Veteran, I don't see how what you're saying works with what the apostles say of the new covenant. Things like this: Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts...

Amen! Thanks for sharing your wisdom! :)

Where is the love?

I appreciate the input of the both of you, Rach and Groundzero :) Only, what I am trying to communicate is not so much what is in human love, though that is good, and not so much the beauty of the scripture, though that is nice, but rather the fellowship of the Lord's suffering. We suffer...

Ok :lol: Fair enough. Lord bless ya, brother

Hmm... According to what I understood that isn't even the matter, Groundzero. No, I am not saying we should lift our sword against them. I never proposed something like that, my point to start with was exactly that they are NOT the Lord's anointed. Christians are not christian by title or by...

The work of the cross in us is not an option, but a necessity. Either we live by the Spirit and put to death the deeds of the flesh, or we live by the flesh, and not the Spirit

The work of the cross in us is not an option, but a necessity. Either we live by the Spirit and put to death the deeds of the flesh, or we live by the flesh, and not the Spirit

I do not preach perfection of the flesh. I preach the crucifixion of the flesh, that the Spirit might have rule. Brother, the scriptures you quote are one aspect. Consider the fullness of the counsel of God. Philip. 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press...

Just so you understand where I was coming from :) I asked if you thought the Scribes and Pharisees would receive a reward in eternity because you said this: "When our Lord Jesus rebuked the scribes, Pharisees and priests of Israel, He was not going against the authority He setup for their...

Yes, if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed. The cross frees us when it does it's work in us, because we are then no longer slaves to sin. We can actually walk in the life of Christ and be like him. But most don't want that, it's too painfull (according to them). :mellow:

Yes. God has his remnant. As the Lord told Elijah when he despaired, 'I have kept seven thousand men'. :) Thank you for your love brother, thank you for using the 'talent' (in the sense of the parable) that the Lord has given you! I just see how much we need Him... We have so much of 'us'...

Sleeping in the light (song)... It says: The world is sleeping in the dark, The church cant even fight, Cause it's asleep in the light :( Judgment will come to the house of God first. We will be held to a higher standard than the world, to who much is given much is required. With love...

This is a message that I feel the Lord has given me for the church. I do not claim to be a prophet... Or anything special. Only this weighed on my heart like a burden. The way of the Lord is the way of the cross. And I fear that the church as a whole, as a body, has forsaken this way. I fear for...

The majority of people want a Christ that let's them go for free. They want a free pass and a done deal. "He did it, so I don't have to do it!" :( Christ came to give life. But his life is hindered in us unless our old man is crucified and we crucify the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit...

Talk about reviving an old thread :blink: I think the pessimism we show is truly sad... I'm not saying we should believe everyone. But we must do everything in love. If someone says with a childlike attitude that he has seen the Lord, why not go to him humbly and ask him more about it...

So you are saying that the scribes and Pharisees will be rewarded in eternity? They are indeed God's people? Honestly, veteran, I don't understand what you're saying. Jesus called them sons of the Devil. These kings cannot rule forever if this world comes to an end. Christ is ruling...

The power of the cross is to bring death to the old man, that Christ might live through us. Thus it is salvation, because we become like him. 'It is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me.' :)

That's interesting, Duckybill :) The Bible does teach us much, but it also says my sheep know my voice. The Lord is recognized by the fruit of the Spirit that we bear when he comes to us. Does the Bible tell us that? Yes. But we cannot know what the fruit of the Spirit is if we haven't...

Something neat happened :) I talked about this on another site, and a brother actually completed the 'equation', so to speak. Here's what he had to say: "Our obedience to Him, glorifies Him. Our humble response to His mercy, pleases Him. His day of mercy will end one day and what we are...
