    The social gospel?

    Humanistic propaganda. You think I'm avoiding sanctification by speaking about holiness? :rolleyes: :ummm:

    The social gospel?

    One thing that will NEVER be considered among the self-interested ones...is that God is holy and that is the purpose of the atonement. Old Slew-foot has them convinced they will never be holy...or that it will take a lifetime to do so. Does it take a lifetime to be forgiven? Of course not. And...

    The social gospel?

    An indoctrinated mind is a scary thing. Delusional thinking is known by its departure from reality. I know that some who normally agree with you...based on self-interest, will see some of your posts as outlandish. Do you deny that Jesus is God too? Forgiveness from God is the same as...

    The social gospel?

    You are out there in space...and show to all the folly of an indoctrinated mind. For you salvation is the ability to sin and get away with it. Good luck with that.

    The social gospel?

    Like denying God's power over sin in the believer. Jesus doesn't buy up all our sins. He provides us with grace to overcome sin as He did. That's the gospel...to be saved FROM sin...not in sin. He came to take away (not cover up) the sins of the world. Grace overcomes sin. We get that power...

    The social gospel?

    This truth goes directly against your indoctrination. Without blood there is no forgiveness of sins? No...We are to forgive one another 70x7...a small amount compared to God's mercy. Are we to be more forgiving than God is? No...without blood there is no FREEDOM (aphesis) from sin. A life for...

    The social gospel?

    Either humble and contrite...or proud and self-assured. Where do you fit in?

    The social gospel?

    Jesus didn't "pay" for people's sins. Sins are free. But Jesus always forgave sins...no need for the cross for that. Read the bible. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy...

    The social gospel?

    Eternal life is a kind of life...to walk as Jesus walked. Of course salvation is conditional. In your mind you have guaranteed a future life in heaven. But the bible has a lot of "ifs". When and if you read the bible again you will perhaps notice these. I am saying to seek the Lord and...

    The social gospel?

    That's believe INTO Him. HAS eternal life...experiences His resurrection life....NOW! Don't confuse the gospel with an after-life religion. This is not Valhalla...but the kingdom of God. Seek first the kingdom....seek to die? No...seek the Lord and live.

    The social gospel?

    These threads get locked because the flesh agenda comes to them to steal away sound doctrine. No apology necessary. No need to thank me.

    The social gospel?

    When God sent Ananias of Damascus to lay hands on Saul/Paul, He never once said that either he or Paul's sins were forgiven. Maybe it's because neither of them had read the NT yet?...including Paul who wrote most of it...but probably didn't read it after. :rolleyes: Maybe God has a different...

    The social gospel?

    false. I have posted many verses about God's mercy before Christ came. God always forgave...just as Jesus also forgave the Romans on the cross. But either you can't read or your ignorance is wilfull. I'm hoping you are only illiterate, for your sake.

    The social gospel?

    No use for your flesh. Jesus is there for you to use. Self-preservation 101. A bad rendering of the text. Jesus because sin to us....we made Him to be sin. Not God. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. I can post verses that go directly against your theories but it won't help...

    The social gospel?

    You are joking right? You think Jesus had wrathful thoughts against his own disciples until He died? This is where lies you believe lead you into cloud cuckoo land. You are so incredibly off that you have to be a caricature. The rest is more twaddle based on a compete ignorance of the...

    The social gospel?

    Like in the first 100 years or so? God will put up with our childish ways for a time. But have you ever read the parable of dunging the tree? Are you speaking of yourself and your cohorts here? Are you making some kind of confession? It is true that immature believers will make it about them...

    The social gospel?

    Jesus told His disciples...follow Me. He NEVER told them that He forgave them....never. To modern snow-flake ideologues....this is NOT correct. They think the disciples should have said ! WAIT! I will NOT follow you unless you tell me I'm forgiven. As if the disciples had the same carnal agenda...

    The social gospel?

    You are covering up the truth with an anti-holiness rant by appealing to the self-preservation instinct embedded in the flesh. And some will be duped. The cross of Christ is about holiness. You deny this VERY STRONGLY. So you are enemy of the cross. Keep trying to fool others... with their own...

    The social gospel?

    Judge not lest you be judged. Gandhi was an honest man...that's why I think you don't like him.

    The social gospel?

    It is through grace...God's power...that we can walk as Jesus walked. Your gospel denies this power. But it goes directly against the true gospel. That's why I say it. Look at this... He that saith he abides in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked. John 2:6 Can you be honest for...
