One has to ask....does a happy meal really make you happy? :rolleyes:

I believe in a second death...annihilation of both the body and soul...not an everlasting torture. The everlasting shame is on those who are in the house of God. Outer darkness with no refreshment. Knowing the terror of the Lord I warn people.

What is the justification of life? Zoe life is a KIND of life...a Christ-life, a God-life, an eternal life. We enter into that life by grace through faith. A Zoe life (eternal life) received from Christ displaces the carnal soulish life that is sold under sin thus liberating us to serve the...

There is more than one level to things...faith, righteousness, judgment...etc....even grace (sample and fulness)? The only thing there is NOT more than one level on is holiness. One is either holy or not. But faith has two levels...ours and Christ's. The NT is based on the faith OF Christ...

As a child so an immature or carnal believer. There is an exact parallel between an untrained child and a "spoiled" believer who has not gone to the cross to be dealt with in the outer man. What makes matters much worse is that there are doctrines in place...MANY such doctrine that impair the...

Forgiveness is NOT the same as atonement. God has ALWAYS been merciful. But atonement is to be cleansed into a holy state...without any spot or wrinkle of sin. The Blood of Christ cleanses us into the life of Christ (Zoe) to walk as He walked...by grace through faith.

Don't forget the gospel according to "Pauline"...the misunderstood teachings of Paul...inspired by Paul's evil twin sister...twisted to serve the carnal religious person. Very popular with those who have no love for the truth...but love to feel justified in their fallen state. :)

Willful sin is sin based on stubbornness...a stiff-necked pride. A willful child throws a tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants. Such are unteachable...unreasonable. Indoctrinated people are willful in holding onto and promoting their views. Religious certainty is a soul-killer.

I cause you to stumble? There is a difference between stumbling in the carnal religious pursuit...leading to an actual seeking of God...and stumbling in the innocence of the inner man...causing a person to be grieved in the Spirit.

"Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant." Those...

Your accusations are based on ignorance. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. "My people perish for lack of knowledge"

Slander from religious posers is normal where truth is preached. People should NOT be surprised that I am attacked for my testimony and teaching. :)

You are not to bear false witness as you do. You are the one judging...I'm leaving it to God. God judges...and hypocrites

The issue of sin is tackled in the gospel. The modern translation translates a liberation from sin (aphesis) as a mere "forgiveness"...or turning a blind eye to sin...and that is based on unbelief in the gospel. Jesus came to save the world...from their sins...not IN their sins, as many prefer...

Amen...all this partial holiness is so wrong. It is the sin nature that comes up with this stuff and accepts it as truth. There is no mixture in holiness. It's funny that people will say you can't be a partial Christian...that becoming a Christian is an event. But so often those same people...

To push the fulness of God into an after-life is to forego on the faith that attains to it. By grace through faith. Not many have faith. Jesus said it would be rare in our time. Unbelief is the norm. We should expect many nay-sayers to grace. But notice how God doesn't hold back His grace from...

In your scheme there is no test of faith....just the kind of belief that a Viking had that there was an after life in Valhalla.... if he could just hang onto his sword. This is on a religious level, NOT a spiritual level. The "afterlife" is according to hope not faith. Many confuse a future...

Thanks for your comments Hep! :) I've heard about the Keswick movement...anytime the truth is made to be a system or technique, it will fail. The truth has to be treated differently from all the dogmatic ideological ways of men. God is NOT an easy touch. We have to come fully to the end of...

Amen. I think we come onboard with God's hard training when we see our own failure...as Paul records in Romans 7...so that we cry out for a full deliverance from our sins. Some here want to think that the wilderness walk is all there is...and for many this is true. Is the training ever complete...
