THERE IS NO LAW FOR THE RIGHTEOUS

Edward O’Hara Wed 3/25/2020 4:44 PM… Have you ever heard the saying “THOSE WHO WILL NOT GOVERN THEMSELVES WILL BE GOVERNED BY OTHERS”? We see the proof that this saying is true in all those who wind up in prison. They would not govern themselves so now they are governed by others. Believe it or not, this is what Paul was talking about when he wrote that “The law is not for the righteous man”. But, who are the righteous Paul is talking about here that he says the law is not for? And if the law is not for them, then how is it that they are to order their lives so that they know they are living as God wants them to?  These questions stem from a misunderstanding that is created from what has sadly become the “orthodox” view…

THE KEY TO FAITH THAT PLEASES GOD IS… LOVE

Edward O’Hara Sun 3/22/2020 6:07 PM… Have you ever heard something that as a Christian just shocked you? Even though you already knew there were some people that thought that way? Even though you thought you had heard it all before? There is something about the cavalier way things are said sometimes that just gives it that extra oomph of shock value. Well, that happened to me the other day. Though like I said I don’t know why it should. Because I have seen so often how so many have chosen the deception of the antichrist over the plain language of the Bible since Augustine brought it to the Roman Catholic religion. And Martin Luther and John Calvin brought it to her daughters the Protestants.  That’s why I’m asking the question, is there any scriptural foundation for the Christian to…

HOW TO BE FREE FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN

Edward O’Hara Fri 3/6/2020 3:47 PM… What do you think of when you read Jesus or Paul teaching about a man being a slave to sin? Do you think this means that because Adam’s sin was imputed to you that you are a slave to it? Or does that mean to you that this person who is a slave to sin must be doing something consistently bad that gives it control over him so that he is made a slave to it? If it is either of these then you have missed the point both Jesus and Paul were making when they spoke of the slavery of sin.  In John8 Jesus was speaking to Israelites about believing in Him. He said to those Israelites which believed on him, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye…

WE 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 is a spiritual kingdom, not a natural one inhabited by natural beings like the one we live in now. So only what is spiritual can live there.  All men and the natural world men live in are natural, not spiritual. For the Biblical evidence of this one need only to look at Gen.1:26,2:7,7:13,14,21,22, 1Cor.2:14, 15:45-50 to see the Bible plainly teaches this. And since Adam was sent from the garden all of the natural worlds including mankind are under death’s power. They deteriorate. They corrupt which…

THE 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 heard at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SlI8ix_aetM&feature=youtu.be After telling this story the disciples wondered what Jesus meant. Jesus answered them that it was for them who believe in Him to know the meaning of the parable. But, that the reason He told these stories this way was so that for others who would not believe in Him, those that Jesus said are “without”, that “seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins…
