    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    That is how you get crowds into becoming indoctrinated. Many religiously converted ones are now far worse than before their supposed conversion...conversion into what? A religious kook? People can claim to be righteous...that is the province of the self-righteous. The real righteous ones only...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Many will say ...but Lord, Lord, you "imputed" Your righteousness to me...I know because I placed myself in the bible narrative... but Jesus will say, go away, you who practice lawlessness and iniquity...why didn't you heed My warnings???

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    "That's pretty good way if putting it. Another worded is imputed." Modern religionists don't understand what "imputed" means and therefore fully misread the bible. A fictional meaning is necessary because those same inventors of word meanings don't understand what righteousness or holiness...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    The naivete and foolishness of modern religious speculators who claim to be as righteous and holy as God have failed to understand who the author is of such heresies....the devil, who said "I will be as the Most High". A tree is known of its fruit.

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Of course. Abraham's faith is just as important as his works. But this is not the justification of Christ. It just follows the same biblical pattern...hence Paul's usage of Abraham as a foreshadow of God attributing righteousness by faith. But in Christ the justification into Him translates a...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    You just can't learn anything. Putting on the New Man is Christ not us. We are to put on Christ....who is the New Man... The New Man Paul is referring to is the divine template of Christ that saints are being molded into. This is WAY above the pay grade of religious pretenders...who choose all...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Of course. But the idea of being set apart is an OT standard for holiness, for men...not God. God is OTHER. He is unique. A spoon that was used in temple sacrifices for ONLY that use was seen as holy, under temple holiness. In actual fact the spoon remained an inanimate object....and was not...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    You mean those who claim to be as righteous as God? The righteousness of God can only be imputed to One Person.....God. The true question is where is the fear of God in modern religionists? Where is wisdom and humility? All these are thrown out for religious certainty. And if that certainty is...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Find in the bible, beyond the imagination, where holiness is attributed (imputed) to us! It's not there because it is impossible. People don't have their own holiness. You will never find such false doctrine outside the indoctrination of decoy establishments. And the righteousness that is...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    The way of righteousness is disparaged in modern days...causing people to not be able to endure sound doctrine...because of a few misunderstood verses. Case in point. There is none righteous, no not one....that don't sin. On the righteousness level there is no power over sin. There is humility...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    This is false. Jesus came to fulfill the law. And anyone who transgresses the law is condemned. You don't understand either righteousness or holiness....and you are too stubborn to be taught. Paul says that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but keeping the...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    ...and not good news for the religiously affiliated self-seekers. Jesus condemned the Pharisees in His time...and the modern decoy believers are no different. A Pharisee is a pretender, an exaggerator, a decoy to the real thing. And this is encouraged in the modern religious system in order to...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Let's look at them.... To a religious person it would seem that Jesus only accepts those who know His name. This is used hypocritically to condemn all non-believers. And that very shallow viewpoint is seen as reasonable by...very shallow people. And it is dead wrong. The context is...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Jesus said that out of the mouth of 2 or three witnesses everything is established. It is wise to go to more than one author of the bible to get a clear picture of any given detail concerning God's ways. The people who put Paul over Jesus in order to ignore Jesus are acting...

    Fathom is the right word. You need to understand things in their proper depth. Otherwise you are splashing in puddles and trying to understand how a sailboat works. There are 2 levels of righteousness...one is under the law...what men can do. And one is under grace, walking in the power of...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Typical knee jerk reaction to what is only valid in your mind. You need to actually quote what I say....not declare your own mind. And I haven't yet filled in the map with all its nuances and permutations so as to declare what the final chart looks like. I use actual biblical evidence from BOTH...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    How naive can one get? You put your trust in religious clerics who blatantly add to the word...and have no other source for a particular bent than what was added in If you had a real faith and understanding you would not put all your faith in one verse that was added in at a later time...there...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    It's so funny that people much prefer what DEVIATES from the way of Christ...such as the man-made religious scheme that made Christianity a state religion...rather than a living way in Christ. Men have adopted a religious version of the gospel in order to remain worldly and still claim to be...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    In this first part of a five part series on reviving biblical Christianity we lay out a definitive illustrative chart taken from the bible narrative that reveals God's ways - joined together by Jesus into one "Way" in Him. While this may seem to be too daunting a task to have undertaken...

    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    The "add-on" to the Gospel of Mark refers to the "Longer Ending" (Mark 16:9–20), widely considered by scholars to be a 2nd-century addition rather than part of the original text. It was likely added to provide a more satisfactory conclusion, as the original text ends abruptly at 16:8 with the...
