    The social gospel?

    Attacking your bible? :rolleyes: I have many bibles...and I never once had an urge to attack any of them. But I don't just read commentaries or translations thinking they are from God. How gullible can you be? And you are watching me? LOL I grovel in mortification at your omnipresence. Who do...

    The social gospel?

    Not at all. Gandhi, being a righteous man, saw through the false gospel of naming and claiming. He saw the spoiled excesses that caused people to believe they were justified IN their sin. He probably never met an actual disciple of Christ. As such what he was rejecting was legitimate as Jesus...

    Are you saying that one day you hope to be a Christian?

    The social gospel?

    Why do you limit God's power, and belittle His mercy and kindness...to justify yourself? You deny the truth of the scriptures? Why? To what end...beyond self-justification? That's not in the bible. You are reading a mis-translation...and if you could read what I'm typing, you would see that...

    The social gospel?

    The social gospel comes from the reformation...the time of human elevation. People want to be justified In their sin. And the devil sought to corrupt the faith of Christ at this time by deviating the gospel and grace to serve both the flesh...and himself.....and it worked. Many, many now hold...

    The social gospel?

    Hi Rita. The reason that the "gang" (the ones who circle around me and attack me then call me the bully...poor them :oops:) want the cross to be about forgiveness, is they that want to be justified in their carnal state. The bible clearly teaches that the cross is about atonement, not...

    The Modern Gospel

    It's all they have...they have a physical bible...and an ego...and no humility.

    The Modern Gospel

    When people try using the bible against the Spirit, they are not really upholding the bible at all. The bible points to the Spirit and doesn't need to be defended against it. The letter kills, the Spirit gives life. ... to serve God by the newness of the Spirit, not in the oldness of the...

    The social gospel?

    Dishonesty and a mean spirit...typical of a poser. :oops:

    The social gospel?

    Keep reading yourself into the bible as you wish. And that's what you get.

    The Modern Gospel

    That's right. We can have righteousness imputed to us by God (not His righteousness but ours) through either works OR faith. You are adding in the word God's in there though your indoctrination...seeing words that are invisible. There is a righteousness apart from works! Yes. Otherwise we could...

    The Modern Gospel

    We reap as we sow. The modern gospel denies this. We are to sow in righteousness...HUMAN righteousness and break up our fallow ground. Shake up our foolish religious beliefs...and SEEK THE LORD. That's IN the bible. Until...He comes and rains HIS righteousness on us. That's not the same kind of...

    The Modern Gospel

    A righteous man still sins. God recognized the HUMAN righteousness of Abraham. Just like God recognizes the human righteousness of the good Samaritan. There are 2 levels of righteousness. Loving your neighbour as yourself. And loving God with all. 2 tablets of commandments. A double edged...

    The Modern Gospel

    If the bible could speak to you what would it say? Would it puff you up and say you are God's righteousness, that you are seated in heavenly places? NO. The bible would tell you that you are poor, naked, wretched, and blind....and in need of seeking first the kingdom of God BEFORE making...

    The Modern Gospel

    That's my point. Faith translates us into the same walk that is testified to in the bible. No need for imagination. If we let God judge what we are to be...then He will either not visit us...and we remain as we are. Or, He will translate us into the kingdom walk in eternal life that we...

    The Modern Gospel

    The true gospel says...while we were yet sinners Jesus died for us (because of us). Rom. 5:8 The false gospel says ...while we were yet sinners God imputed His own righteousness to us (No verse found that remotely suggests this) How many follow a dead religion whereby Jesus has to stay on the...

    The Modern Gospel

    Who decides what faith is required to be covered by God's righteousness? Is that up to us? Are we to assume that God accepts whatever we do? But you misquote me...as you must to make a case against sound doctrine. But you know you are twisting my words...as well as the bible...to uphold your...

    The Modern Gospel

    The gospel is not about preserving the flesh. It's about believing that God has something better for us as we forsake it.

    The Modern Gospel

    Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Johann is obviously here for an ego fix. When someone posts even 1/ 10th or less of what he posts as commentary...he calls that trying to impress, So back 10x to him. The truth is people judge others as THEY are. I can't be judged that way...

    The Modern Gospel

    1. You're just a show-off 2. You are avoiding me by taking everything I say and studying it. 3. You say I'm Gnostic and then affirm everything I say by saying this could be taught. Any other contradictions and inversions that I'm missing? :)
