Not all of them. But didn't Solomon say of the writing of books there is no end? He apparently had cottoned on to the vanity of it. I've read a few in my time and that is why I prefer to stick to the bible. Books can help some people be engaged I guess, but a huge problem is that until they...

This is where some of us disagree with Epi in particular sister....you may have missed some of the earlier conversations......he doesn't believe these things have been imputed/given to us. He doesnt' believe we have been raised with Christ until we enter a "higher walk". Whereas I believe as...

Yes, and He WAS raised for our justification.........He both died and was resurrected for our sakes.....it's a package deal, not compartmentalized. Walking in newness of life IS walking in resurrection life, according to Romans 6. Go have another look at it. We were regenerated when we came...

Problem I have with so many "Christian" books is that they are trying to re-invent the wheel that God has already invented....and in a subtle way it robs Him of His glory. Usually they come with human add-ons, if not outright twists, that go astray of the plumbline of His word. He has already...

Act 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Act 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: Act 26:18 To open their...

Why does it have to be one or the other.......it's about all those things. Are you compartmentalizing again?

Oh well, keep having it your way if you insist. For now. You didn't answer my question about what Jesus said about needing to be born again to enter the kingdom, and what His statement does to your doctrine of those who are not born again entering the kingdom by their own righteousness. And...

The devil is a clever and deceitful beast, that's for sure, but not smarter than the Lord, and it wont' do him any good in the end. Think you know very well that people here are not disputing that we need to deny and die to the flesh and carnal nature. Since you accuse of that, please show us...

This is one of those things that may have an appearance of wisdom........but is it really..?.....since scripture itself says scripture is PROFITABLE for us, not crippling. If some people never hear from God directly I'm sure the bible isn't to blame but it is for the same reasons it has always...

...and no doubt there is a purpose and agenda behind his OP. I wonder if he'll come out and actually state what it is....or will he just continue to sow seeds of doubt regarding God's word, which is an agenda in itself.

2Ti 3:13-17 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able...

I agree, in part......am not sure it is limited to that.

1. I think in general we should be aware that it is easy to misunderstand either the content or the intent of what others say on forums especially. 2. That part of the carnal nature that takes offense too easily and wants to react needs to die out or be healed. 3. Self-awareness is a good...

In my opinion, from observation, it often seems to be a self-protective response. Protecting some area of insecurity or fear or pride, etc.....causes people to take offense too easily and get aggressive and go on the offence. An area of the soul that hasn't yet opened up to the Lord for that...

Absolutely agree. Interesting that I just read a little article that just came to my e-mail about glorying in the Cross. There are those who seem to glory in something else besides the Cross of Christ. Think that tips us off to there being something off if Christ and the cross are not at...

UN-believers need to believe in Jesus or perish. Believers already believe. Jesus said except you be born again you CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.......ye MUST be born again.

Hmmm.....if needing to believe on Jesus.......is religious junk......what do you call a doctrine that says unbelievers can be saved by their own righteousness? Do you agree with that?

Amen!

Amen. Something wrong if someone who calls themselves Christian can't even agree in principle with scriptures....because it contradicts their doctrine. They have nothing left but to resort to throwing sticks and stones at you. Even worse if they consider that to be spiritual.
