To claim “belief” in the power of what was done for us on the cross, only to turn around and struggle with the prospect of continuing in sin, indicates a total lack of acceptance that any and ALL possible future “sins” have been just as thoroughly taken-AWAY as any past “sins.” They have ALL...

So… to quote Rocky (from the Living Bible, in modern English): “Does this (the undefeatable position: that “Sin will not rule over you! For you are not under the Law, but under Grace”) mean that we can go ahead and sin and not worry about it?’ Perhaps Rocky’s biggest mistake, even bigger than...

Because I truly accept what’s been done for me on the cross, I know, one hundred percent, with no “ifs,” “ands” or “buts” that no matter how badly I mess up, I will ALWAYS be PERFECT in the eye of my Father. Whether I do whatever is considered “right,” or whatever is considered “wrong,” I will...

@VictoryinJesus, @ScottA, @The Learner, @face2face and ALL others, Allow me to impose (my broken-up version of) a rhetorical question: What does it mean… to truly accept… what’s been done for us on the cross? I have been listening to you guys, very carefully, and I am still not hearing it...

The “ANDS” alone (of the “ifs,” “ands” and “buts” variety) have turned the pure psychological power of What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross into NOTHING. ANYTHING you ADD to it... takes AWAY from it. And, the Church-Taught have added a smorgasbord to it. My dear Victory, in the two...

@VictoryinJesus writes: “About conscience…what I learned was denying a thing as nonexistent or not there, not seeing it…doesn’t make it so.” That depends entirely on the “thing.” For instance, if the “thing” was never there to begin with — nothing but a delusion, only imagined...

Likewise, the five ROTTEN things destined for Fire Lake are each entirely different things, in and of themselves, in comparison to MAN. “The Beast” is a different kind or thing than is a man. “The False Prophet” is a different kind or thing than is a man. “The devil” is a different kind or thing...

Total FREEDOM is one of the many wonderful things a person gains by truly accepting what’s been done for us on the cross. Are you suggesting by your “sword”-quote, that Jesus does not promote FREEDOM? Uh… as in “The Truth shall (not) set you FREE”? Then again, it stands to reason that you would...

@ScottA writes: "Many shall come..." and here you are rambling on venting your pet peeves and philosophies with a different gospel, which is wrong. Not entirely but including just enough truth to seem plausible. Yet to blather on so is not unlike after Jesus had told His disciples He would be...

“Truth” is where Jesus and the Christian Church part company. Jesus passes the test. Open your eyes, ears and nose already. Do a stadium sound check on one of the BIG trees in the foundation of Jesus’ house. It happens to be a big, sacred promise: “And I — if I — am lifted up from the earth, I...

How do we recognize these wolves? Look beyond the paint job. Take a good look at the trees that make up their houses. And, take special care to examine the fruit that comes from the trees. You know, the “Progress Report.” Specifically, those taught by the Christian Church teach: A “good...

As we ALL walk through Life, we each build our own perspective of “truth.” This applies to both the physical and the spiritual realms. Perhaps the most brilliant metaphor Jesus ever devised was one PERFECT Word to describe a person’s outward expression of his or her understanding of the...

L3astAmOngManyB13ss3d continues: “God reveals himself in order by HIS WORD, not the declarations of man!” What the Living God reveals to us is clear and simple; the Words of Jesus are the indisputable proof of that fact (his Words have, remarkably, come down to us relatively intact). It...

What a tag-Team. @ScottA and @L3astAmOngManyB13ss3d. (lol) @L3astAmOngManyB13ss3d, writes: “Please people, do not be fooled by the appearance of the light, even the devil can transform himself into such. So step up to the task. Test everything. Carefully test every word that comes out of...

The answer lay between the lines of Genesis. Adam and Eve presumed the fruit from both trees in the center of the garden was “the no-no” — the indefinable “no-no” (what we would define as, “off-limits”). Eve reveals this fact by how she answers the serpent: Genesis 3:3 (KJV) “But of the fruit...

Truly accepting What’s-Been-Done-For-Us-On-the-Cross DOES make us impervious to ALL EVIL — for ALL of any EVIL that could possibly touch us (past, present and future) has been taken AWAY. ALL we have to do is truly accept that it has been taken AWAY. That’s the power of the human mind...

@ScottA boldly states: “Being born into this world and coming to the knowledge of good and evil is to be born into a choice.” Question: Are you actually purporting that “The Knowledge of Good & Evil” is a GOOD thing? Yes, Scott… I guess you are saying that. For, you go to say, “That is...

Once one opens one’s eyes completely out of the Box, one can plainly see. Thorns not merely upending the field. Worse. The thorns have replaced the Wheat. Thorns, spreading outward, taking over every inch of fertile soil. Across every nation; and, still, spreading to virgin ears untouched by...

Why do you suppose? Why is it that Organized Religion (evil in and of itself) would be such an accelerate to the worst of EVIL... murder? Because Organized Religion must have things in terms of right & wrong. Meaning? If there is a right there has to be a wrong. Organized Religion can...

Oops. I see I missed another important question. @Beyond ET asks: Despised all religion where's that at?. Sat down with some elders intrigued. My actual comment was: “Jesus despised ALL Religion; yet, he inadvertently became one.” Most of the major prophets despised ALL Religion as well...
