    Bro Dan Something to think about when we get born again we repent is the word metanoia[which means to have a change of mind or different mind set then remission of sins is aphesis[ the sending away like its gone and forgotten].

    In Acts 2:38 the word says repent get a different mind set then get born again and receive remission of sins

    forgiven and forgotten by believing Romans 10:9+10. Now the work in this is to continue in the good works of walking in faith not that were saved by works two totally different things. Now when we sin not on purpose that is where we confess

    the sin we currently have done 1 John 6-10 and were back in harmony the state of being in fellowship but at no time were we not his son. Notice where we can be tricked if we lie and say we don't sin dishonest in our walk.

    This is where the enemy tricks many christians out of there spiritual walk and inheritance.

    There is a major different biblically between repent remission and forgiveness first one our job second one Gods job third one out job and Gods already done Job in Christ jesus.

    Now this is the age of Grace not saying a believer has a license to do whatever he wants that is a total abuse of our freedom in christ his desire should be to do what God wants, unfortunately like you shared there are people

    that think it is ok to do whatever they want no its not, but that is the trick of the enemy the believer will loose His love joy peace of mind and go back to carnal ways but His spirit is perfect two totally different things. God Bless Just sharing Bro.

    Hello S Spenser . I have definately heard more than one say that they are not baptized and more than one give a lengthy exposition on why they think it's not required . I'm not naming names , sorry if you think that's a cop out , I know who they are , they know who they are and you will know also if you dig long and deep enough . They have the choice , I accept that totally but to tell others that it's ok not to is a serious thing to me .

    Brother Ronald:

    This is just an observation of the people around the town I live in, and not an indictment of them are anyone on this forum.

    Most people don't read God's word, much less study it.

    Most have no knowledge of the Kingdom of God, as taught by scripture. They have been taught, believe in Jesus and go to heaven, or if you don't believe, then you go to hell, it's all up yo you.

    They are taught out of the New Testament, with most, seldom ever studying, in depth, the Law and Prophets.

    When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God is at hand, there was no written New Testament, he taught out of the Law and Prophets.

    Jesus speaking one of his parables said:

    Luke 16:31 .....If they hear not Mosses (law) and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

    Acts 28:23 And when they had appointed Paul a day, there came many unto him into his lodging; to whom, Paul expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets, from morning to evening.

    Before the Old Testament was translated into other languages, there is no mention of HELL. One would assume that if there were such a place of torture for sin, the prophets would have never cease warning people. Yet not one word concerning a place called Hell. Likewise not one mention of a place of eternal bliss, called heaven.

    The Kingdom of God is ON EARTH (CHRIST IN YOU), Christ has been calling man into his Kingdom for two thousand years. Those that are NOT CAUSED to hear his call in this AGE, will be resurrected back to their flesh, and Christ and those that WERE CAUSED to hear his call, will judge the earth, and bring the remaining sheep into the fold. This is very evident in the Law and Prophets.

    In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, man uses this parable to teach the doctrine of heaven and hell, Yet JESUS SAID, if they want believe the Law and Prophets, which DOES NOT teach heaven and hell.

    Good morning, There is health in being an ambassador of faithfulness. Proverbs 13:17

    But what does this ambassador represent and and of whom does he speak?

    The King of Peace reigns in health. It is a true message for every ambassador.

    God Bless our faithfulness.

    Hello may god bless you for the work you are doing I am a Christian been so for the last 5 years, my query is when the rapture takes place as is according to 1 thess 4:17 those who are on earth that belong to Christ will caught up with him in the air, does that mean that those who are alive in Christ will not die and go to grave? will our bodies then be changed and we receive our new bodies immediately? If this will be the process what a day that will be.

    hope to hear from you soon, God bless you

    Hi Mishael I believe whatever life form was on earth before God formed Adam and eve was between Genesis 1:1 and 1:3 that is why in genesis 1:28 to replenish the earth, whatever happened between genesis 1:2 had to be catastrophic

    and absolutely destructive in purpose. I don't believe it was of God.

    Brother David,

    I appreciate your input. We are on the same page regarding discontinuing willful sin.

    I was using my message in response to Jesse, and to also to agree with Cowboy, that I do believe (based on scripture) we can lose salvation by willful sinning.

