I recommend that you strive to make sure your nakedness is covered And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king...

I'm referring to all of the laws that Moses wrote, which are epitomized by the 10 commandments. The law of Moses is holy and good for man. It points sinners to GOD's righteousness, but it is not righteousness itself. It is good for education in righteousness, but it cannot bring righteousness...

No, I'm not going to the trouble of digging all that out just to have you say you don't believe it. John did say 'Behold the lamb of GOD taking the sin of the world'. John's gospel The strength of sin is the law, but we are dead to the law, so sin's power over us is broken. Paul's writings...

Oh there is law; it's just not the law of Moses anymore for those in Christ. All the righteousness foreshadowed by the law has been fulfilled and now resides within us in Christ; an external law is for the disobedient and lawless: For the law of the spirit of the life in Christ Jesus freed me...

Did you ever talk with a fellow named Todd P. from Rose Creek? That's like saying paganism, or pantheism, or panentheism can be misused just like any other behavior.

The seven year period began when Jesus was baptized with the holy spirit, and (IMO) ended when Peter baptized Cornelius in Caesarea (Acts 10:1). Jesus confirmed the new covenant with Israel for 3.5 years, was cut off, and then his body confirmed the new covenant with Israel for the next 3.5 years.

Scott, were the children of Israel saved out Egypt in their sins, or were they saved from their sin in Egypt?

I don't believe you can show me anywhere in scripture that Jesus took away the sin of the world. John called him the lamb who was in the process of taking away the sin of the world. In my mind that won't completely happen for at least another 1000 years. On the cross, Jesus took away the power...

No, it was a loose knit group of brothers. One claimed he prophesied that the stock market would close at a certain number on a certain day, and according to him it did. This was before I met him. I don't have any reason to doubt him because I have personally experienced something similar. Don't...

When I got saved, I gave away everything I had and emptied myself for GOD. I won't go into detail about what I experienced, but I will say that some of it was demonically influenced. The only things that kept me from believing it was from GOD were the word in my heart and the discerning spirit...

I've been there friend. It's not all as it seems.

I strongly disagree. There is too much evil behind mysticism to make that kind of equivocating statement..

Their sin separates them from GOD. Living apart from the glory of GOD forever would be torment. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:2

Couldn't agree more

You have no idea what I have experienced.

Of course it does. I'm not denying that, except for the vulnerable part. It requires an obedient ear and a supple heart.

All mysticism is based on the occult. Christian mysticism is just mysticism dressed in Christian clothes.

Who is it that says being faithful to the revealed will of GOD is not knowing him? That's rather presumptuous, don't you think?

We are to hold fast and remain faithful to what we have been given. We are not commanded to delve off into the deep attempting to discover some new thing about GOD. Faithfulness is what saves us, not some experience called spirituality. Abraham had specific knowledge that gave him the faith to...

Faith is being persuaded that GOD is worthy of being trusted based on the witness he has provided in his word, which is comprehended with the mind. Anything else is vain and leads away from the cross and eternal life.
