Trusting in Christ is one thing...but ignoring every warning of Christ and building a false hope (or taking "hopium") by naming and claiming all the verses that pertain to others ....being those who have indeed been crucified with Christ and bear an eternal fruit by translation into the kingdom...

Nice verses, but misused in the context. Are you a fence-sitter...not able to discern or make a decision due to a character that is both lukewarm and wishy-washy? Do you have any experience with the risen Lord...the power of His resurrection? Or are you another religious speculator who has...

The forum is not about ego boosting or affirmation...it is about the truth and argumentation arriving at the truth. If you can't engage ideas, for the sake of greater clarity of the bible narrative...then you are misguided in your purpose here. We see A LOT of immaturity regarding any kind of...

Seeing the two sides are spiritual :Happy: ...versus.... carnal :eek:...how so?

More lies and typical slander. YOUR gospel is delusional. Paul's gospel is the gospel of the kingdom. As per the bible and according to many verses that you ignore. You are a dishonest and delusional troll, in truth.

When someone seeks affirmation more than the truth, the whole process is thrown into disarray.

And just more, passive aggressive and sanctimonious virtue signalling from a troll who comes to my threads only looking for self-affirmation...and jumps on the bandwagon of many who insult me for speaking the absolute truth...which no one can refute except by having certain indoctrinations...

I agree with justification by faith alone...but only for the higher walk in the Spirit. What Luther did is to take a holy standard, and drag it through the mud and made it accessible for every self-seeking pretender looking for an easy bargain that promises a future "Valhalla." Basically, Luther...

The bible promotes works righteousness. But the illiterate and self-righteous read themselves into the bible according to self-interest. That's what you identify with. Why? Because it's natural.

And the natives would still have their land?

Martin Luther....who invented "another gospel" and drew away many after himself. Jean Calvin...and all who follow an extremist delusion.

This is backwards unless you mean that the foolish believe every word FROM God...as opposed to every teaching they get indoctrinated into through the religious system. The "foolish" are wise from God's perspective because they believe the impossible. They swear to their own hurt and see...

But that's just what you are doing. You are building your own righteousness by claiming to have God's own righteousness for YOURSELF...which is far more outrageous than what the Pharisees claimed. They claimed to do what the bible said according to the law...and they justified themselves by...

And He has also hidden things from those who read the bible to justify themselves. It's ironic that the very ones spoken against in the bible have the most "assurance" of a good outcome for themselves.

religious teachings from institutions that replace a direct connection to God. The teachings of "experts" and scholars who live by speculation.

Well, for someone who claims to be a Christian you don't seem to be familiar with anything Jesus taught. What are you building your gospel with?

Again with the extremism. You are just like the Pharisees who taunted Jesus by asking Him a loaded question so they could accuse Him of something that they misunderstood about the law. You aren't here but to accuse...not to learn. But to the honest seeker... Almost all rich Westerners need to...

You aren't paying attention. Repentance from sin is on the righteousness level. Faith INTO Christ is on the holiness level. It has nothing to do with your religious spin, you mean. Your gospel has neither righteousness NOR holiness in it. It is truly man-made.

This is an extremist viewpoint that denies God's mercy. To the extremist it's all or nothing. That works for holiness...which you don't have. So by NOT having mercy you forego it yourself.
