Um, no, it isn't for that reason...at all.

You seem to be missing the point there.

Yes perhaps, but unfortunately Epi denies the foundation of the faith, saying those precious things like imputation of righteousness don't apply to the born again believer unless/until they are perfected in this life. If he didn't do that, we might be able to start looking into the rest....but...

2Co 1:17-22 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was...

Amen. I think of the fear of the Lord as being on a spiritual level, not the flesh.....to give Him His due reverence as our King.....like wives reverencing their husbands, as we are the Bride of Christ. Knowing WHO He is and the power and authority He wields and what He is capable of in...

Who are the "we" you are constantly referring to and making presumptuous assumptions about? Only those without the Spirit and His faith would call the wonderful truths of the gospel that are known and received by faith "religious ideology".

He certainly does favour His children more than those who are not His. But that is in the way of blessing, not in a human way of favouring and being preferential. We who know the Lord are blessed with blessings and promises that those who are not His just aren't. Doesn't mean anyone is...

What I think is that this is just more false assumptions and accusations to deflect from truths and scriptures that people are bringing that don't line up with your false gospel which you are unable to answer and address. And since you ask, I also think that you might need to examine whether...

No problem with repentance at all. On the contrary.

Sure do gratefully accept the impossible and the undeserved, unspeakable gift. But unfortunately you are the one denying it....you would undermine the gospel and people's FAITH in it. Can't help but wonder whether you are fallen from grace or never had it to begin with. So sad that you...

Epi is conveniently overlooking something here... wonder why he stopped at Heb 4:2 and left out Heb 4:3 which says clearly "we who have believed do enter that rest". Those verses are all clearly talking about the gospel....speaking to the Jews about needing faith to enter the rest of God, ie...

Whoa. No. The Israelites were like most Catholics are.....nominal believers who have only heard and read ABOUT God but don't KNOW Him personally. Believers are those who have met and know the Lord by FAITH......we received faith that is not of our own by being birthed in the Spirit and...

Amen sister. As for me, I don't see myself as being "spiritual" yet. In the meantime we are ironing sharpening iron and just speaking truth to our neighbour, reproving each other, in hopes we might see ourselves as we need to see, leading hopefully to our betterment. I think motive matters...

Amen!. That is well said and I agree. He seems too literal and compartmentalized in how he is seeing a lot of things...that is the carnal mind not the Spirit and mind of Christ. Amen, yes I'm hearing you. Thank you brother. We have to be careful of taking the analogies of scripture too far...
