Jesus said that to build on the rock means more than hearing and accepting (believing about). One must DO what He says. To obey is to DO the commandment. Whoever loves the Lord obeys Him. Obeying the gospel means actually entering into what the gospel is about. One who does this carries one's...

The ones who are cast away from the presence of the Lord are the pretenders in the house of God...and they are saved. Where do you see the lake of fire in the statement? The casting away into outer darkness is a destiny of the saved ones. And you are missing the "and" again. There are two...

Like heaven and earth? The same thing? I have found the and in scripture to mean something very different being compared against. Like light and darkness. Good and evil. I'll break it down for those who are interested. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if...

Why are there so many pretenders in Christ in our time? Why are people so hostile to the narrow door and narrow path? The American style churchianity has opened up the narrow door as wide as can be, even offering free coffee and daycare, attracting crowds....and people are hoodwinked into making...

You are missing the "and" in the verse. Peter is not calling the saints righteous. He is calling the righteous of the nations righteous...who will be judged together with the wicked at the GWT. Yes, the holy must also be righteous...or be filthy. There is no half-holiness. We will be judged by...

The righteous are scarcely saved. But the holy are abundantly saved. People have to learn to make distinctions. That being true, Jesus is speaking of entering into the narrow gate, the subject of my present episode. We can follow Christ from a distance OR enter INTO Him to walk as He walked...

How are we to harmonize a divine equation like...all who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved... with... many will say Lord, Lord, (and yet be rejected)? Why are these not mutually exclusive? Is Jesus really under obligation to receive all who claim Him as Lord? Does it matter how we go...

What is the doctrine to which we hold to doing to us? Does it make us merciful, patient, kind, and loving? A true understanding and doctrine helps us in all those areas. Good doctrine displaces bad/harmful doctrines. It is no wonder that bad doctrines are meant to edify the wrong part of a...

Your theoretical approbation (lip service) flies in the face or your actual position vis à vis any spiritual consideration. A tree is known of its fruit. You have proven to me that you have no understanding of the deeper walk that those who go to Christ in repentance and full surrender can then...

I see no discernment in your understanding concerning the kind of improvement you are thinking you are growing into. More wood, more hay, more stubble. You deflect the discourse to what is obvious in order to obscure the weakness of your position. Increasing in what? Growing in what? Seeing...

What is the difference between building with perishable materials like wood, hay and stubble and building with God-tested materials like gold, silver and precious stones? ( 1 Cor. 3, 2 Tim. 2)) It is assumed that the modern bible reader will ignore all warnings and bet on a best-case scenario...

He crucifies it. I didn't say that Christ in us is the ego...I said you are confusing your ego with Christ. That's backward thinking. First comes the living THEN the walking it out. Tell that to the man who buried his talent in the ground. Did it rise up of itself to produce more talents?

Gobbledigook that is only alive in imaginations. Paul was running the race of faith to win Christ. Not all who run are pleasing to God. Paul was after the higher walk in the Spirit. This is basically unknown in our time therefore his words have no real meaning to people who are smug and refuse...

1 Cor. 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as...

I knew you were going to go there. This is a confusion of the text. Your ego is not Christ. You would have your ego to be the paradox...not Christ. But since it's possible to believe anything about oneself, have at it. The truth is that the part of you that you think Christ is in, needs to go to...

You are trying to bring things together in yourself, that can only be brought together in Christ. You are confusing the ego with Christ. GO to Christ. Seek FIRST the kingdom. Don't try imagining things in advance...in a superficial imagination. Eternal reality is NOT found in the human mind. Let...

Paul didn't run because he had already attained....he ran so that he would not be disqualified from the race. God calls many...but few are chosen. Why are so few chosen? Well, some of these probably think they already have everything and have need of nothing...like say, the Laodiceans. You are...

Here is a shocker. Here is a simple truth that escapes the indoctrinated ones. If you already have something you no longer need to seek for it. If you lack something you do need to seek for it. Anyone who tries to twist the meaning out of this needs professional...

That is your mind indoctrination fooling you. You don't know when to understand things spiritually and when to spiritualize the truth out of things. No one is made righteous and holy through the cross. You have yet to experience what truly justifies a person...resurrection life! If Jesus be not...

I have no assumptions or presumptions. You are trying to figure me out with a limited carnal mind. It is in trying to avoid the truth that you turn to your mind for answers...trying to find bible verses to fit your objection to the truth. You will NEVER admit to anything that takes down your...
