    The following verses answer all of those that you posted. John: 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 “It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL...

    Faith and Obedience

    Wow! I wish we could sit down and talk for a few months and work through all of these things that you keep going on about. So much of your responses and bible quotes are responding to things that I am not saying and others are not consistent with an understanding of the Cross and the work of...

    Faith and Obedience

    It is so easy to pigeon hole people isn't it? This is one of the problems with factions--the spirit behind it seeks to build walls between brothers and sisters and to set one against the other. This is the greatest sorrow of the 'Church Age' and what grieves our Father more than any other. I...

    Faith and Obedience

    This is very good. Very good indeed. You have illustrated wonderfully, just what I meant when inferring how easily scriptures--particularly NT letters can be twisted to mean what isn't said and why it is so important to first be well grounded in the simplicity of the Gospel of Life and...

    You must have misunderstood me. I did not mean that at all. I know well that is not the case. Now I see at least in part what you are struggling against.

    Your responses don't seem to be related to mine. What is it that you are struggling against?

    What is it exactly that you are struggling against, here? As for have a battle of scripture, I won't do that. I have done far more than enough of that over the years. What I will do is beg those reading to seek their Lord as little children without understanding and to ask Him to reveal...

    Regardless of where any of us stand on doctrine--we will all be judged in that great day. All of the things we have done in the flesh since Salvation will be judged to be this or that. These things will be obvious at that time. What I am saying is simple. Its not these works of either wood hay...

    Faith and Obedience

    You have made my point and the same can be repeated over and over again when reading scripture. There are many apparent contradictions---one must come to understand first Life and the Life Giver. Not the penned words, but the Lord behind them. Come to 'know' Him and He will reveal Himself to...

    My friend--I could quote you scriptures all day that are contrary to the meaning you assign to these. "I will never leave you or forsake you" We are adopted. To understand the work of the Cross and the nature of the Life of God In Christ that we have been given first and foremost--is required in...

    Yup--I simply can't fathom how believers can add works of men to the Grace of God in the work of Christ to gain salvation. It boggles the mind.

    What do you say is required?

    Faith and Obedience

    Men continue to do what men have done since the tree of knowledge. Think too much and devise ways to build a tower to God. This is tragic, as God has made the way for us through Christ. My friends--we try to complicate the Gospel and so many have done a masterful 'natural man' job of it. No...

    Faith and Obedience

    Let me add a thought or two that have probably already been mentioned one way or the other. Does it make sense that the Jewish Christians in the early Church (who were steeped so to speak in the law and feasts) continued celebrating these in part because they saw the deeper meaning in them...
