"The prophets give false prophecies, and the priests rule with an iron hand. Worse yet, my people like it that way! But what will you do when the end comes?"
Jeremiah 5:31

We are told clearly...

Certainly, if a man is found continually pressing into the kingdom, ever increasing in his faith in Christ, I agree. But we must be careful for the word of God clearly says that the grace of God, if...

Frecs, I agree, that is the way it should work, but if we are honest here, is it really working that way in real life? If what you propose is true, would we not see seventy and eighty year old men...

Or a heart transplant. :) We cannot kill self. But we are told that when Christ died, we are to understand that we died too, and we are to arm ourselves with this understanding. We are told we are...

I would say absolutely that the two are intertwined on both situations. The word says "How can you believe that receive honor one of another and seek not for the honor that comes from God above?"
...

As to how much sin is allowed in a man's life where he can still get into Heaven, I do not have the answer. I do know that our hearts should want all sin gone so that we can obey God at all times and...

Amen, Crossnote. The question is, how many believe it? In our generation of costless Christianity, many are finding it difficult or impossible to believe the promises of God, because the yileding up...

The old nature is, at its core, after what it wants rather than what God wants. It is not submitted to His authority and seeks its will before it seeks the will of God. It is self personnified. Every...

Sure, let me see if I can make it clear. Suppose a man has a specific achilles heel sin. He is often tempted to succumb to it and yet hates it at the same time. He simply cannot get the victory, try...

Brother, I have answered as well as I can. I am truly sorry if you cannot understand it. Does God want us to not sin and is he willing to take responsibility to see to it that it happens, if we...

I think you are absolutely spot on in this post. What would happen to a church that was "desperate", that refused to move until God moved on them to fill them with His love, caused them to become...

Is it possible? Absolutely, if we continue to abide in Him. We never become "sinless". But is God able to keep us from falling? Absolutely.

In the book of Acts, the early Christians, filled with the spirit, were so filled with love for one another that they shared all things common. Those that had plenty had nothing left over. Those that...

My dear brother, I know you are frustrated and confused, and hopefully that comes from a hungry heart. Often the two seem to walk together.To your second question, we never "arrive". We glow with His...

Dear HL. you are absolutely correct, it is not what is being spoken of in this post. The victory I speak of is victory over our old nature, a nature that wants to to its will, not God's. it is a...

Dear UM, I am so sorry that pain is part of your walk. I know full well how hard that can be to bear. My heart goes out to you.

As saved said, i am not speaking of healing but of walking in...

First of all, let me say you are absolutely correct. Who though is a "plillar of the church"? Anyone with enough faith to believe. But if they do have enough faith to believe for miracles, typically...

Roger, I am simply saying God was not mouthing idle words when He promised to make us overcomers, when He told us we would not be tempted above that which we are able to bear, when He said sin shall...

New Living Translation (©2007)
They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.

International Standard Version (©2008)
They will hold to an outward form of...

Brackish- even the word conjures up yucky images. What is it? It is the waters where a river of fresh water empties into salt water and the result is water that is neither fresh nor salty. It has...

Roger, it matters not whether or not you believe me (but I pray you do), but the truth is I read the word, period. I have read Charles Finney, Andrew Murray, Leonard Ravenhill, C.S. Lewis, David...

You misunderstand. I said nothing about going deeper than the love of God. That is impossible.

I said the problem in us goes deeper than just "making a choice to love others as we love ourselves...

Brother, we have had this discussion before but can you provide me with scriptural proof that the church of God will never be found in error? I can give you 10 that says it can. Is there a pure...

Good answer. May I suggest a slight edit? Let me know what you think.

I believe that it is us being 'in' him & being empowered by Him "in us" to cause us (Ezekiel 36:26) to do as we are told to...

In all my dealings with you, you simply come back with one liners. You never go in depth to ask a question, you simply say "What does that mean?" and when an explanation is given you offer another...

Actually, I did quote what Jesus said, it is found in Luke 6:24.

"But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation."
Luke 6:24

I could say I do not like someone not...

Brother, all I am doing is exactly what the scriptures say to do. The twisting of the scriptures is needed to make the word of God NOT teach that sin shall be a defeated foe in our lives. I do not...

I remember Jesus saying in the sermon on the mount:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God."

Of course we know there is no blessing in being impoverished, other than...

It seems to me many Christians today are not walking in power but rather are found hanging on by their fingernails, feeling like they must be the only ones who feel as they do, that they are...

I agree totally. Now to the real question. If we as His body are not loving our neighbor as ourself and not loving AGod with ALL of hearts, minds, spuls and strength, what is the cause of this. Is...
