The work of those like the Reformers have laid the safety net to keep us from going off the deep end. That's called HERESY, by the way. When you make up something the Bible clearly doesn't say, and then hold to it simply because you refuse to allow yourself to be corrected by others.

1.) I was unaware that I had my own forum! 2.) None of the Pharisees agreed with Jesus either... And they too insisted their works could save them; HMMMM!! 3.) Verses the state man's Spiritual Deadness: ~ Genesis 2:16-17 ~ Romans 5:12 ~ Ephesians 2:1-3 ~ Colossians 2:13

I do believe that people seek God; just not of their own accord. It has to come of Him, and to Him, and through Him, as do all things. No problem; I just like tossing in my 2 cents every now and again :D

I DO smile like that :cool::cool::p:D

Of course. But dead men DO pay the penalty for sins... or are with Christ in glory. Oh, and one more thing:

Depends; Do dead men seek? How about accept; do dead men accept?

Some people's only goal is to find ways to make Scripture pat themselves on the back.

Why would they bother embarking on a quest destined for failure :):);):cool:

Spiritual increase is not the problem. The problem is when you say you can get this increase outside of expressly The Holy Spirit illuminating the Word Apart from the Spirit's illumination, the Word will not be understood. Apart from the Word the Spirit does not illuminate. You are twisting...

This makes no sense... I stated that the only way we get any Spiritual knowledge is through the Spirit enlightening us to the Scriptures. No contradiction.

This is why I find such abominable heresies such as claiming that you have outgrown the very Word which was with God Himself, and which spoke everything into existence to not only be horrendous warping of Truth, but also downright unChristian. Those who think they can outgrow the Word have...

I believe what you mean [at least, how I took it] is that the Scriptures are inexhaustible; there will never come a point when you can honestly say "I have taken all I can from this book; it can teach me no more." Even with the most familiar of verses, you will find new Spiritual truths the...

The Scriptures also say that Christ has "sheep from another pen" that He must gather also, but you don't see us all dropping on all fours and eating grass.

So, in essence you are not going to answer my question, and it is my fault? Yep... as expected.

Jesus said the not one letter would pass away. There is everything extrabiblical about "casting off" the Scriptures and claiming that you no longer need them, about saying that you have evolved above the need for the very words of God, and to insinuate that you have more knowledge than God...

The Spirit increases our ability to comprehend the word, but as Jesus said not one 'jot or tittle' will pass away. Jots and tittles were things written down in ink by the way, not extrabiblical spiritual concepts.
