Pelagius further believed that it was possible for man to live a sinless life within himself. His atonement “theory” certainly did not fall far from the tree. http://www.returningking.com/?p=607 http://www.returningking.com/?p=579 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/EiErzc1IEss/ Understanding that sin carries the penalty of death, separation and God’s extended wrath toward the sinner brings one to the natural yearning to understand the nature of the provision God has made for the restoration of man from this condition. Obviously, this series is concerned with such illumination; God has made atonement available. The details concerning God’s provision of atonement is both something so simple that a child can grasp it, yet so complicated than a man can spend his entire l http://www.returningking.com/?p=579 http://www.christiancowgirl.net/index.php/component/content/article/20-a-mothers-love http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/dGa6Qp_6pUM/20-a-mothers-love A Christian Cowgirl devotion illustrating Psalm 27:10 “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.” A mare gives birth to a tiny, chestnut foal, but rejects her own daughter. http://www.christiancowgirl.net/index.php/component/content/article/20-a-mothers-love http://www.returningking.com/?p=574 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/fSy-4aX5xPQ/ It is very popular among certain soft-spoken pseudo-theologians today to downplay and “preach away” the existence of God’s wrath against sin. Placating today’s whiny “I’m okay, you’re okay” cultural sentiments, they express anti-biblical platitudes which decry that “a loving God” would simply not reveal his anger toward mankind whom he loves. Indeed, many are perfectly contented with the idea that God is incapable of genuine wrath; claiming that it is outside of his perfect nature to be prone http://www.returningking.com/?p=574 http://bibleseo.com/john/water-and-wine-jesus-first-miracle-at-cana/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/vSaDrsa0UVs/ This Bible study lesson features Jesus’ miracle of turning water into wine at Cana Wedding (John 2:1-11).

There is, of course, no temple in Jerusalem currently to give fulfillment to such forecasts. The first temple, Solomon’s Temple, was destroyed in 586 BC by the Babylonians. The second temple was destroyed by the Romans along with the dismantling of the nation in 70 AD. Since Israel has become a nation again, http://www.returningking.com/?p=485 http://www.returningking.com/?p=461 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/PPYyMuyMgWM/ While Israel is known to the modern world as a viable nation, it was not that many years ago when biblical prophesies concerning a latter-day Israel seemed utterly untenable. After all, Israel ceased to be a nation in 70 AD and had been abandoned as anything more than an ancient memory. Yet, through unfathomable circumstances, she re-emerged onto the world stage in 1948 as a sovereign nation; as scripture had prophesied would come to pass. http://www.returningking.com/?p=461 http://bibleseo.com/headline/jesus-wilderness-temptations-satan/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/J8tqikyIL34/ Why was Jesus led in the Wilderness by the Holy Spirit? How did Jesus respond to the temptations by Satan? This bible study lesson investigates the temptations of Jesus in the wilderness by Devil. http://bibleseo.com/headline/jesus-wilderness-temptations-satan/ http://www.returningking.com/?p=439 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/M6l5IGibB3g/ As it has been demonstrated that an apostasy must precede the tribulation, and an utter “anti-gospel” is to be the characteristic of a singular religious system during the great tribulation, it only stands to reason that one may trace the roots of the former apostasy to the latter full-fledged abomination which is spawned from it. As noted, I cannot positively contend that our current growing apostasy in Christendom is indeed the apostasy which scripture warns will precede the day of the Lord. http://www.returningking.com/?p=439 http://www.returningking.com/?p=403 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/PXqBe6MmtPc/ The Return of the King Teacher and Student manuals have been released as teaching aids for The Return of the King book (ISBN: 1441468544) by author Jeff Kluttz of ReturningKing.com. The Return of the King (ROTK) book is a biblical study of the timeline of eschatology from a premillennial perspective. It is written to a non-technical audience, with all theological terms explained as they appear in the work. With the ROTK main book as a source material, teachers are now able to use the workbo http://www.returningking.com/?p=403 http://www.biblepassword.com http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/ZN_KF_rt080/ Software that blocks internet access until you enter a Bible verse.

After all, what better means could our enemy employ other than to deceive an entire generation into believing a false gospel? If a false gospel is introduced into the church which can be largely accepted, it serves several important demands of Satan’s own kingdom program. http://www.returningking.com/?p=378 http://www.thechristianwoman.com/blog/2009/04/where-do-you-stand.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/Q4LOehb3nVc/where-do-you-stand.html Have you placed other things ahead of the Lord?

While these texts do not speak specifically about a latter day apostasy, they do speak volumes concerning the very nature of false teachers; namely, where their doctrines come from and why they are to be avoided. http://www.returningking.com/?p=336 http://bibleseo.com/headline/spirituality-sexuality-bible/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/NCQpox8eeFQ/ Is Man Spiritual? What is the role of sexuality? Is there a connection between Spirituality and Sexuality in the bible? This bible study investigates the relationship between Spirituality and Sexuality in the bible and offers practical approach to overcome sexual temptations http://bibleseo.com/headline/spirituality-sexuality-bible/ http://www.returningking.com/?p=320 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GODSurfer/~3/gs-_j4kuDfc/ The great falling away is further demonstrated in scripture by what can best be understood as a “consumerization” of the gospel. A further indication of a future apostasy is noted in 2 Timothy. In this text, Paul does not specify a specific apostasy which will precede the tribulation, but he does note a later time in which men will refuse sound doctrine. And, as will be demonstrated, his teaching clearly articulates the very same elements of apostasia as were noted earlier. http://www.returningking.com/?p=320
