26.7.15

Where do we fit? Law vs Grace!

This is very intense if you have not heard (or thought deeply about) this, read The Holy Scriptures, and pray about it, that the Lord will show you the great mysteries of the Grace Age (that we live in, today)!

Amazing things will be learned when we listen to God's Word instead of everyone around us!


  Ephesians 2:7-9(KJV)

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Below is a video by Grace Bible Community Church in Connecticut...helping to see some things that sometimes are overlooked



 

Colossians 2:7-9(KJV)

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

18.4.14

True Freedom is Only in Christ!

What is FREE?...Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:22-23 (in Context) Romans 6 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations

A gift, is free!
We do not deserve the wonderful GRACE that God gives us
 *Wikipedia defines this as... 
In Christian theologygrace has been defined as "the love and mercy given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not because of anything we have done to earn it",[1] "the condescension or benevolence shown by God toward the human race".[2] It is understood by Christians to be a spontaneous gift from God to man - "generous, free and totally unexpected and undeserved"[3] - that takes the form of divine favor, love, clemency, and a share in the divine life of God.
It is an attribute of God that is most manifest in the salvation of sinners. Christian orthodoxy holds that the initiative in the relationship of grace between God and an individual is always on the side of God.

And we do not deserve MERCY, which God shows us!

                               Below is one of Troy Clemens Bible studies to explain more fully...


Romans 8:1-4

Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

A movie about to be released " Heaven Is For Real", has got my attention, in the the television ad, a boy is telling his dad that he knows heaven exists because someone from heaven, came to tell him! PLEASE...READ,
Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

As usual, Hollywood has been busy making twisted versions of The Holy Bible...the latest is Noah, starring Anthony Hopkins and Russell Crowe.
Upon the heels of this blasphemous version of Noah (above), we are happy to announce that a biblical account of the true story is available at www.answersingenesis.org Noah the Movie" is produced by Living Waters and Ray Comfort.

Since the majority of hollywood is anti-christian, we should always be a bit suspicious of the (so-called) bible (or) faith based movies. Reading God's word, The Holy Bible is the only way to know what is right according to our maker!

Most of us recognize that films with Jesus' name in them, do not make it biblical, such as Jesus Christ Superstar or Son of Man, just to name a couple. There are also many angel movies and/or series, that go against the biblical account, such as Touched by an Angel, Highway to Heaven, It's a Wonderful Life, etc. etc., whether it is people returning from a trip to heaven to tell others about it, which is a popular concept (as seen in video below) or female angels, we know that just because someone says they believe in God, does not mean they know who God is! (Luke 16:1-31) Our creator God came down to us in the form of the man, Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit  (Trinity-God is ONE GOD in three persons)

  




This is what John MacArthur has to say about it...http://www.gty.org/Blog/B121018
