The Prophetic Presbyterian & His Narrow Way

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  22  Many will say to me on that day,‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’  23  Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:21 - 23) Some people think that Christ & Paul taught two different gospels.    According to them, Christ taught we are saved/justified    by faith & works, whereas Paul, to make his version of the Gospel more appealing to the Gentiles, taught justification by faith.  That’s not all true. What works are encompassed by Matthew’s words?   The Sermon On the Mount serves as the covenantal/Penteteuchal/basis of Christ’s lawsuit.      The Penteteuch & the OT in general enjoins Israel/the Israelites to fiercely cling to the L...

For this reason, and because the angels are watching Do you acknowledge yourselves to be sinners in the sight of God, justly deserving His displeasure, and without hope save in His sovereign mercy? Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and Savior of sinners, and do you receive and rest upon Him alone for salvation as He is offered in the Gospel? Do you now resolve and promise, in humble reliance upon the grace of the Holy Spirit, that you will endeavor to live as becomes the followers of Christ? Do you resolve & promise to pursue justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every personal (human) being? Do you promise to support the Church in its worship and work to the best of your ability? Do you submit yourselves to the government and discipline of the Church, and promise to study its purity and peace? For this reason, and because the angels are watching, O LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER(S) & “Go, & sin no more.”...

  According to Mormonism, God has a body. One foundational gospel truth about the body is the principle that having a physical body is a godlike attribute—you are more like God with a body than without. Our religion stands virtually alone in believing that God has a tangible body of flesh and bone and that our bodies were literally created in His likeness. In the Pearl of Great Price we read that “in the image of his own body, male and female, created he them” (see Moses 6:8 - 9). To become as God is requires gaining a body like He has and learning to correctly comprehend and use it. Those who chose not to follow God in the premortal state were denied mortal bodies. The Prophet Joseph Smith stated that    Satan’s lack of a body is a punishment to him. The Book of Romans differs.  What we have studied & taught & PAPC from the very beginning about the relationship between Leviticus 18 & Romans 1:18 - 32 speaks to this issue too.  By way of review: Roma...

           Micah 5 & 6        Romans 1:18 - 32 Now muster  your troops,  O daughter of  troops;      siege is laid  against us; with a rod they  strike the judge  of Israel      on the cheek. 18  For the wrath  of God  is revealed from  heaven against  all ungodliness  and  unrighteousness  of men, who by  their  unrighteousness  suppress the  truth.  19  For what can  be known about  God is plain  to them, because  God has shown  it to them.  20  For his invisible  attributes, namely,  his eternal power  and divine nature,  have been clearly  perceived, ever  since  the creation of  the world, in  the things that  have been made.  So they are  without excuse.  21  For although  they knew...
