How revealing! We read into it what we need to. Just like the way people read the bible to hijack grace and salvation to serve their own selfish needs.

I don't know what people are learning from the sunday pulpiteers but it certainly isn't the truth. A novice will read a verse and think that's all there is to it...without realizing that every verse is balanced by another verse that seemingly contradicts it. Only the truth reconciles the seeming...

The Pharisee will improve their doctrinal accuracy over time...at least the theory of it. They will understand that God breaks down before He builds back up., for instance. And yet these will reject any breaking from the Lord. For these it remains a theory. In practice there is no humility or...

The world of the Pharisee is a world of pretend. In such a world of pretend, real issues are either soft-pedaled or ignored entirely. Children can play "special forces" without having to undergo any of the rigorous training that would qualify them for such in the real world.. So it is in the...

The crows are out. But I am speaking the truth. Of course the adversary wants to tear down what brings light and truth. One crow can be handled...even as they try to obfuscate the truth...but when crows gather it is death to any truth and decency. That's why a flock of crows is called a...

This is not about being a believer or unbeliever but about what one does to others. We will not be judged by the accuracy of pour beliefs. You are twisting my words. My warnings are real and the ramifications are real.

You are not understanding what the principle is about. It is about having mercy as God does. And if Jesus was on the forum, He would be a LOT harsher than I am. Just remember how gentle He was with the Pharisees of His time. Rather, we are to have mercy on the meek, the fatherless, the widow...

This slander proves that you were lying in your previous post. If it caws like a crow .... Why do you attack a show of humility in someone who made an honest mistake? I see your duplicitous nature. How can you not correct yourself or realize the depth of your sinfulness?

Exactly. The Old Covenant is based on righteousness...and the New Covenant is based on holiness and a higher kind of righteousness...one that comes directly from God. False. You are confusing adjectives and nouns. I can guard my house...but I'm not a guard for a living. We are to watch the...

I don't blame you or assign any bad intent. I realize you made a hasty judgment. But I'm asking to consider that you do the same thing with the bible that has a much deeper message and one that is hard to grasp unless one has actually encountered the living God as Paul had. He writes about...

You are displaying a lack of reading skills towards my posts the same way you misunderstand the bible. Go back to where you say I say there is no gift of grace. I said there is no gift of grace WITHOUT the expectation that we will overcome as Jesus did. You need to learn to read comprehensively...

The righteousness that Paul is talking about is a HIGHER righteousness according to a higher walk in Christ's perfection. No sin. Those who don't sin are greater than they who do sin. There is no one righteous, no not one, that doesn't sin. The righteous do sin. But the higher righteousness...

I bolded the part you want to ignore. Do you know what the law of Moses is? Have you ever read the first part of the bible called the Old Testament? Holiness in the law of Moses is a temple holiness. Judaizers wanted new believers to abide by the holiness laws of Judaism. Paul, who was indeed...

You twist the meaning of the word. We are to watch what the meek do and emulate them. We are to LEARN righteousness by watching what the righteous DO. Your cleverness is not of God. You are just flesh looking for justification. The irony here is palpable. With meekness means humbly....which...

Exactly. You add in words and take away words as you need to in order to satisfy a pet doctrine you have in preference. But you are missing God entirely from your scheme.

LOL To me it sounds like brain needle. But you are right about people reading in their own ideas into the bible without any humility or fear at all. Most see the bible as a self-help book...choosing favourite verses...deciding what is useful and what is not. What is not understood is the way...

More irony. The righteous have no need of a physician because they are healthy in God's eyes. It is ONLY the Pharisees that condemn the righteous. That's why you can't see your own condemnation. Jesus says...HAVE MERCY...and stop condemning the guiltless (tamim) By condemning the righteous you...

You are looking in a mirror if you are seeing a carnal mind. The only thing that is progressive is maturity in righteousness. Holiness is purity from heaven. There is no process of a gift of God. Holiness is digital. Sanctification is digital. Righteousness is analog. Any verse that is...

We need context here. God is allowing people to have access to His kingdom realm. All have access. But many are called and few chosen. One must bear the fruits of repentance from dead works. That's why the Jews lost their "exclusivity" as the people of God. They became proud and smug (just like...
