    Spiritual Warfare

    Tried to point this out to Epi before, but here goes again: “Not for ours only but for the sins of the whole world”…..is John saying not for the Jews only but also for the nations……it is talking about the gospel being not for Israel alone but also for the Gentiles. “The Saviour of all men...

    You can become more like God via theosis/divinization and man inherited death, not sin

    Deification? That is a heavily loaded word, which again is not found in scripture. Scripture says there were no other Gods before Him and will not be after Him either. Scripture also says we must not go beyond what is written. Jesus said we shall be "like the angels". Angels are referred to...

    Spiritual Warfare

    I can read it. And I can see that you are not rightly dividing it too. You are the one who needs to pray for understanding, clearly......from wherever you are.

    Spiritual Warfare

    Hmmm, it's funny how you always need to be brought back to the point of the post, Epi. Ironically and unfortunately you don't seem to think much of the GOSPEL, or of FAITH, or of RIGHTEOUSNESS or of THE WORD OF GOD (except for some cherry picking). Don't know what your spiritual warfare is...

    Amen. And it's so grieving.

    Spiritual Warfare

    It's not hard to see why your way would appeal to the pride in people.....your elitism is shocking. Aside from false doctrine on other subjects, I'm seeing now that even the way you are going about the subject of holiness is off. Not surprising since the foundation is wrong. Think you missed...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Amen. Spiritual warfare in a nutshell: putting on the WHOLE armour of God - helmet of SALVATION, belt of TRUTH, shod with the GOSPEL, having the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS, shield of FAITH. Ironic isn't it...........? I just believe what God taught me recently...

    What becomes of our faith if the Genesis account is NOT literal?

    No that comes from trying to lean on your own understanding/intellect instead of seeking GOD for understanding....the natural man can't perceive the things of God because they are spiritually discerned. Your carnal mind has you believing that God creates some people to be homosexual...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Amen again.....the core messages needs to be Jesus Christ and the gospel, always. I was enlightened by something that our brother Johann said along those lines recently.....the problem with "denominations" is that they each have taken one aspect of the truth and made that the centre of what...

    You can become more like God via theosis/divinization and man inherited death, not sin

    No, they didn't jump ship soon enough! Should never have gotten on board that ill-fated ship to start with! When we see spiritual truths being ensconced, captured, boxed up, set in cement with extra-biblical terminology, it is often a clue that the flesh and carnal mind have gotten hold of...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Amen brother. It is that same one and only gospel of "repent and believe in Jesus Christ and ye shall be saved" that is to the Jew first.....THEN THE GENTILE. Any other way to be saved and climbing into the sheepfold by any other way....is religious dribble, oh my.

    Spiritual Warfare

    Smoothly evading and distracting from the point as usual I see. But you aren't who I am speaking to anyway. All I am talking about here is what IMPUTATION means in the context of Romans 4. Epi's definition is wrong and those passages I posted prove it to be wrong. And it is clear that he...

    How did Paganism get into the church?

    Amen, it absolutely is. Talmudic Judaism unfortunately is not of God, but is a mixture/corruption from the Babylon captivity. That has serious implications for the new Temple they are going to build in Jerusalem. We as believers must TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING.....have nothing to do with...

    How did Paganism get into the church?

    Nothing new under the sun. It is what the flesh is prone to unfortunately. True Christianity is a Way....it is a new Way of the Spirit, the Way of the cross....not the way of the flesh and world. But take the Holy Spirit out and you are left with a dead religion in the name of Christ and all...

    Boeing Problems

    Seems like some part is falling off one of their planes every week.....most of these problems seem to be non- life-threatening as far as I can tell. Occurred to me that it might be disgruntled employees fed up with Boeing taking potentially hazardous shortcuts...and this could be one way they...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Just posting this for the sake of others who might be reading. The scriptures themselves tell us what they mean: Rom 4:3-8 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was COUNTED unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Me too! He calls that the strong delusion, if we believe that God is imputing a righteousness to us that we don't possess on our own. Been over that at length on these threads......unfortunately Epi has an entirely wrong concept of what that word means and is unwilling to listen to reason...

    Do the Dems Really Want Biden for Pres?

    Yes, unfortunately we have the lunatics running the asylum, here too in my country......these are such bizarre times. God's judgment. I pray there may be repentance and a turning back to Him.

    Spiritual Warfare

    I agree. Abraham had this thing called faith........and faith is not of our own that no man may boast, but is of God. Some folks are not taking into account that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world, and that God's works were finished from the foundation of the world too. But...
