    The Key to Discipleship

    You mean you haven't found anyone that agrees with you on all points...you being the paragon of orthodoxy. :ummm: How would you know the truth is you encountered it? You have neither humility nor the fear of the Lord. As such, you will never understand anything deeper than your own mind...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    All your own ideas...fully unbiblical. It's too funny that a bible verse means nothing to fundamentalist types when it gets in the way of their own surmising. Some here have a very Taliban like judgmentalism against non-believers...they're all going to hell, they say. Are you saying that...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    What of...let His blood be on us and our children? Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Matt 27:26 And how then can the responsibility for Jesus' death be on all men at all times and yet not on Jews for all time?

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    What I see is that the blood guilt of Christ on the Jews at that time (and also into the future) necessitated a more back and white approach to salvation for these...for these it was believe or perish. Among these we see the "dire need to believe on Christ." Unfortunately, people misunderstand...

    The social gospel?

    A self-righteous person is such because he BELIEVES he is righteous (for whatever reason). Seeking until you find means an actual connection to God through visitation and empowering. You are using double-speak to justify yourself.There is no "right faith, and wrong faith".... this proves that...

    The social gospel?

    "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33

    The social gospel?

    That's true. I preach a holy Jesus who atoned for the sins of the world...and was raised to justify all who walk in His resurrection life. The cross is about taking AWAY the sins of the world...not just covering them up or pretending that people are not carnal and sinful...even as they name and...

    The social gospel?

    When I think of what could be termed as being a social gospel, I think of people like Gandhi, Oprah, or MLK (Martin Luther King) Of the 3 only the latter could be termed as preaching a social gospel, as he was a minister of religion....aka a pastor. Mlk used the life of Jesus as something to...

    Right Faith vs Wrong Faith

    What you are really trying to say is that there are right religious "beliefs" and wrong religious "beliefs". This has nothing to do with the bible at all. Since the devil can't change the bible itself, what he does is redefine words. Words like "faith"...now become beliefs. Words like...

    The Key to Discipleship

    This is due to your confusion....the difference between being merciful and being unequally yoked. I asked you if you were married to a believer...no response, concerning being unequally yoked. Yet do I harp on all the things you ignore?..no, I expect you to be dishonest. So are you unequally...

    The Key to Discipleship

    Whom God loves He chastens and whips. Why?...to save our souls. The wounds of a brother are faithful...

    The Key to Discipleship

    Thanks brother. There is a chasm between being a normal human walking out his/her faith...and there is a completely surrendered life in holiness where it is no longer you doing things...fully controlled or "possessed" of God. If we want out...God lets us out, He is a Gentleman. But getting...

    The Key to Discipleship

    Yes. Faith comes by hearing (or reading) the word of God. So I came to understand EXACTLY what Paul is talking about in His epistles. Last fall, I was riding my bike next to a wheat field and I entered into this zone...eternal zone. I didn't hear anything or see anything..just this...

    The Key to Discipleship

    I believed INTO Jesus. To walk as He walked. What you did was believe ABOUT Jesus. No power, no intimacy, no reality...just a religious certainty. There is so much MORE to the Christian walk than puffing up a religious ego...the very thing we are NOT to do. We are to believe INTO Jesus...then...

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    LOL. Well, you are being consistent with being a bad person...saved by religion. The we is ALL men. read the bible.

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    No. Sorry.

    The Key to Discipleship

    I come from a lapsed Catholic background...musician type. I was living in a foreign city (Winnipeg)... I was from Quebec city. And I was very alone there. No friends or family...and I became depressed. My girlfriend was gone for the summer and I had no gig. I was also convicted of my sins...

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    God is indeed merciful to non-believers...if they DO the commandments of God. We will be judged by what we DO...not what we believe.

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    The "especially those that believe" closes the loophole that sees fundamentalists trying to negate the word of God as they are wont to do so often.
