Reader, When a person hears the "Gospel", as, "faith comes by hearing" ... then this faith is proof something happened in the heart of the Believer that God SEES... as "God sees the heart" And what is that, that God sees that has happened inside you? God sees your "repentance" ....that is of...

- Reader... Sin is a literal manifestation of the Carnal or "adamic nature". By "one man's sin", SIN, = entered into the world and "death by sin" came upon all humans. But that is not where sin originated...... See, all SIn is , "as rebellion"..... So, that leads to the original Rebel...

- Going to Heaven.... Reader.. Christianity is spiritual. "God is A Spirit". The bible teaches us that the things we can see are going to go away, turn into nothing, and the things we can't see are ETERNAL. YOU are a spirit being, who is living inside a currently aging toward death, body...

- Paul tells us to put on the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6. So. reader....who's armor is it? A.) ITs Gods. So this means its Spiritual, and you can't see it or provide it for yourself. What does that mean? It means : 1.) you don't work for it, 2.) and you don't strive to have it, 3.)...

What does it mean to be born again.. 1.) Your sins are on Christ because "God made JESUS to be sin for us, who knew no sin"..... And God's Righteousness has become yours, as you have become "the Righteousness of God in Christ"....."made Righteous". This is : "Salvation". This is "Redemption"...

- Paul teaches that : "Christ always gives (us, him) the Victory". What Victory? What is Paul's context? Listen.. "Victory", is deliverance from and over .... the world, your flesh, and the devil....at all times. At all times.... So, Why dont most believers exist in that Victory that Christ...

- Before Paul was born again, he said that he had been "" blameless in the law."" He had kept it, and later found that Christianity is not based on that,..... and discovered that in his inner man there is a tremendous conflict that occurs if he tried to strive to be holy in his flesh, (self...

- Reader... How do you get the victory over your flesh, the world and the devil? How? How do you end up here......."i can do ALL things Through Christ, which Strengthens me", and. "Christ ALWAYS gives me the Victory"... over the the flesh, the world and the devil. How do you go...

Starting with a viewpoint of theology, God is love, all good, light and no darkness in Him. And God is all powerful. Together with 1 Tim 4:10. KJV: "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that...

In reading a thread on whether or not our Lord Jesus Christ is actually St. Michael the Archangel (he isn’t), I came across this post, which I felt interesting enough to warrant a thread, as I believe, as did Martin Luther and John Calvin, that this is a grave mistake and also points to one of...

The entire bible...both Old and New Testament, is "how God is doing something, being revealed over time". And what is He revealing? He's revealing "I am Holy, you are not, and here is why.....and here is how I SOLVED IT". The entire central principal core of the Bible...

The ever-ready reply of Calvinists to objections is, "You don't understand Calvinism!" In truth it seems that many opponents understand Calvinism much better than so-called Calvinists. In fact the common objections are well-founded in John Calvin's own words. The only misrepresentation...

I am selling my entire Logos Bible Software Library for $1975! I Purchased Reformed Bronze a few years ago and have added hundreds of $$$ worth of additional resources. I am currently trying to sell the entire library as one whole set. If you purchased each resource individually it would be...

Calvin emphasized the importance of the natural order. I. John Hesselink writes in Calvin's Concept of the Law: I am not aware of anyplace that Calvin says that miracles can't happen because they violate the laws of nature. However, he seems very skeptical of miracles, and when he considers...

Jesus said that he was the "morning star". Do we have any clear meanings in scripture about the Messiah being the morning star? Jesus told us to search the scriptures because they speak of him. And Jesus' way to do this meant to see deep, hidden meanings in things, like when he said Moses'...

Lutheran Communion I read in several works that Lutherans criticized the Reformed (Calvin and Zwingli) for basing their exegesis too much on modern Reason. One website notes: Calvin's and Zwingli's belief were that since Jesus' body was up in heaven, it could not be in the bread, while...
