401: Christians Should Be Different!
I Cor. 2:12, 13 teaches: "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." The apostle, Paul, instructing the young evangelist, Timothy, wrote (in I Timothy 6:3-5, saying: "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, ... Thus, fornication, or adultery, is the only cause for divorce satisfactory to God. Paul instructed Jesus' followers regarding family relationships as follows: "Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything." Paul also said: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Study carefully Ephesians ... ...

402: Trinity proof texts: John 5:18
The irrefutable argument stated: Jesus quite clearly taught that he was equal to God. This was the clear impression that Jesus listeners had of Jesus' teaching, and they wanted to stone him for it. Comments: It is important to note that Jesus breaking the sabbath was the first recorded controversy that John records in the single most important chapter in the gospel of John to prove the deity of Christ. The sabbath controversy allowed Jesus to give one of the most compete statements of his divine nature. No where does the Bible say that Jesus did not break the sabbath. ... Jesus called himself the "Lord of the Sabbath" meaning that Jesus stood above the sabbath law as its Lord and is as little bound by it as the Father. This title also means that Jesus knew, as the ultimate judge of the mankind, when the "law of greater good" was correctly applied and when it was not. Such matters of Judgement belong only to God, and not much wonder they wanted to stone Jesus! Jehovah's Witnesses, ... ...

403: The Old Testament Canon: The council of Jamnia: 90 AD
Think about it, only after God destroys the Jewish religion, do the Jews get a fixed canon. There was clearly a fixed canon long before Jesus was born and when Jesus was tempted by the Bible three times, he did not reply, "human, man-made church tradition says Satan" Rather all three times Jesus replied, "It is written", (Matthew 4:1-4) referring to the Old Testament canon. In other words, the Devil didn't ask, "Written in what?" for everyone, including even the Devil knew what books ... James Bernstein, Orthodox churchman, 1994, p 5, p ) b.

408: Can Ordinary People Understand The Bible?
Making this question real and deep are the many and varied interpretations given the scriptures by the teachers and learned scholars of the denominations. Each denomination feels its interpretation to be correct and many of them feel the interpretations of the others are wrong. To resolve this question, we must appeal to the word of God, the Bible, to find if clear directions can be obtained from this source. This is a reasonable thing to do since ... After the church had been established, this expectation and requirement for uniform understanding of the doctrine of Christ was voiced by the apostle, Paul, as he addressed the Christians of the church at Corinth: I Corinthians "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you." Jesus' prayer and Paul's admonition to the Corinthians are neatly summed in Ephesians 4:2-6: "With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another ... ...

425: Lesson 25: Salvation Summary
... I would also like your input as to what you think of this course. If you were to die today, do you know for sure, without a doubt, that you would go to heaven? Remember most people will not go to heaven, Matthew 7:13-14. Do you believe in God and Christ? I am sure you do. Are you willing to repent of your sins and confess that you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? Will you be baptized (immersed) for the remission of your sins so you can be saved? Then the Lord will add you to His church, the church of Christ, where we can worship Him faithfully until death when we will receive the crown of life in heaven. Please answer the following questions as they applied to you at the time you were saved and not as you now understand what you need to do to be saved. 1) Have you ever been saved? YES NO 2) Did you go forward in church at the time you were saved? YES NO 3) Did you accept Christ as your personal saviour in order to be saved? YES NO 4) Were you saved and your sins forgiven at ... ...

434: 3 Old Testament Antitypes of the blood of Christ

He was innocent and sinless yet suffered as if He had sinned. Jesus is our scape-goat! Just as the scape-goat was driven into the wilderness. Jesus was crucified outside the gate of the city of Jerusalem. The blood of Jesus therefore is a central theme for the redemption of all mankind. Eph 1:7. The blood of Christ justifies: Rom 5:9. It sanctifies: Heb 13:12; cleanses: 1 n 1:7; Washes: Rev 1:5; Brings us near to God: Col 1:20; The church was bought with the Blood of Christ: Acts 20:28; Rev 5:9. Now the grace of God sent His son to die for our sins on the cross. Eph 2:8, "By grace you are saved, through faith..." In the redemption process, God supplies the grace and man supplies the faith.
