You are responsible for what you say therefore, don't be a doom and gloom sayer. Be a hope and encouragement sayer!

An accusation against, "christians" is that they are fakers. The truth of the matter is, the accusation is a true fact! So many Christians put on a pious spiritual front around other people to where their entire demeanor changes and they become a different person than they are in life living. This turns unbelievers off because they sense the facade of authenticity that takes place. Christian need to live in the real world and realize that people have good built-in crap detectors. The one thing these detectors sniff out faster than anything else is in-authenticity. Christians are projected as being all tarred with the same brush. They present themselves as being cloned from the same mold. There may be slight differences between the different groups mold but, within each denominational mould all members are cloned alike. Their individuality is overshadowed by the spiritual mask that is so far removed from the reality of daily living that the facade is easi...

It is not my place to condemn those people that merge the pre-cross system with the pos -cross gospel together. Old habits are hard to break. I mean they have preached and taught the combining of grace and works for so long that it would cause to much humiliation to admit the wrongness in it. Besides, if wrong is admitted to on that issue...how much more of what was taught as truth, was in reality a deception of truth that was accepted as truth. I wonder...is it due to incorrect interpretation of the bible that there is such a resentment by institutionalized believers to the Gospel of grace that Jesus gave to Paul and the Gospel that Paul preached and lived, and said...that if any one preached any other gospel than what he preach “let him be accursed.” This attitude runs ramped in the what is known as the modern church. The disregard for “rightly dividing the scriptures” makes it nigh impossible for mixed gospel believers to properly understand the incredible fr...

Acts chapter 15 is an account of the first serious clash between the gospel for the circumcised (the pre-cross gospel) and the gospel for the uncircumcised (the post-cross gospel). A reading of the whole chapter is recommended to gain an understanding authenticity for this post. Some Bible theologians call this the "First Jerusalem Council". The final decision of the council also gives us the clearest insight into the real freedom that the Gospel of Grace provides post-cross believers (Christ's Church). Note that this council was called to decide if the Gentile Believers are required to keep the Mosaic Law in addition to faith in Christ. Also notice that the people challenging the Gentile Believer's non-adherence to law keeping were "believing" Pharisees, the religious elite of the day. These Pharisees were believers in Christ, yet they obviously received salvation with the understanding that keeping the Law was normal and required. The g...

Satan's Objective....Deception Satan's Target....Our Mind Satan's Weapons.... Innuendos, Lies and Half-Truths Satan's Purpose.... Keep us in Ignorance If Satan can keep us in ignorance regarding God's eternal plan, His gospel of grace and His love, we will remain steeped in deception and be ignorant as to the totality of Christ's sacrifice as to what really happened on the cross. Our best defense against the deception of Satan is not the written word, but JESUS the LIVING WORD! Why is the Bible the word, not our best defense against deception? Because it is subject to subjective interpretation...meaning its interpretation can be: 1. Based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions that are formulated from the environment we were subject to in our spiritual formative upbringing. 2. Dependent on the mind or on an individual's perception of the Bible as to how much deception has been wrongly understood and accepted as ...

Live in the truth of who you are not how other opinionated people believe you should live because of their held to traditions. You are a child of the most high God, you are the beloved of Jesus the lover, you are the treasured possession of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. You are not perfect in yourself, but you are perfect in Him, now with this understanding live a life that reflects the reality of such relationship that positions you as God’s child as He lives His life through you. Allow God in His power to be active in your life, not by arrogance, and superiority because you deem you know the scriptures and think you have to beat people with the scriptural whip because they do not believe as you do or to help to show them their lost condition. Be humble and gentle toward people even in their hatred and discuss of you and the grace message of Jesus Christ. Remember from where you came, the same blindness and deception that many are still in, still living under the Old Covena...

A person is respectable only to the degree that he himself respects those that do not disagree with his agreeing.
