    Rightly Dividing Calvinism

    What you are doing with the reading of the bible is not justification by faith....it is self-justification by beliefs.

    Rightly Dividing Calvinism

    Jesus came to save us FROM our sins not IN our sins. So you are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to being saved in the present. A future salvation is always possible based on God's mercy. Why do people deny the power of the gospel even as they purport to embrace the message of the...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    True words indeed. Most evangelicals have their own private interpretations based on preferences and carnal understanding. Too many vague ideas...too much imagination and figurative ideology. Too much name and claim. Too much narcissism and selective reading. Not enough honesty and reading...

    Rightly Dividing Calvinism

    There are different levels to being a Calvinist. Maybe you aren't too severe in your own viewpoint. Accomplishes? Here are you referring to a liberation from sin? If so, agreed! We can't save ourselves from sin. If you are talking about a later inheriting of life....that is by God's mercy. If...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    The context is blessed is the man to whom iniquity is not imputed. That means we need to stay away from iniquity...or we will be found out. We are told to depart from iniquity. Those who do not...like most modern believers...will be found out. It's like saying...happy is the one who is not...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Wanky doctrine alert. Behold is just taking the same flawed logic to its obvious conclusion. If you thought it out logically, you would realize you are in the same trap as Behold. God can only impute to us what comes from us. Look up the meaning of impute. Learn and cease from ignorance...

    Rightly Dividing Calvinism

    In this episode we will be seeking to rightly divide the tenets of Calvinism by means of a commentary of a video made by someone who gives his reasons for abandoning this position.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    If you can see that much, then why do you defend the doctrines of men that have brought worldliness into the church....now become a refuge for the unbroken outer man sin nature? And why are you against the higher walk and the calling into the kingdom reality of the Spirit? Honesty works if it...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Amen. The gospel has been reduced to a low standard that doesn't require deep repentance and discipleship. Those who seek for true discipleship in the system churches will never find it. People can't help you if they are as poor as you are. And those who look to make disciples in the system...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    This is carnal reasoning. Sin separates us from God. Repentance brings God's mercy. If you think salvation is unconditional then you are anti-law...basically lawless. Grace gives us the power to walk in accordance with God's law.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    More false accusations. At least you are consistent. Anything that is not overly simplistic and dogmatic...you reject. The truth is beyond your grasp. There are the humble who are called as guests to the wedding feast. But there are the workers of iniquity who make false claims.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    To a bent person anything straight looks bent...because they are looking down their own crooked way of thinking. All who say I am a false teacher are themselves false teachers. All who say I preach another gospel are just condemning themselves, since they are following the ways of men and a...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    I think many people fall into error because they think they understand the bible when they clearly do not. I don't find many honest people among those who claim to believe. What will God do with dishonest "believers"? Can something that is bent be unbent? Those who have received another gospel...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Does God show mercy to hypocrites? Or does He rebuke them...for their own good? Did the Pharisees think Jesus was merciful? With the merciful God shows mercy. God loves the righteous. But with willful and stubborn sinners He shows wrath. He resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    That's what you do by quoting various authors...humans and your own ideas. But quote the bible.... not so much. You seem to prefer your food pre-digested. Why not seek the Lord and get an actual testimony. You rail against my testimony in ignorance., And I have an actual testimony and calling...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Dishonest and false. You are oversimplifying Jesus as a religious symbol to be embraced. Evangelists call people as guests to the wedding feast of the Lord. Guests are NOT saints. Guests are NOT the Bride. The call of a human is not the same as a direct call from heaven. Jesus said to fill...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    This is what is going on in the hearts and heads of far too many in Protestantism. These think it nothing to claim God's righteousness for themselves while denying the words of the Bible that speak of the righteous. So they have a HUGE double sin. First denying what God has justified through...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Haha. Why do you have to twist everything you read? You have to think beyond religious slogans to understand the bible and what I write. I never said that anyone is saved by their own righteousness. Before God NO FLESH is justified. It is God who justifies. Stop the strawmanning and...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Only if these continue in righteousness and the fear of the Lord. Jesus did not come to call the righteous to repentance...unless it is for the higher walk by the Spirit. Actually the wicked enjoy temporal blessings too. But the wicked are not accepted with God. Don't confuse being saved now...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    It doesn't say...those who feared Him and worked righteousness WERE accepted of Him...as if God no longer accepts those who work righteousness and fear Him. Don't filter the text through an already established bent. Stay out of your own mind and stick to what the bible says....IF you want to...
