    What exactly is sackcloth?

    My current thinking is...it was black.....a single garment.....that in length was about the size of a mini dress or long T shirt. So that it was just long enough to cover the genitals. Yet it was open so people are more vulnerable. You see biblical cases of people wearing sackloth both when...

    What is the difference between pride and glory?

    1 Corinthians 11:15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." I thought about this some more. Glory is like something that simply IS. Yet when glory is bragged about it becomes pride. If God gave woman the hair and the body it simply is...

    What is the difference between pride and glory?

    Hello thanks for your reply. I do not want to sound like I'm defending Satan, but what you just wrote is against scripture. Such things bother me as they are not the truth. There is no scriptural evidence that Lucifer was an Angel, there is also no bible evidence that Lucifer was an Angel that...

    'I AM' vs 'I am' between old and new testament.....significance?

    I disagree with that. It all has a significance. Like spelling LORD all uppercase in the OT to represent Jehovah the lord of host, the mighty one and holy one of Israel. Jesus never once referred to himself as the lord of host.

    It Is Impossible ?

    Hence the unforgivable sin? No one can pluck you out of Jesus hands. But you can freely walk away.

    Paul was not saved by faith

    Interesting post. I originally thought the old testament was very confusing. But its not once you get to know it and God more. Its like mental challenges and puzzles which make you smarter. It is to the brain what weight lifting is to the body. Hence it is edifying. It yields good fruit. But...

    What is the difference between pride and glory?

    I thought I would ask everyone here to share their thoughts. I will share what I have learned so far or my opinions and you can correct me. The bible never mentions pride to be associated with God. Rather God hates pride because it is evil. Yet if you ask anyone on the street, most people...

    The burden of proof

    I'm confused. Its not my lack of faith that is in question is it? Now, why do most christians if not all invalidate any faith all ex christians ever had? Because it just doesn't make sense honestly. Being born again is a very powerful experience. They try to relate their experience to one that...

    Paul was not saved by faith

    Unrighteousness does begin in the mind. Hence take every thought into captivity for Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5 Also Mathew 5:28 Jesus says whoever looks on a woman with lust commit adultery in his heart. The bible refers to the heart like the mind in that it feels. As a scientist I do believe...

    Paul was not saved by faith

    Well not so much unfair as it was lets say...different....from the standard process. But as you pointed out God does what he wants to. He exalts who he wants and humbles who he wants. Look at Pharoah and Nebuchadnezzar. Brought them up just so his power and judgement could be displayed in them.

    Paul was not saved by faith

    It wont let me go back and add a question mark.

    Paul was not saved by faith

    James 1:15 is a great example. Lust to Sin to death. I use a bank robbery as an example. 1. You lust for money and to be rich so you scheme a way to rob and not get caught (This is iniquity) 2. phase 2 is the actual transgression when I hold someone up and rob them this is the sin manifested...

    The burden of proof

    Ponder this verse - 2 Corinthians 4:4 "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."

    The burden of proof

    If you ever truly knew Jesus Christ, you wouldn't be asking these questions. Your lack of discernment to the truth (thats not an insult btw) shows that the veil has not been removed from your eyes. Its possible you were never really saved. Being saved is a day and night difference. And you...

    Its not dumb to me. Look at how much I have learned here today.

    Paul was not saved by faith

    Christ gave himself a onetime sacrifice for ALL people. Romans 5:8 doesnt seem to fit this though. Sinners is what we are...by default. Its only through faith are we made righteous to God. Abraham's faith was counted for righteousness. So was Sara's and Abels, and Noahs. All flesh is below 100...

    Paul was not saved by faith

    This post is really making me think more about the Godly fear and repentance of Paul, even if very quickly it all occurred to him. Whats interesting is. The heart goes from negative to positive that it can discern and be serious. There are many stories of people who bottom out and the heart...
