Salvation does not include works. One is saved at the moment of conversion and the Holy spirit is now in residence in the repentant believer. Afterwards, 1st John says, "But whoso keeps his word, in him verily is THE LOVE OF God PERFECTED, hereby know we that we are in him". I am not going to...

Jesus, the second Adam had "emptied" himself to be a man. John 1:14 "and the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us". Jesus, now the man, but filled with the Holy Ghost, and sent by God to live a perfect life of obedience, fulfilled the requirements for a sinless redeemer. On the cross, Jesus, the...

There is coming a day when God will judge ALL unrighteousness. Meanwhile, we are not in any position to be judges of people's HEARTS nor to set anyone at nought, nor wish God would send fire down from heaven and consume them. You and I are required to pray for the lost and for each other, not...

The plan of God was to redeem a people from the ends of the earth. Adam and Eve were not the "end all" but the beginning. God placed two trees in the garden, that would give the two a choice. When Adam and Eve gave into temptation and chose to be disobedient, the plan of God began. Ahead would...

The WILL of God is over his Words and over his Spirit. In a parabolic definition, the will of God is the Father, His Words would be subject to, therefore the Son, and the Holy Character of God, his Spirit.

By saying our words can "save us", meaning repentance and confessing Christ. Words said in unbelief or liars, can condemn us. "By thy words, thou shall be justified and by thy words thou shall be condemned. Matthew 12: 36,37. Most of the words that come out of the mouth reveal the condition of...

"As I live says the lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his...

Fruits are simply behaviours that originate from the character of that person. Simply put, there are just two choices each day that we must make: To do what is right, or to do what is wrong. The ideal is to obtain the fruit of the Spirit through obedience. The choices we make are ours, the fruit...

Too much of what we think of as "love" is based on our emotions and not actions. Do a word study from your concordance, on love, (KJV), and begin with 1st. John 2: 3-6. Too much of this word love is understood by what I feel, and not towards what I am doing. For example, John 3:16 shows the...

Our words can save or condemn us.

There is only ONE God. The OVERALL WILL of God, is referred to as the Father, His own WORDS as the Son (in subjection to the speaker) and The Spirit is the character OF God which is Holiness. Some of the confusion is seeing Jesus as a separate entity, where in fact he is now the WORDS of God in...

"The Law is holy, and just, and good": Romans 7: 12,13. The Law does not kill, the PENALTY for breaking the Law kills. When the Bible says, " the Law kills, but the Spirit gives life, it refers to our weakness of our flesh to obey the Law consistently. Thus, "the Law kills".

It's not salvation WITH works, but salvation THAT works. The FRUIT of salvation is the doing of good, coupled with the resistance of evil. For example if I had planted a tomato plant but it produced nothing, then my investment was without worth. So is the one who receives salvation but his...

The whole issue is who has authority in the local church. There is no qualifying scripture for women to do so as like the men have. The men are given the authority and role of leadership regarding preaching and teaching in the general assembly in the church. It is such an issue that 1Corinthians...

On the inside, Jesus was the "word of God made flesh. On the outside, he was the "second Adam" that completed all requirements to be saviour through his overcoming of the world, the flesh, and temptations of the devil. Only God, His words made flesh, were perfect enough to be a sufficient...

I would like to address Galatians 3:28. This is another scripture that is quoted by women that is misunderstood because of lack of context. The sense, or context begins at verse 22 and addresses ALL people that they are all sinners without exception. All verse 26 and 27 is saying is, is that God...

I think some of the confusion regarding faith, and or works, comes from the new translations wherein it tells us we are "being saved" which may imply to some that salvation is not complete at conversion. Romans 8:8,9. tells us that SALVATION, or conversion, has been completed by the indwelling...

Beautiful art, but Jesus was not a white man, nor was he of tall stature, nor good looking. Isaiah 53:2. The inner qualities of Jesus were, and are beautiful, not the outer appearance that we see in most depictions of him in pictures.
