    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Pathetic. All cloud and no rain. Do you have any points to make beside ad hominem attacks? A ploy of those who are all indoctrination but having no knowledge, wisdom or understanding.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    A number of dishonest trolls invade my threads with foolish arguments and religious grandstanding glorying in their ignorance...quoting verses that have no bearing on the discussion...in an ego charged display, not knowing the scriptures or pretending to understand what is clearly beyond their...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You are a troll...attacking me personally because you have zero argument concerning the subject of this thread. You are a false teacher who is dishonest and disingenuous. You raise no points at all...being indoctrinated into a man-made tradition that denies the scriptures. You have a very...

    Can non-Christians go to Heaven?

    All people will be judged by their works....what they did with what they were given. Too much of modern religion denies the bible narrative and makes up a salvation by having proper beliefs....saving knowledge...which is an influence of Gnosticism. We have free will...and we are here to learn...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    Basically...God saves us from the the world...then He saves us from ourselves.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Do you mean the law of God? The 10 commandments? This is not about personal preference...I think you have been in the modern church too long. ;) The 10 commandments continue into the New Covenant as showing the distinction between righteousness and holiness. There are 4 holiness commandments...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    How vague. An unlearned person sees a word in the bible and adds in their own understanding...through an indoctrination that negates any nuance or level of God's work. So what do you mean by law? The law of Moses? The law of God? The law of sin and death? The law of faith? The law of the...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You are making that parallel...not having any depth of understanding... only a misunderstanding....not being able to discern the difference between an OT style righteousness and the power of God bestowed on the elect by a covering of God's righteousness. Does your error extend to the level of...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    This is all a strawman...you are doing what you are saying I'm doing. I am speaking to you from the whole counsel of God and you are arguing from Luther's false understanding of Paul. Exactly what you are doing...the opposite game. Either you are that blind or you are disingenuous and an...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Can you see where it says....UPON ALL... and not "imputed"? Justified by God. It doesn't say...I believe therefore I am just and I declare myself righteous and have the righteousness of God to myself. And who has faith nowadays?

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    men Amen. In Him is no sin. If someone claims the exclusivity of being chosen in Christ then let that one testify to the power of an eternal resurrection life that one experiences IN Him. However, if we are humble and God-fearing God's mercy remains on us. It's all about what we claim for...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    You have a dogmatic religious viewpoint that obscures the teachings of all the authors of the bible. You are the one judging here...and your judgments don't compliment Jesus...they take away from His mission.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Or as you mean...to name and claim. That is false. We are meant to be reconciled to God...not be reconciled to dogmas.

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    That's not what we are presented with in the bible. The stories that Jesus told help us with forming a sound doctrine based on understanding what God sees as doing right. But, as I state in the video...not everyone has the same level of choices. Lazarus in the parable had no choices to make...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    Correct. No person can justify themselves based on ANYTHING they do...whether by works or imagined beliefs about God. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. Ps 143:2 People are brainwashed to CLAIM to be righteous...just like the...

    How Important is doctrine? Part 1

    In this part 1 of a series on the importance of doctrine we begin with what the bible has to say on the subject. We should ask ourselves...what is the doctrine I have believed doing for my obedience to God's commandments? What have I become based on what I believe? Am I still open to correction...

    The Warnings of Jude

    An excellent post brother. May the Lord console you on your journey of faith. You exhibit humility and remorse which are good in God's sight. You are in my prayers. Bless you brother! :) <><

    The Warnings of Jude

    God first rescues us from the world. Then He rescues us from ourselves.

    The Warnings of Jude

    How open are we to being corrected from what is written in the bible? Surprisingly few will listen to a balanced message from the bible that is taken from the whole counsel of God. In this episode we focus on the warnings from Jude, the brother of Jesus. No warnings, no glory.

    Predestination VS Free Will

    What is black and white is holiness and the higher walk. What people do is lower the standard to "feel" like they are the chosen. The Pharisees did exactly the same thing. Why do you make judgment black and white? God only rejects those who enter into delusion...who pretend to be something...
