Statement of Faith & Disclaimer

MY AFFILIATION

I am but a sinner washed in the precious blood of the Lamb, led of the Spirit to share my testimony of my walk in Him. I am not affiliated with any denomination, doctrine or organized church association. I am a part of the spiritual body of Christ, in this light, I am a member of HIS CHURCH, as the heavenly Father desires those to worship Him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23-24 In the midst of various churches and teachings, my commitment is to Christ and Him alone.


STATEMENT OF FAITH
I believe that it is every believer's responsibility to test the spirits as explained in 1 John 4:1-6.
With that in mind, here's what I believe:
  • Jesus is The Christ, the Son of God, born of a virgin, crucified, rose from the dead and is seated as King in heaven.
  • Who will, in the fullness of time, will return to receive us unto Him. John 14:1-4
  • His sacrifice served as atonement for our sins. Belief/trust/faith in Him translates into forgiveness and reconciliation with God the Father. John 3:16
  • His departure from earth brought forth the Holy Spirit, who is God, dwells within those who accept Christ’s sacrifice as atonement for their sins. Acts 1 & 2; John 16:7
It is my hope to create a place where believers can dialogue and uplift the word of God. To clarify the term “believer” is necessary. Many, from various denominations, label themselves Christians or believers; yet don’t necessarily believe the same thing or even study from the same bible. In this blog, the term believer is used to refer those who believe in the infallibility of the Word of God. With that said, there is further necessity to clarify the book believed to be infallible. The unchanged, unaltered Holy Bible (words that are not added or taken away from Scripture).

BIBLE TRANSLATION

I study out the KJV bible and will use this version for all my dialogue regarding scripture. The Bible GateWay website is a wonderful source of bible study reference that has various translations of the bible as well as The Blue Letter Bible. Also, www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html is an online concordance.


DISCLAIMER

I do not any way shape or form promote myself to be an certified Psychologist, theologian or any professional counselor, psychologically or otherwise. I am but a sinner washed in the blood of the Lamb, and am led of the Spirit for guidance and truth. However, I do promote myself as "certified" in my own personal experiences as I run this race towards the Glory of His Return. I hold every reader accountable for their own knowledge of the Word under the guidance of the Spirit. My source for knowledge and correction is the Holy Bible. 

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" 2 Timothy 3:16

The Law of Sin and Death

By -
A relative and I were having a fascinating discussion about sin. He made a statement that rang very true to me. "So many Christians are obsessed with sin". For a long while, since reading other posts and forums about sin, I've been dwelling upon and studying about that matter. Although I've been compelled to analyze the subject by post, I haven't felt prepared to do so. As you all know, I'm experiencing a trial that proves to be a continuous battle for my faith. It has been a trial which continues to manifest the truth of Scripture, the Word of God, to my soul. It is during hard times such as these when the Glory of God is a sight to behold. And His goodness, a pleasant taste! "O taste and see that the LORD is good..." Psalm 34:8 Why do we obsess with sin? Either of our own or those of fellow Christians? Has Christ not set us free from the law of sin and death? "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of

Confessions of a Former World Wide Church of God Member

By -
Now some of you may have heard of The World Wide Church of God. For those of you who haven't here's a brief, basic, summation of WWCG, as described by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia : "The Worldwide Church of God (WCG), formerly the Radio Church of God, is a Christian church currently based in Glendora, California , USA. Founded in 1933 by Herbert Armstrong as a radio ministry , the WCG under Armstrong had a significant, and often controversial, influence on 20th century religious broadcasting and publishing in the United States and Europe, especially in the field of interpreting biblical end-time (eschatalogical) prophecies. However, within a few years after Armstrong's death in 1986, the succeeding church administration, led first by Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. and then his son, Joseph Tkach, Jr. , examined and changed the doctrines and teachings of which the WCG held fundamental differences with more mainstream Christianity. Many members and ministers left the WCG to

Translation vs. Paraphrase

By -
Up until about four years ago, I studied primarily out of the New Living Translation. It was simple to read and I was comfortable with it. However, I did notice through out my studying in that specific translation, that passages just weren't making any sense. My husband preferred the King James Version and studied out of that, our studying together almost always ended out of the KJV version for the simple fact that the NLT was not adequate in conveying some of the principles of the Word. My husband, at that time worked for Tyndale House Publishing (which publishes the NLT version) gave me a Bible published by them called "The People's Parallel Edition". This edition had the KJV and NLT side by side. It was only then I began to see a true difference between translations. Romans 8:1 in both of these versions comes out different. Romans 8:1 KJV says "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