    Many Christians today believe they can continue to live their worldly lives, continue to sin, and still be assured of salvation. This is a very popular belief, and the scriptures are clear - that we must repent, and become obedient. So to continue with this train of thought, We have to change, and participate in our own salvation! Paul states in various scripture - in addition to receiving from Christ - we must also struggle and take action on our part! Yes, I also agree with you that we must strive to be sin free, and when we fall we must seek forgiveness, from God through his son Jesus.

    God Bless.

    Hi Before the incarnation of Jesus My understanding the context of Luke 4:18 is he was in Nazareth of Galilee where he had been raised own home town and keep something in mind these people new Him and the family. When he opened the scrolls and found the place where it was written, [some thing to consider right here is that the scrolls he was reading from had no chapters headings nothing just straight manuscript form] verse 18+19 an interesting detail about that is he closed the book right there and said verse 21 this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears I.e. I'm the anointed one! This was him anouncing in His own home town the beginning of his Ministry.

    Also when he read from from Isaiah 61:1 and not all of two he stopped in the middle because the vengeance of our God does not happen until the Apocalypse when the enemies butt is kicked and all unbelief is wiped out.

    From verse 22 to 27 He's reproving them for their unbelief then it gets hot and they get angry to the point they want to kill him and he walks through them. That's why anytime he went back into his own country he could not do many mighty works because of their unbelief Mathew 13:54-58. You have got to believe to receive anything from God. Like I said this is my understanding.
  • David - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Mishael I'm convinced by scripture that what legally God purchased back for us through Jesus Christ when we are walking in fellowship is as it says in Ephesians 4:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly[over and above anything according to His Word] above all we ask or think according to the power [exercised authority dunamis]

    that worketh in us. We are in a greater position than Adam because Adam blew it when he sinned, we sin not by purpose

    can get forgiveness by confessing broken fellowship and get back on track no other time in History has that been made

    possible by our Father God. By the way like you share in the name of Jesus Christ the enemy has been defeated!

    Hi Gigi If you want to have some fun with the truth of Gods word in regards to stars and planets look up e.w. bullinger's Witness of the stars, fantastic piece of biblical research with incredible detail. Just something to consider, I believe it will bless your life knowing you taught and are into deep research. God Bless It can be found free on line
  • David - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Gigi A few principles I keep in my head all the time in life or situations do not assume of presume anything because that's your natural thinking pattern possibly blocking what God might be telling you to do. This is totally different than common sense planning ahead. One of my favorite scriptures I memorised Philippians 4:8 helps keep the head clear of any negatives. One other thing no matter how a person treats me I remember a certain Guy on a Cross that said forgive them father for they know not what they do! We have no problems forgiving others if you remember what you've been delivered from. I'm no body special, like all of here doing my best to believe and walk in the deliverance paid in full for.

    We need Chris here. Adam was FORMED from the dust. Adams name, means RED. (There's our first color mention). God sculpted him.

    **In Genesis I circled all the words: created, formed, made. I'm sure the Hebrew interpretation gives more light. God created DNA and Atoms. They're still studying that. All is not discovered yet. I'm sure they're cloning people; trying to bring a copy back from the dead. It's Creepy! Robot people! I hate SIRI. She gets it wrong half the time.

    I have suspected that maybe at the Tower of Babel, when the Godhead was discussing the problem together and decided to change languages. People separated and settled in other areas based on language. Maybe the skin colors changed; so if people saw a certain color, they did or did not know that language? I did a whole study on this color thing a year ago. What was notable is that people from Africa, Middle East, all over actually; immigrated by boats, to South and North America and Europe, Islands. It was said some Egyptians were dark skinned due to sun exposure. I don't believe that theory.

    I dont believe in UFO's. Clearly from archaeology and other sciences, before Genesis; there were sort of human looking people on earth. They've found bones, dinosaur bones, etc. they were male, female; found infant bones, cave drawings. Scientists have all kind of THEORIES.

    I used to tell people that we are all going to get the answers we seek, in Heaven. I doubt seriously all angels in heaven look alike, don't you?

    I'm thinking in heaven there's going to be a Genesis 101 class. :/

    And now CRT. I'm against it just because the Bible doesn't stress it. God wants believers not to intermarry with UN-believers. Period.

    I'm happy God likes colors, shapes, feathers, no feathers, tails, no tails, hooves or chicken feet and MORE. Like every color mixture under the Sun

    Yup, the game is out in the open now and parents do need to step up and fight, maybe even homeschool or private school.

    it the public schools where it hurts, lowering enrollment.

    I saw the big shift over the past ten years and schools are radically different.

