    The Solitariness of God

    Right :) God doesn't need our permission to do anything. He doesn't need our consent. He doesn't need our obedience for something to happen. He doesn't need our good works. Or our fruits. His will be done...not ours :)

    Cold air returns

    Your gas fireplace might have bugs building their web in the gas line! Ours is blocked so I shut the pilot light off so we don't waste gas. Having the pilot light on actually uses a small amount of gas. Yes, we're that frugal!! We'll get the gas line cleared out of bugs whenever it's time to...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 5

    Letting my stomach rest after eating stir fry for lunch before I workout. I was running a small fever yesterday so I'm not sure I want to go outside to walk though.

    Jewish Weddings and the New Covenant

    Modern weddings are not the same as what we see from the Old Testament. Jesus spoke of the bride and bridegroom because the Jews could relate and knew what was involved in a marriage. The Father normally wanted to search out the perfect bride for his son. Marriages were arranged by the father...

    "Optional" activities in the church

    I don't mind belonging to a church that offers activities to the members. I've belonged to churches that had some things listed but not a bowling alley or coffee shop! There are some lonely people who like being with other Christians. The flip side is that if all the Christians are hanging out...

    Crucified with Christ

    A covenant was always binding and the covenant was agreed to by the two parties...the bride was not the one involved in the arrangement. If you look at history, you'll see that the Father was the one wanting to find a bride for his son. He searched out for the perfect one and then paid a price...

    Crucified with Christ

    If Rachel hadn't said yes she would have broken the covenant that her father already agreed to. Think of Mary. She was already betrothed to Joseph and if she rejected him once she was told she was carrying Jesus then it would have been breaking the covenant. It would have been scandalous.

    Crucified with Christ

    The cross would be the hook but there is no good analogy equivalent to what baptism would be in that picture unless we say an ear tag for the sheep is baptism. And I say that because our baptism is our identity. God marks us as His own just like a sheep might get marked (today with an ear...

    Crucified with Christ

    I'm curious what you're talking about in reference to obey and being a puppet? I've heard other evangelicals complain about some puppet on a string theory but I don't see Paul complaining anywhere in the bible about it. When people use things such as that to make their case that isn't found in...

    Crucified with Christ

    But he was still the son. He didn't have to decide to become it. The Father made him the son just like our Father makes us His children. When we fall away from faith we can turn around to Him in repentance but we can't make ourselves first be the child.

    Cold air returns

    There are only cold air returns on the ceiling? I have cold air returns near the ceiling and near the floor. In the winter I close the ones near the ceiling and in the summer I close the ones near the floor. It's supposed to help with recirculating the air according to whether the heat or air...

    Crucified with Christ

    When the shepherd discovers one of his sheep is off the ledge of a cliff and has to use his shepherds hook to rescue him (saving him), the sheep doesn't contribute to his being rescued. The sheep doesn't decide to follow the shepherd. The sheep doesn't even maneuver himself to the hook to be...

    Crucified with Christ

    Lutherans don't look at moments of conversion like other evangelicals do. Scripture never gives the command to "ask Christ into our hearts" so that is something we do not do and don't see that as conversion since man isn't in control of conversion as it's God's work. Baptism is also God's work...

    Is Immersion required by Scripture when a baptism is performed?

    Scriptures states in the NT that pieces of furniture were baptized...but they were big pieces and it wouldn't be practical to immerse them. So they were "washed" which is another definition of the word. (It's in Mark 7:1-4 about the tables and there is another verse that states couch but I can't...

    Is Immersion required by Scripture when a baptism is performed?

    If you've ever gone down to a river valley, you would notice that after you're done in the water you "come up from it". That doesn't mean you were immersed in the water.

    Crucified with Christ

    Galatians 2:20-21 is related to our baptism! In our baptism we are given new life in Christ :) Every day we should remember our baptism and know that Christ is in us and be assured of his Love and Salvation. Romans 6:3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were...

    "Post-NT" doctrine literature

    1 Corinthians 15:3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received—that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures Christ died for our sins. When other religions state otherwise they give a false gospel.
