   This is basically the next chapter from my previous posting, and, this may continue for some time.    Over the past 3 decades I have most surely been way to hard-headed, stubborn, and way to proud of myself to even think of letting God take control over me and my life, as I came to believe that I was doing pretty well on my own even when things were going downhill, so I figured that I’d let

   Many Christians have a difficult time in trying to live in the manner that God has designed for them. The speed of live in this day and age seems to give us very little time to stop and think about the things that we do and in the way that we do them.     With the pressures of working, if one is fortunate enough to be employed, medical needs, and all of those other bills that have to be paid,

   So much of our Christianity is these days is based more on tradition than actual biblical fact. The Christmas story is no exception. Let us take a look at a different re-telling of the Christmas story.

Original Article A message of knowledge is God or the Lord Jesus Christ providing to you information, insight, and understanding about something. A message of knowledge is a manifestation of the gift of holy spirit (1 Cor. 12:7 and 8), so it is God or the Lord Jesus giving knowledge to us via the gift of holy spirit.

  Let's go take another tour of teachings over at Truth or Tradition and look at the subject of discerning of spirits.   This subject has always been one of my favorites ever since I was a kid. There has always been something about the dark side that has fascinated me. As I was led into the Word and started studying the devil and all of those other wicked areas, many of those same wicked

  Most Christians are taught that God knows when everything in our lives is going to happen and that He is always in control of events surrounding us and this earth. I've never believed that, and you shouldn't either. For one reason, if God is always in control of our lives and the happenings in it, then why do we need to pray for things/events to come to pass? For our safety? It would seem a

       Most Christians, those who practice being a Christian instead of just saying that they are, are often left in wonder at the way the rest of the world lives.

I'm certainly not any kind of fan of the Fundamentalist Christian right because there is nothing right about them.

   I have presented many articles from others on the trinity in the past and I am going to do so now, once again. Why? Because there is no such thing as God being Jesus or Jesus being God in the flesh.

Original Teaching from Truth Or Tradition Four Kinds of Love By John Schoenheit     There are four Greek words for love that are important for Christians to understand. They are agape, phileo, storge, and eros. Three of them appear in the Bible. [1] If we are going to understand the Bible and the biblical world, it is important that we understand what these words mean and how they differ.

  From Joywell   Original Article A. WHAT IT IS NOT 1. NOT SUSPICION - The gift of discerning of spirits is not simply being suspicious of others. A person who has never had the Holy Spirit can be suspicious of everyone, and often they are. 2. NOT GIFT OF CRITICISM - This gift is not discerning of faults, but of spirits. It is the spirit of the devil which causes people to accuse the brethren.

    There are many of us Christians who do not give thanks to God for all of the things which He has done for us or for providing for us on a daily basis.    We should be thanking God for everyday that we wake in the morning,for the food that we have placed on our tables, for our good health and for many others. We should thank Him for all that He has done, is doing and will do for us as His

    It has been a very hectic week this past week! That is one reason that there has been nothing new at this site as of late.     Another reason is that God and myself have been at odds with each other over a few things going on in life right now, in which I am not pleased. I should probably say that I am at odd with Him, I think. I'm not really to sure, as it seems as if the phone line to God

   Today we are all going to get educated on the subject of 'Miracles'.     We have all had a few experiences where it seemed as if some of the things which have occurred in our lives could not have happened unless it was a 'Miracle" from God.     But what exactly is a 'Miracle'?    We will go to Christian Answers for that.

    The manifestation of faith is one of eight manifestations of the Spirit. Many teachers call these 'gifts'  but if you look at the Word of God correctly, there is only one gift and that is the gift of healing. 1Cr 12:1"Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant."   The word gifts is an added word and it should not even be there in this instance.

    This has been an on-going topic of argument for many Christians.

(8 )And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."   KJV     When you read this verse, one is tempted to believe that it backs up the claim of the trinity.

