    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    There is a big difference between being in the Spirit and being led by the Spirit....or by understanding of the Spirit. I am convinced that Paul wrote those letters when he was not in the Spirit...but he still was informed by the spiritual knowledge and understanding he had gained. Ministering...

    So you are now saying that you telling me that you left the system churches 25 years ago was just a ploy...??? That you are actually an under-cover agent for American Christianity and the Protestant reformation???? Could the mask need some re-adjustment? :rolleyes:

    Much wisdom here. Yes, the mask! The flesh is deceptive, calculating, spoiled, privileged...it's what vain religion does to puff up the outer man with promises of glory without the cross, without sacrifice and without God's approval. And the pretext to all this is a protection of the vulnerable...

    LOL Playing innocent as you troll and accuse. You wipe your mouth and say...I have done nothing wrong. All anyone has to do is go back a little ways and read your contribution to this discussion. And where is the "much love" sign off that you like to prop up your posts with? :rolleyes: :contemplate:

    Without shedding of blood, there is no holiness. Without Jesus' sacrifice we would need a constant cycle of purification that can never empower us to walk in His holiness. So Jesus' resurrection gives us His LIVING blood to drink in...giving us eternal life and connection to God. We have a...

    All you bring is drama and a bruised ego. And a lot of virtue signalling. No one forces you to troll my threads....and yet you hover and wait for me to say ANYTHING that looks even slightly disapproving. So your accusation is really about yourself and your purpose here.

    The Hebrew word for sacrifice is karban....which comes from the root Karav meaning to draw near or approach. No one can approach God while in the flesh unless they die. The idea of blood sacrifice means that a life must be given. The sacrifice has to be without blemish or TAMIM...meaning without...

    LOL...critical thinking goes overboard if you take any given translation as much credence as the original scriptures. I think you are underthinking it in that you trust in translations...according to the spirit of the age. The word you read as forgiveness is actually freedom from...

    Are you saying that God never forgave any sins until after Jesus died on the cross? Show me one passage that shows that God was unable to be merciful because He is so wrathful as to be unforgiving...even as He expects us to be forgiving without sacrifice. is not our forgiveness dependent on how...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    I wonder how many can detect the "nuance" between what is taught in present day church circles and what the bible actually says... Ex. If while we seek to be justified by Christ we are found to be sinners...is Christ therefore a minister of forgiveness? And the whole congregation shouted...

    1. The righteous don't know they are righteous. The humble don't know they are humble. Abraham did not think of himself as righteous...far from it. The publican went home justified...but not thinking he was justified. You have to learn a lot more about what righteousness entails. The only ones...

    As in...I will only follow that ways of God that already line up with my way of thinking. :rolleyes:

    Amen. We have been clothed by nature what we are to sacrifice to God. The living sacrifice of ourselves. Our life in exchange for His life. :) '"'

    This is from the paragraph you added My response: The lake of fire is the second death...a snuffing out of life. But outer darkness is not a ceasing of existence...it is eternal life away from God. The same life they are living now without any seeking of God for a better eternal existence. God...

    I agree with imputed righteousness when God does it. What I disagree with is imputing righteousness to yourself. The system does it and you do it...it is hypocrisy. I highlight many warnings from the bible that you say are for others not yourself. That is typical of indoctrination.

    That's what it seems like to you...because you just admitted to agreeing with the system you say you departed from...as in I wish you would agree with THEM. The truth of the Lord is indeed 2 sided, having this seal....The Lord knows they that are His AND...let everyone that names the name of...

    Good. But it's one thing to get out of Babylon and quite another to get the Babylon out of you. You just don't understand spiritual things at any depth. And you have not been discipled. There is a way that seems right unto a woman... You have need to repent before the Lord and take a lower...

    Absolutely. My ministry is not to save people from the lake of fire...since believers will have eternal life...all who believe in the Lord will be saved. No, my ministry is to save people from outer darkness. An eternity outside the presence of God. As in...go away, I never knew you. If people...

    Not unless there is humility. God gives grace to the humble. And we tend to withdraw from God's purpose to our own level of comfort. After that He sends prophets to warn people. And these prophets are ignored for the most part. Many will say...why didn't you warn me? And the Lord will show how...
