cross

Luke 9:23 ESV “And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’” If we want to believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, to approach or to move toward him, we must deny (refuse, repudiate) ourselves. We must reject...

Hi there, *ouch*

Hi there, Frequently we talk about the remnant being saved, in the Old Testament - but few realise that the remnant being saved, extends to the remnant of God. The just shall live by faith, this extends even to God - He must endure destruction, that is the destruction of His Power, to secure...

Hi there, So yes, a word of hope here: it is possible to tame your psychosis - in a manner of speaking. Initially, schizophrenia (for example) can be very wild and unchecked, but with proper self-care (meditation, diet, medication - to an extent - exercise), you can reach a point, where you...

I've read and thought about this question quite a lot and tbh I'm nowhere near understanding it. As I understand it, the Bible says that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. My understanding of sin is that it is a missing of the mark of our true humanness which is to be image...

Hi there! So we have a demonic tradition, that we sacrifice ourselves to Christ and "give our life" to Him - when what we should be doing is confessing - and then we "make Him" Lord - when what we should be doing is taking up or cross: that's fine (as long as we are not forcing others to do...

Hi there, So just to comfort those who are true to the faith, I want to reiterate the testimony the High Priest gave of Jesus (that it must be, that Jesus was crucified, for the sake of the people) in the context of the anti-Christ. The anti-Christ must come to power, than that the people be...

I just want to praise and thank Jesus for the victory in my life. He has overcame all things, therefore I can overcome all obstacles on my life. To perform His perfect will, and accomplish His calling on my life.

Resurrection Day celebration is a few days away. 4/12/2020 It'll be one of the largest harvest's of Soul's in 2000 yrs. What started as a virus, is going to result in a huge amount of people turning to the Cross and being born again. Thank you Jesus !

It's getting near Easter! We celebrate the cross and resurrection because it was the apex of human history. We agree that the earth-shattering sacrifice on Calvary was the fulfillment of that which was written. Why is it then that there isn't unanimous agreement about the date of the...

The Greek word stauros means ‘stake’, ‘pole’ or ‘post’; but it is always translated ‘cross’ in the New Testament. When a banner or image is attached to a pole, it becomes a standard. This is the imagery from the Old Testament that Yeshua uses to teach on His purpose. John 3:14, 15. And as...

Hi there, So I posted something about seeing the cross in a Jewish way. My friend HARK! asked me to post here. The point was simply this: people see in the cross, what they want to see. The foundation for this observation was simply thus: people of the world, do not know how to distinguish...

(Update: The answer is that it looks like it is not a common idea, as Charlesworth's source, a German Encyclopedia, apparently only cites the Gospel of Peter as an early writing with this idea.) Book VI of the Sibylline Oracles has an address to the Cross: James Charlesworth writes in his...

Jesus' number 1 job was to be the "lamb that was slain" to take away our sins. His blood being spilled satisfied the Father that justice had been achieved. Heb 9:22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of...

Hi, many times I have heard well meaning Christians say something akin to I am (or my sin is) responsible for driving the nails into Christ, hanging Him on the cross, His crucifixion, or something like that. I'm looking for the specific verse(s) that say that. Not imply, but say it. Not looking...

Hi there, So yes, John talks of the Holy Spirit doing three things: convicting of sin, righteousness and judgment. But elsewhere it says He will not talk on His Own Authority; not seeking His Own Authority means that He will be compelled to weigh the "authority" of others, in a sense weighing...

Hi there, So I was reluctant to make this a thread, since it is only hanging on by a question of sacrifice - nothing else - but I thought "that is the sacrifice the Lord made, its the same thing". So here goes... What if I continue to show the same pitance (meant as an extension of the word...

Hi there, So as Revelation tells us, the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. This means that specific things Jesus said, have a prophetic power, compared with the context for which they were meant. Take "I did not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfil it", in the Spirit of Prophecy...

Hi there, So just a little misconception that the Lord showed me had room to develop: Christian culture says "the day will come when the Holy Spirit will be taken out of the way" (based on Thess.). But what or who has the strength to manipulate where the Holy Spirit is or is not? The answer to...

Hi folks, here's a great new Christmas song. Hope you enjoy it.
