    In what way? How does the conscience be cleansed?

    Our conscience is given to us to bear witness of the truthfulness of Christ. And if not cleansed of sin, there's no possible way that we could have any confident trust in anything that Christ is for us, or in anything that He's done for us, or in anything the Spirit says to us through the Word...

    In what way? How does the conscience be cleansed?

    If I quoted Hebrews 9.14, can you do it in your head just like that now? The blood of Christ cleanses our conscience from dead works that we might serve the living God. So, if it is defined in that verse as what a clear conscience does, what does a guilty conscience, what does an uncleansed...

    In what way? How does the conscience be cleansed?

    Thomas Watson says something I thought was worth considering too about the conscience. He says that the unbelieving person does everything he or she can to dethrone their conscience and put it out of office. Well, that's not only true of the unbeliever, but it's also true of the person who...

    In what way? How does the conscience be cleansed?

    A recent SS class asked these questions; Conscience is a part of our understanding. It's a part of our mind. It's a part of the faculty of our mind. It makes use of reason to determine whether or not our thoughts and our desires and our actions are true or false, right or wrong, good or evil...

    In what way? How does the conscience be cleansed?

    YLT how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Barclay: how much more will the blood of Christ who, through the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to...

    Flaws of Calvinism

    Sure......but no one will, unless God enables them. Psalm.14:2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

    WORKS, PERFECTION, AMBITIONS, DEATH IS GAIN, SERVING CHRIST

    From the 1689 Confession of faith; Chapter 16. Of Good Works 1. Good works are only such as God has commanded in his Holy Word, 1 and not such as without the warrant thereof are devised by men out of blind zeal, or upon any pretense of good intentions. 2 1. Micah 6:8; Hebrews 13:21 2. Matthew...

    Predestination is a Beautiful Doctrine.

    you rather we look at the way the holy Spiritoffered it! You seek to limit His sovereignty, we just believe it as it is revealed truth.

    Predestination is a Beautiful Doctrine.

    Now what has been said on ‘flesh,’ the ‘world,’ ‘immortality,’ applies with equal force to the terms ‘know’ and ‘foreknow.’ Instead of imagining that these words signify no more than a simple cognition, the different passages in which they occure require to be carefully weighed. The word...

    Predestination is a Beautiful Doctrine.

    There are those today who are misusing this very truth in order to discredit and deny the absolute sovereignty of God in the salvation of sinners. just as higher critics are repudiating the divine inspiration of the Scriptures; evolutionists, the work of God in creation; so some pseudo Bible...

    Predestination is a Beautiful Doctrine.

    [What does it mean "Elect ACCORDING to the foreknowledge of God the Father?"] God the Father considered all mankind as fallen in Adam. The fall into sin and death did not surprise Him. He in love wisdom and mercy elected to save a multitude of fallen sinners, and Give them to the Son. This is...

    The Words 'sin nature' in Scripture

    This poster is of necessity, quite confused on this issue as he does not understand the Events of Creation of man, in his original righteousness, and subsequently his fall into sin and death, with the lasting effects of the judgment. His anthropology is way off. Read with extreme caution!

    Predestination is a Beautiful Doctrine.

    Hello Charlie. I think I can help you quite a bit here, if you are open to it. I will address your "sign post" thing in a bit. You posted this; Charlie, first thing is, it is not going to help you by calling the sound teaching of scripture, and call it a theory. It is not any theory, but...
