You deny the power of grace. You think grace is God turning a blind eye to whoever is religious enough to claim His righteousness for himself. We will not be judged by our religious beliefs...but what we did with what we have been given. If sin disqualifies you then you are at God's mercy...or...

This shows a human understanding...based on not knowing what holiness entails. Most modern believers NEVER walk in the Spirit...in the perfection of Christ. All who enter INTO Christ walk as He walked without sin. In Him is no sin. You can try wrapping your mind around that and try to filter...

And needs to be cleansed from every spot of sin. How? By grace through faith into a walk that is IN Christ.

A circular silly argument. First you say that BAC's don't sin habitually...than you say you do sin and need to sin because of another misunderstanding of the bible. basically you are interpreting the bible to defend yourself...the ego. You think repentance is into less sinning? How much sin...

The Pharisees also justified themselves for not having the same TYPE of habitual sins...obvious carnal sins...as the crowd. No, their sins were much worse. Jesus condemned the religious hypocrites far more than outward sinners. He said that carnal sinners enter the kingdom faster than the...

Someone who is truly born from heaven does not champion an unconditional forgiveness...but rather champions a fear of the Lord INTO a walk in victory over sin by the resurrection life of Christ that he/she has experienced. All this religious theorizing comes from the flesh. There is no power...

Those who champion an ongoing unconditional forgiveness know nothing of the fear of the Lord nor the grace of the Lord that brings people into holiness. This is not a bible issue but a religious dogmatic scheme conjured up by a misreading of the bible. The very Spirit that is required to walk in...

A constant sinner is only looking for forgiveness and how to exploit Jesus for himself. A true disciple seeks the Lord for holiness and the power that resurrected Jesus from the dead...to walk in it. That's the truth.

Why are so few walking by faith...in the "way" that is in Christ? Unless one walks by grace through faith one cannot understand walking in BOTH the fear of God AND the comfort of the Spirit. Both at the same time. Entering the righteousness of God by abiding in Christ doesn't eliminate human...

One has to understand the difference between righteousness and holiness. Righteousness is about what we do. Holiness about what God does. The church is FIRST what God does...followed by obedience in righteousness on our part. The problem with ecclesiastical thinking is that that these take for...

I was baptized by the Spirit into the church that God is building. What do I care if there is no building or earthly hierarchy I can point to. I was captured by the eternal love of Christ...and empowered to walk as He walked. If there are no others then I stand alone. That is God's will. But I...

This is funny. Of course the apostles were apostolic. But by the time that a minority of bishops decided to listen to Constantine (only about 20% of all the bishops attended this "farce"), the more spiritual brothers probably didn't think it right to attend. But history is made by the victors...

Do people really want to be told what to believe? Isn't an encounter with the living God of much more value and use in understanding the bigger picture and purpose of life? I defend oneness with God AND oneness between disciples. Creeds and dogmas only serve as an excuse to not love another...

The early church were followers of "The Way". What way? The way that is in Christ in the power of an eternal kind of life. It was inevitable that a dogmatic decoy also be established according to the will of men that usurps the way of God in Christ by catering to the desires of men. My aim...

In this episode we want to investigate both the similarities and divergences between the Orthodox church and "the Way" as described in the New Testament. To accomplish this we will provide commentary based on video clips from both Paul Truebenbach and Josiah Trenham.

The fear of the Lord is good...but just fear alone is not. We are meant to set sail on unknown waters trusting the Lord...not just remain tied up in harbours until we have a guarantee that we won't be swept on the rocks of lee shores. By faith we venture forth....yes, sometimes running...

This idea is straightforward if one understands being crucified to self to walk according to the Spirit in resurrection life. Absent from the body means that one is walking in another place...in a place of victory over the flesh. Present in the body means that one is walking according to the...

Welcome here Polina. :) Hopefully, you will discover much to ponder and meditate on, and be encouraged by. You will need a lot of discernment, however, to avoid the many deviations from what brings life and peace in the Lord. Things can get quite heavy at times.

It is now generally accepted because of the work of bible scholars...who embarrassed church organizations into having some kind of honesty...if that is even possible among dogmatic types. Those verses, the "comma" have now been exposed as fraudulent and been removed. There is a deeper work of...