    I would not send my kids to public schools today if they were young.

  • David - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Bro Dan Not at all taking sides here but were are not talking about sinning willfully, if a believer wants God to bless His walk it has to be in fellowship with His Word. Now God knowing out old man nature not only covered and cleansed us from all unrighteous and when walking in fellowship we continuously receive the rewards of that walk

    in the faith of Christ.

    Remember the Gift is spirit NOT FLESH and for the believer we are no longer looked at via the flesh we are Gods Children Period by rebirth spiritually. So Paul states for a believer not to take advantage of the gift of grace,

    but if you do not heed if you sew by flesh that is what you reap the flesh ,if you sew by spirit the things of the spirit.

    In everything God did for the believer us he never broke freedom of will. The individual has the work on renewing the mind which when born again we begin to put on the mind of Christ we don't get that immediately that is working out your salvation with respect and awe. Some will by the adversaries deception decide that

    they by the senses can do sense knowledge stuff and be rewarded not going to happen.

    Why because what you sew is what you reap and there is no respect of persons. That's why some will

    will reap 30-40-100-fold and some not much at all but God being just we get rewarded for what we did correctly by the word and the rest gets burned up but that doesn't make us not His children. Also to walk perfectly by the spirit means that we are at the doing exactly what God wants done in the exact way God wants it done speaking exactly what God wants ud to speak and performing the miraculous when we are told to the working ability of christ in us. i'd like to do that perfectly for 1 hour let alone twenty four seven. God Bless
  • Critical Race Theory is Theory_Its not proven to work. - In Reply - 4 years ago
    My excuse is I'm 1/2 Cajun and was blonde. Hah! I knew I was, the first time I heard accordion music. My Dad was a minister when we moved to Texas.

    I don't fit in a category. I raised my son to be a leader; and he is. My grandson is being raised the same way. To lead the crowd, not be it. I taught him to be "the agent of change."

    He was 6 when I was saved. I turned off the tv and we read the Proverbs together. He was the coolest little dude. Headstrong. We'd talk about choices and results.

    He attended Christian school. But I never turned him over to Teachers to MOLD him. I deliberately taught him the truth when he came home. The teacher taught we came from apes. I asked him if he had ever saw an ape in a BMW, with A/C and surround sound, eating a subway sandwich? Nope. Etc. He was very upset he had to take a test on it. I gave him permission to fail that test; which he did. We did a extra credit project and he passed school that way.

    It's wrong to make children compromise. It seriously damages their emotions. NO ABSOLUTES. CHURCH IS FALSE TEACHING?? Not in my house.

    The Principal called ME for conference. She tried to get me on her side. I told her I have an attorney that will happily take my case to court. We stared at each other a few. She said she'd be in touch, but I never heard from her.

    I taught RACES to my own kid. I started at Genesis. From Adam and Eve, issued ALL COLORS OF MANKIND. God likes variety. Romans 1. Colors DONT make people dumb. Not studying does. Pass the test. Following the 12 commandments pleases God, and He has your back. You can count on that. Fight with intelligence; which comes from God. He did. He had close friends of all colors. He's still that same kid; just older. Refuse to bow the knee to insanity. The Government is NOT God. Follow peace with all men/women. God said don't Judge. Use righteous judgment.

    Teach your own children. Push back. God is on OUR side. Deuteronomy 28:32, 30:19

    The Godhead has always existed.

    Adam was FORMED. Eve came from out of Adam.

    Lucifer was a created archangel in charge of praise and worship. He coveted the worship for himself. Evil was discovered in him. He had been 4th in line to the throne. Gabriel was 5th.

    Michael the Archangel was in charge of throwing (now demoted) Satan to earth.

    After Satan, Demons have hierarchies too, as explained in Ephesians 6. Satan Lost the DEED to earth at the CROSS. He has demons and wicked human beings who serve him. They're unbelievers despite everything. Antichrist, False Prophet, First and 2nd Beast, think they can still win back the earth. There will be a final battle and the Saints of God will ride along Jesus. yay!!!

    The Crucial Truth is, Jesus took back Dominion, Authority. The position of High Priest and more. He is Lord of all !!!

    We, his followers have the dominion God said in Genesis, we have the Authority Jesus took back from Satan right after he stomped on satans head! We are His followers! We are the Bride of Christ. We are kings and priests. We'll give direction to angels :D

    The best part is there will be no sickness, no arthritis, no dark places, the Tree of Life to sit under, cmon let's get happy now! I know we all have momentary anxiety about new places, lots of people we haven't met yet, but I believe the Lord has already thought of that. We've got a wedding feast to go to.

