  1. James : explained.

    "faith without works is dead". I will show you my salvation by my FAITH... Lot of confusion about "dead faith", because heretics twist this phrase into "dead salvation" or "lost your salvation". And of course, James is not talking about salvation, he's talking about public discipleship, where...
  2. Stop sinning #2

    - If You are here reading me, its because you are in bondage within the typical cycle of "sinning and repenting" that most Christian live within, as their life also. If you really want to stop this vicious cycle, then you do it not by trying to stop, but by understanding why trying to stop is...
  3. General stuff. 1

    Reader... The bible is an interesting Light. Its words on a page, but its really the Spirit of Revelation, given by God through about 40 authors who produced the spiritual dictation that we read in a 'Holy Bible"... tho some are anything but, however, that's a topic for another Thread. God...
  4. In an Instant = Forever

    - The day we are saved........the very day before, what were we doing? Were you living for God the day before you were saved? NO. You were enjoying SIN. What does this tell us? It tells us that on Saturday we are sinning and enjoying it, and on our way to HELL. John 3:36 Then the very next...
  5. Saints

    In some ways, the phrase "favorite Saint" is a bit humorous, as all the born again are "Saints". God has no favorites , He just has those who do more for Him, and understand more from Him. The Catholic church of course finessed this idea of "Saint" and redefined it and rebranded it as the idea...
  6. How to "Abide" in Christ

    - To "wrongly abide".... is to believe that you keep yourself saved by "abiding" as a self effort. "im doing it, im remaining, im enduring, im abiding"....my effort, myself, its ME doing it.... me, me, me, me, me. In other words...>"by abiding, I keep myself saved". This is "self saving"....this...
  7. No sin found in the Blood Atonement

    - All the born again are become "the righteousness of God in Christ". Is there sin "in Christ? Are the born again "in Christ"? So, that is the reality....The reality is, Colossians 2:13 God has forgiven you ALL your sin. Jesus didn't die for only a part of it. This means if its ALL forgiven...
  8. A Great sinner

    - Simon a Pharisee once invited Jesus to dinner. Jesus accepted the invitation AS they were found discussing many topics...... a woman, defined by the KJV as a Great sinner, and in the "Now" Translation as a harlot/Prostitute.., came into the room were Jesus and Simon were reclining,.. as this is...
  9. Amazing Grace

    What is "Amazing Grace"? Why did the believer write this incredible song? Its because they completely understood: The Cross. Its like this... God completed the entire process of Salvation, for each of the born again...by doing it Himself. = God's Grace. "God who began salvation in the born...
  10. God's Grace is New Life in CHRIST.

    - John 3:16 says that God so loved the world, that He GAVE. "GOD gave". God is a giver. Hes an amazing mixture of Holiness, Love, and Giving. He's always giving. Giving health, giving help, giving answers, giving restoration, giving hope, giving favor, giving Love. Even creation is the...
  11. Let Grace be your home

    - The blood of Jesus keeps paying for sin.......Its an eternal Blood Atonement. It paid for thousands of people's sin today, (newly born again) just like it paid for the "sin of the World", 2000+ yrs ago. John 3:16 Eternal life, that is "in Christ" is not temporary. So, Jesus who Himself IS...
  12. God's Grace

    - The wonder of God's Grace, that many will never understand, is..... To be accepted by God, we have to be as Sinless as Christ. Otherwise, GOD can't have us, or take us. Listen.. We have to be of EQUAL RIGHTEOUSNESS To God, before we can go to heaven. This has to happen BEFORE WE DIE...
  13. More Good News from the Cross

    - Let me tell you something interesting. If you are born again, then your sin, all of it, was paid for by "the FINISHED WORK of Jesus on the Cross". Romans 4:8= then confirms that any "sin" you would engage in, (work of the flesh) after you are saved, ... God does not charge you with...
  14. How the Law harms you.

    - The Law is Holy, but its effect on a human is devastating. The power of SIN, is the LAW. It defines you as a sinner, and this causes you to be spiritually disconnected from God. Once you are (Born again) and """redeemed from the curse of the Law"" by Jesus, then the law has no more power of...
  15. How God did it.

    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...
  16. Time to GROW = start NOW.

    Saint... Its time to put on the big boy pants and get out of the gospel crib. Time to get the thumb out of your mouth and get off the carnal tit. Ready yet? Are you ready to grow up into Christ, or do you just want to stay in the sinning, confessing, repenting, carnal DIAPER..... till you die...
  17. The wrong Cross

    The reason you can't stop wanting to sin, is because you are trying to stop wanting to sin. Fail = TRYING to stop. Here is the issue... The LAW, enflames your flesh. It actually causes your flesh to become activated TOWARDS sinning. See, most believers are taught...>"well, we resist sin and...
  18. To remember no more..

    The end result of salvation, is, that you are accepted by God. = Heaven is gained. Salvation, Grace, the Blood Atonement, (same) is the sole and singular method and entire means that God uses and provides, to accept you, and keep you as His, forever. Some, who are very self righteous, have...
  19. No Sin in Christ

    A born again believer is just as sinless as the righteousness of God can make them, thru the Blood Atonement. There is no sin in Christ, and we are "in Christ". The purpose of God as Jesus coming here was to fulfill the law, which establishes Grace, and to become our sin, which resolved our sin...
  20. What to do about carnal moments.

    Yes, you will have carnal moments. We have a mind, we live in a body, we are surrounded by sensuality and worse. However, You can't walk around with your eyes closed.. So don't confuse a feeling of guilt, with the HS. Many do this... When you have a MENTAL moment that isn't the clean and the...
