    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Your questions are fully outside the scope of the bible. They are taught only in man-made institutions. But for clarification I will correct your questions and give answers according to what the bible teaches... 1. We only "get to heaven" right now. We are meant to be seated in heavenly places...

    I pegged you exactly right....you have a lawless salvation and you are saved IN your sin. And all the false pretenses to cover up an honest admission of what you actually do. ALL indoctrinated ones are like this. There is a pattern of selecting verses out of context to mock the truth contained...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    The religious system churns out people that ape what they have been indoctrinated into. Not real believers but poster children of an ideology based on the traditions of men. But knowing an ideology does not mean one knows God. The bible does not replace God. The letter kills but the Spirit gives...

    I could ask you the same question...but you are not here to be honest only to regurgitate whatever form of doctrine you heard last that you liked. But why do you think the wages of sin is NOT death for you?

    You need to stop using your own understanding. But for those who have an issue with the kingdom of God being a meritocracy... Just one example... And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not...

    Here is what you are looking for... “Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Tim 4:2 This speaks of no longer thinking sin is an issue with God...as the Babylonian system teaches.

    What you are not seeing is that this is about serving God...not ignoring works. Do you realize that serving the living God involves works?

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    The difference is that you are a hammer looking for a nail. Are you just reacting to a sermon you heard on Sunday (or on line)? Now you are looking for people who hate freedom? Do you realize that Paul was speaking about the Jews who were trying to convert Christians to Judaism? Judaizers. Have...

    You have been indoctrinated by men. The bible says that works salvation is accepted with God. What you are saying goes against the words of God. You seem to have seen a lot in your time. However, I don't think you know what you are talking about. Freedom in Christ is freedom from sin...not...

    In my experience with you I would say that is untrue. I believe you do try very hard, but you are relying on your own understanding, which is futile. Your cleverness will never attain to Christ. This is untrue (and you are falsely accusing me to get support from the crows). The foundation of...

    Amen again...self-love is self-harm.

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    This is the actual opposite of what the verse says. You are looking for forgiveness IN your sins. But the cross of Christ is not about forgiveness...it is an instrument of death that is VERY unforgiving. You are operating on feelings not heavenly power. Now if you are a new believer, I would...

    Amen. The bible says, in the fear of the Lord AND the comfort of the Holy Ghost. The fear of the Lord is on the outer man and the comfort of the Spirit is for the inner man. The problem with being regenerated in the Spirit, is that BOTH are elevated...and the outer man being stronger, takes over...

    You bite the hand that is trying to feed you. You want everyone to be only half right, as you are. If that's not living by the ego, then I don't know what could be clearer.

    Look at your behaviour. Look at how hostile you are to anyone who gives no oxygen to the flesh. You HATE correction. It is a sin to you. But it is grace from God.

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    How can you not see the huge difference between what you want to be seen as affirming and your own behaviour? You want good and proper behaviour? Look back over your posts...they are from the flesh...attacking what is right and true. But you won't see it. I think more people are seeing what you...

    The tension exists because God is holy and until we are fully like Christ we are NOT like Him.

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    The love of God comes with a tension that is unbearable for many. When we see a brother or sister who has God's heavy hand upon him/her we want to help and encourage...which is a very good thing. We suffer together because we are members one of another. But there are many who, when they hear...

    Wise sayings brother. Hardly anyone seeks approval from God these days. They are happy thinking they are in a "personal relationship" with a deity. What isn't clear is which deity... :rolleyes:

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Free from bondage to sin....not freedom from bad feelings. Those "bad feelings" are required in order to surrender ourselves fully to the Lord to get freedom and comfort from Him. Too many believers comfort themselves and never know eternal rest. The body of Christ is there....not to push away...
