What the Church Should Know and Do

If only we could get salvation doctrine correct among ourselves and then move on to separation - treating Worldlings circumspectly with gentleness and wisdom and treating Christians with teaching, rebukes, exhortations, encouragements, reproofs, shunning (not as enemies, but as siblings in Christ), then we would not be confused about who is a Christian and what we should do. Love the siblings in everything and do loving action to your enemies, but know who your enemies are, according to the Scriptures, and don't be their friends, which is enmity with God (according to what God told us by that Special Book He wrote to us). God is knowable by His Special Spirit and by His Holy Book, but the World obfuscates Him, His words, His desires and His actions with pseudochrist look-alikes.  Don't believe them, believe Him, comparing preaching with Scripture like the noble Bereans did. Believing 1 Corinthians 15:3b-8 results in doing Romans 10:9a, 10b, 13 for salvation and Romans 10:9b, 10

The Problem of Evil

The Problem of Evil James 1:13-14 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." Therefore, God is not the author of evil. If God hardened Pharaoh, myself or Peter to cause us to be unbelieving, then God would still be perfectly good, because He is the Source of all knowledge of any goodness (even the superlative thoughts of a humble child), so that we don’t know how to imagine anything more good than He is. That's the bigger issue with all this. If a single person, after being called by Christ, calls back to Him, that means that evil human beings can be saved by calling on Christ, which takes away any thought that God made Lucifer become Satan due to the way God made him or that God makes humans not go to Him due to our sinful state. Christ's lack of call on some is based on His Father's foreknowing. The reason

A Special Forces Demon Attack in a Dream

I had another dream driven by the influence of the special forces demon. I ignored the game at first.  It was a youngster's game - mainly frivolous.  But there was a package of materials involved.  I was asked to do a favor - no, it wasn't playing the game, but it would help them if it allowed the mostly-numb peeling of my finger with the knife-like instrument. Afterward, I went up into the treehouse, where the other person and a large (2 or 3 foot) squirrel was going to play the game, and I was told that I could be in there because I was trusted now that I had done the thing.  Suddenly, they were playing the game with me, peeling my finger with only a little discomfort with the implement even though I didn't want to actually "play the game", I was just willing to help the other outside of playing it.  But I was playing it the whole time. I ran away, and I was quickly chased!  I turned in my running, and I spoke against them in the name of Master Jesus Christ and

ChatGPT on the Bible

WARNING: ChatGPT is not always factual, but the answers it gives here are basically representative of the vast training data it uses.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Organize all the objective directives and statements in the New Testament in the same way. Don't include directives or statements given by people identified as God's enemies or who are otherwise against Jesus or His disciples or apostles. ChatGPT Organizing all the objective directives and statements from the New Testament is a vast endeavor, given the sheer volume and intricacies of the text. However, I can offer a broad overview based on the main categories or themes that these directives fall into. This summary will be a simplification and will not cover every directive or statement. 1. Love and Relationship:     "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31)     "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34)     "Love your enemies." (Matthew 5:44) 2. Fa

Healthy Christians have Faith and Obey with the Expectation of a Righteous Child toward His Parents

Psychology is a useful tool, and it can help us discern soulish problems.  But the answer to soulish problems goes beyond the answers taught by psychology!  The human spirit cannot be coerced by shifting guilt or any such maneuver.  It's all about faith; and it's about obedience to God in the areas that we do know, so that our conscience becomes clean, which enables us to trust that God will answer our prayers!  Sweat through the temptation, asking God to help and thanking Him afterward when we see the help.  Do everything by plain truth.  Reach out to Master Jesus and Daddy God and wait; abide in Christ; don't dismiss or look away from the reality of your sin, but know that He is faithful to separate you from it; expect Him to do so, and wait on Him to do so, and then, when you know you are very clean, ask Him your heart's desire at that time.  He has overcome the destruction in you when He saved you by your belief in the tenets of the gospel (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

Notes on The Rise of Liberalism - Denton Bible Church

Notes taken from "The Rise of Liberalism - The Late 1800's to Present", history12_062099, Tom Nelson, Denton Bible Church Theological Liberalism disputes these: -Trinity -Deity of Jesus Christ -Virgin birth -Jesus' death was substitutionary and not mere martyrdom -Inerrancy of the Bible -Necessity of the rebirth -Judgement -Hell Liberalism started with German philosophy in Higher Criticism that taught seminary professors who then taught the pastors, and they fitted Christianity to a Procrustean Bed: they chopped off everything that didn't fit with those philosophies, including anything miraculous, and they said the Bible is a mere document and not inspired. In America, these liberalized churches responded by taking out anything supernatural (the list, above), and they reduced Christianity to the existence of God, the historical person of Jesus, the necessity of love and ethics.  They reduced Jesus to a mere martyr, they reduced sin to merely being mistaken and the

Does Right Preaching and Action Change Groups or Does it Just Change the Christians who Hear and Do the Righteousness

Do you think that the application of goodness to individuals in a group hardens that group to evil? For instance, has the profession of soldiering been somewhat (more than natural) hardened against the corruption of evil by the generations of preaching and preaching's consequent action that 1) enemies should be treated with goodness in general, and 2) the authority with the sword should be obeyed, because he is God's servant to reward righteousness and punish evildoers? Or is the only useful effect applied to those Christians who preach and believe the preaching to do it, for instance, to respect the soldier or police officer with an expectation that they will do right? Are evil spirits that would affect the Worldlings in those positions or groups affected by the Christians' infusing of righteous action into those groups and positions, such that the groups are not as affected by those evil spirits as they would be without the Christians' acts, or do only we Christians b

Philosophical Differences Between Creation and Evolution

Creation itself is not science, but neither is Evolution (for the same reasons). However, Creation predicts things that can be studied in the present (just like Evolution does). The things that Creation predicts, when tested, are found to be in accord with the entire, unchanging Bible, from which Creation models are derived. The purpose of the Creation models is to aggregate together a single picture of all the things the Bible says about the Universe. The purpose of the Evolution models is to prove freely changing supporting theories of certain unchanging theories of Evolution. The things that Evolution predicts, when they are tested and when patterns are looked for concerning those specific predictions, they sometimes do not pan out. For instance, there is evidence against Evolution and for the Flood from polystrate fossils of trees going through multiple layers that look just like the layers that are normally used for dating in geological evolutionary theories.  These tree fossils e

From Twelve Steps Back to Full Bible Integration for Christians Attempting to Live by Pseudo-Biblical, Worldly Philosophy

 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.  5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.  8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the powe
