When we take a good hard look at the Corinthian church, what we see is a first century church, that was still in the formation process. The believers which comprised this church at Corinth, were from all walks of life, but the one thing they all had in common besides the new birth experience which is found in Jesus Christ, was they were all BABES there were none which could be called elders. They also didn't have the Bible in which to study, they were Heathens, Pagans, and Jews. read more »

We hear all the time.
The Gospel of Christ.
Preach the Gospel of Christ.

What actually was Christ's Gospel?
When Jesus said
Mar 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

According to these verses, where is Choice in relation to sin?

If we despise the commandment of the Lord, sin is at the door, but we are no longer under the law, the Law was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, the only person who ever did or could fulfill the law, that is why he has become our Savior, and the Righteous the fulfillment of the law has been written on our hearts. We have become the Righteousness of God through Christ.

Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. read more »

This has been written primarily for those of the United States.
But God has shown me, "THIS WORD", is for all Christians everywhere, no matter what Country they might live, because "ALL THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD ARE CORRUPT"

Is the Government of The United States, a Government Of, BY and For the People?
Or is it, The Government of the People that can "BUY" it?

The Lobbyists of this Country, have effectively taken the "VOTE" away from the Individual. read more »

Instead of fighting over, arguing about, or just trying to disprove the Doctrines put forward by John Calvin, why not look at the errors he made when he formulated those Doctrines. read more »

A Christian couple I have been counseling, have asked me some questions, that has made it very difficult for me to give them a reasonable answer.
This is the issue at hand, they have had one child with absolutely no problem, but have not been able to have another. It has now been over 4 yrs.

They come with this scripture.
Psa 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

The question they ask is.
We are Christians, we love children, we want to have more. read more »

Thus saith the Lord, unto the Church

You continually equate yourselves with My chosen people Israel. You also claim all of the blessings I bestowed upon them.
Blessing was only the first part of what I always said to Israel. You also have to remember the curses.
You do now constitute My chosen people, by promise to My servant Abraham, by accepting the Messiah I sent to Israel.
I have blinded them for a season, that My grace would shine on all men. read more »

We as Christians declare our undying loyalty, love and allegiance to God.
But every time it comes to placing our supposed Faith in the one true God, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the Creator of the Universe, we opt out on our Faith, by once again placing Our Faith in the power of the Political Party of "OUR" choice, the Candidate of that chosen Political Party, and the Voting Booth. read more »

As Christians there is the need to understand, by our saying I am are sorry, or saying I will stop, that this is not in any way ( REPENTING ). The only thing you are doing, is saying that you have a desire to (REPENT).
When we are continually committing the same sin, doing the same things over, and over that we want to stop. We then have feelings of being defeated, unloved by God, or even abandoned by Him, because of our sin, that seemingly cannot be overcome.
But the truth of the matter is, we have not (REPENTED) yet, even though we have sought it with tears. read more »

Your forgiveness of someone that has wronged you, no matter what the wrong may have been, is not dependent on how you feel about the situation, or the person involved.
It is something to be done out of obedience.
It is all about how GOD feels, not you, He said to pray, He said to forgive.
Why would God require this of us, knowing we are emotional creatures, controlled by our feelings, passions?
There is what is called the many fold purpose of God.
In this circumstance, a two fold purpose, for our praying in a forgiveness type of situation. read more »

The Generation of the Time of the End, who are they?

In light of the following scriptures, which generation were first John the Baptist, then Jesus speaking of?

John the Baptist first spoke, about the wrath to come.
Just what wrath was he speaking of which was to come, why was his warning them of this wrath so important?

JOHN:
Matt.3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, (O GENERATION OF VIPERS), who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

We find Greece in the 5th.- 4th. centuries BC developed a form of governing which is called Democracy, (which has the literal meaning of rule by the people). But it should be noted, this was accomplished by the drawing of lots for those that would be serving in the Government. Elections as we know them today, were nonexistent until what could be truly called an elected Government, which would be the United States Democracy.
The United States Constitution, being adopted in 1788, provided the means for an elected government. read more »