Christmas is for joy, for giving and sharing, for laughter, for coming together with family and friends, for tinsel and brightly decorated packages... But mostly, Christmas is for love. It was this love for which Jesus came to this world and sacrificed his life.Thus Christmas is a celebration of love and mirth symbolized by the Nativity, the Santa, the caribou, the poinsettia and the evergreens.

   This has always been a controversial subject to touch on since most Christian's believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one entity.   They point to John 1:1 ("In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ) as proof of the trinity. Of course, there are many more verses to pick and choose from to back this claim up. There are also many more verses in

    Many Christians have a problem with living in the past when it comes to being forgiven of their sins. Their mind (Satan) tells them that they are not good enough for the grace of God and they go on with the guilt trip.    I've been there a few times myself because some of the things that I used to do, that I was not proud of, would not go away. The devil is a good one for bringing up past

   Historically the Chaldeans were a seminomadic people from Arabia who occupied the city of Ur "of the Chaldeans." (Genesis 11:28) and neighboring lands. They are referred to in the accounts of Assyrian kings that date back to 884-859 BC. In 721 BC, a Chaldean ruler, despite great opposition, seized the throne of Babylon and reigned for ten years.

    Many of us have been in the habit of Bible study. The question is, are we studying the words in it or are we just reading the words and then maybe memorizing a few verses?     Bible study is a somewhat difficult task when you consider the many things that you must keep in mind when you actually do more than just read it. To understand the Word the way that it was written you must know why it

From Apologetics Ministries "Love" means sentimentality. The Biblical word for "love" rendered from agape does not refer to sentiment or good feelings, but rather, to looking out for the greater good. The false view has led to misleading understandings of the role of confrontation, and to the excusing of criminal actions (eg, refusing to enact the death penalty out of "love"!), among other things

by David YeubanksJuly 8, 2003 (recently updated 06/19/2006) One of my favorite passages of Scripture is John 3:8; the words of Jesus to the Pharisee Nicodemus about the born again life. Nicodemus was a devout religious man, a respected leader of the Jews, a strict observer of the Law, and a member of the Sanhedrin who also appeared to be a very wealthy man (John 19:39). In this chapter Nicodemus

    One of the problems that many Christians have with the Bible is the fact that they do not know how to study it in the right way. We have become accustomed to just opening the book up and then just reading it and maybe memorizing a verse or two. We take everything that the preacher says to us on Sunday as fact without checking up in the topic ourselves. This should not be!  "Study To Show

"The first will be last and the last will be first." That's one of Jesus' favorite sayings. Isn't it interesting that God said it long before he was born.

     Earlier this morning I was reading some stats on our universe dealing with how big it really is.  Some of the stats got me to thinking about how little this earth and its inhabitants are compared to the rest if existence.     It also makes you realize just how big God is! We still cannot fully comprehend his enormity! No visions can ever encompass Him, while He encompasses all visions....

    As you can see thus far, many books of the Bible are either made up or half right in their translations.     Friends tell me that by bringing things like this up I am splitting hairs. My self and many others who do this kind of study think that it is important to know what the Word of God says. How can you trust  the Word and live on the Word if you do not know what it really says and means?

    I know a certain female Misha (not real name). Most of the time when we run into each other we always have some really great discussions about God and the Bible. Usually it is about the words in the Bible.     One of my so-called 'gifts' is the study of what is translated correctly in the Bible along with what has been added to it or is a flat out lie that is supposed to be in it.

"One can always read some kind of meaning into a verse of Scripture.

    Alot of times when I am talking to someone about the un-biblical teachings that are going on in the church, I hear that same old line that I should not be criticizing the preachers, and on and on.

       FROM LordYouAre.com By Jack Helser Jesus said “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.” (Luke 9:23-24). Each of us has a cross to carry. Though the Lord bears our burdens (Psalm 68:19) our crosses still seem overwhelming to us.

   You do not hear this subject brought up in an institutionalized church in this day and age, do you? That is because the preachers and such don't believe in this sort of teaching anymore.     Beyond our five senses is raging a spiritual battle between the forces of good and evil.
