Hi brother dave, I note you were wondering if Epi's blog name (Episkopos) was his 'street name'. Episkopos means 'overseer' or 'Bishop'. Epi claims that he has been 'vetted' (appraised) by God for this position as an overseer over the church. Unfortunately his gospel of works disproves this...

Hi whitestone. Thanks for your amusing (although extremely biased) description of Episkopos. Others on this forum gave honest descriptions of him though and really honesty is better than ignoring facts. One Mod here even described Epi as an 'arrogant so and so' which is an accurate description...

Hi Epi, Faith: Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But your gospel is based on physical evidence as proof one is abiding in Christ. Your claim of understanding 'faith' based on a physical proof before acceptance of it, is not faith.

Hi Trekson, I see Episkopos has set his sights on you. No doubt you've already read enough posts here to have some idea of the debate going on here over 'grace'. My advise is beware of the leaven (doctrine) of Episkopos.

Hi whitestone, We clearly differ in understanding of scriptures as we both follow different gospels. A Christians works are to believe on Jesus (John 6:29). It's by grace that we are saved, not of works of the law, Eph 2:7-9 But you see works in the same way as Paul did before his conversion...

Hi whitestone, You conveniently ignore the confrontational style of those on your side of the fence (especially your friend Episkopos) whilst you call similarly confrontational opponents 'vile and disgusting'. Your prejudice and inappropriate criticism will not help your standing here and will...

Hi Epi, You are incorrect claiming that only a perfect lifestyle/behavior shows whether one is really saved or not. So what does scripture say? 1John 5:1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, 1John 3:2 Beloved, NOW we are children of God; Gal 3:26,27 For you are all sons...

Amen ! If the firstfruit (Christ) is holy, the lump (believers) is also holy, Rom 11:16

Hi dragonfly, You asked if those laws you listed are works? Our 'works' are to believe on Jesus (John 6:29). We see that the law of faith, the law of Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is all based on these works. Even the commandments we keep, as described in 1John 3:23 (believing on Jesus and...

Hi dragonfly, I noticed your recent replies to brother dave and would like to remind you (and Axehead) that your biased criticisms in this debate are still being maintained. I’ve mentioned this before regarding your overlooking Epi’s confrontational style whilst criticizing those on the other...

Hi dragonfly, I referred to that link you posted of Kidron’s topic on “how to understand you sin…’ and could not find any posts of yours. Were you perhaps meaning a different topic? Also, a reminder that I’m not following a lot of topics as I don’t have the time. It is likely that I have not...

Hi Epi, You have consistently accused others here of unbelief/not abiding in Christ because they believe God's promise. Yet you yourself have consistently shown that you are still in the flesh, in that old nature you accuse others here of. You deny Christ by your works. That is why your being...

Hi dragonfly, Just a reminder that I don't have the same time for forums like you may have. Shorter posts with less question and points are appreciated. Regarding your query on my grammatical details, I am a first generation Australian. My parents native language is not English. That no doubt...

Hi Epi, Walking by faith is something you do not understand. Until you turn to Christ, submitting to God's righteousness, then you will continue to misunderstand scripture.

Hi dragonfly, Epi stated that we are not immune to any laws. I recall you also made a similar claim. I have previously posted quotes from both you and Epi supporting this. Epi also has been claiming that most here are following fables in believing on Jesus. He also says his doctrine makes...

Hi Axehead, Our doctrines clearly differ, hence your bias for Epi and your allegations that I have it in for Epi. Epi has consistently alleged that many on this forum are following fantasies in believing on Jesus and he suggested they are lost as they do not follow the same doctrine as he that...

Hi Axehead, Regarding 2Pet 2:19 "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Note also Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being...

Hi Epi, What makes you think the church is the "NEW" mission field? Deceivers were infiltrating the church with their gospel of works way back. Your own gospel of grace + works of the law (following the Laodiceans, Rev 3:14-16) had been around well before you came along pushing it here.

Hi brother dave, AMEN ! Good answer. Hi Axehead, My apologies if I misunderstood you allegiance to Epi as acceptance of all of his doctrine, including perfect obedience to the law as proof of abiding in Christ. Eeek !!! how did you add all those pictures, etc. I just noticed it now...

Ahh Epi.....I'm glad you asked... :) I know you'll reject this answer as it contradicts your works of the law gospel, but I'll offer it anyway. So what are these deeds of the body that we mortify, remembering that if we don't mortify them then death is the result? Heb 6:1. Therefore leaving...
