Your accusation is that anybody who seeks God's face does so because they don't have Christ in them? That's your excuse for not seeking God's face...as in...I don't have to go to God, I already am rich and in need of nothing. What is truly rich is in your self-justification that only the...

What gets the flesh so riled up here is that I exhort believers to seek God's face. There is a tremendous defensive reaction followed by a carnally religious deflection that makes it look like I don't believe in FOUNDATIONAL things...that don't require the tremendously "odious" (for the flesh)...

All the false drama here. Of course, the only way for Christ to dwell in any heart is by faith. Holiness is not about works but about abiding. Overcoming as Jesus overcame is by abiding in Him who knew no sin. Holiness is about location location location...I say it again and again for the dull...

Besides being deaf and blind, the confused ones are also very dishonest...and they think they represent God here. :rolleyes:

I have learned just how dishonest pretenders are, such as yourself. After a half- decade or so of non-stop childish pestering and virtue signaling for attention... Faith in Christ and the resultant grace from God is the only salvation from sin, the flesh, the devil and this world. I have always...

Just like the city being divided into 3 parts...this represents the 3 remaining eternal destinies of the saved...apart from those who die in the lake of fire. Wrong application. The kingdom of God is not a human being. The higher walk....that is in holiness. The field is the kingdom realm...

I hope so. The foundation is holy. You are not. If the root be holy so are the branches. If we sin then we are not CONNECTED to the vine. Christ does not minister sin. He who sins is a slave of sin...according to Jesus. You can't TWEAK holiness to include sin. You have to get out of the way and...

I always hope that those who play the devil's advocate here in defending the flesh...are doing it for instructional purposes only and are not really that deceived... :rolleyes:

You got that from the place you say I got that. Lawless believers are cast into outer darkness. Read the bible for yourself. Agreed. You are projecting your own ideas on me. Can you read? Can you listen? The OP has a video I find you to be as dishonest as many here who neither read not...

Some might think that my pointing out self-interest....is wrong....but that motivation for self-justification is not life-giving...quite the opposite. People who read the bible looking for justification instead of the truth are reading themselves into the warnings of the bible. The bible...

1. No believer burns in hell. All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. 2. We must obey the whole counsel of God...not just take what is pleasant for the eyes and that promises life...like Eve did when she ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree. 3. You are free to comment on what I...

Put down your self-interest and we can talk.

People think that love means we love them IN the sin. As in...love me, love my sin. People want to be loved for themselves...not for what they represent or do. That is the way of carnal men. But the churches are overrun with champions of the flesh. As in... You are SO PRECIOUS to God...

We reveal who we are by our claims... The parable of the Publican and the Pharisee reveals this. The Pharisee will say he is the Publican in the story (because he is desperately desiring to be justified), and the Publican will say he is the Pharisee (since all he sees is his unworthiness and is...

Some here only seek a God that justifies them. If God doesn't justify them, but corrects them...they don't submit to that God. Those whom God loves He chastens...but they want a God who pets them.

Amen. People want God's goodness but ignore the CONDITIONS that bring it. His severity is to bring goodness to us. It's like people want peace while they're pointing a gun at you...so let go of the gun and we can have peace. But any move to remove the gun from the equation they see as a threat.

The irony here is that people interpret the bible as they are themselves. So if I post the sermon on the mount that says "Blessed are the pure in heart" I will get no response because I am citing the bible...and nobody wants to be SEEN as going against the words of Jesus...at least not...

Absolutely. The forum is divided by those who defend self against the truth.... whereas we are to defend the truth against self. We are to "swear to our own hurt." That is something that feels suicidal to many here. But salvation...real salvation ...is from the flesh. So either we are weaned of...

You are claiming personally what is meant for a corporate application. Just like when people claim to be saved or justified by the death of Jesus. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. So it is very wrong to claim personally something meant for a whole. AND justification is only from God...

The hard words are to bring down the part that condemns us...the flesh. You have to consider where the desire for comfort is coming from in you. You have to police your own flesh. You have to speak lawfully or else you get a "ticket". And the rebuke of a friend is better than the embrace of an...