    Some day we will see earth the way God intended. As Eden.

    Hi, I just read today that John, the apostle, was put in a pot of boiling oil but did not get burned. He was then exiled to the Isle of Patmos, where He received the Revelations of Jesus from Jesus and then wrote the book. I did not read about is death. Maybe I need to look further for its account.
  • Before the incarnation of Jesus - In Reply - 4 years ago
    I explained it clumsy. See if this is clearer.

    Though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. ( Philippians 2:6-7)

    So in verse six, you have the preexistent Christ before incarnation in the form of God, which the next phrase defines as equality with God. Then in verse seven, you have him taking the form of a servant in the likeness of men. I think just as the term "form of God" in verse 6 does not mean "less than God" - because of the phrase "equality with God" - in the same way, the phrases "form of a servant" and "likeness of man" in verse 7 does not mean "less than human," but rather "equal with all humans." That is a real human nature.

    One of the reasons I don't believe that is what Paul meant is because he says the very opposite in Colossians 2:9. He said, "For in him", in Christ - the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily." You even wonder whether he used the word fullness there partially to say, "He didn't empty himself of that. He's not empty. He's not only not empty - he's full. He's full of deity." The whole fullness of deity dwells bodily in Jesus. So I don't think he emptied himself of anything that constitutes the essence of deity.

    [Another thing, Jesus did no miracles until after He was anointed in Luke 4:18, Isaiah 61:1]

    Astronomy differs from astrology. In Genesis, the lights in the heavens were to be used to mark days, seasons, and years, not predicting or fortune telling, like astrology practices do.

    I love to learn about God's wonderful creation. Scientific studies are intriguing to me. I was just a few credits shy of a Science minor in college when I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Education. Was just mentioning to my husband last night that I learned something from 3 quarter of chemistry after I correctly answered a Jeopardy question. He took rocketry classes and aeronatics in college. I would sometimes skip out of my ed. class and sit in on is class down the hall from me when I was bored in my class. But he is far more mathematical and scientific than I am.
  • Bro dan - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Brother Jesse,

    If you believe that you can't lose your salvation - what is Apostle Paul saying here:

    Hebrews 10:26

    "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

    I reads to me, that if we willfully continue to sin there is "no more sacrifice for sins" and we could lose our salvation!

    Paul is telling us that we need to work out our own salvation "with fear and trembling". He is asking us to take action! Do we just disregard this scripture?

    Philippians 2:12

    "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

    Jesus tells us throughout the NT that we need to refrain from sin. Why would Jesus tell us to stop sinning if we can continue to sin and still receive salvation? Jesus and Apostle Paul agree that we must become obedient, and stop sinning, if we want to receive salvation. Tons of scripture stating this..

    Should we be so confident in our salvation - that we disregard much of the scripture stating what "we need to be a part" of our own salvation. I will agree with Paul, and approach my salvation with fear and trembling, and trust him and Jesus, when they say we must repent from sin!

    God Bless.

    As a newly retired teacher in the Northwest, I can attest that CRT is being taught first to teachers and ten teachers are instructed to teach according to the guidelines of CRT. 3 years back, I sat through staff meeting after staff meeting to be trained in this damaging junk. We were told that as a white person, to choose to not participate of not respond in discussions was executing white privilege and our racism was showing because all white people are racist.

    When Schools were shut down in March of 2020 and virtual "learning" ensued, I remarked to my husband that now parents are going to discover what is being taught in the schools and they can do something about it As a public school employee I was told by my administrator that I cannot speak in a critical manner about schools. ( I told her that legally I do not think she can tell me what I can and not say, per 1st amendment). Needless to say, teachers have kept quiet in public about CRT and about the immense increase in classroom aggressive behaviors targeted by students against both other students and staff daily in some classrooms. "Restorative justice" is the "in" method of handling discipline problems with very little consequences to students who habitually harms others, disrupt classroom learning, destroy property. I was so fed up (as were other teachers as we quietly talked outside of earshot of administration) and was so happy to exit this environment when schools were closed and I could take a year of medical leave and then retire.

    Many teachers receive repercussions if they speak out and put their job, positions, and reputations at risk for doing so.

    I definitely do not miss it one bit. God worked out a way out for me, (unfortunately, because of covid).
