    Engaging Fellow Christians with Grace and Truth

    So, you think I am a luke warm Christian? You know nothing about me. It is true that the Holy Spirit points us to the teaching of Jesus, but He does more than that. He is voice of Jesus. Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall...

    Engaging Fellow Christians with Grace and Truth

    I have no problem with ending this conversation. However, your caveat is no contradiction. I put the teaching of the HS in context of what the apostle John had to say about recognizing anti-christ in people once claiming to be Christians. This is the same thing as saying the HS lets us see...

    Engaging Fellow Christians with Grace and Truth

    Jesus said we will know them by their fruits. His context was wolves in sheep's clothing, but it goes the other way, too. So, I agree with you to an extent. However there are many people who call themselves Christians, but have never had the new birth and are trying to earn their salvation...

    Engaging Fellow Christians with Grace and Truth

    I understand your point. Even with his teachings there is disagreement with true followers of Christ what different teachings mean. This is why Paul tells us that every man has to be persuaded in his own heart. We are, from what we understand in our heart, to obey Jesus, for whatsoever is not...

    Engaging Fellow Christians with Grace and Truth

    Joh_14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. Obedience is the fruit of our love for Jesus because we know him and know how good he is. We don't obey him to prove our love, or earn his love. It is the natural organic response to him who first loved us.

    Engaging Fellow Christians with Grace and Truth

    It is not difficult to define. Anyone has not surrendered his life to Christ, acknowledging their sins need salvation, and believe in their hearts that God became the man Christ Jesus to live the perfect life we could not, and placed his wrath on himself to punish our sins rising again on the...

    Meaning of Life

    Jer_18:6 “House of Israel, can’t I do with you as this potter?” says Yahweh. “Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel. Rom 8:28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose...

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    So how are men of the non Protestant not men too? How did the non Protestant groups know what documents were in the canon? Was it not by the same method? Councils agreed in the different groups what is in the canon. Are not the men in councils still men? Look, I did not realize this was an...

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    The Spirit is not emotion. He communicates to us by intuition and revelation. The heart is desperately wicked for the unregenerate, but not in those who have died with Christ and raised with him to life. The new birth provides a new spirit and a new heart. Eze_11:19 I will give them one...

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    Yes, another has pointed that out. I said nothing against either Catholic or Orthodox views, only that they are the ones who can explain the spiritual pov in those books.

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    My mistake. I did not know that Maccabees is in the Orthodox writ as well. However, my advice to him still remains. If he wants to understand the spiritual point of view that the Orthodox see in the text, then he will get that answer from them. I merely said it is not in Protestant Bibles...

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    Sensing the Spirit is not logic, but experience. If you try to understand Holy Writ by logic, you are using a bad criteria. Mormons do not have the new birth. 1Co 2:14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them...

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    First of all, I had nothing to do with the canon of Scriptures. I simply meant that the apocrypha are not included in the Protestant Bible. However, I have read both 1st and 2nd Maccabees and many other of the Apocryphal documents. If you are born again and Spirit filled, you can sense the...

    Why Fake News Works

    Thank you for sharing this. Cognitive dissonance is a huge factor in one's inability to discern the truth. This is more of an emotional element. We all know that animals are slaughtered so we can eat them, but few would be willing to do the slaughtering then eat them. Education, as in having...

    What's the meaning of 1st Maccabees?

    1st & 2nd Maccabees are historical documents, canonized by Roman Catholics, but rejected by Protestants. For us protestants it is historical information that helps bridge the gap between Malachi and Matthew. If there is any spiritual significance, you will have to wait for one of the Catholics...

    does anyone here remove blood from their meat before cooking it? should i be doing this or not?

    No he doesn't. That was James in the counsel of Acts deciding that gentiles are not bound to the Mosaic law, but the Noahic prohibitions.

    Submission and obedience.

    We submit unto God and trust God when we submit unto others. The fear is submitting unto others, not God. Others can be in error. The greater our trust in God, the greater our trust in others will be. Conversely, the less we trust others, it means neither do we trust God. When we trust God...
