First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made in behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. Does Canada have the cards? There's chatter about 51st state, while US makes deals with Japan for LNG, deals with Russia for aluminum, deals with Ukraine for rare earth minerals, drill baby drill, going to Fort Knox to verify the gold. This is why you never have just a single customer, or a single supplier. Here's hoping that Canada is Satoshi. However, no worries for us Christians for the mountain of the Lord is greater than all other mountains.
Faith Alone Faith Only in the Blood is insufficient for Salvation. Just like FAFO, water only is nothing. IE, infant baptism. A matter is confirmed (one's salvation) by two (water and Spirit) or three (Spirit, water and Blood) witnesses. 1 John 5:7-8 For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Therefore, faith in the Blood is the prerequisite for water, and water is the prerequisite for receiving the Spirit for the forgiveness of sin.
2025 goals: 1 Corinthians 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. Godspeed
Fix the heart, fix the world.
This verse is beautiful. It eliminates all boasting and shows that water immersion is part of what some believers that are not yet Christians call Paul's Gospel. 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. How can a seed grow into a tree that bears fruit without water? #faithalone #faithonly FAFO is vain, worthless and dead. Have you believed in vain? 1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye KEEP IN MEMORY what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. What must be remembered for salvation? 1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Isn't this another verse about water and the Spirit to enter His kingdom? Isn't it clear that Paul preached the Corinthians a Gospel that required Apollos to baptize the believers in water?
Under no circumstances take a statin, they make you weak and kill your brain.
Kingdom Gospel, Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Gospel of Grace are all different terms for the same Way of Righteousness that John the Baptist, who had the Spirit from the womb, preached for there is only "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all". Your question that one gospel includes another gospel is nonsensical. The Gospel accounts can be better understood as different preachers preaching the Gospel in their own style. IE Peter preached the same as JTB at Pentecost. (Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sin) Once upon a time 2 Peter 3:16 applied to me because although I was a believer, I was not yet a Christian and I was incapable of understanding. Look at this, this verse is beautiful. It eliminates all boasting and shows that water immersion is part of what some believers that are not yet Christians call Paul's Gospel. 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. Many of these unsaved believers esteem Paul. Not only is this verse an account of Paul's preaching of the Gospel but isn't he also saying that he is nothing? Why would anyone say that they follow "their Apostle Paul"? Doesn't Paul's Gospel of Grace to gentiles match John's baptism of repentance to Jews? When Apollos is preaching to Jews that Jesus is the Christ, and then baptizing gentiles, is he preaching a different gospel? Isn't it that JtB, Jesus, the 12, Paul, Apollos and every Saint to this day preach the same Gospel that one must be born of water and the Spirit believing the death, burial and resurrection of the only Son of God for the forgiveness of sin? #faithalone #faithonly FAFO is vain, worthless and dead. I hope all will become Christians and believe the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:1-29 and Romans 6:3-7. #church #surreybc #Christian #gospel image
Learn how to become a Christian by reading what John the Baptist, Jesus, the 12, Paul and Apollos said and did. #faithalone #faithonly FAFO is vain, worthless and dead. #Christians #SurreyBC #Church image
I believe that there can only be "one way of righteousness" and it began to be proclaimed by John the Baptist. We have seen so many in our lives and on X that are believers who are not yet Christians because they refuse to repent and enter the Kingdom like the harlots and tax collectors ahead of them. Matthew 21:31-32 Jesus *said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even have second thoughts afterward so as to believe him. #faithalone #faithonly is vain, worthless and dead. #SurreyBC #church #christian
Recently, I made some tweets (are they still called tweets in X?) about the mental model of creation from Genesis 1 that I have in my mind. I said that verse 1 is a general statement and that verse 2+ is the how explaining the 6 days of creation. I believe this strongly. I said that in verse 2, 3 things are in existence, God , water and planetary debris. This is wrong. I see now that there are only 2 things in existence, God and water, and that this verse is also emphasizing that the earth has yet to be materialized because the earth is created in verse 9 on the 3rd day. (Side Note: water and Spirit are present at the birth of the universe.) God has spoken our universe into existence starting with light which I take to mean electromagnetic spectrum and in verse 4 He separates the visible light from the rest of the electromagnetic radiation, the first day. I watched this week in wonder and amazement how Terrance Howard appeared to show, on joe Rogan's podcast, in a particle simulation how God's voice through the medium of the firmament (which Terrance calls Aether) arranged vortices of electric and magnetic waves at the correct angles to organize particles of matter very precisely matching what we observe as Saturn today. At least this is how my small feeble mind understood him to be confirming Genesis with his unifying theory of conjugate waves. Let there be EM. Fascinating.
