Basically, this poster is relying on an active religious imagination. No power except to cover up sin, obfuscate and deny.

In principle God loves all people....all people have the potential to either be accepted with God or please Him. We all have an inner man created in God's image. The problem is our rebellious attitude.....lodged in the sin nature of the outer man...and so many won't let go of it. People who look...

A novice looks for evil in anything unfamiliar. You want to fight against evil...look within yourself.

(Notice how the word "holiness" is still avoided like the plague by this poster) All you want is a forgiveness without holiness. We'll see how that works out for you.

(Notice how the word "holiness" is ignored, obfuscated and avoided.) Look at how the cross is made to be about something that already existed (God's bountiful mercy, patience, and forgiveness) whereas the TRUE nature of the cross is about santification (holiness).

LOL. That's an important word for you. ;) So you are saying you are not against God having a holy place for those who are translated to walk as Jesus walked? What kind of human reasoning is that? My race is to both win Christ and walk as He walked. How others did so is not my concern beyond...

So if we are to extrapolate, tally, carry the one, and come to a conclusion, are you for or against the upward call into holiness? I mean, just for the record.

People here with as a yet un-seared conscience should wonder why they are so hostile to the idea of a higher walk in holiness. What, do people think they already know all there is to know about God? Is God not infinite? Where does the pride and hubris come from some here who deny the upward call...

Not so. Holiness for us is a place...IN Christ with God in heaven. I have stated on more than one occasion that the higher walk is in holiness. No. Receiving things FROM heaven is not the same going TO heaven by translation by the Spirit. The contrary message comes from people who have...

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matt. 5:48 There are at least 3 words in Hebrew that could be cited that are translated in the bible as "perfect. But seemingly only one in Greek (telios). But if you look at the context and the wording...we could...

I wouldn't be so hard on Paul. He uses the same words in different ways...whether "perfect" or "law". It depends on the context and already understanding what Paul is referring to. As Paul says... God will show you by revelation what it means. (That's how I know) I'm convinced that trying to...

Mixture is what the religious system does. It's important to keep the lower walk and higher walk distinct...otherwise there is mixture. Holiness doesn't mix with anything. The New Covenant is based on.......holiness.

This is true. There is no verb to be. It could also be it will be...what it will be. Or...what will happen will happen. I'm well aware of Hebrew. Check out the tense of the verb... It is future.

LOL I thought you were going to say...Paul's.... I walk in Paul's spirit. Wouldn't it be easier to think one was walking in a human spirit than a divine one? It is you false presumptions that bring the humour. I do have a sense of humour. I don't yhink the religious ones here know how funny...

For those who take themselves Oh so seriously and think that those who speak the truth should do likewise. 1. I would do much to distance myself from the self-interested ones. 2.King David acted the fool at times...whether dancing naked or pretending to be crazy before the Philistines...and...

Am I cheering? Why do people read a post and put their own emotional spin on it? I'm actually appalled at the lack of honesty, truth and understanding on the forum. And how many times does it say in the bible...I would gather you...but you would not! Jesus knew what was in the hearts of men. I...

You are simply unaware of the ground that has been won for the kingdom. In your field it is weeds.....but not in every field. Actually it comes from Pauline, his evil twin sister. o_O There is not an ounce of holiness in your calculations. The cross is about making a people holy...not...

Actually you do have to. Your judgment is very off..as you have been shown. ALL people who know the Lord will agree with me. Bar none. If not, then, as Paul says, God will show you even this....as He has shown me. True. Mr. Graham was a simple man...but a godly man. His service to God was to...

In Hebrew the "I am" is future tense. It's "echyeh asher echyeh" I will be what I will be.

Thanks to all for playing a very life-like role in displaying what spiritual warfare might look like. Special notice goes to those playing the part of the Pharisees. :) :Thumbsup:
