    Are you in the Faith, or are you on the Cross?

    The NT tells you, if you are born again, to be "in the faith".....to make certain of this.... 2nd Corinthians 13:5 It does not tell you to be "IN the commandments" or "IN the law", or anything that has to do with performance or self effort .. as how to be "IN the FAITH". Jesus gave you some...

    The Nations were all reached

    Jesus instructed His disciples to go to all nations and preach the gospel and then the end would come. They did go to all the nations and so the end could come (in their lifetime.) In Acts 2:5 Peter preached to "devout men from every nation under heaven." Luke lists the nations this included...

    Your WORKS won't do it.

    There are NO verses in the Bible, both Testaments included... that say Jesus, once in you, will leave you if you are a bad Christian, etc. He is sealed in there, along with the Holy Spirit, unless the bible is lying. Jesus does promise you Eternal Life, and this promise has NO CONDITIONS, once...

    Was It Possible Or Not To Keep the Law of Moses?

    Hi, Doing a study on grace and the fulfilment of the Law at present, and wonder if someone can assist: some texts definitely state that it is not humanly possible to perfectly keep the Law. Thus Paul in Romans 7:14-23, 9:31-32, Peter’s words in Acts 15:10, that the Law was a burden that the...

    ST. PAUL'S LETTER TO THE EPHESIANS 6:10-17

    I have a question about this passage. I had a class dedicated to pastoral care for my MA. In the protestant church, many individuals read this passage before providing pastoral care. In the orthodox faith, is pastoral care the same as it is in other denominations? Prior to my start in orthodoxy...

    Out of Due Time

    … "where was the “Hebrew of the Hebrews” that first Passover when the Lord whom Saul was seeking, suddenly came to His temple (cf. Mal 3:1)? And where was Saul the “final” Passover three years later when “Jesus entered into the temple of God , and [again] cast out all that sold and bought in the...

    An Expeditionary Force of One

    I believe the link below, from which the following excerpt is taken, contains an apt depiction of the history of the Body of Christ. Let me know what you think. “… The “consummate” mission, begin with an expeditionary force of “one” conscripted on the road to Damascus (cf. Act 9:15), baptized...

    Why is there hatred of St. Paul?

    It has been present since old times since he had to defend his apostleship and keeps coming not only from Jews, Muslims, and atheists but even from people who called themselves Christians. I don't think any of the Apostles is as controversial as him.

    Artemis priestess- prostitute or prom queen?

    Reading the bible recently with a focus on Ephesus in Ephesians and the letters to Timothy the significance of Artemis worship as a challenge to Christianity seemed quite apparent. There are some verses in these Pauline texts that also get him in trouble with modern feminists saying that a,woman...

    Escaping The Trap of Legalism.... pt 2

    So, in this Thread, which is the sister Thread regarding the one i wrote to you yesterday, .. in this one i want to drill down deeper. Now, we are talking about "Legalism" which is not a word found in the NT, yet, Paul wrote an entire letter to the Galatians, that is talking to, and about...

    New Definition For Faith

    What do you think of my new definition of faith? My goal here isn't to replace the original definition of faith but rather compliment it. Probably the most quoted definition of faith from the bible is from Hebrews 11:1 where Paul says in (KJV) 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for...

    Ashamed of the Gospel?

    I’m new to rightly dividing and new to being open about my faith in general. My awareness of Paul and his gospel of faith by grace not works is still very much a hyper awareness with all the joy of blessings, new understanding of the Bible as I read it with new eyes and enthusiasm for sharing...

    Does the Pope have the authority to ordain "female priests"?

    *You are in the Catholic Forum*. I was arguing in a thread that there will never be a female priest in the Catholic Church; however; a Catholic user said that it is possible if a Pope dictates it and it didn't matter if Paul said otherwise but since the Pope had more authority than Paul then it...

    Faith vs Works

    Galatians 3 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But...

    All Are Yours!

    “Whether Paul or Apollos, or Cephas, or the World, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s”—1 Corinthians 3:22-23 Christians are on polar, erroneous extremes concerning the gifts of God to his children – the Church. Hence...

    Hello everyone! This will be a bit of a lengthy thread, so I'll add a tl;dr at the end. I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread section, I wasn't sure which section to post in, since they all seem fairly specific. Christian advice seemed appropriate, but I can repost elsewhere if necessary...

    What Paul Prayed For: A Prophetic Parable And Pattern For The Church

    Someone has rightly observed and perhaps curious to know why most of my articles or teachings are heavily tilted towards prayer? As I write this I recollect a visiting guest minister to our church in the south western part of Nigeria, Ondo, making a comment during his message that I was a man of...

    Paul, the Apostle came to me in a dream- I'm confused

    I really would like some advice on what you guys think my recent dream meant. I dreamt that I was catching a charter bus somewhere (not sure where) and Paul was the bus driver. When I walked on the bus and paid my fare I didn't recognize him (I have heard of him but have never really known who...

    New Movie, Paul-Apostle of Christ

    March 23, 2018 is the release date. From what I read, this could be a decent biblical movie, and not another Hollywood version of the bible. You will recognize Jim Caviezel, who portrayed Jesus in Passion of the Christ. He plays the Apostle Luke. James Faulkner, who plays Paul, has acted in...
