commandments

  1. Are you walking as Jesus walked?

    The scriptures tell us, "By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. If anyone says, "I know Him," but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him...
  2. We Need To Be Christ-like

    Acts 11:1 tells us that Jesus' disciples in Antioch were the first to be called Christians. This was a term to describe those who followed the Christ. The term is also synonymous with the expression "Christ-like" meaning to be like Christ. There are many who make the claim to be a Christian, but...
  3. Is it correct to say, "One aspect of the Bible is that it is like a rule book"?

    Is it correct to say, "One aspect of the Bible is that it is like a rule book"?
  4. Traditions of man - or the Word of God... pick one

    Creative writing is not the same as actual scripture. Christ condemns the idea of editing/ignoring/disregarding the Commands of God as if such a thing is what God calls for in true worship -- in Mark 7:6-13 6 And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is...

    Ethics of lying

    This is something I've always wondered: What are the actual ethics of lying, from a Christian perspective? For example when someone asks you for your opinion and you know the honest answer would hurt them. Or when you are flirting with someone and you exaggerate a bit or pretend to be more...

    The Second Passover Commandments ~ John 15

    As we are finding, within the context of John during the second Passover. We see Jesus as our Passover Lamb who is about to shed His blood over the doorposts of the whole house of Israel. As such, He is giving instructions and commandments to His own, just like God gave them through Moses to...

    The Second Passover Commandments ~ John 14

    In the previous thread I laid out the context for this key chapter. We see that Jesus has gathered for the Passover that precedes His sacrifice. He has cleansed His disciples and gave them a commandment to love each other, and to follow the example Jesus gave them. As we see in John 17...

    The Second Passover Commandments ~ John 13

    My next string of threads will be about the commandments of Jesus during the second (last) Passover, and the verse most misused to justify observance of the Law. This is turning into a mantra of sorts for the Hebrew Roots/SDA movements. They seem to think it is a key verse that proves if you...
  9. What did Jesus mean "If you love me you will keep my commandments?"

    Hey I know this has probably been posted a lot but I have really been thinking about this verse. I realize and believe works DO NOT save us, Jesus sacrifice does. I have been switching my focus from a life of fear to a life of love. I have treated God, and the people I love most as a a result...
  10. 10 And Counting !

    10 and Counting You know, God is precise when it comes to His plans. He does not do fluff! So when He created this Earth, He did it with specific intent and thought of what He wanted to achieve. He commanded and the Word obeyed. He believed that when He spoke, it would be done. Just like every...
  11. Mark of the beast topic - very easy to understand

    Rev 13 - the plan of the devil - his "end game" for mankind. Includes world-wide civil law enforcing his worship of the beast and image program. "The mark of the beast" given out to those who comply with it. Rev 14 the plan of God - his "end game - final warning" for mankind. Includes...
  12. Our hypocrisy as a faith group

    Why is forever truly forever when it comes to hell, but it's suddenly isn't forever when it comes to God's commandments? We strive to tell people where they're going if they don't accept Jesus as their savior and in the same breath we will tell them that the "law was nailed to the cross". I...
  13. Not as Cain

    Monday, February 27, 2017, 11:18 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Seek the Lord.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 1 John 3:11-24 (NASB). Everyone who Hates (vv. 11-17) For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; not...

    I am asking the theologians, is the atheism the sin?

    We are loving the atheists so ultimately high, what the following verses shall be explained. What are the theologians explanations present? Is the atheism sin or not? If not, then does the God bless us to become the atheists? One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing...
