    You want to destroy righteousness, God's mercy, and holiness. All these you rail against in your bid to justify yourself for a belief theory. You have rejected the true gospel and you mischaracterize the truth as something that not just includes others apart from you..it also excludes you...

    Amen. You know we are on the same page. Religious people compare themselves with those who are OUTSIDE the church...condemning them of course, but never considering why Jesus is condemning the Laodiceans for thinking they are something they are not. Sure, in their own eyes they are rich and in...

    The liberal gospel says "you don't need to seek, ask and knock...He is already in you, all you need to do is discover what's already inside you".. This kind of thinking comes from Buddhism. It tells a person that they are already complete...no need to seek outside themselves. And this is a very...

    Since you don't seem to want to go away, I will TRY to address your concerns as real or imagined as they may be. ;) OK...an inclusive social gospel??? Where do you get that? The bible testifies that Jesus died for the sins of the WHOLE world. That's not me saying that...you have an issue with...

    I already ripped up those false doctrines. You want me to take them back out of the compost bin? Yuck! hmmx1:

    I don't think you are qualified to discern true doctrine. If you can read my posts and understand them...then you are reading sound doctrine. And because it is sound it might be too deep for spiritual novices. The proof is to seek God about it. I've had people who disagreed with me then...

    I rip up false doctrines...to save the person. I don't rip up people. :phew:

    Spiritual Warfare

    We can "put on" armour by imagination...as in..you're putting me on! ;) We can spiritualize a text without ANY reality being present. Putting on spiritual armour is synonymous with putting on Christ...a covering of righteousness in the light of God's love, and power. AKA The armour of light...

    They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...even mounting up into the higher walk...as eagles. ;) Amen...like Joshua and Caleb. Faith in God to do the seemingly impossible. :) Amen. Zeal for God does not always equal being on God's side. A big lesson in spiritual warfare is the...

    What becomes of our faith if the Genesis account is NOT literal?

    Faith is a real thing. And reconciliation with God a very desirable thing. :) For many, yes, they follow other sheep who seem to know where they are going. Religious certainty for many gives them peace of mind. Of course judgment day is coming and God will have His say on that. Or as the...

    I think so. A weak and feeble person in the flesh can be a spiritual giant. We can't judge spiritual things by appearances. I know that "being yet carnal" is yet a state of immaturity. That is for real followers of Christ. We sometimes have to learn to crawl before we learn to walk. But a...

    Spiritual Warfare

    If a person is interested in holiness and the higher walk in the Spirit, then he/she has to learn to ask the right questions. It's about getting the questions right...and ceasing from trying to provide oneself with answers based on one's own understanding by just reading a bible. Lean NOT on...

    Spiritual Warfare

    If you can do it...go for it. :) Actually, you are conflating two different things here. The higher walk is not about maturity...but PURITY...being without sin in the perfection of Christ. Even a fool can walk in purity...in holiness. Notice this. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and...

    That's great! The Bereans likewise took notes and compared what Paul taught with the scriptures. That's the whole point of the video and everything I do. I don't want people just agreeing with me. I'm looking for a deeper fellowship with fellow disciples. The church system tells people what to...

    I think maybe you are getting carried away with your role on the thread. And you don't have to be "part of" this thread. But if you must persist in your role... I preach Christ...not Paul. The kingdom of God, not a wrong understanding of grace as you teach. My doctrine is biblical and...

    I thank you for your contribution to this thread...on how someone would try to defend the modern gospel against the truth. I think it is necessary for someone to play devil's advocate so that any flaw in one's grasp of the truth could be exposed. Jewish theology has the devil being a servant...

    For those who are visiting this thread which is about spiritual warfare...some of the members here are displaying, for the purpose of this thread, the kind of lies that have infiltrated into the churches. These will do so whether they realize it or not. But I appreciate the opportunity to...

    The bible teaches that the cross is about holiness. If you read the bible you will see that God is ever merciful and forgiving. If you only read what Paul has written, you will go off in your understanding to the point where you deny Christ and the gospel. Peter warns us of what unlearned and...

    I think that all of you who are stuck on believing in Jesus or not...and how important it is..how it is a "dire need" as I hear those who need Christ right now...these should get on with it...and do it! Believe! If you have a theory on how to become a believer, then I suggest you follow through...

    It's very easy to understand that you have settled on a different gospel than what Paul or Jesus preached....you are not paying attention to the bible at all. You are on your own. OK maybe you have cohorts here that also reject the truth. If you have to throw out Jesus from your equation to...
