The kingdom of God is in the spiritual realm where there is a visible light. I'm speaking of having the spiritual faculty of seeing into the heavenly realm. God dwells in light. To be where He is to to walk in the light as He is in the light. We see this testimony of light with Paul who...

We who are called to be in Christ NEED that to save us. Otherwise we are lost. Others may not have that same need' Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.

The devil swallows up new believers by indoctrinating them ....inoculating them from the truth by redefining words and using unbalanced interpretations that deny holiness AND righteousness. And one that indoctrination takes root it is almost impossible to dig up. It requires burning to remove...

Oh my. There is a LOT you are not seeing. Why do you limit God to what your tiny brain can assimilate? Where does the assumption of privilege come from? To whom MUCH is given MORE is required.

I will try to explain the bible to an untrained mind. :rolleyes: The passage above doesn't say....EVERY heart is deceitful. Jesus Himself corrects this notion by calling Nathaniel a man in whom is no guile (deceit)...AND Blessed are the pure in heart...for they shall see God. What is unsound...

But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” For the time will come (and now is) when they will...

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Grace is deceitful. You have nothing to compare your experience to...unless you read ACTS and compare to what a revival looks like. Again, your statements are all about you. A very childish and novice sentiment that has no grasp on the universal truth...

Human faith is all that most people have. Just look at how people read the bible...everything revolves around the SELF....the temporal needs of today or the promises in the future. No testimony of any present glory. So a little discernment is all one needs in order to see where a person is at...

Being cleansed by the word doesn't require a degree in theology. It is not a scholarly pursuit...quite the opposite. It requires a simple and child-like faith that many drift away from the more they study the bible. Why is that? A lack of understanding of God's ways. Adding in the human mind...

Imagine someone going to a lot of expense to advertise a product that no one could buy? What would be the point of getting people interested in something they could never have? Jesus advertised the kingdom of God. The diligent seekers get translated (harpazo) into it. So then what is the cost...

No one corners the market on religious extremism. Although some here make a great case. The religious ego NEEDS to go to extremes to cover up their guilt and the darkness in their souls. The call to love and be merciful works with the pure-hearted. But we know that these are few. Most just...

The Holy Spirit is not limited to a dogmatic theory conjured up by a denominational bias. We can tell when someone THINKS they have an exclusive access to God...and they don't. A lack of mercy and openness to others knowing as much or more than we do tells us that the person doesn't know God at...

People misunderstand what holiness is....true holiness. People read ABOUT the New Covenant in the bible without knowing what it is...the power of it in resurrection life. Because of that, the gospel is downgraded to...come as you are and stay as you are...with a few moralistic improvements (that...

Happy to oblige. :) There is no sinful holiness. The New Covenant is not a marker but the real thing. There is a major upgrade from the blood of animals to the blood of Christ. In fact the difference is absolutely revolutionary. Maybe you didn't get the memo??? The modern church soft-pedals...

It can't be seen as slander unless it's directed at Mark. At this point Lizbeth will probably get a personal download from somewhere that contradicts this and somehow justifies whatever she comes up with next. :rolleyes:
