Is our fear of God, or reverence lacking? Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire...

I think Walmart would have it in oils, maybe pills, but probably not the kind that you smoke. That you'd need to go to one of those Hemp shops, I suppose. Dave

Basically, I think that's what tradition has done in the Catholic church. I get the systems, and confessions especially, but remember, they all must claim one of two things. One, that they are complete and without error, and then it must be considered equal to Scripture, even if that idea is...

I probably should have waited until today to write that post. I was tired. I think that everyone has good intentions. Z, are you are you a Calvinist? I'm reformed, but being reformed, people can have a vast amount of differences in their theology. But Calvinism these days seems to be a lot...

Hey EWF They must be talking about the weed with THC. I'm speaking of the weed that has no THC. It won't get you high. But the component that helps with the pain and nausea, CBD, it has that. The Hemp, which doesn't have THC, is legal everywhere. You'll see it as an ingredient for skin care...

Hey Ben. Noah's descendants, right? So these would be Gentiles. Yeah, there were also Gentiles with the Jews at Pentecost. I figured they were converted to Judaism, OT Jews. Acts makes note of them as proselytes. 2:10 "both Jews and proselytes" But these proselytes were from Rome, not all...

Systems can become idols. They must leave room for changes or it must be assumed to be a system that has reached an infallible state, reaching it's final conclusion. But then it becomes equal to Scripture. We should never look at Scripture that way. It's always feeding us, layer upon layer...

@Zaatar71 What if Calvinism is one of the obstacles?

@Earth Wind and Fire I think you can get the basic stuff in Walmart, now. I just googled "where can I buy CBD, Cannabidiol?". It gave a list of stores near me. It might be worth a try. Go into one of those weed shops and ask the guy working there. They probably know more about it that I ever...

I heard that there is a component in the male marijuana plant, which has very little THC, that is very helpful to people who are suffering from cancer. It's apparently very helpful for both the pain and sickness (nausea) from the disease and the treatment. It's not the THC, but it's the CBD...

Heard in a lo....ove song. No, But I did hear it on youtube. Heard this in a youtube teaching recently, and thought I would run it by you people and see what you think. Most of this I knew already, but the part about the long game I had never pieced together before. Some of the stuff at the end...

Hey Ken The distinction that I'm trying to make is that being chosen *to be in* Christ, which is how Calvinism reads it, and being chosen *in* Christ, which is what it says, are two different things. Paul very deliberately continued saying "in Him" we were chosen. "In Christ" we were...

Jon Would the idea of Jesus being the one who was elect from the foundations of the world, and we are elect when we are "in him", that being after we come to faith, put any weight for or against your understanding that is quoted above?

Hey Jon I never really looked at it that deeply. Isn't His death on the cross, considered both satisfying God's justice and punishment? I'm not sure that I'm getting the importance of the distinction. Would you say this is an accurate statement. Your statement describes the belief in penal...

Isaiah 42:1 "Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. Luke 23:35 And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if...

I'm guessing that the point you're making runs a little deeper than what I'm seeing at a glance, but here goes... Would Romans 4:25 qualify? who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification. 1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on...

I'm not sure where you believe the point of contention is. I don't see one.

Emphasis on "in Him, and "in Christ". If we are already in Christ from the foundations of the world, then we were never "in Adam" and never needed to be saved. This is a quote from another source [---] added by me. This really says it well. We cannot overlook the importance of "in Him or "in...

And we are justified by through what? Listen to Paul.... Romans 4:23-25, 5:1-2 Now it was not written for his [Abrahams] sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up...
