    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Yes, I fell from a very high place and it was devastating. I was in a daze for the first few years after that. I thought I'd blown it with God...in a permanent rejection. But over time I came to realize that I did great when the grace was raining...but the Lord wanted me to humble myself and be...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    This requires a full surrender to God with a WHOLE HEART. As in...you will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. Coming from a rich country it's very hard for us to need God to that degree. Jesus said that it was very hard (or impossible) for a rich man to enter into the kingdom. But...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    That is a popular misconception. Forgiveness is Old Testament. Holiness and glorious perfection are New Testament. Read what God says on the subject in chapters 18 and 33 of Ezekiel. God judges by what we DO not what we believe. Beliefs are not salvific. Faith in God to do the impossible is what...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I didn't write the bible or form the heavens and earth. The higher walk is for those whom God elects to do that. To be bothered by that is a sin of pride against the ways of God...a sin that is unable to esteem oneself as small or unimportant. I think you place too much importance on yourself...

    False Balance in the Modern Church

    I post this here not so much because I think the doctrine is unorthodox, but because it will be controversial....controversial and true. What keeps us from experiencing the life and power of the early church? Are we ready to let go of many of our modern interpretations of the bible in favour...

    A sound judgment is as lacking today as a sound doctrine since these both require discernment.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You understand this to be figurative obviously. You haven't yet realized that being seated or walking in heavenly places kinda sounds like a higher walk...or experiencing a higher realm....but an indoctrinated mind doesn't make such obvious connections... But Jesus did say that faith would be...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Normally people understand better by using different words that mean the same thing...and examples etc. An indoctrinated person wants to hear the same wording over and over again thinking that is being properly understood. LOL. It's easy to assume one is living by the Spirit. Just keep walking...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You have received a sample of the new man...the way to walk in it is to go to God and enter into the narrow way to walk in another realm...that of the Spirit. Again, I'm not disparaging a faithfulness based on a human will....but we must compare like with like...spiritual things with spiritual...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Forgiveness and the power over sin are as wide apart as the Old and New Covenants. Forgiveness is Old Covenant. Holiness is New Covenant. So you are in the very same pursuit as Jews. But the New Covenant is about a new nature and power over sin...to walk as Jesus walked in HIS perfection, and...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    As false as can be. Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom as related in the bible at least 4 times. You don't understand the bible, the gospel or the kingdom...and are led by semantics not the words from God. But chew on these verses and learn something... Acts 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Forgiveness is not on the same level as holiness. Forgiveness is based on righteousness and holiness is based on...holiness. I think you don't yet understand the difference as vast as it may be. Start there.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    False. We are still in our sins if God overlooks them. God is a God of truth and He doesn't respect persons in judgment. So a sin is a sin is a sin...no matter who does them. If forgiveness was only possible through the sacrifice of Jesus then we would not be told to forgive others...we would...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Your gospel is false. You would have Jesus be counted sinful by God....whereas He was sinless....SO that we can do the opposite game and sin away so we can be holy. It's the upside down god...the opposite of truth. Only the devil makes everything opposite to the truth....turning the truth into...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Everything I speak of is meant to be understood very simply by faith. People will want proof...syntax, proof-texting...etc...but the point is missed. To take apart a false understanding is beyond the scope of this forum. I present the truth in its full resolution, and no one understands it. They...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    That is false. He has declared those who enter INTO Him as clean. You are reading far too superficially...and with self-interest in mind. You need to let go of the ego to actually become cleansed. God saves us FROM our sins, not in them.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Don't make the good the enemy of the perfect. I am simply testifying the the depth of the gospel message which doesn't stop at what we have not yet experienced. I am relating the truth of the gospel in full resolution...that of a full walk in two realms at once. No...you are not reading with...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The bible attest to us sowing in righteousness (ours) UNTIL He comes and rains righteousness (His) upon us. This is true both historically in the upgrade in covenants...from the first law (Moses) to the second law (Christ). But also in our own individual lives. When we are not walking in the...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    What do you think the gospel of the kingdom is about? In the OT we are told to cry out the "good news of Zion" (Mevaseret Tsion) from the mountain top.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    One would have to have encountered holiness to understand this. Was Uzzah struck down by God when he steadied the cart containing the ark of the covenant based on a righteousness sin, or a holiness sin? Was he not simply doing what any person would do to preserve something of importance...at...
