How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

[Johann]

You have fallen into your own hole. Your ignorance and arrogance are on full display. The fact that your religious pride remains intact (and being MORE puffed up) means that you will be dealt with in a later more permanent way.

"Coptic Christians also use the word Allah for God. Some scholars are of the opinion that the word Allah is made up of two Arabic words. Al meaning 'The' and Ilah meaning God. 'The God' as opposed to 'A God'. Again in line with strict monotheistic traditions"

The more I read your scrambles the more I am convinced you are a Muslim, Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo yeshiva-who worshipped the YHVH of the Jews and Goyim--and don't attempt to enlighten me re Allah-way out of your depth here.

You are clearly in error.

And its quite clear why he goes after me like a bull dog all the time . Cause i continously point to CHRIST alone .
We must contend for the true faith till the last breath my friend . We got out as we came in , FAITHFUL TO CHRIST ALONE .

He is not a muslim , though i understand why you might say that . HE IS of the tribe inclusvism .
To them it matters not what religion one follows . They believe a lie my friend .
The very lie john and paul both wrote about years and years ago .
The lie of anti christ . We shall go out the way we came in , POINTING to CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED .
There simply is no other hope , no other name whereby one may be saved .
They may call that hate speech , but look what some did to the very apostles who preached it .
This world aint gonna love us my friend . But you already know this . Be encouraged in the LORD .
March onwards in the glorious Lord .

1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
1Co 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
1Co 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
1Co 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
1Co 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
1Co 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1Co 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

Quite amazing that those who are in gross error, blasphemers, don't want to be corrected-but attack the messengers,
Stay strong in Christ.

I don't want that......I was simply pointing out an inconsistency in someone who apparently doesn't tolerate ranting very well.....selectively. Amazing how you twist everything in order to give you an excuse to accuse. That isn't honest. Not good fruit. Red flag.


All those scriptures I gave were new testament scrips. Because God HAS NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD. What binds people of the world together is the spirit of the world. And what separates believers from the world and binds us to one another is having the SPIRIT OF CHRIST. We are to come out from among them and be separate according to this new testament scrip:

2Co 6:14-18
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

But does this mean to be unkind and unloving or smug towards unbelievers? Of course not. But you would need to have the Holy Spirit to help you understand what it does mean.


As I said, of course not. Jesus ate and drank with people of the world in order to bring the gospel to them (not for the purpose of partying and enjoying Himself) and we are well instructed to love even our enemies. But it suits you to continually believe otherwise about people who don't agree with you so you can accuse us.


It means more than that.


There is only one name under heaven by which man can be saved. Sounds pretty exclusive to me. And there is no one righteous, no not one.

Have you considered that there are earthly rewards as well as heavenly? People who do right in this life apart from Christ, can and do reap earthly blessings.

Let us examine john chapter two verses twenty through twenty two . THEN know and understand
what spirit this stuff is truly of . IT WONT recognize JESUS as the CHRIST . says there is no need to do so .
Only an anti christ religion of ego would do such a thing . We in the end days sister . This all inclusive religion
is being preached by many and also by the very group who calls themselves satanist too . ITS ALL coming to pass
as it was foretold so long ago . As for us , the lambs , WE STICKING TO CHRIST ALONE . LET THE LORD BE PRAISED .

says the so called overseer of a lie that cannot save .

 

[Marvelloustime]

Peter went around offering an olive branch of peace and understanding
so did the other apostles .
THEY SURE SEEMED TO FOCUS ON FAITH IN CHRIST .
Yet popey focuses on finding common ground and not on preaching Christ .
Peter never went about trying to find common ground , he preached JESUS to the people .
Said ye must repent and beleive as did the other apostles . THERE will be no peace
to the wicked . The only way for a person to be reconciled with GOD , to have peace with GOD
IS to believe on HE whom GOD did send .
As far as the peace and safety these popes and other men speak of , well i have only one reminder for that
FOR WHEN they shall say PEACE and SAFETY then SUDDEN destruction cometh upon them ...................
THIS IS THE WRONG PEACE these men are preaching . SHOULD have PREACHED JESUS CHRIST .

 

[Marvelloustime]

No he is not . IF he were offering an olive branch of peace and understanding
he would have been telling them to repent and believe on Christ . NO he is building and helping to build a lie
which will have all to believe that all religoins are fine in the eyes of GOD so long as we come together
and do good works . You just make excuse upon excuse .
GOD never said to the jews and Christ nor the apostles ever once taught
GO OUT and just find common ground with all . GOD never said to make a covenant with other religions for any reason .
TRUTH is HE said NOT TO DO SO .
OUR mission aint world peace , its to preach the PEACE OF GOD . WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST .
That to have peace with GOD one must be reconciled to GOD . THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DO THAT
BELIEVE IN CHRIST WHOM GOD DID SEND .
YOU do realize if one omits what CHRIST taught , they aint just omitting what some prophet said , BUT WHAT GOD SAID .
This pope aint GOD and if he were even of GOD His mission would be Converting souls by the preaching
of the original gospel which says TO believe with the heart that GOD has rose HIM from the dead
and confess with your mouth . Instead that message implies
buddists , muslims , other religions etc are following GOD . LIE from hell too .
JESUS made it very clear . So did the apostels . Peter would roll over in his grave , IF that were possible , to see
what has become of many places . He offers a delusion to unify the world .
And though hand join in hand the wicked shall not go unpunished . BE RECONCILED TO GOD .
Any muslim or buddist , or atheist , or hindu that actually comes to Christ would have repented of their old dead religion
and now preach CHRIST .

 

[amigo de christo]

As religious bigots do, they will judge anything foreign to them as being wrong...less, inferior, and even evil.

