Anything future is based on hope not faith. This is a common error that is stubbornly clung to...since without changing hope into faith...a big hole appears....no faith. But to confuse redemption of the body for a spiritual calling and empowerment now is to fully miss the witness of Jesus...and...

You are simply defending delusional thinking here...not believers. I'm a believer in Christ WITHOUT the delusional thinking. So then one can believe in delusion or not...but delusion exists. All delusion requires someone to believe in it. That's what beliefs do. Faith in Christ is something very...

No. Inheriting life is not the same as entering into life right now. There is MUCH confusion on this. To be with Christ NOW means we walk in His perfection 24/7 365 days...or until we are not abiding in Him. Inheriting life is based on mercy. God justifies even the ungodly for that standard...

Or...believing things ABOUT Jesus and thinking that our acceptance of Him is what God is looking for. Believing INTO Jesus means we are walking with the Father WHERE He is. The omnipresence of God means we can do that while still in these mortal bodies. But in truth we can walk beyond this...

The suffering of Christ was not meant to be a sacrifice to us...to be accepted by us or not. We don't get to accept Jesus for ourselves. That's not how it works. We need to be, rather, accepted into the Beloved. God does the accepting, not us. Jesus sacrifice was to the Father....NOT to us. No...

This makes it sound like the kingdom of God should only be sought for as an after-life. The bible is misunderstood since the depth of it is unknown. Having eternal life makes us walk on the same level as Christ in the world...without sin. As He IS...so are we in this world. All this focus on...

Maybe at first. People are adaptable, even programmable. Without proper direction, correction, doctrine, and good examples to follow...people can take a good thing and assume it means something it doesn't, even doing the very opposite of what the free gift/charity is meant to instill. Not at...

....and the best way to understand both standards is to experience them from the Lord... :)

Assistance for what? Do you have a half-ton? (a Bakkie)

What people so often do is rail against the holy standard. Of course the righteous standard is also being abused in the process. I'm fully outside the scenario...speaking into it. I don't abide either a lack of respect for holiness nor righteousness. It is my acceptance of God's ways that makes...

Jesus came to save the world, not condemn it. For His elect? What about the Romans who put Him on the cross or the Sadducees who condemned Him? Did Jesus not say BEFORE He died..Forgive them Father, they know not what they do? I guess for those who confuse forgiveness and holiness that would...

Why do I have to molly coddle those who disagree with the truth in order to be "kindly disposed" toward them? I receive a lot of hostility from those who take offense when I say that the flesh has no place in the church...that is...unless it is owned up to and forsaken. I think it's in...

The trick, as it were, is to differentiate between faith and beliefs. I walk by faith in the God that I know and that is testified to in the Bible. The words of God back up the experience of God and vice versa. When one considers that without visitation and empowerment from the Spirit there...

The ideology or the visitation and empowering from God?

LOL. Not the same as God finding a person wanting!!! :) I'm out based on not catering to the flesh by looking for any bent in the bible I can twist to my own advantage. I guess I must have a death wish or inferiority complex...when it come to God's holy ways. I may never unlearn that fear of...

IOW...a disciple. Do as you see fit.

Nonsense argument...just a jumble of statements that have no cohesion...as usual. Normally I would let you rant on without any response. But to others who want to see how the bible SHOULD be translated. There are key passages that help us understand the bible. The bible helps us translate words...

Nonsense coming from your own mind. You have no biblical evidence apart from whatever has been mistranslated from the Greek to make it more popular. And it seems to have worked. Where do you get your ideas from? "You can't be "sanctified" until all your sins are forgiven?" What commentaries do...

No translation in particular. I compare text with texts...for the OT I use the Hebrew Masoretic...the Septuagint....and the DSS. I of course also read English (KJV and NAS) and the French bible (Louis Segond and version la Colombe). I am not well versed in Greek. However I have learned the...

You are doing what you say I'm doing. What do you say to this "rabid" verse? Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Does his sound rabid or wrong to you??? Or just when I cite it?
