Quote (Stu @ June 05 2009,20:52)Quote (942767 @ June 05 2009,12:21)The meaning of the word “apostle” is “sent by God”.  Paul was an Apostle, therefore, he was obeying the Lord.If anyone is preaching another gospel, they are deceiving the people.Jesus words are:  “I am the way, the truth, and the life, NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME”.Quote <…[Read more]

Hi thethinker:Jesus was dead.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 05 2009,15:20)Hi 94, So James says that lusts exist within men already before they bring them to life though obedience to them. Do you think this only applies to the saved and others have no lusts? The god of this world gives the lusts of the world to natural men. Indeed Adam and Eve were the first to submit to his…[Read more]

Jam 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I…[Read more]