Long before you were born there were Christians. (Imagine that!)

Some of those Christians were Arabs. Actually some Palestinians (that so many Westerners hate) are Christians too. The ignorance of the evangelical right saw Christianity be destroyed in Iraq. That's how ignorant and arrogant Western countries are...especially the US.

Now add to that arrogance and ignorance a Pharisaical religious outlook...for a glimpse into the modern religious culture as nurtured by modern evangelicalism.

A wise person would distance himself/herself from the impending judgment.

A wise person would indeed distance him or herself from the impending judgment .
BETTER preach BELIEVE YE IN JESUS CHRIST , cause all who reject HIM are GOING UNDER that IMPENDING JUDGMENT .
You fail OSC . OSC . Overseer so called . You have failed the masses , you have failed and preach a lie that cannot save a soul .

What is clear to me is that you are not a Christian, sadly. You're bringing another gospel. To you, Jesus Christ being the Way the Truth and the Life is being Pharisaeical.

..and unfortunately he's drinking his own kool-aid.

This is THE LIE . many have bought it too . They bring , as you well said , another go spell which cannot save .
The go spell of the very dragon who sold a broad road love to the masses . which aint love at all .
Its about to get much worse and very fast too sister . They grow bolder and bolder in preaching the lie
and more and more hatred is building against the true lambs who wont conform to the lie .
We have CHRIST , remember the reward that cometh at the end of our faith . This world is about
to strike a dagger of utter hate against the true lambs . By grace i have seen this coming for many years now .
And its sped up and keeps speeding up . We have CHRIST dear sister . be prepared to suffer the loss of all things .
Society and her religions have bought into the lie . The lie that gathers all under a love so false its only enemy is THE TRUTH .

Some folks keep thinking perhaps an alien invasion will be the strong delusion .
But for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear , its here even now . Leading all away from FAITH IN CHRIST
and into a love so false that it accepts all paths and hates only ONE THING . THE TRUTH . Houston , tenemos una problema
en christendom y el mundo . And its only getting far worse and very fast too .
Peace and safety is the mantra of their song , but i tell us that song is all wrong . For sudden destruction striketh
and many shall then wail . They should have preached CHRIST and HIM crucified .

 

[Enoch111]

No one can claim to be justified based on their beliefs any more than we can justify ourselves for our good works.

More DANGEROUS baloney from Episkopos. But here is the truth from Scripture (Rom 4:20-25; 5:1,2)
20 He [Abraham] staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

As we can see Episkopos is an enemy of the true Gospel of the grace of God. Let us hope no one falls for his lies and deceit.

 

[Johann]

What do I care what I appear to you as in the confines of your tiny little mind?

Way. way out of your depth--
Not only does Allah guide people astray, but also has created men specifically for hell. To make matters worse, he even ordains the evil one commits as we have already seen in S. 17:16 and further clarified by this Muslim tradition:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle as saying:
Verily Allah has fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in, and which he of necessity must commit (or there would be no escape from it)." Sahih Muslim #6421, 6422

To even imagine that Allah causes adultery is not only horrendous but disqualifies him from being the God of Moses.

A keen reader might raise the objection that the Bible itself indicates in several places that God had intended to do evil to certain nations and individuals such as Absalom in 2 Samuel 17:14. Or that Jeremiah had been deceived by God in Jer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are well aware that the name Allah is used by Arab speaking Christians for the God of the Bible. In fact, the root from which the name is derived, ilah, stems from the ancient Semitic languages, corresponding to the Mesopotamian IL, as well as the Hebrew-Aramaic EL, as in Ishma-el, Immanu-el, Isra-el. These terms were often used to refer to any deity worshiped as a high god, especially the chief deity amongst a pantheon of lesser gods. As such, the Holy Bible uses the term as just one of the many titles for Yahweh, the only true God.

Yet the problem arises from the fact that Muslims insist that Allah is not a title, but the personal name of the God of Islam. This becomes problematic since according to the Holy Bible the name of the God of Abraham is Yahweh/Jehovah, not Allah:

God spoke further to Moses and said to him, "I am Yahweh (YHVH) and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty; BUT BY MY NAME, YAHWEH, I did not make myself known to them." Exodus 6:2-3

You want to get schooled on who and what Allah is?--no disrespect to my Muslim brothers and sisters IN Christ.

LOL. The American gospel strikes again.

It's apparently dangerous to not be self-righteous.

Did Abraham claim to be justified for his faith? A REAL righteous man NEVER considers himself as being righteous. Why did God have to get involved in Abraham's case? According to modern purveyors of religious errors...it IS biblical to claim to be justified based on one's beliefs. And God's judgment is NOT required.

Amazing!

You are clearly in error.

Oh, YouTube! Now there is a reliable source! LOL!!! How about watching the posts on Sasquatch and the Loch Ness monster or sightings of aliens or ... LOL!!!

My source of truth is the Bible, not YouTube!

And again: To the Muslims, Allah is God. And He is the same God as the Judeo-Christian God. It doesn't matter if the book written of him has different philosophy than the Bible. God is God."

 

[Jim B]

There is only one God. To the Babylonians, Marduk was God. Are he and God the same? Nope! But he was god to them.

And it certainly does matter about the books. The Koran says Jesus was not crucified, but was raised to God and saved from his enemies (Quran 4:157-158). Jesus had to die, that we might live, and to deny this, is to deny the Word, which God has provided for us.

There are, and always have been, many false gods. What is your point? God is God!

And it doesn't matter what books say. There are all kinds of books, some are right, others are wrong. If the Koran says that Jesus was not crucified, who cares? The point is that Muslims, Jews, and Christians all worship the same God.
