The Narrow Path Ministries

pilgrim, your truth seeking attitude made this thread a blessing to read through. I hope some of the explanations in this article could be helpful to you. http://kmeministries.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=477&Itemid=68 I don't know anything about that website but I know the man who ...

Benstenson, I gather I won't be convincing you with words Do you only want to talk to me if I am convinced by your words? Why do you say that? The Bible says, "Let no man deceive you with vain words" and "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, just like He...

I believe that God is so righteous and His commands are so high and many that it is a tremendous task to even gather them all, much less accomplish them- for any human. The Bible says God's commands are not too high, and we don't need to travel great distances to gather them: “This commandment I am...

Where does the Bible say that if we love God and our neighbor with whatever ability we have we will likely get His Spirit? It doesn't. See Acts 5:32: Acts 5:32 New King James Version (NKJV) 32. And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given (aorist indic...

dseusy, I responded to most of what you said. It is kind of long because of the quote boxes. I don't mean to be blunt, but I have a hard time believing this is easy for you, or that it is a light burden. Is it something about me personally that makes you say that? In my opinion, obedience is a light...

I think about this often. The Bible doesn't say God will provide food and clothing for us in the ways we expect, through a job, in a vinyl-sided house, etc. The Lord said the birds and flowers DON'T work, and look at them... They don't even fill out job applications...? I think, sometimes, as a test...

Your first statement, “The ability to stop sinning does not remove the need for atonement” seems to contradict your second statement, “If the issue had been a lack of ability, then the Lord would not have had to suffer.” To me, it looks like this, “We are able to stop sinning, but we still need Jes...

If we could cease sin, we wouldn't need Jesus to die for it. God commands all men everywhere to repent. That means all men everywhere can repent (stop sinning). The ability to stop sinning does not remove the need for atonement. Jesus didn't die for us because we were cripples and helpless victims ...

Faith and works that come from love are good. Herod had faith and tried to murder Christ after inquiring diligently about the star. Faith or works that come from anything but love are nothing. It is the underlying love that makes the difference. We all have different abilities, but if we have love w...

Is there anything unbiblical with saying that God’s only power is the power of love, in which there is no domination, coercion, or violence? God is love (I John 4:8) – that is the defining divine perfection – and God is love from tip to toe. “Omnipotence,” T. F. Torrance says, “is what God does, an...
