Why would you care about your eternal condition apart from being saved?

No beginning and no end...otherwise it isn't eternal.

Safety in numbers? Go with that.

I read a lot of carnal people's various appraisals. I am inviting you to stop with the knee jerk reactions, feelings, and surmisings.....and engage in the biblical doctrines through the text. I sound hard because I have little to nothing to work with that isn't based on human appraisals that...

There is a depth to the ways of Gd that many don't realize. We can sow to the flesh even as we read the bible. How so? When we are looking to boost our own religious certainties we are NOT sowing to the Spirit (God is self-LESS) ...rather, we are sowing to the flesh AND that results in death (a...

There is too much here to respond to. I would stick with the part where you say you think some things I say are right and some are wrong. What do you base either one of these aspects on? What exactly do you find right and wrong? I think that's more helpful rather than getting too...

As in..look I'm not reading this for self-interest.....but hey look, my self-interest is satisfied anyway! Isn't that special?!? The flesh can't help itself...

Paul didn't expect that his writings would be seen as scripture...of course there is a difference between the prophetic nature of the OT and the testimonial revelations of the NT. But sure..I'll lay out Romans 3. It is a little longer...but bear with me...;) Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath...

You seem to agree but you also seem to disagree. You want assurances before you understand the text you are reading...so then you are reading TO FIND that assurance, rather than reading to understand. You are divided in your intent. A heretic divides the truth into what serves him/her. Any...

In our country the northern people are called Inuit...or Dene ....not Eskimo. ;) Am I hard on spoiled carnal people who refuse to get off their own self-interest? Is it OK to rebuke a self-seeker in order to wake them up to the truth? Or are we all to just sleep quietly into eternal judgment...

Many who are NOT growing here remain carnal because they read the bible wrong. My correction of these is taken as a personal attack so often...as these have become spoiled through constant affirmation of the flesh and are used to reacting in the flesh..attacking, and basically throwing tantrums...

Not every scripture is about you. Not every scripture is there to justify you. You feeling sorry for me for missing out on the same ego boost as you receive is very misplaced. You need to grow beyond the beginner stage...the self-interested stage...IF you want to actually learn and grow and have...

Amen! :) If someone is truly born of the Spirit then they will eventually see all that I'm saying. To these...God will reveal even this to you.

You are stuck in Romans 6. This chapter is about the first experience of salvation. Romans 7 goes on to explain the need to be crucified AFTER that experience. Paul says that he was free from the law...walking by the Spirit in Christ and then..."sin revived and I died"...he says. Paul still had...

Why are those who preach the cross and the crucified life within the church hated so much? It is based on the default self-defense mechanism that is built into the flesh. Many have no idea of the part of themselves that God seeks fellowship with...that the New Covenant is CUT with. How many...

The flesh inverts what is true to be something false. Jesus was seen as evil...and still is by many. Was He? Or was it the unbelief that characterizes the outer man ego...that judged Him to be that way? The same thing goes for those who have taken only the first step in the Christian life...but...

What side of your mouth are you speaking out of? :ummm: You asked me to go to the trouble of explaining Romans 4...as you thought you could justify yourself there. When I broke it down...and showed you that this chapter is NOT about the Christian you did exactly what you say I do...you...

What part of you is responding? Is it the part of you that is broken before the Lord...or your reflex outer self-protection? I put down the outer man to uplift the inner man. Read the bible. The truth IS HARD on the flesh...but easy on the spirit. What people do is assume that all the hard stuff...

What commentaries?? I'm taught of the Lord...both by the Spirit and the word. I have posted many such explanations of Paul...especially from Romans. What I find is that when I go to the trouble of explaining things, many will be totally unable to read it, comprehend it, and comment on what I...

Post #39 is not area 51. :ummm: Go back to page 2 and see what I wrote. If you want a more in-depth teaching...go to my podcasts. That's why I go to the trouble of making them...so I don't have to repeat the same things over and over again. :) My ministry is about saving believers..to become...
