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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

...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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

We are to seek first the kingdom... until we find ourselves walking in an eternal realm of life, peace, and eternal love in a miraculous supernatural light. God wants to give us His rest, but our attitude, surrender and faith are required. He gives grace to the humble. Coming up on the...

I don't think that many understand the depth of the gospel and the power available to us by the faith of Christ. Take the last statement from Acts 10:43. "whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." The believing INTO Him is not about human beliefs, it is about a gift of...

Willing to accept a religious proposition, you mean. This is not biblical at all. Jesus rejects people who have a dubious character, not wanky beliefs. Beliefs register to God like opinions. Faith, on the other hand, overcomes sin and walks with God in holiness. He rejects the religiously smug...

Agreed. But who said actually following Christ (not just pretending to) was easy? The easy way is the wide way where people conform to a self-serving ideology that doesn't actually know God at all. It follows the crowd. But only a very few will be honest enough to repent and wait on the Lord...

You are judging FROM the rabbit trail. The wages of sin is death...eternal truth. That's not the rabbit trail. The rabbit trail is: "for ME (because I'm special) God bends the law in my favour. For ME the wages of sin is not death." Like Agag who thought the shadow of death was in the past...

The wages of sin is death. That is an everlasting truth. Jesus EMPOWERS people by grace through faith to overcome sin just as He did. But there are very FEW followers of Jesus anymore. Most follow a decoy religion about Jesus...turning Him into an idol or genie to be exploited. But such will be...
