    Satan's Temptation: What Does the Devil Fear Most? How to Overcome Satan's Temptations?

    I'm small "c" catholic. I enjoyed this read. I firmly believe that Jesus has taken my "Mustard Seed" of Repentance and Grown it into a heaven bound Faith. This said.... though we are truly SUPER free in Jesus, darkness in our lives brings misery and sorrow. We do have access to more abundant...

    JUSTIFICATION by works, grace, or faith?

    Indeed. I had already hit heart on this one. :) I will say this much, initial faith requires Repentance of our own Libertarian Volition. I used to run with a pretty rabid OSAS pack... and initially... OSAS seemed to be comforting,, but as my relationship with God grew, I realized that God is...

    Why did God favor Abel's offering over Cain's?

    Tony, this is one of those... I'm going to have to ask Jesus in Heaven to know for sure matters... but my opinion is that the Produce that Cain offered represented Toil of the Dust (Flesh/Works), while Abel's represented the Coming of Jesus and His being our Sacrifice as our One True Salvation...

    How does Moses Make Tea? HEBREWS it! (Legal study of the book of Hebrews) Pt. 1

    The book of Hebrews. Several facts about the book of Hebrews... 1- We don't really know who wrote it, for sure. It reads with the perfect legal flow of the kind of fellow that would have studied under Gamaliel. But... Peter spent a lot of time around Paul and was very specifically...

    Love your enemies, including Satan?

    Here we have David, a man after God's Heart supporting your posit: Psalm 139:21-22 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. Yet, we have this: James 2:12 So speak and so act as those...

    Love your enemies, including Satan?

    Attempt at thought provoking ideas.... Does "Love" have to support the plans of evil? The answer is no. 4 Love is patient, Has God been patient with Satan? love is kind. Has God been "kind" to Satan? I will actually say... yes. Satan is still allowed to carry out his rebellion and cause...

    An Evil Heart Of Unbelief

    Matthew 23 is one of the most important foundations of the NEW COVENANT. It is what we can consider, God in Flesh telling us "What not to do". Paul uses the parabolic poetic pentameter of Matthew 23 every time he slips warnings in about tampering with the Revealed Gospel of Jesus Christ from...

    Claiming Glory For Yourself

    John 2:24 But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over Him.

    An Evil Heart Of Unbelief

    If you are okay with the direction I'm going, I will exegete Matthew 23 and explain how it makes the reading of Jude that I provided unmistakable. It's pretty intense.

    My Parents do not Believe in the End Times (RESOLVED)

    Ask them if they will go over Exodus 14 with you. Explain to them that you don't know if the End Times will happen in our time or not, but that it is important to you that you and they are prepared. Emphasize the fear that the Israelites felt when pinched between the Red Sea and the...

    My Parents do not Believe in the End Times (RESOLVED)

    I understand that your concern is out of Love for your Parents. Jesus said this of the matter: Of all the things He says... He says this to answer your very heart on this matter: Luke 21:14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15 For I will give you...

    Israel is Real! Avoid the Christian arrogance that Paul Specifically warned against (Romans 11:25)

    I read where God reveals to Samuel that He wanted to be Israel's chosen King and feel sad. I know that it is not over... but desperately I wish every country would put Jesus on the voting ballots and the entire world would vote for Him as KING! I know that sounds silly and we know that will...

    The Covenant of Betrothal

    Song of Solomon 5:2 ... I slept, but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking. “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.” 3 I had put off my garment; how could I put it on? I had bathed my...
