    The social gospel?

    The bible doesn't speak of the outer man? I write this for any honest people out there. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 2 Cor. 4 Then there is the reading comprehension, which you lack, and spiritual understanding...

    A lie. I do both. All you can do is insult...no content...no truth...just insults and deviations. But can you engage the argument? False. You can read a Concordance can't you? It's in English. I challenge you to look up what I stated. Can you engage the argument and NOT insult? I'm reading...

    As false as can be. Well the first part is correct. But the cross overcomes sin. The power of death applied to the part of us that sins....the outer man. Have you read my post #686...which no honest person can disregard in content....just dishonestly disregard in responding in an honest way...

    Speaking of a lack of honesty...who wants to engage my post #686 ? Who cares for the meaning of words? :dusted:

    You condemn this forum? It allows you to rant and rave...why can't that be seen as being flexible? :ummm:

    The social gospel?

    The opposite is true. The cross is about freedom from sin into holiness...into fellowship with God...to walk as Jesus walked...according to the power of the gospel. All you are looking for is a continuing carte blanche to sin...a general amnesty for self-interested individuals. And that is what...

    And that means there are still champions in he realm. ;) All is not completely lost. Darkness has not fully descended on the kingdom...and other such metaphors. The mob wants to rule by their own designs...and on most forums like this, the bullies chase off the meek...and the truth is...

    The social gospel?

    Amen. It's funny how so much is riding on the weight of one word. If we get the word wrong we miss out on life. But when we get the word right... our hearts line up with God and open the heavens. All from the seeming foolishness of preaching. :)

    The social gospel?

    The cross is not about forgiveness..it is about freedom from the bondage of sin, so that God doesn't have to keep forgiving us. The Hebrew word for a release from debt is not the same word as for freedom. No, the release from debt is Shemitah. This is the sabbatical year where debt is forgiven...

    The social gospel?

    You are ranting like a spoiled child instead of being mature enough to prove your assertion. A discussion group doesn't include throwing tantrums when your favourite toy is taken away. If the class stopped shouting, I can PROVE that the gospel has been deviated away from the truth to serve the...

    It is an unruly class that I try to speak to. :)

    The social gospel?

    Amen, that's why I expose the darkness of it with the light of the truth. Amen again...the power of God to walk as Jesus walked without sin. In Him is no sin. Exactly....claiming to be justified and saved by choosing the nice sounding verses for themselves while ignoring the verses that can...

    The social gospel?

    No flaw or sin in Christ. That's the point of it you are missing. You are looking at what Jesus can do for you...and rather than submit to God's righteousness...you claim to have it already. The flaw in your position is that it becomes all about you. You are still wanting to be justified for...

    The social gospel?

    You are not understanding righteousness. Look what Paul says about himself before knowing Christ.... as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless. Phil. 3:6 Found blameless? You say you understand Paul...but not anyone else. But you are...

    Deconstruction Part 2: Into Apostolicity

    I'm pleased to know that you were encouraged (in the inner man)! Thank you for your encouragement! :) <>< IOW we sow to the Spirit long before we reap a spiritual walk of victory...or walk in the Spirit. We reap as we sow, but God will test us to make us genuine in faith and faithfulness. He...

    A good saying.

    The social gospel?

    Are you confessing? Or accusing? Or just being curious? We are called to discern...not calling good, evil, or evil good. That's in the bible. Truth exposes lies, light exposes darkness. Also found in the bible.,

    The social gospel?

    Agreed. But seeking with a whole heart is very difficult....seemingly impossible. Of course with God all things are possible. My need is not so great at this time that I know how to cry out with ALL my heart. I am blessed. And that very blessing makes it harder for me to think I need God as for...

    The social gospel?

    A religious belief killer you mean. May it be so. We are to be humble and contrite before God ....not smug and self-assured as you want to be and are. Faith is not about us and our state...it's about how we see God. You are not understanding the miraculous walk that is found by abiding in...

    For those who love religious commentary based on opinions of people who have no understanding of spiritual things...yet are trying to be objective... "I have listed the seventeen biblical occurrences of αφεσις recorded in Young’s Concordance and have tabulated the translation of the word in...
