Philippians – Dogs, Evil Workers and the True Circumcision – (3:1-14)

    Php 3:1-3  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.  (2)  Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.  (3)  For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and […]

Philippians – Gaining Christ and Being Found in Him (3:12-15)

Christ vs. the Flesh In my view, this is the best part of Phillippians. This is the “Galatians” of Phillippians, or the “Romans” of Phillippians. This is Paul’s description of a spirituality that is increasingly free from legalism and instead, full of Christ. Christ is versus everything. In the New Testament Christ is presented as

Appendix1: A study regarding New Covenant’s distinct connection with Israel vs the New Testament with its heirs.

What the Scripture Says about the New Covenant The New Covenant is stated in every scripture that it is referenced to be for the House of Israel  (Jer 31:31; Ezek 36:22,25 Heb 8:8) It is said to replace the covenant that God made with the Fathers when He brought them out of Egypt (the Mosaic

Following Patrick and Calvin’s Path (towards Calvinism and Gnosticism)…

Examining Patrick’s definition of Metanoia, and Calvin’s Calvinistic/Gnostic answer to the question, “how do I know if I “truly believed?” Patrick: Metanoia, a change of heart?! In Patrick L’s message, “True Metanoia, Angels Of Light, And The Full Counsel Of Salvation (FCOS)” he attempts to establish the meaning of the word Metanoia as a “heart

Romans 1:17-32 Bringing Men Low in Hope that They’ll Come to Their Senses

In the last message, we talked about how the Gospel is the righteousness of God.  It’s interesting.  This is so powerful. We don’t think of it like that. We think of the righteousness of God as revealed in Law.  The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.  In

Apostasy came because the Gospel was lost.

Everyone in Christianity has a sense that the church is in apostasy.  Many even say that it is because the Gospel has been lost.  However, there is a strong disagreement about the nature of the apostasy, and more importantly, what is the Gospel?  The definition of the Gospel is where the “rubber meets the road.”

4. Chapter 30 Accelerated moves toward a counterfeit system

There is a dramatically accelerating shift happening in the visible “Protestant” church, even in the last five ten years. It seems that there are three major movements that are swiftly moving to totally redefine Christianity (and ultimately bring it back into the “Roman” fold). I only have space to speak briefly of them here, although
