WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A DOER OF THE LAW- ROM.2:13

Did you know that the Bible shows that even when keeping the law you may still be a transgressor of the law? And did you know that virtually all of the churches have fallen into this transgression of the law by “the deceitfulness of sin”? It’s true. So the Jews that heard did not enter in because of unbelief. And because many now believe that the reason Jesus had to die was to pay a penalty for sin, so that they still need to continually confess sin. Because they have been deceived to believe this is the reason that they are going to hell. By this they do the same thing many Jews did while under the law. Creating a form of Judaism for gentiles. Where men look to the law, rather than the one who gave the law, for…

ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD? OR STILL ONLY A CHILD OF ADAM?

Are you a living soul? Or are you a living spirit? Do you still have only old wine in the old wine bottle? Or new wine? Are all men children of God from conception? Was Adam a child of God when he was made? Is it a spiritual birth that brings a man into being? Was it even a spiritual birth that brought Adam into being? Have you ever thought to even ask these questions? Of course, the answer to these questions is a resounding NO!! Because Adam was natural, only flesh and blood, when he was made. As are all men born since Adam was made. This is why Adam could not have been a child of God when God made him. Because his was not a spiritual birth when he was made. Just as it is not a spiritual…

PUT THEM OUT OF THE CAMP- LEV.13-15–GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INFECTION, AND WE DO NOT WANT TO BE INFECTED OURSELVES, CONTACT WITH ANYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THE C-SHOT MUST BE AVOIDED

As we go through our day to day in this new world of the jabbed and the unjabbed, do we consider the word of God when coming into contact with others? In this message I want to give you something to think about. Lev.12-15 tells Israel how to deal with people that are infectious. We are told in 1Cor.10:11 that these things are written for our example and for our admonition. So while these instructions are not written directly to us. We can glean from them some understanding about what God has told people, especially His people, about what we should do in the case that someone is infectious. I am speaking about this to direct the believer to what their response should be to these kinds of situations. When a person becomes infectious to others. So that we are…

BY NATURE CHILDREN OF WRATH–THE AUGUSTINIAN CULT EXPLAINS WHY THESE WERE BY NATURE CHILDREN OF WRATH BY TEACHING THAT THIS MEANS IT IS REFERRING TO ALL MEN

The Augustinian cult explains why these were by nature children of wrath by teaching that this means it is referring to all men because they have a sin nature that all men inherit from Adam. But, since this is a doctrine that is never taught anywhere in the Bible. By nature children of wrath is most certainly NOT referring to a sin nature. By nature in this passage refers to their being Jews who were under the law. And in this message I intend to prove it to you. When Luther rejected Johann Agricola’s statement that “The Decalog belongs in the courthouse, not in the pulpit. So to the gallows with Moses” calling it antinomianism. It begs the question, isn’t this what Paul wrote in 1Tim.1 when he said, “Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man”? Doesn’t this mean…

GOD’S COVENANT- B-asic I-nstructions B-efore L-eaving E-arth

There is much talk about a treaty we have with the world health organization and whether adding words to it, ie amendments, requires new ratification by our Senate. One side says because these are amendments and not a new treaty there is no need for new Senate ratification. The other says when words are added to a treaty it is a new treaty and therefore must be ratified by the Senate. So the question is, is a treaty once agreed upon still the same treaty when the words in that treaty are changed? Is it the same treaty if you add words to it that weren’t there when it was first agreed upon by the parties involved? And the answer is of course it’s not the same treaty when words are added or changed. Because if you add even one…

UNDERSTANDING GENESIS–The Lord God sent him forth from the garden…

I read a meme recently that made the claim that it was the gospel in a nutshell. It said God made it- Adam broke it- Jesus fixed it. If you believe this is the Genesis account in a nutshell then you do not know the first thing about the true and living God. His Son Jesus. Or what the atonement was for. In Rom.5:12,13 Paul tells us that when Adam sinned it brought sin into the world. Not all sin. Just his. And Paul also said this sin was not imputed to him or anyone else. This means that God did not hold this sin against Adam. So that he, nor anyone else for that matter, was not punished for it. So how could Adam be accused of breaking anything? And how can the rest of mankind be punished for…

UNDERSTANDING GENESIS: GOD SAID IT WAS VERY GOOD; GOD WAS SAYING IT WAS EXACTLY AS HE INTENDED IT TO BE

What so many have been deceived to believe is a behavioral problem for mankind, is actually a spiritual problem. Because what people do is not what keeps them from heaven and eternal life. It’s what and in whom they believe that does. The fact that man was created natural and not spiritual is the issue. And this issue can only be remedied when we are made spiritual. In this message I will show you that it is because Adam was made a natural man, not a spiritual one that created man’s need for Jesus. Because only in this way could God’s plan that men would choose to love Him in return for His love by their own God given free will fill their need for Jesus. This is why God made man in such a way that it would not…

WHAT MAKES 1 COR.15:1-4 THE PERFECT SERMON FOR ALL TIME?

Roberta O’Hara: Found in 1Cor.15:1-4 is the perfect sermon for all time! It’s perfect because it tells the whole story about why Jesus came. And it just happens to be the gospel that Paul preached where he wrote, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” Now before the death of Jesus that Paul began with in this passage, He came. In Gal.4:4,5 Paul said, “But when the fulness of…

TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE… The natural man of 1Cor.2:14 is the “old man” of Rom.6:6 and the carnal mind of Rom.8:6,7. He is natural and carnal because he relates only with the physical senses God gave Adam when He made him. He can not think spiritually because he is only natural and carnal. The fact that he is only natural and carnal does not mean he is bad. Because when God made Adam and the rest of creation He said it was “very good”. The creation including mankind was exactly as God wanted it to be. Natural, not spiritual as Paul said in 1Cor.15:45-48. Natural and carnal in that animals, birds, creeping things, and man all related to the world around them with the “very good” natural senses God gave them to relate with. But, because…

THANKSGIVING TO REMEMBER Our thankfulness is directly tied to our ability to focus on what God has given. Rather than like many who think only on the things we think He should have given. But, God has given all that we need for life and godliness. And for love, joy, and peace that passes understanding. It’s our ability to see this that will bring us to an attitude of thankfulness. It’s the glass 1/2 full or 1/2 empty story. How do you see your life? When 1/2 empty you will find all sorts of things to be sad and depressed about. And over time if you allow yourself to stay that way you will become obsessed with those things you don’t have. To the end that depression becomes familiar friend that you won’t be able to or even want to…
