What I think is that this is just more false assumptions and accusations to deflect from truths and scriptures that people are bringing that don't line up with your false gospel which you are unable to answer and address. And since you ask, I also think that you might need to examine whether...

No problem with repentance at all. On the contrary.

Sure do gratefully accept the impossible and the undeserved, unspeakable gift. But unfortunately you are the one denying it....you would undermine the gospel and people's FAITH in it. Can't help but wonder whether you are fallen from grace or never had it to begin with. So sad that you...

Epi is conveniently overlooking something here... wonder why he stopped at Heb 4:2 and left out Heb 4:3 which says clearly "we who have believed do enter that rest". Those verses are all clearly talking about the gospel....speaking to the Jews about needing faith to enter the rest of God, ie...

Whoa. No. The Israelites were like most Catholics are.....nominal believers who have only heard and read ABOUT God but don't KNOW Him personally. Believers are those who have met and know the Lord by FAITH......we received faith that is not of our own by being birthed in the Spirit and...

Amen sister. As for me, I don't see myself as being "spiritual" yet. In the meantime we are ironing sharpening iron and just speaking truth to our neighbour, reproving each other, in hopes we might see ourselves as we need to see, leading hopefully to our betterment. I think motive matters...

Amen!. That is well said and I agree. He seems too literal and compartmentalized in how he is seeing a lot of things...that is the carnal mind not the Spirit and mind of Christ. Amen, yes I'm hearing you. Thank you brother. We have to be careful of taking the analogies of scripture too far...

Well, I can't drink from THIS fountain. It's unfortunate that your attitude taints what you are saying. Just can't help yourself, can you? Still need the Potter to do some more work on your clay it seems. It's as though you think the scriptures have nothing more to teach you...is the...

Amen, true.........and it seems to be much the same for us, like those Israelites we are humbled most when we blow it and make mistakes after coming out of Egypt when we were slaves to the god of this world.....it teaches us how we in our flesh fall short and are insufficient in ourselves, when...

Yes, it was quite literal for the Israelites back then, but I believe it is all a figure (allegory/parable) of the gospel too..........Moses (the Law) couldn't lead them into the land of promise.....it was weak through the flesh and Moses was reacting in his flesh when he struck the Rock a...

Eph 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the...

You can't be bothered in other words. Well, thanks. I can think of things that have been a lot more tedious to put up with around here.

Brother I'm still trying to understand the wilderness trek of the Israelites....how these things happened to them and were written for our admonition. I believe it is all a living "parable" or picture of the believer's journey. I just don't see the "one and done" the way that Episkopos seems...

We've been badly infected with political correctness in our society....it's not like this in all cultures....but people in the west are too sensitive to the concepts of rebuke, reprove, correct as being just a normal part of life and being human and iron sharpening iron. And it has infected the...

ok, yes, within congregations/gatherings of believers efforts should be made to deal with sin in the camp. But I would consider "the" church to be in spirit, not a visible, tangible organization as such. There are tares among the wheat who don't really belong to "the" church, even though they...

Deu 8:1-6 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness...

With regard to those inside the church, I think regardless of how it became known, once it does become known (in the light), if someone is living in sin of any kind, whether in fornication or homosexuality or robbing banks or beating one's spouse, it needs to be dealt with and not...

The bible teaches us that our responsibility is to follow/obey the Lord, "investing" our gift of faith and GROWING in it.....according to scripture. And the results of that is the work of God, that HE may be glorified, not us.....He is the Potter, we are the clay.....leading us to be refined as...

Exactly. One would think a little humility would be in order from someone who once walked a "higher walk" but fell from it.
