    Spiritual Warfare

    But ye have come unto Mount Zion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are written in Heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect...

    Spiritual Warfare

    If that was the case then speaking to those who are already perfected...he would be speaking to dead corpses. " Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you Phil. 3:15 In your view Paul wants dead...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Exactly, that's a good measuring stick. If there is no hope of attaining Christ in this life, then all we are left with is a people who do NOTHING in regard to seeking God's face as they wait to die. Satan doesn't want live saints. No. The high calling was and is to WIN CHRIST. To apprehend...

    Spiritual Warfare

    In the lower walk we struggle against sin...by an effort of the will. And we can do well by learning self-control...building up our defenses against sin. I'm not against this except one will NEVER conquer sin in this way. Instead God has made a provision in Christ whereby the battle is the...

    Spiritual Warfare

    And I'm sure the disagreement extends farther beyond the two of you. ;) You are misunderstanding Pauls' words...a common thing to do. The early church fathers saw themselves as athletes in a race. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect (at this time in...

    Spiritual Warfare

    Spiritualizing away the things of God and being spiritual in Christ are not compatible. One is fighting against the other for supremacy in the church. The flesh wars against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. The flesh puts on a religious certainty to combat faith. And that which is...

    Spiritual Warfare

    They say that the first casualty of war is the truth. Where it comes to warfare in the Spirit, are we involving ourselves as part of the solution, or part of the problem? Do we know ourselves? Do we know the nature of the warfare? Join me in this episode as the battle lines are clearly delineated.

    The social gospel?

    You didn't read my post or you have not been given the ability to read what I wrote. If you had you could read it and not ask a silly question like that. Is there anybody that can read my post and answer her question? Any at all?

    The social gospel?

    Are you able to read what I posted? I put in colours. Can you see the colours? Or are you going to fluff it away?

    The social gospel?

    While that is true you are ignoring what God said...He said ON THAT DAY....instantly. That's what is important to understand for a spiritual believer. A carnal believer only looks at the physical aspect because he/she doesn't care at all about holiness.

    The social gospel?

    Now, I have explained the way of truth in so many ways...but the comprehension is very slow or non-existent. I will add one more post that explains the gospel...I just need one verse to do it. Now, maybe half of the readers won't be able to read my post...lest they read with their eyes and...

    The social gospel?

    Religious people don't try to understand the bible..no, they already know what they want it to mean. So they cobble together a fable that leaves out more than half of the scriptures...and rail at anyone who mentions that small fact. :woot:

    The social gospel?

    Is this a nursery? Let no one take our rattles. Romper room...unite! And you are not helping RJ in her trouble...but do you care?

    The social gospel?

    No one is saved from the penalty of sin. The soul that sins it shall die. You have to deny God Himself to promote your scheme...which is fully unbiblical. Even Paul says the same thing...and you deny it. So you are just a schemer who think he can exploit what Jesus did for his own ends. Not a...

    Saved FROM sin. Listen very carefully. :cool:

    The social gospel?

    A tree is known of its fruit. Humans are very complicated creatures...possessing both an inner man and outer man. People are mixed and give mixed signals/messages all the time. The more inconsistent, the more unstable the soul. By inconsistent, I mean not able to communicate in a mature way...

    LOL Are you saved? Ps. Stop taking yourself so seriously.. ease up a little. This is a forum not an inquisition joy:

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    I have rejected the translators understanding when it comes to important passages about the mystery of Christ...by understanding the truth even as it is laid out in the unfiltered, non-diverted, non-curated bible.
  19. Episkopos

    The social gospel?

    To understand spiritual things a person needs to be spiritual in Christ. So your admitting to not understand things I say I take to mean you are immature and stuck in a most basic loop...an obsession...that can't help anyone. You are defending yourself whereas people need to be understood and...

    The social gospel?

    I'm posting a proper understanding of scripture to those who don't have it. I can also help somebody carry the groceries. I don't claim to be growing by doing that. You are filtering everything you read through a self-righteous agenda...on the defensive. You are stuck on an obsession that many...
