Jesus said, "He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me, and the Father will love him, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." Salvation clears our way to the Lord by removing our sin from before him. Once sin is removed, we are able to commune with the...

Think of faith as a muscle that is used to get things done, it doesn't just sit there; existing. The gifts of the Spirit function by faith, if you don't believe in them, you'll never use your gift(s), which scripture teaches we all have. Our prayer requests are also obtained of the Lord by our...

I took that to mean that Jesus wasn't praying for them in that prayer at that time. "God is not slack, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us ward, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance."

When Jesus entered the heavenly temple as the High Priest of the New Covenant, he purchased our atonement with his blood, as our kinsman redeemer under the law; taking our sin and the curse of the law upon himself by taking our place. To my thinking: God's law; being holy, good, and...

"For without faith it is impossible to please him, but we must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Faith is a miracle from Jesus that is given to those who believe God's word in their day of salvation and who respond to the Holy Spirit's call and...

If that which is perfect has come, then we all no longer know in part, but now know as we are ourselves are known of the Lord and we would no longer see the truth through a glass darkly; which would mean that there are no more disagreements over doctrines among the faithful. lol

I did note that John was told not to tell us what the last vial judgement was going to be in Rev, which may correspond to that shorting of those days...

Hey Keith... Nope! Which is my point: that verse alone keeps everyone from knowing the day or the hour.

1 Jn 1: 1 KJV "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." Jam 5: 16 KJV "Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth; and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth a sinner from the...

Eph 4: 14 KJV "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro , and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the slight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive."

Grace and faith work hand in hand to obtain the blessing!

No matter what anyone believes regarding how the tribulation will play out; Mt 24: 21, 22 "For then shall be the great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved: but...

Being tempted is not a sin. Dwelling upon it... Maybe so. KJV "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Or in the NAS "The mind set upon the Flesh is death, but the mind set upon the Spirit is life and peace." And; "For the weapons of our warfare...

There is a world of difference between believing in Jesus and faith in Jesus. I suspect that many Christian Church members, just like the Islam believer with Ala, believe in Jesus, but have never repented so that Jesus would forgive them. A person can believe whatever he wants and then do...

Baptism Heb 6:1, 2 KJV "Therefore leaving the principals of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and...

Hey Aaron... PTL! I know this is off topic, but here's a minor observation: Moses saw the Lord as he passed by, though it wasn't face to face in Ex 34: 1-8. Ex 34:5, 6 KJV "And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. And the Lord passed by...

Thank you for the warnings. Sadly, it's seemingly all to easy and more and more common now-a-days for believers to go off on a tangent as they hurry to understand doctrines and spiritual truths. Scripture warns us all that if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing as he ought...

Pr 6:2 KJV "Thou art snared by the words of thy mouth, thou art taken by the words of thy mouth." Another example of using a negative scripture positively can be done by snaring ourselves from speaking the Lord's word. A word of caution: This doesn't work for understanding doctrines!

2 Cor 10: 4, 5 KJV "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."...
