Reader, There are some who teach that the "Gospel" is : Acts 2:38. Now, if you are familiar with Christianity, then you know that everyone is invited to become a Christian......Jews, Gentiles,......... >"The World"... = John 3:16. So, one of the things we find out about the NT, is... = if an...

Ephesians 4 and Matthew 26 are important passages for us to follow as Christians, as we must try to maintain peacefulness. I will list two real world examples where a cult in the 1990s, and a woman during the April 8, 2024 eclipse, which I discussed about in the current events subforum, decided...

Reader, To make the wrong desires leave, can't be accomplished by trying to make them leave. This actually causes it to get worse in your head,= the LUST desire becomes stronger and more relentless. And that is because....Of yourself you have no power over that issue. Notice........ if i tell...

Translation from Greek: We are saying, for was credited to Abraham the belief (pistis) as righteousness. (Romans 4:9b) Brothers and Sisters, happy Sabbath, starting this Friday, September 29, 2023 at 11:27 PM EDT! I have found a new truth from Paul! I thank Leaf473 for bringing this new truth...

Heikki Räisänen (Paul and the Law, 1987) is critical of Paul and what he sees as the many self-contradictions and ambiguities in Paul’s position. Paul sets up the antithesis of faith and works and paradoxically claims that the law is overcome and yet remains valid. Räisänen says that Paul “is...

Have any of you finished reading the new testament from start to finish? What do you think about Saul of Tarsus/Paul. I've asked some people I know that I have been Christians for a while and it seems to be a touchy subject. I came across this video that is an interesting study. It's on...

I am studying 2 Timothy and would be interested in hearing commentary on the following points: 1) CONTEXT AND TIMING: From the text, it is clear Paul is writing this: In distressed circumstances. (2 Tim 1:8, 1:12, 1:16, 2:3, 2:9) From Rome. (2 Tim 1:17) This letter was written after the letter...

Hi, I’m new to the forum and have come here to post a dream I had that has confused me. I was having a conversation with Apostle Paul in heaven and all I remember is that he said that he wrote 42 epistles but only 20 survived. Only 13 (14 if you count Hebrews) are in the Bible today. I’ve...

- Here is how to understand how to be healed. First, you have to get your Faith right. Saint, everything with God, is....."is your faith right"< or is it broken. The NT tells you that "without faith, it is IMPOSSIBLE to Please GOD". See that? And that makes perfect sense, when you realize...

In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul lists the famous "Fruits of The Spirit". Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are straight forward concepts that even children can easily understand, yet there is deep personal meaning and blessings found in...

Paul did not teach Perpetual Belief Alone-ism for salvation: Many believe that Paul taught to believe in Jesus alone their whole lives (with no change in your life) to be saved; But this is not true. Others falsely teach that we are saved by a belief alone, and this will result in living yet...

I am the author of the Scholars Corner, and I was hoping to do some deep research on the original language texts of the bible, but not sure this is the right forum. Anyway, I'm a "retired" pastor if there is such a thing. I preach at our home church as needed. I am the author of Pardoned or...

Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; (NOTE: The Temple area had 4 courts: The Court of the Priests. The Court of Israel. The Court of the Women. The Court of the Gentiles. Only Levitical priests had access to...

Romans 11:25–27 (NASB95) 25 "For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is...

In 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:4, Paul equates the veiling of the face with hardness of heart and blind eyes of those who are perishing in slavery and shame under the law. The unveiled face otoh is free to proclaim the gospel, behold the glory of God and be transformed by the Spirit in mercy and...

Trying to simplify how the ETERNAL Grace of God is manifested is always my goal regarding all who find me. I only want a believer to come to the revelation of the Glorious simplicity that is found by being": "in Christ" . So, lets talk about Discipleship. Discipleship : is a religious work...

What are the basics of Christianity, that we are to learn. ????? Well, Hebrews 13:9 is the Key verse in the entire NT, that you are to thoroughly ingrain into the mentality and the spirituality of anyone who is a new believer, that God gives you to train, so that the cults dont get them and...

The NT tells you, if you are born again, to be "in the faith".....to make certain of this.... 2nd Corinthians 13:5 It does not tell you to be "IN the commandments" or "IN the law", or anything that has to do with performance or self effort .. as how to be "IN the FAITH". Jesus gave you some...

Pray for me Brothers and Sisters. I am so ready to give up my faith. every day since I started focusing my life on god has been utter confusion, depression, and torture. I have so many doctorinal questions, it seems there is so many contradictions, so many regrets and fears. I try not to sin...

Jesus instructed His disciples to go to all nations and preach the gospel and then the end would come. They did go to all the nations and so the end could come (in their lifetime.) In Acts 2:5 Peter preached to "devout men from every nation under heaven." Luke lists the nations this included...
