    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    A typical strawman that shows an amazing ability to miss the point. I said...apart from regeneration. I have dealt with MANY conversions and much discipleship. I don't think you know what you're talking about...unless you have found a way to personally regenerate people by the Spirit. I follow...

    My go to's are the ancient prophets...including Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel...Hosea...etc. And also the words of Jesus, Peter Paul and James...not an exhaustive list. I haven't read any other books on the faith for many decades. I remember reading "The torch of the testimony", a number...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Besides fearing God and abasing ourselves in humility before Him, we can repent of our ways and then rejoice from the heart based on our love for God and His ways. We enter into His gates with thanksgiving. God loves the truth. Those who love God should learn to grow in love of God and His...

    What gave it away??? ;) But truthfully it seems you have not yet run across someone who actually knows God's holy standard...the terror of the Lord. Humility dictates that you cease thinking your religious philosophy is the same as walking in the Spirit. You are simply building a sepulcher on...

    You have not understood the bible at it's proper depth. What do you think Paul means when he says that He has translated the saints into the kingdom of His dear Son??? Or the perfection of those who have come to Mount Zion...the city of the living God. Hebrews says "you have"...not "you will".

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Well the past isn't what it used to be. Actually there is no religious system that can represent the kingdom of God. There are just a few individuals and the odd revival that we can know about who were conformed to Christ. All systems are decoys. God is not being personal in His holiness. We are...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    God takes us into the wilderness to sort us out. Most perish there never coming to the knowledge of the truth. It's not that this is inevitable. We can exercise a free will....but to get things right we need to purposefully go against ourselves....swear to our own hurt..go against what was based...

    Another strawman that is basically done as a virtue-signalling attempt at self-affirmation. Look to God for affirmation. You won't get it on this thread. A fact that enervates you. Go elsewhere for you affirmation. Of course you are going to self-justify based on Christ alone. It doesn't mean...

    I've actually gone to the trouble to make a chart and framework that show where the verses you misunderstand fit in.

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    What I was referring to was "evangelicalism" which is the decoy system that undermines the gospel. The law was and continues to be, the law of God. God gave us His law. So this law is absolutely foundational unless you want to switch Gods...which evangelicalism seeks to do by overturning...

    Christians should be honest...selfless, and humble. Anyone coming to this thread should at least know what they are criticizing and watch what is being presented before going into condemnation mode. As in....at such and such a time you said this and you backed it up with this verse...do you...

    But what I am seeing here is a resistance to the tearing down of religious strongholds. Spiritual warfare begins with tearing down imaginations and every consideration that raises itself up against the actual knowledge of God. The Spirit wars against the flesh...so you will always take offense.

    You are proving my point. Completely? Do I do these videos just to harass you? Or am I trying to wake up the sleep-walkers like yourself? Once an easy-believism version of the truth takes hold...that's it. Nothing afterward can make a person open their eyes, or think clearly, or read the text...

    This forum is not about you and how special you think you are. We are discussing doctrinal points and a proper exegesis. All you present is what you've been taught in error by men... and it suits your self-love. Any truth that doesn't tally with your own obsession with self you rail against. So...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Here Paul is talking about the lower righteousness of what men can do. It's just like the rich young ruler saying...these things I have done since my youth. The rich man had asked WHICH COMMANDMENTS? Jesus responded by citing the 5 righteousness commandments (2nd tablet) The holiness laws...

    You are not getting the transition between testaments. You can only see one testament (the old one) and are fully missing the kingdom of God. Old Testament: Physical promised land....physical descendants...physical increase,...achieved by faith. New Testament: Spiritual promised...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    I don't think you are showing that it is clear. What law? What kind of righteousness? Unless you see the difference between holiness laws and righteousness laws you will remain muddled in your interpretations. How many tablets of commandments do you read about? In other words...Paul was not...

    True. But to whom much is given, more is required. Receiving a talent from the Lord means there is an expectation of return on investment. God is fair...no favourites. Going to heaven? Do you mean like Valhalla? For the Christian heaven is meant to be entered into right now. The next age is on...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    You are not thinking this far enough. Being born again is only a beginning....that makes us ready for the race of faith...that most will fail. We have just as much chance of entering the kingdom as the Israelites in the desert had in entering the Promised land. You are confusing the beginning...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    People assume they understand Paul when they clearly don't. Paul makes no distinction when he speaks about law or righteousness. The ONLY way to understand Paul is to look for what he ISN'T saying because he says the opposite sounding thing elsewhere. Those who think that Paul is against a...
