Quote (Stu @ Aug. 10 2008,09:13)Hi ShaniaQuote This is the heart that our Father looks for.  The one who is humble, contrite, and trembles at His word.I suppose it is easier for 'Him' to run a brutal dictatorship if the people are meek and don't question the indiscriminate smiting.Stuart2 Sam 22:26-3026 “To the faithful you show yourself…[Read more]

Hi Samuel-Your words have always encouraged me. With all of your posts, I can tell that all you want is Him- no matter if it goes against tradition or your concepts or what it costs you. This is the heart that our Father looks for. The one who is humble, contrite, and trembles at His word. People will always fight you. The enemy sees that…[Read more]

Quote (david @ July 20 2008,07:14)Quote What is important that He died for our Sins and now sits on the throne with our Heavenly Father.–Irene.And what is so troubling Irene, is that so many view him either as a helpless babe in a manger or as a man dying on a cross.  He is presently neither.  He is at the right hand of God.“so many view him a…[Read more]

Interesting thing to think about though: the animal sacrifices were a foreshadow of what was to come, especially the passover lamb. They were slaughtered on a board of wood… not a cross.

From my understanding, the cross symbol has to do with the equinox… sun worship and all. I also heard that the reason why romans impaled people on crosses is that the cross symbolized their god, and by killing someone on it, it was like saying that their god defeated them . It was like the ultimate victory for tammuz I believe as David and…[Read more]

Not following

Matt 9:66 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. .NIVMatt 9:88 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men. NIVJohn 20:22-23 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they…[Read more]

Ezek 22:30-3130 “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. 31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign LORD.”NIV

His mercy is what drives us to repentance. When we repent, we “turn back” to Him. [there is a dictionary def that says repentance is doing a 180). This is all about fellowship and relationship with Him. He created us for relationship with Him and He wants us desparately, but our sin stands in the way. Because of His great love for us, He is…[Read more]

So how does this relate to “flesh man” and “spirit man”? Is the soul the “flesh man”?

No one would have any power unless it were given to him from above. We do not choose our rulers. All authority is under the control of YHWH. He has a plan and a purpose. If we are under evil leadership, there is a reason.

Nick- What differentiates the soul from the spirit?Thanks

John 10:110:1 “I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way , is a thief and a robber.NIVJohn 10:77 Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.NIVJohn 10:8-9. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.

If there were two gospels, what would the difference in them be?There is only one way that leads to salvation

What scripture says that there are two gospels?The gospel is the way to salvation. There is only one way. There is only one gospel. This is really plain and simple. Why is this even a question?
