WHO WINS? THE NATURAL WEAKLING… OR THE SPIRITUAL POWERHOUSE?
Edward O’Hara Sun 2/23/2020 12:33 PM… Have you ever noticed that when Jesus was with the disciples they never really “got” what was happening? Oh, they followed Him because they were sure He was the Messiah. But, they understood that to mean something very different from what Jesus came to do. Because they believed what…
Read MoreDID PAUL REALLY SAY MEN DO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW… BY NATURE?
Edward O’Hara Fri 2/21/2020 9:02 AM… To the unbelieving Gnostic, those who have believed Augustine instead of Paul, this is a problem. Because to them men are sinners by nature. So to them, it is impossible for man to do by nature what is written in the law. But, in this message, I will show…
Read MoreHOW PAGAN GNOSTICISM BECAME ORTHODOXY
Edward O’Hara Tue 2/18/2020 9:44 AM… How did something as unorthodox as pagan Gnosticism, which John said was “of the spirit of antichrist” in 1John4:1-3 because it denies that Jesus came in the same flesh all men have, and Paul said would be the premise for strong delusion in 2Thes.2:7-12 because this is the perverted…
Read MoreOUR SPIRITUAL HOUSE… A GLORIOUS MANIFESTATION
Edward O’Hara Sat 2/15/2020 1:48 PM… Paul wrote some incredibly inspiring and comforting words. But, none more so than these; “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that…
Read MoreWE INHERIT A SPIRITUAL KINGDOM THE NATURAL MAN WAS NEVER MADE FOR
Edward O’Hara Thu 2/13/2020 2:46 PM… Jesus told Nicodemus “marvel not that I said ye must be born again”. Believe it or not, this is the answer to what happens when we die. Because only by new birth, a spiritual birth, is man-made ready to inhabit the kingdom of God. Because the kingdom of God…
Read MoreSAVED BY GRACE REALLY MEANS SAVED BY GRACE
Edward O’Hara Tue 2/11/2020 10:39 PM How is my doing works for salvation any different from me trusting in someone else doing the works for me for salvation? I mean, it still works no matter who does them, right? And what is it about salvation by works anyway that is so ingrained in so many…
Read MoreWHY DOES DEATH STILL REIGN EVEN AFTER MEN ARE CLEANSED FROM ALL SIN?
Edward O’Hara Mon 2/10/2020 1:14 PM… In 1John1:9 John says that when Israelites confess their sins Jesus is faithful and just to forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. In Heb.9:15 we read that Jesus “is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under…
Read MoreTHE SOWER SOWS THE WORD
In Mark 4 and Mt.13 Jesus tells of a person who plants a seed in the ground. He describes the kind of ground the seed is planted in. And how it is the condition of the ground that is the critical factor that determines whether the seed germinates, grows, and bears fruit. This message can be…
Read MoreSANCTIFIED AND PURIFIED… BUT NOT FORGIVEN? HUH!?
Edward O’Hara Thu 2/6/2020 5:11 PM To understand the letter to the Hebrews we always need to keep in mind that this letter is written to well… the Hebrews, and not the whole world. This means that whatever it says, it says to those who were under the law to show them a better way. This is in contrast to the…
Read MoreDEATH IS SEPARATION… BUT SEPARATION FROM WHAT?
Edward O’Hara Mon 2/3/2020 2:15 PM When I say death is separation it means that when death happens to a man who is not born of the Spirit he dies physically because his body is separated from the air that God breathed into his nostrils(Gen.2:7, Ecc.12:7). It also means the same thing when animals die…
