Put.4- Sin Is Not Imputed When There Is No Law- Rom.5:13

Edward O’Hara Tue 12/31/2019 1:21 PM… In our last study we left off with the question; But, what about the people that God destroyed in the flood? Or at Sodom and Gemorah? Weren’t these punished by God for their sins? Isn’t that the imputation of sin? The short answer is no. Because there are a couple of reasons given in the Bible for why this happened. And none of these is said to be because of imputed sin. In some instances, it was because those that God destroyed were not really human people at all. Like when God flooded the earth. Because in Gen.6 we see that God says the only people who were perfect in their generations/genealogy were Noah. And the rest had been affected by the DNA change because of the marriages that had been going on between the…

What Universalists And Calvinists Have In Common

Edward O’Hara Thu 12/26/2019 6:54 PM… The Calvinist(those who believe John Calvin’s teaching) believes that God chose who will go to heaven and who will go to hell before they were born. The Universalist believes that all men will be saved because God chose them before they were born. The Calvinist gets this from confusing what Paul taught about predestination in Rom.8 and what Paul taught in Rom.9. The Universalist gets this from confusing Paul’s message in Rom.5:18. In Rom.5:18 Paul says “Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” They believe this means that just as all are condemned in Adam because of his sin. So all are justified in Christ because of His sinlessness. Even though on the…

Christ Is Born

The Bible is very clear about why Christ was born. The Bible tells us that He was born to “take away the sin of the world”(John1:29). And Jesus said that this sin was that “they believe not on me”(John16:9). Because it is in believing in Jesus that we have the eternal life that Jesus was born to provide for us. For Israel, this would begin by Him fulfilling the law so that it could pass away(Mt.5:17,18). This was necessary for Israel because as long as they were under the law they could not be joined with Jesus for eternal life(Rom.7:1-4). Because while they were under the law they were “kept shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed.”(Gal.3:23). And for the Gentiles(all who are not Israelites) Jesus came to offer them the same New Covenant He brought to Israel.…

False Apostles, Deceitful Workmen, Disguising Themselves as Apostles of Christ

Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). In this verse, believers are commanded to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” This same command is echoed in other parts of Scripture as well. For example, in 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 we find Paul exhorting the Christians to not “despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.” These two passages are just a few of the many that warn Christians to test the message that people or spirits proclaim. This is true in all situations but most importantly when a person or spirit is claiming to speak for God. Christians are to be discerning hearers and readers of all messages. The reason for the admonition to “test…

It’s Getting More Expensive to Eat, and Economists Are Worried

Food prices are climbing fast in the world’s biggest emerging markets, posing a possible inflation threat after months of dormant pressures… Asia’s two largest developing economies face a price surge for staple products — pork in China and onions in India — that are central to consumers’ diets. In Turkey and Nigeria, supply problems are driving up costs, while United Nations data show global food prices rose at the fastest pace in October in more than two years. While the spike is painful for poorer consumers, it hasn’t reached a level to convince central banks to pull the brake on policy easing, as they remain focused on boosting economic growth amid a global slowdown. Average inflation across emerging markets is still at an all-time low, according to a Bloomberg gauge of consumer price indexes. “We think it’s likely they would look through food inflation that is…

Being a Leader is not Always About Being in the Front

It’s all About Taking Care of Your Team… We can learn from this pack of wolves an invaluable life lesson: The 3 wolves in the front are either old or sick. They walk in front to lead the way so as to set the pace. The 5 wolves behind them are the strongest. They protect the front in case of an attack. The 5 wolves, behind the middle group, are also amongst the strongest, they protect the backside. The middle group consists of newborns, pregnant females, and young wolves. They are fully protected from the front as well as from the back. The last and the lone wolf in the back is the leader. He ensures no one is left behind. He keeps the pack tight and cohesive. Also in case of an ambush, he remains active to run in any direction to protect his pack. So what can we learn from that…

The “Secret Trials” Democrats Are Rigging Against Trump Will Be Used Against All Conservatives, Christians

If Dems Rise to Power…. At present, the Democratic Party only controls one-half of one branch of government — the House of Representatives. But party leaders are showing us what they will do and how they will come after Trump supporters, Christians, and conservatives if they ever retake both chambers of Congress and the Executive Branch. As the impeachment fervor continues over — something President Trump allegedly did — House Democrats are busy changing the rules and getting rid of any remaining decorum between them and Republicans so they can stage a ‘show trial’ and convict him largely in secret. And, of course, this is all occurring with the overt participation of the fake news Washington media. The only good news is that the Trump administration and the president are fighting back. “President Trump and his administration reject your baseless, unconstitutional efforts…

Trump Impeachment Odds Soar, Be Warned — Only If GOD Approves Will The Dem Be Successful

Like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament who served secular kings, we are called to serve everyone and help them fulfill their divine destiny. Jesus made it clear that people who want to lead or be great must be the servants of all. Serving is the way of leadership in the kingdom. Forcing our way onto the world is not great leadership. Some accuse me of doing this very thing because I speak up on moral issues. It is important that we speak up on issues, but it’s also equally important that we love everyone no matter their persuasions. Someday Jesus will rule the world; in the meantime, we should just serve well and let our good works speak of our Father who loves everyone. Evil Exists So Spiritual Warfare Becomes Necessary! PredictIt odds of President Trump’s impeachment by the…

Franklin Graham warns that Trump’s enemies will “hurt America, could spark civil war if impeached”

The Bible uses words such as iniquity, transgression, and trespass to indicate levels of disobedience to God. They are all categorized as “sin.” Micah 2:1 says, “Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light, they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.” Leading evangelist Franklin Graham has responded to critics of his “special day of prayer” on Sunday, a time when he’s urged Christians worldwide to ask God to protect President Trump as his political “enemies” seek impeachment. Graham, the 66-year-old son of the late evangelist Billy Graham and the influential conservative Christian leader of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, spoke with The Christian Post on Thursday to further detail what inspired him to announce this Sunday’s special day of prayer. Since making the announcement last Sunday, Graham has faced Responding to the…

Defense of the Truth, Apologetics-Is a Vital Component of Society, Christ Church

Why the Christian Needs to Understand the Spiritual Battle Strategy The Bible is the grand repository of the truths that will be the business and the pleasure of my life to set before you. It is the complete system of divine truth to which nothing can be added and from which nothing can be taken( Queer James Bible) with impunity. Every attempt to disguise or soften any branch of this truth in order to accommodate it to the prevailing taste around us either to avoid the displeasure or court the favor of our fellow mortals must be an affront to the majesty of God and an act of treachery to men. My conscience bears me witness that I mean to speak the truth among you Two things are made especially plain. God states three times in verse 27 that man is created. In…
