The was a good reminder of what the Apostle Paul tells us. Those who go to Five Dove have already seen it but here it is anyway.

"The simplicity of the gospel"

Dear friends:

This morning I woke up thinking about the sheer "simplicity of the gospel."

It really is simple, but too often complicated by humans and their religious rituals, religious kingdoms, sometimes complex, and even sometimes with funny looking costumes and hats.

Here it is:
"I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:3 NKJV).

Two verses stand out as demonstrating that simplicity;

1. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

Requirement: Believe in Him.

2. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9.)

Requirement: Faith.

RESULT: Gift, grace, and salvation.

God does it all. All we do is believe. Jesus did it all for us.

What about obedience?

Obedience springs from a grateful heart.

Jim

Hi Charles,

Thanks for posting but it is hard to find anything Jim Bramlett post worth reading.

He and John Tng at Five dove will not allow FREEDOM of Submissions.


I have evidence by several people that have tried to POST on FIVE DOVES but THEIR SUBMISSIONS are not POSTED.


I myself have been a victim of their unfair practices.


THEY ALSO BELIEVE IN A 7 YEAR PRE TRIBULATION and although they put on a veneer or OPENESS to post different view points they prejudice the POSTS on FIVE DOVES.


THE 7 YEAR PRE TRIBULATION DOCTRINE THAT THEY SUPPORT IS FALSE.

THEY DO NOT GIVE FREEDOM TO SHARE OPPOSING VIEWS.

Thanks for posting Charles

I do infact MYSELF from time to time post articles from FIVE DOVES but they are few and far inbetween.


Jim Bramlett chastised me as being arrogant because I did not believe in a 7 year PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE.

Jim also told me that he has studied the bible for over 30 plus years ( yet this makes me question how did he conclude in a 7 year pre tribulation rapture ? )

Simply put the scriptures do not support a 7 year pre tribulation rapture.

Let GOD BE TRUE and every man a liar.


God Bless
