    What do you think qualifies one to be one of Christ's disciples?

    *** That is an assumption on your part. Paul never claimed to be free of sin as religious people do today. He knew that when born again he had two natures, Romans 7) one of the sinful flesh and one of the spirit. He said to walk in the spirit but that is why there is so much judging because...

    What do you think qualifies one to be one of Christ's disciples?

    *** I don't have to demonstrate anything to men. Men are not my judge. Who ever wishes to judge me must first judge themselves by the same standard. If they sin then they can not judge me for sin. But religious people love to judge others for their sins for it is a way the focus is on others...

    “Raised With Him”

    *** I wrote this i a reply on another thread but I think it goes along with what you have said here. ""I think that every child of God has seen and understands what sin is. If they do not then why do they feel they need what Jesus did on the cross? That is why they do not want to sin (as...

    *** I think that every child of God has seen and understands what sin is. If they do not then why do they feel they need what Jesus did on the cross? That is why they do not want to sin (as others claim they do). But every child of God lives in a body that sins and as Paul said in Romans 7...

    Paul’s very clear warning about today’s #1 disastrous doctrine

    *** I would like to say here that it is written the the children of God are not children of wrath. When God pours out His wrath on the world it will not be poured on God's children. So how will this be accomplished if the children are not taken out of this world before God pours out His wrath...

    What do you think qualifies one to be one of Christ's disciples?

    *** It has always been a mystery to me how that Jesus said to cast the log out of your own eye in order to see how to cast one out of another. and then Paul writes those words to Timothy. How that Paul could write Romans 7 which clearly show he sinned too and then judge others for sinning. But...

    Paul’s very clear warning about today’s #1 disastrous doctrine

    *** The Pharisees believed in their religion some what. Even thought their religion condemned murder the Pharisees did it anyway. In other words they put on a show of piety for others to see but in their hearts they were just as evil. They could not see their own hearts. They thought they...

    The ten commandments ?

    *** The law was replaced by grace because God saw that no man could keep the law. The law condemned everyone that broke it and since all men broke it the law was replaced by God's grace. Gal 3:2-3 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by...

    What do you think qualifies one to be one of Christ's disciples?

    Perhaps this is not the thread to say this but I really don't see that unrepentant sins of the flesh condemn anyone if they are under grace and not law. I see that this is the very reason Jesus shed His blood to pay for (atone for) all the sins of the whole world. All of mankind goes about...

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:"

    *** You are free to see it as you do and I will see it as I do. Thank for the exchange of ideas.

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:"

    *** When Jesus went to the Father (GOD) He said He would send a helper (the Holy Spirit) to the Children of God. Why send a helper in His place if He is here on earth? Acts 7:55-57 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the...

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:"

    *** Christ is not in a church on this earth. According to scriptures He is in heaven sitting at the right hand of God the Father. The children of God are "in Christ" and therefore are sitting at the right hand of God the Father in Christ. John 14:19-21 19 "A little while longer and the world...

    Admiration, or Appropriation?

    *** Yes, the child of God loves the children of God. They love Christians but not all Christians are Christians. Paul knew others by their faith; what they believed. I know the children of God because of where they have placed their faith. If they place it in men's religions then imo they...

    Admiration, or Appropriation?

    Paul’s very clear warning about today’s #1 disastrous doctrine

    *** The only confusion I see is your trying to get works in as a requirement for getting the free gift Jesus has given us. You have no business judging the children of God in how they live their lives. They only have to live it in faith that Jesus atoned for their sins of the flesh.. Perhaps...

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:"

    *** You won't find Christ in a religion. It was religion that had Jesus put to death and Stephen stoned to death yet the religious think religion will get then to heaven. Jesus had no love for the religious. Paul uses the two words "in Christ" to define the child of God who has been placed...

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:"

    *** What makes you think I came from religion? I never believed that all the things the pastors were teaching were true unless I could back it up with scriptures. I have been a child of God since God made me one when I was about 9 years old. I use to listen to grace blended in with the law...

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:"

    *** You are right. Mankind loves their religions. The reason why the religion will not respond is that they know every word of this O.P is correct and history proves it. So they just ignore it and go their way, Jesus was certainly right when He said that few will find the way. Most are too...

    "Religion! Who needs it?" or "Religious Tyranny:"

    If you can see it, all the persecutions of true Christians has come from the religious. In this writing I am going to point out what I see in religions. James 1:27 (NKJ) 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep...

    Paul’s very clear warning about today’s #1 disastrous doctrine

    *** It seems to me that those that are so worried about the sins of others they miss the point that they are sinners too. Repentance is an attitude of the heart. It is not a RITUAL that men do to save themselves; it is an attitude that acknowledges I am not worthy to be called God's child but...
