The Simple Truth

The simple truth is that everyone is looking for validity, escape from the ennui of existence, and relief from the negative effects of sin.  Jesus is the only way to be saved. We are validated by God's love. Let's be saved so we can know that He loves us. We enjoy life as His made things! Christians have overcome sin and the death it brings. Jesus is the only way to be saved. Find out how. Make your choice now. According to 1 Corinthians 15:1-3a, due to believing 1 Corinthians 15:3b-8, do what's emphasized 3 times in Romans 10:9-13 to be saved; both the belief and action work together for salvation, according to Romans 10:14a.

Giant Misunderstanding of Salvation Imposes Wretched Schism Among Siblings in Christ

A behavioral change does come from salvation. But it's not necessarily visible to other people. And it's not the cause of salvation, it's an effect of it. So if we don't see it - even in ourselves - that doesn't mean we're not saved. Paul's body sinned while he served Christ in his mind (read Romans 6-8). That's established biblical Christianity! We do what God's Word says for salvation - after all, it's Him we have to trust for it, and it's His instructions we have to follow to know how to trust Him for it - that's basic. It's not that there's no salvation without behavioral change, a planned and practiced form of discipleship, but the repentence and the practical acknowledgement of Master Jesus IS the verbal confession of those who believe in accordance with the Bible's declaration of these facts in 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 and Romans 10:9-14a. Good works have been seen as the necessary evidence of faith in Christ. That if your ...

Analysis of 1 Timothy 2-3

 Overall, this is about the type of authority that Paul had, in which he gave Hymenaeus and Alexander over to Satan (1:20). Paul says (2:7) that he is the non-lying truth teller about these matters by the authority of Christ which God gave him, Paul, that particular man, and, in *that* authority, he wills various particular holy behavior to come from both men and women, and he gives the reasons behind it. Pauls makes a point of saying that Jesus saved him, even though he was a horrible sinner, and showed him mercy, and that that is a pattern for us all. Paul was put into the ministry by Christ Jesus our Master (1:12). That's where his authority to say these things comes from (2:7, which seems to me to be very emphatic). It looks like there's a vital connection between a woman's concern with what she wears and the transgression of Eve by way of her victimization by deception. I might be wrong, but it seems to me that vanity (emptiness) is connected to these things, too. Now,...

What the Church Needs Now is Actual Love in the Sweet Truth of the Strength that Comes from God's Wise Scripture

Help the church according to the Scriptures out of our first duty in love, and then, if anything is left, help the World in love, though we don't have a duty to give them our money in the same *continuous*, daily way ("silver and gold have I none, but I'll give what I do have, 'in Jesus name' stand up and walk"). This might abut a fuzzy grey transition zone. Do according to your conscience. But overall understand that we aren't searching out the righteous widow with spiritual organizers to give for physical daily needs, AND we're not actually giving the Worldlings the gospel they need, but have traded psychological manipulation for clear declarations of the tiny simple straightforward gospel that they need. If we have self-confidence that Christ has brought us to a place where we can freely function and work correctly, then if we are beyond having grudges and strifes against each other, then we'll find that we *can* work together outside of rule-ba...
