    There should be a word for, "God drinks our sin up like water."

    There ought to be a single word that references the fact that God drinks up our sin like water. I'm referring to the forbearance and grace of God, who apparently, though he requires obedience and holiness, is not surprised by the sin that so easily besets us, including the horror of outright...

    Old - New Covenants Parsed

    Long before any Mosaic covenant Adam sinned against His creators God breathed rule. Point: No Mosaic law doesn't mean, No, laws at all. The Mosaic covenant was between God & the Nation of Israel only (Ex 19:3 & ALL the Israelis Agreed to it Ex 19:8) Under the Mosaic Covenant obedience to it's...

    Some Really Good News

    Impute Theology: Google ascribe (righteousness, guilt, etc.) to someone by virtue of a similar quality in another. "Christ's righteousness has been imputed to us" It's Christ's righteousness (Jer 23:6 & 33:16) imputed/transferred (Rom 4:3-8) onto us & our sins are imputed/transferred onto...

    Faith alone is required for salvation & You're not under Mosaic law!

    Ex 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that "the LORD doth put a difference between the Nations and Israel". (MY NOTE: The LORD put a difference between all other 69 (Gen 10) Nations & Israel/His chosen...

    In Our Weakness, God Is Glorified.

    The popular star psychologist, Jordan Peterson, has stated, "Who dares say they believe in God!" or something similar. In a similar vein, I pose the question in an alternate way, "Who dares say they want to know the full extent of their sin!" In the glimpses I have had of my sin, it shows me how...

    Must one have the help of Divine grace in order to love their neighbors as themselves?

    On the one hand, it would seem grace is not necessary. The principle, ought implies can, suggest as much. If we are commanded to love our neighbors it seems would should be able to do so without special divine help. On the other hand, if we could fulfill the command without divine help, then...

    Law - Grace - Curse - Redemption - Righteousness

    Jn 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (MY NOTE: Grace = our undeserved/unworked for favor/blessing from God. Is accessed through our faith placed in Christ's sin atoning death & resurrection) Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye...

    If a mutation can develop, a mutation can decay?

    Hi there! So I am just wondering where you stand on this: its basically a question aimed at whether the working component of Evolution ("mutation") is able to be polarized, or not? Like when you are in a car, you say "if I can turn left, I can turn right" - the whole premise of steering is not...

Yes, we all Should "be Rapture ready" But, Should we not Also "fulfil God's Purpose" For us, Get HIS Great GRACE Gospel to the lost, finding the "last member" Of The Body Of CHRIST, And, Then...

    Orthodox Perspective: Is Salvation by faith alone or by works?

    In the 3 minute video Father Spyridon says at the end: "Salvation is a free gift BUT we must work and repent in order to enable ourselves to receive God's grace." That seems like a contradiction, so I'm hoping those who are Orthodox can sort it out for me. A youtube comment talked about...

    If I consistently show you, that I am adapting, but the adaptations are not from a monkey, then...?

    Hi there, So yes, I feel like any place would be as good as any other to proclaim, that I have made my "peace" with 'Evolution'. I understand that without Evolution, my definition as a human, would not be as "pronounced" and I understand that what I think is "pronounced" may not last to the...

    Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword: you are guilty if you *don't* want to fight someone!

    Hi there, So, this is just a short thought: Premise one: Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword (He said) Premise two: the truth condition of a sword, is given by the question "who is it against?" Premise three: Jesus' Word, is always true Conclusion: there is always someone, whom...
