The Christians “forgiveness” is “once for all,” meaning that God’s forgiveness needs applied only “once” (Heb 10:10, 14), and which is never withdrawn, so it is continually unending and needs not to forgive over and over (unlike the Popish mass supports) but just once, which is eternal...

Satan was foiled in his attempt to turn the King aside from His divine path, but he succeeded with the servants (Satan can cause a believer to commit sin—but the sin will not be willful, as a sinner’s is—NC); and so the highest and best gift of God (salvation—NC) has been the occasion for the...

The Lord’s desire for His people is not that they should be taken out of the world, but that they should be kept from the evil of it (though the Christian commits sin, God keeps them from ever desiring it - Phl 2:13—NC). In John 15 we looked at as here for the Lord Jesus in three aspects. The...

Faith comes before assurance, and assurance before the answer (Faith is always first, for “through” it alone establishes eternal Grace – Eph 2:8—NC). The Gentile woman (Mat 15:22) had faith in the Lord’s power, before He gave her any assurance. His intentions of relieving her were when He gave...

According to the law of conservation neither energy nor matter can be created nor destroyed; they can only be transformed from one form to another. Everything that has been in existence is still here, just reduced to its lowest form of atoms as vapor, which goes out into space, and smallest...

Really appreciate the information about the brush app. Also wanted to mention that God will use our old body to establish the new body. He put a lot of store in our old body, I think because His Spirit dwelt in it! "But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He...

Yes, the body is corruptible concerning the physical, but not concerning the spiritual, for it "is the temple of the Holy Ghost" (1Co 6:19). It's the "old man" or sin nature that corrupts our spirit; but that is remedied by Christ's atonement, which is applied by the Spirit and is how we can...

When we read the epistles to the Romans and to the Ephesians carefully, we cannot but see the difference between where the Gospel places us on earth, and where knowledge of our position puts us. In Romans I am a justified man going on to glory, fulfilling (because walking is the Spirit) the...

Hi Sis, and appreciate the encouraging reply! God's blessings to the Family!

Note: Please let me know if you ever decide you would rather not to continue receiving these messages. I realize viewing something that may be difficult to understand might not be very encouraging, so I don’t want to chance confusing anyone. Thanks and God bless. -NC Clear Communion There...

The most difficult thing Christians go through are the “temptations” they are to endure—and a Christian will endure every single one. Know that God uses everything—especially the trials, for the benefit of believers (Ro 8:28). This promise alone is enough to use to deal with the hardness from a...

The primary word for understanding the Trinity is “representation.” Thus the Lord Jesus is the “exact representation” of God (Heb 1:3), which I believe answers to why Christ is occasionally demonstrated in Scripture as “God” or as the “Father” (Isaiah 9:6). The Word is not the Father and the...

Hi, and thanks for the instructional reply! It's my belief that the Body of Christ is in a "spiritual lull," many Christians for the last half century have not read and studied the Bible as much as they should have, and therefore their growth in Christ's image are spiritually stunted! It's...

The theme of this article is knowing the definite possession of heaven for the Christian! Moses could not enter the Promised Land for going beyond what was instructed on him. He could only see Canaan but was not allowed to enter in. Christians can see the New Heaven in the image of their mind...

Christ’s teachings can be a little difficult because He taught three dispensations simultaneously (Law, New Covenant, Millennial Kingdome). Of course the Law, since Christ’s ascension has been “taken away” (Heb 10:9; 7:19; 8:7-13; 12:27, 28). Nevertheless, there will be a New Covenant for Israel...

It should be borne in mind that the legal kingdom requirements as stated in the Sermon on the Mount are meant to prepare the way for, and condition life in, the earthly Davidic millennial kingdom when it shall be set up upon the earth, and at that very time when the kingdom prayer, “Thy kingdom...

Thanks for the lesson, and you're right. I thought it meant something different. But a heretic will always be "self-condemning: "A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself (Tit 3:10...

Hi, and thanks for your comments! Frankly, I wouldn't put any stock into anything that derives from the RC; the entire religion is anti-Christian because of their anti-Christian beliefs; one of the most depraved is "Immaculate Conception, which teaches that Mary, mother of Christ, was "born...

“For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you” - 1Co 11:19 (this answers to why there would be evil—to know what is good—NC). Heresy is a work of the flesh (flesh, i.e. “old man” or sin nature—NC); “Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred...

It is a very serious question—a question of great interest to oneself, but yet a greater interest to the Lord Jesus. What are we here for? He was here for us. Now we are to be here for Him. It is a great moment for your soul when you apprehend that you are here for Christ as a member of His...
