    Context Indeed brother! You are absolutely correct. Personally, there are things I am in agreement on with everyone on this site (even the couple guys that continually attack me!); and while none of us will ever agree totally on all points of doctrine or theology, we definitely do well to...

    Just a little reminder from the Apostle Paul for us all here on this forum - "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and...

    Those who have been "saved" yet remain in their sins and carnal behavior are "dead in their sins" as well. "The wages of sin is death" is a warning to "Christians" in Paul's letter. A professed "believer" who does not "walk worthy" of their calling will not receive an "abundant entrance into...

    Biblical Repentance

    Do they stress that their congregants actually strive against sin even to the shedding of their own blood, knowing that they will be held accountable for their sins in the Day they stand before the Lord, as the Scripture teaches? I was actually raised in the Catholic religion and have visited...

    In case we forgot what this thread was about... We began by looking at the Biblical exhortations for the saints to "walk worthy" of their calling, of the Gospel, of the Kingdom, of Christ and of God. (Matt 10:37-38, Eph 4:1, Phil 1:27, Col 1:10, 1Thess 2:12, 2Thess 1:5, 2Thess 1:11, Rev 3:4)...

(Sowing and Reaping) There are many distractions in this life, things that vie for our attention, and other opportunities to sow our time, effort and energy into that which is not Eternal.

    Amen. Just posted in the Biblical Repentance thread on this very verse you mentioned here.

    Man, I'd like to sit one day with you and discuss these things with our Bibles open and the Holy Spirit in our midst. I've done that several times over the years: met folks in person that I had met on the internet that had questions about things I've shared. In my travels around this nation...

    Biblical Repentance

    Amen. That is why I aim to ever be Truthful is what I teach. As James wrote - "My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment." (Jam 3:1) There is a romance to ministry that many desire, and get into without having been called of the Lord...

    Eternal Salvation comes only to those who are "obedient." When such debates arise, it is always best to set aside the man-made traditions of the churches and lay hold of what Jesus and the Scripture declares. Let's take a look at this passage in Hebrews - "So also Christ did not glorify...

    Opening up another can of worms here!! ;) Let me put it this way... all in the churches are not the Church (capitol C), just as "all Israel are not Israel." (Rom 9:6) Election and predestination play a large part in this (not the way Calvin taught or some think today), and even then one must...

    Biblical Repentance

    Thank you for your reply and concern. However the Scripture backs up my theology completely, as is evident in the multitude of passages I have referenced in the 4 videos. And I have often addressed the points of view of others when presented in a mature manner, and have showed how the verses...

    NIV and missing verses

    Yeah. Personally don't use the NIV or other modern translations too often, partly due to that fact; and also because most contain some bias toward certain theological doctrines that are not exactly found in the original texts. The NKJV (KJV), the NASB and the ESV are my most oft-used...

    Oh saints, let us not squabble over traditions of man, but let us lay hold of what the Scripture states and abide in that. I agree with what Arsenios is saying about the vital importance of baptism. Jesus clearly stated - "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." Mark 16:16 Sounds here...

    I have presented the words correctly from the Greek. We may differ on interpretation, but it doesn't change what the Scripture actually says. :) OH, YES! "few find it" as Jesus said. Truly a "remnant" will come forth in that Day and "appear with Jesus as He is" (1John 3:1-3). It IS a "narrow...

    “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the...

    Why did Jesus have to die?

    Because the promise to inherit "all the works of God's hands" was given to man. The first Adam failed. The Man Jesus had to be "born of woman", be tempted and tried in the flesh and prove Himself worthy before God, even to death on a Cross, before He could become the "heir of God" and thus...

    Romans 8 Study part 1 cont... (IN CHRIST) Back to Rom 8:1 “in Christ Jesus”… The “in” εν in the Greek is a primary preposition ‘denoting position’ (Strong’s 1722) There is more than one teaching on the doctrine of our position in Christ. Those who know me, know that I very seldom refer to any...

    Book of ROMANS A Study of Chapter 8 (part 1) I love the letter of Paul the Apostle to the Christian church in Rome, with chapters 6, 8 & 12 being my favorites, as they contain so much meat of God’s Truth concerning His nature and purpose. Recently I had the opportunity to teach our mid-week...
