What's the "Favor" Deal?

[Michael The Disciple]

Amen its simple. The Greek word for Grace "charis" just means favor. If we are in Gods grace we are in his favor.

BTW it is merely a theological interpretation that grace means "unmerited" favor.

I wouldn't have been surprised to hear this in some quarters, but these were good apostolic folks. There's even a conference coming up on it

Well...Really it is only is you give into MY ministry! PM me for personal Ministry address and we accept all credit and debit cards, cash and good checks.

Well...we are mere human beings that have a tendency to interpret words like grace don't we?

You know guys - if you keep preaching what you have always preached - you keep getting what you always got!
Favor is not NEW!
One day of Favor, is worth a thousand years of Labor!

Atlanta Bishop, you make me sick! I wanted to be the one to say it. Favor isn't a new concept at all. Unfortunately, most apostolics are obsessed with preaching/hearing the same things (ACTS 2:30, dress code, tongues,etc.) until there is so much that hasn't been embraced. Therefore, they are left out in the cold because they can't move forward.

And what exactly is YOUR problem?
1. Why do I make you sick?
2. I never said Favor was a new concept - I said exactly opposite!
3. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about!

Atlanta Bishop, You make me sick because I wanted to be the first one to say what you said. I agreed with you.

You love my approach!

I am so totally confused - but of course - I was in the UPC for many years and it goes with the territory! LOL

But if I make a contribution do I get a prayer cloth, or shofar, or at least a cd?

You get MY prayer of faith and that is it! Do you expect me to store all that stuff up then spend God's Money to mail it out - just to make you feel good and think you have access to God through all those THINGS?
The access is YOU giving to ME and ME telling God about it! It is VERY SIMPLE! ;-)
