Moses or Christ? Paul's Reply to Dispensational Error 2008-03-09 13:32:00 by Charles D. AlexanderHe who would understand the prophets had better begin with Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, where he will find that the Church is one in the Old Testament and New, and the New Testament Church is the fulfillment of all prophecy, the very last phase of God's redemptive work on earth.He will discover in Galatians who the true Israel is, to whom the promises are made and that there is no other Israel, and no further fulfillment of prophecy.The problem of the Galatian believers was the conspiracy to impose upon them Jewish interpretations of prophecy, and to claim over them a Jewish priority or privilege. Paul repulses this conspiracy with unparalleled severity.On this question it was "Paul contra mundum" (Paul against the world) as later it was to be, on another vital q Read more:Christ
Cliches 101: There's No Perfect Church 2008-03-09 06:01:00 I OFTEN RECEIVE THIS PARTICULAR RESPONSE, WHEN POINTING OUT ERRORS WITHIN A GIVEN DENOMINATION.The first problem with this statement is that in nature, it is absolute. To make such an absolute statement, you would have had to examine, at least, every known Church
denomination in the world.The question then is: "Have you visited every Church in the world?" "Have you even examine every Church in your village?" Most likely, not. Then how can anyone, with so much certainty, say, "There's no perfect Church"?But let's consider for a moment that, indeed, "there is no perfect Church".We may NEVER use our imperfection as an excuse (or license) to continue in sin or immorality."What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid." (Rom. 6v1-2a, AKJV, p.500)"What then? Read more:Cliches

London 2008-03-08 13:35:00 by Le Gallienne. Taken from Sydney Watson's 'In The Twinkling of an Eye'London, whose loveliness is everywhere.London so beautiful at morning light,One half forgets how fair she is at night.London as beautiful at set of sunAs though her beauty had just begun!London, that mighty sob, that splendid tear,That jewel hanging in the great world's ear.Ah! of your beauty change no single grace,My London with your sad mysterious face.Ah! London! London! our delight,Great flower that opens but at night,Great city of the midnight sun,Whose day begins when day is done.Lamp after lamp against the skyOpens a sudden beaming eye,Leaping alight on every hand,The iron lilies of the Strand.Like dragonflies the hansoms hoverWith jeweled eyes to catch the lover;The streets are full of lights and loves,Soft gow
Christ the Heavenly Lamb 2008-03-07 17:39:00 Taken from Sydney Watson's 'In The Twinkling of an Eye'Not all the blood of beastsOn Jewish altars slainCould give the guilty conscience peace,Or wash away our stain.But Christ
the Heavenly
Lamb,Takes all our sins away;A sacrifice of nobler name,And richer Blood than they.My faith would lay her handOn that meek head of Thine,While as a penitent I stand,And here confess my sin.My soul looks back to seeThe burden Thou didst bearWhen hanging on the accursed tree,And knows her guilt was there.Believing we rejoiceTo feel the curse remove;We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,And trust His bleeding love.

Roman Catholic Heresies 2008-03-06 16:29:00 THE VICAR OF CHRIST THE POPE is referred to as “Holy Father”, acting on behalf of God. As Mel Gibson once stated, when the Pope speaks from “the chair” it is the voice of God. The Pope also bears the title “Vicar of Christ”. Vicar meaning “substitute”. The Pope claims to be “the substitute of Jesus Christ.” Jesus Christ is the “head of the Church” (Eph. 5v23) - therefore the Catholic
Catechism states: “For the Roman
Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered.” [1] Matthew chapter 23 verse 9 quickly demolishes the “Holy Father&# Read more:Roman Catholic
Why do people stick to 'Christian Cults'? 2008-03-06 12:23:00 Before I answer that question, let me say this: No-one trapped in a cult, ever believes they are trapped in a cult.

They were the very first Christian
Fellowship Church to be established in South Africa. They were a radical bunch - planting more than 700 churches in 15 years. There was none more radical. There was none more committed. There was none more transformative.Yet, slowly, but surely, something, somehow, somew Read more:people

White Witch's Spell in Clergy Comes to an End 2008-03-29 17:31:00 I noticed an article in the Evening Post, entitled WhiteWitch
's Spell in Clergy Comes to an End. A clergyman has spoken of his decision to resign as a Church of England priest after concerns were raised about him training to become a white witch. The Rev Chris Horseman agreed to resign his licence to officiate at church services as an Anglican priest following a meeting on Wednesday with the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Rt Rev Peter Price. The decision will mean that Mr Horseman will no longer be able to conduct services in any C of E church. The Evening Post revealed in December how the 53-year-old, who ordained as a priest with the Church of England in 1982, was training online with the College of Sacred Mists in California. Mr Horseman said: "I am saddened but not surp
The Reverend Jacob Zuma Could Collar The Christian Vote 2008-03-29 17:23:00 by John Scott (Cape Times) He now has an obligation to live as a man of the cloth, and put aside all that behaviour that got him involved in court cases of an unsavoury kind. We could have a very good reformed sinner sitting in Tuynhuys, dispensing words of Biblical wisdom. The only former government head to be a churchman was Dr D F Malan, the first prime minister when the National Party came to power in 1948. The difference is that Malan studied for many years to be a dominee, whereas Zuma became a minister of the independent charismatic churches overnight, without having to study the Ten Commandments, and that sort of stuff. So long as he now remembers that adultery is a non-no, and that he shouldn't covet his neighbour's house, and especially his neighbour's wife and his neighbo Read more:Christian
