covers most of the objections. Agreed. As for Original Sin, which Deuteronomy also mentioned, we all agree with it. Bible says: "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death...

    Trent: "Having, therefore, been thus justified, and made the friends and domestics of God, advancing from virtue to virtue, they are renewed, as the Apostle says, day by day; that is, by mortifying the members of their own flesh, and by presenting them as instruments of justice unto...

    How (Alleged, Natural) "Total Depravity" leads to (Actually, freely-chosen) Total Depravity.

    Total Depravity is contrary to the Holy Bible, as we will see shortly. Let's define it first: "John Calvin used terms like "total depravity" to mean that, despite the ability of people to outwardly uphold the law, there remained an inward distortion which makes all human actions displeasing to...

    Is God asking you to give away everything?

    Nice, Ebde. Me too. Being the Disciple whom Jesus loved, resting on His Heart, would be great. For that, we must love Christ like St. John loved, standing by Him at the Cross, with Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene, even while other Apostles had fled. And Mary Magdalene is another person whom we...

    Is God asking you to give away everything?

    Btw that was Ez 44:28. Typo. Also in Num 18:20 and many other passages: "Then the LORD said to Aaron[the Priest], "You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites." Righteousness begins by Grace...

    In what way(s) did Christ take our punishment for sin?

    Without the shedding of Blood - of a Lamb without blemish - there is no forgiveness of sin. This was revealed in the Law. "In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22) "For the life of the...

    "Heaven...

    Every believer should long for Heaven, and for the 1000 year Reign of Christ, and be ready to live and die for Jesus Christ to go there. We should also Store up Treasures in Heaven, as the Lord said in Mat 6, by Praying, Fasting, Alms-Giving and so on. Heaven will be Wonderful beyond...
