    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Your gospel environment, as you put it, is not accurate to the the whole counsel of God. You are trying to understanding a tree by looking at an acorn. That's not the point of the law. Jesus said that it was good to tithe....not wrong. But that there are weightier matters to consider. It's...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    This is false. Genuine humility is a fruit not only of the Spirit but also those who see themselves accurately before God. There is a human humility...that God accepts. Just like there is a human righteousness that God accepts. The fear of the Lord is also natural to those who can accept God's...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    But barring eternal works prepared in advance....there is always the human qualities of humility and godly fear that God accepts from us. :Thumbsup:

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Again you fully miss the point.. The difference between thinking about going for a walk and going for a walk is that the one who goes for a walk stays in shape...and the one who only thinks about going for a walk does not. THAT'S the point. You are trying so hard to justify thinking OVER...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Take those words and look at how the dishonest here react to what Jesus says and God declares ...straight from the bible. Hence My own concern for many here. I weigh my words carefully...not idly. I'm confronting egos...not with an ego but with truth....ego-less truth. The sin is to attack...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    In the military there is a maxim to praise in public and criticize in private. That is necessary for cohesion in a group...a group that is engaged in the same mission. On this forum, we see disparate missions. Some here are looking to be flattered and affirmed. A few are here to seek truth. And...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I start with sound doctrine...and many examples and explanations. The fact that you can't see the flesh reacting in others is because you yourself are also reacting in the flesh. Look at how others receive what I say. Of course people will say they are just being fooled... but that is the beauty...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    That's because people are mixed. Whatever is of value is protected by the flesh. It's up to people to NOT react in the flesh and get down to a deeper conversation to edify what has value. Rather than forsaking the flesh and having no confidence in the flesh, people double down in a...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Trusting in Christ is one thing...but ignoring every warning of Christ and building a false hope (or taking "hopium") by naming and claiming all the verses that pertain to others ....being those who have indeed been crucified with Christ and bear an eternal fruit by translation into the kingdom...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Nice verses, but misused in the context. Are you a fence-sitter...not able to discern or make a decision due to a character that is both lukewarm and wishy-washy? Do you have any experience with the risen Lord...the power of His resurrection? Or are you another religious speculator who has...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The forum is not about ego boosting or affirmation...it is about the truth and argumentation arriving at the truth. If you can't engage ideas, for the sake of greater clarity of the bible narrative...then you are misguided in your purpose here. We see A LOT of immaturity regarding any kind of...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Seeing the two sides are spiritual :Happy: ...versus.... carnal :eek:...how so?

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    More lies and typical slander. YOUR gospel is delusional. Paul's gospel is the gospel of the kingdom. As per the bible and according to many verses that you ignore. You are a dishonest and delusional troll, in truth.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    When someone seeks affirmation more than the truth, the whole process is thrown into disarray.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    And just more, passive aggressive and sanctimonious virtue signalling from a troll who comes to my threads only looking for self-affirmation...and jumps on the bandwagon of many who insult me for speaking the absolute truth...which no one can refute except by having certain indoctrinations...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I agree with justification by faith alone...but only for the higher walk in the Spirit. What Luther did is to take a holy standard, and drag it through the mud and made it accessible for every self-seeking pretender looking for an easy bargain that promises a future "Valhalla." Basically, Luther...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The bible promotes works righteousness. But the illiterate and self-righteous read themselves into the bible according to self-interest. That's what you identify with. Why? Because it's natural.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    And the natives would still have their land?

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Martin Luther....who invented "another gospel" and drew away many after himself. Jean Calvin...and all who follow an extremist delusion.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    This is backwards unless you mean that the foolish believe every word FROM God...as opposed to every teaching they get indoctrinated into through the religious system. The "foolish" are wise from God's perspective because they believe the impossible. They swear to their own hurt and see...
