    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    You are the most judgmental person here. You only skulk in the background to pounce on whoever rebukes the carnal nature. You are just a troll...never engaging in the OP...just satisfying your own longings....to defend what the Lord wants to crucify.

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    Believing a truth doesn't make you born again. Where were you indoctrinated to actually believe such a thing?

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    What do you mean by saved? A certain status that guarantees you cannot have iniquity imputed to you? Study what forgiveness is in the bible. Forgiveness is to set aside (send away) offenses...that can be brought back unless there is a change in behaviour. And forgiveness does not empower someone...

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    It's good to hear from a true believer. Thank you for your post. And I notice you are actually using a real Concordance to get at the actual meaning of words...which many here have no sense in doing (seeing they ONLY look for a human carnal agenda while ignoring the truth as much as possible)...

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    I don't think any of you know the difference between forgiveness and sanctification. The carnal man only wants forgiveness...not the truth. The vast majority among those who claim to be justified are self-justified. Belief in fables is rampant. There is no safety in numbers. Jesus did not come...

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    Who here thinks that the Exodus story of slavery into freedom is a story of forgiveness? What happened to the those who refused to humble themselves and obey the Lord in the wilderness? Was it God's forgiveness that saw them perish? Or is MORE required of those who experience the blessings of God?

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    You are all missing the point as per usual. God spoke to Paul many times as recorded in the bible....never did God say...I forgive you. That's a foolish thing to require of God. 1. Paul was fearful of being cut-off from the kingdom as any wise man would be. 1 Cor. 9:27 2. Paul said...woe is me...

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    Your issue is with the bible and with the way God actually works and not with me. Find a verse that says that God forgave Paul for all his murders. You are stuck in a carnal trap just lie many others here. You want to finish judgment day right now...but a big surprise is waiting. The truth...

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    Agreed. A static doctrinal position can hide a multitude of different motivations...both good and bad. Not everyone who holds to a static doctrine that is wrong is a bad person. And the opposite is also true. My point is that sound doctrine is based on a dynamic obedience that is in agreement...

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    Doctrine shows us how we ought to live, not what we are to believe. Amen.

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    I remember one time when a fellow worker invited me to take a ride home in his car. He sat in the car, and put the car in reverse while looking out the back window. We waited for the car to move. It didn't. The thing is that he hadn't yet started the engine. That's like what doctrinal salvation...

    Harmful Doctrines Part 1

    How important is doctrine in the life of a believer in Christ? Are we saved by having correct beliefs? How harmful can a doctrine be if it is not both biblically and spiritually sound? Join us as we investigate how we can fall into error and accept what is harmful and unhealthy to growth in Christ.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    That's the thing. You have to decide what you hear...and what you don't. We are each sovereign individuals before surrendering that individuality to God.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    How can you judge me for doing in honesty and truth what you are doing by your own ways? Nobody likes to be corrected. A fool only wants to be approved in what he thinks he is. A wise man receives correction and is grateful.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    You are wrong to imply that a condemnation of sin is the same as being an accuser of the brethren. In your church you might be molly-coddled in the flesh. But not so in the house of God. Notice.. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    Both yes...Jesus Bar Abba on the one side, and Jesus Barabbas on the other. The people must choose. Either be pardoned OR be sacrificed. Not both. Was Jesus both pardoned AND sacrificed? The world is not what we think it is. There is such a thing as reality and truth..IF people want to see...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    People expose themselves as being either nonspiritual (carnal)...or else they will spiritualize (being religiously carnal) the truth away by seeing things in a "figurative" way. The Jews are not philosophers. They are the most practical people on Earth. God chose such a people (salvation is of...

    Work out your own Salvation?

    You are confused and don't understand either the nature of forgiveness...or the nature of being crucified with Christ..LITERALLY. Your theoretical approach will deceive you until you turn to God...literally.

    Work out your own Salvation?

    So much of what I read on my threads in response to what I write is from another spirit.."Mammon" the god of personal benefit. The "What can I get out of Jesus for myself"? attitude. The correct "sounding" dogmatism that tickles the ear. Looking for the correct sounding formula to salvation that...

    Dead Religion

    I'm tricky? Or are you being ungracious in the extreme? I go to the effort of making videos to help people learn the spiritual aspect of Christianity...and make no money from it. But you go to another god, Mammon, to decide whether you are spiritual or not, and listen (for free) to that spirit...
