And just more, passive aggressive and sanctimonious virtue signalling from a troll who comes to my threads only looking for self-affirmation...and jumps on the bandwagon of many who insult me for speaking the absolute truth...which no one can refute except by having certain indoctrinations...

I agree with justification by faith alone...but only for the higher walk in the Spirit. What Luther did is to take a holy standard, and drag it through the mud and made it accessible for every self-seeking pretender looking for an easy bargain that promises a future "Valhalla." Basically, Luther...

The bible promotes works righteousness. But the illiterate and self-righteous read themselves into the bible according to self-interest. That's what you identify with. Why? Because it's natural.

And the natives would still have their land?

Martin Luther....who invented "another gospel" and drew away many after himself. Jean Calvin...and all who follow an extremist delusion.

This is backwards unless you mean that the foolish believe every word FROM God...as opposed to every teaching they get indoctrinated into through the religious system. The "foolish" are wise from God's perspective because they believe the impossible. They swear to their own hurt and see...

But that's just what you are doing. You are building your own righteousness by claiming to have God's own righteousness for YOURSELF...which is far more outrageous than what the Pharisees claimed. They claimed to do what the bible said according to the law...and they justified themselves by...

And He has also hidden things from those who read the bible to justify themselves. It's ironic that the very ones spoken against in the bible have the most "assurance" of a good outcome for themselves.

religious teachings from institutions that replace a direct connection to God. The teachings of "experts" and scholars who live by speculation.

Well, for someone who claims to be a Christian you don't seem to be familiar with anything Jesus taught. What are you building your gospel with?

Again with the extremism. You are just like the Pharisees who taunted Jesus by asking Him a loaded question so they could accuse Him of something that they misunderstood about the law. You aren't here but to accuse...not to learn. But to the honest seeker... Almost all rich Westerners need to...

You aren't paying attention. Repentance from sin is on the righteousness level. Faith INTO Christ is on the holiness level. It has nothing to do with your religious spin, you mean. Your gospel has neither righteousness NOR holiness in it. It is truly man-made.

This is an extremist viewpoint that denies God's mercy. To the extremist it's all or nothing. That works for holiness...which you don't have. So by NOT having mercy you forego it yourself.

Repentance? Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance so long as the way of holiness was not yet available. Righteousness was the best we could do. Why stop people from doing righteousness? But when the New Covenant was fully achieved then ALL men were called to repentance INTO...

I think you just tanked.... :rolleyes:

Are you being so bold as to not claim to be as righteous as God like some here? ;) God's righteousness is His banner over us who enter INTO Christ. His righteousness is like a tank we enter into for protection. We enter into the tank by being IN Christ. We, however never become the tank. The...

His rest....yes. I watch baseball sometimes...and the players that are trying to earn a place on a major league team, I find interesting. I cheer for the lesser players that are hanging on for as long as they can...giving value to the team they are assigned to. I identify with those kind of...

When Jesus was among us in the temporal world He spoke many similitudes to the kingdom realm, in an effort to convey it's principles...and ultimately God's will. Now, back then they hadn't yet invented baseball. I'm sure that Jesus would have used baseball to compare realms had it been invented...

It is important to do that is one wishes to swallow a lie whole. If a man believes a lie then he becomes a liar upon confession. God makes things from nothing, speaking things into existence that are not. When a human does this it's called...an imagination, a lie, a dream, a pretense. Tying...
