    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Holiness is a gift from God. We become PARTAKERS of Christ's holiness when we put on Christ...who knows no sin. The bible NEVER says we learn holiness. No, holiness is about location...being seated with Christ WHERE He is. Righteousness is compatible with WISDOM. But even a fool can enter into...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Grace is a free gift...not something earned over time. We attain to the pinnacle of holiness by entering into Christ by grace through faith. Holiness is about location...being found IN Him...who knows no sin. In Him is no sin. That we may be partakers of His holiness. We put on Christ...that...

    Amen. God knows human reasoning inside and out. And so does the devil. The genius of God is to weave what is an evil and selfish intent into something selfless and beneficial for ALL but them. This wisdom is lost on those who continue to pursue the failed, but seemingly right way, that God has...

    Wow. First off, there is no 2 "he's".... just one. He was made sin by (for) us....that's it. And the fact that you would allow the word "god" to be added into a text where that word is not found...tells me all I need to know about how you care for the truth.

    The bible says...the 7 spirits of God. God is the God of spirits. Does that statement mean that God only has 7 spirits to work with? And the Israelite tested God 10 times in the desert before He rejected them. That would be 3 more times than He gives the righteous? God decides when enough is...

    The cross of Christ is meant to kill our outer man sin nature...so that we can partake of His resurrection life in the inner man. Jesus passed through death in order to defeat it through a resurrection life made for a new Covenant with us. The cross is about sanctification...killing what...

    7 times...yes..which just means many times. I have been in and out of the Spirit twice now. I'm working on my 3rd talent. Endeavoring to add in a growing maturity to the purity of holiness I was allowed to experience. People who don't have that experience think I'm making things up because...

    The profane is the common. You had an amazingly accurate statement...which is fully supported in the bible. That's how we know that our spirit is aligned with God.

    Yes. One can be at peace with God in humility without the heavenly walk. One can experience moments...touches...from God as one turns one's heart to Him. One can collect the dew of the morning even in a drought. :)

    Of course. It is a devastating thing to fall from grace...to be sent back to walk as any man....in one's own strength again. People who have never entered into the kingdom walk have no idea of how devastating the experience is. So it's easy to ridicule those who have indeed tasted the goodness...

    You are right, of course. God is leading us out of selfishness and into selflessness. Of course this is all subverted when the message that is to lead us into selfLESSness is altered to support a walk in selfishness.

    One person's corrupt translation is another person's favourite verse. The corruption then is in the reader's mind who is looking for a way out of their sin predicament. Nevermind what the bible ACTUALLY says...trust the human tradition. :rolleyes:

    I learned it from the scriptures. You know, the ones the self-righteous don't read... Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have...

    Only in your mind. God is a righteous judge. You would have Him be an UN-righteous judge....toward those who flatter Him or have a correct sounding belief. But nothing is further from the truth than what you have been indoctrinated into. You are confusing mercy with truth, mixing the 2 to...

    So, in your scheme... When we do something wrong it's... AS IF...Jesus did it, not us. And everything that Jesus does perfectly....it's AS IF we did it, not Jesus. It's a con game called bait and switch....and you fell for it as many others also did. And if you are looking to justify sin...

    You are not hearing me. You are hearing YOUR version of me. I preach a loving but HOLY God. God goes EASY on the poor, the humble, the God-fearing, the honest. But He resists the proud self-righteous, unmerciful, selfish ones who name and claim their share of God's glory. The higher walk is...

    Here is listed above ...for convenience ...many of the doctrinal errors of the modern Babylonian religion...and we even get an insight into the kind of venom that spews from such a place towards truth tellers. And here is my response to such gross heresies. 1. Jesus didn't come to make God...

    Actually teaching the fear of the Lord to the religiously smug who are settled on their lees...the spoiled children of an abused grace. Saving souls potentially. But people HATE being awakened out of a deep sleep.

    Sure. We belong to Christ through regeneration. But no more so than the Jews were the people of God before us. Only a few will bear any eternal fruit. Only a remnant will be saved from the power of sin. So run as to win.

    Not so fast. Adding the word "God" in is just another layer of error from the translators pen. They use a technique of very slow alteration to change the meaning of the text to appeal to a wider audience...sells more bibles. Another example of this is using "remission" of sins...and eventually...
