    Romans 8 Study part 16 (GOD’S PURPOSE continued)

    GLORIFIED ~ concluded from above ~ GLORIFIED – “to make glorious” (Strong’s 1392) In Revelation, when John saw Jesus in all His glory, “His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.” (Rev 1:16 NIV) This is the image to which we’ve been called. Has not God predestined us to “be...

    Gods 10 Commandments versus the list of the 613 Mitzvot or commandments of Moses...

    The supposed list in Exodus 34 of the "real" ten commandments (which has been thrown at me before), is easily dismantled by the rest of Scripture - which is given, not from man's thought, but the very mind of God. And as hobie correctly pointed out above... there indeed is a difference between...

    REPENTANCE

    REPENTANCE (part 4) "Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of My God. Remember, therefor, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent." -Rev 3:2-3 This Word is for us today in the churches. We've understood...

    On HEALING

    I know that well. This type of teaching is not for "most people." Remember, there is a "narrow Way" and a "wide road." There is only a remnant that God will bring forth with Christ in that Day, in whom His promises will be fulfilled. Makes me wonder how long most people would sit today and...

    Recovery of sight to the blind

    Hi Andrew. Good question. Just a quick thought this morning... I believe the answer lies in part in the understanding of the word "blind" in the passage. Consider Jesus' example elsewhere, speaking of the Pharisees - "They are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind...

    On HEALING

    “If you diligently heed (obey) the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” - Ex 15:26 NKJV (HCSB) I'm...

    Romans 8 Study part 14 (IMMORTALITY)

    reasons to leave a church

    False doctrine would be the biggest reason for me to go elsewhere. Was blessed to be a member/deacon/elder/teacher in a sound fellowship for 20 years, until the Pastor finally retired at the age of 94 from the church he lead since 1976. The church I am involved with now is part of a...

    Thanks for your reply and input. Let me begin my answer with the Word - "And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— 27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’— as I also have...

    The christian response to global warming

    "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." - 2Chron 7:14 Indeed there is a "global warming" coming, but not because of aerosol...

    The false gospel of grace

    Yes, sadly "another gospel" of grace that trumps all of God's commands is widely taught and accepted in many churches today. It is rather long, but this video exposes some of these "hyper grace" teachers who truthfully are leading many down the "wide path." https://youtu.be/XgnBQ60FeGo

    Romans 8 Study part 13 (RULERSHIP)

    ~ concluded from above ~ Again... this is overcoming. Standing firm in faith. Surrendering not to the wiles of the devil. Putting to death the deeds of the flesh. Loving not our lives. Carrying our cross. Those who, like Jesus, love righteousness and hate wickedness, who surrender their lives...

    Romans 8 Study part 13 (RULERSHIP)

    ~ continued from above ~ So we fix our eyes on Jesus, not on the other, the usurper, whose power has been given temporarily only to serve God’s ultimate, eternal purposes. It is Jesus who has “all authority, power and dominion.” And now, we too are called to share in Jesus’ authority and glory...
