    "Most people don't really want the truth. They just want a constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth."

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    It's funny how you are able to twist things. For you, being religious is about sexual sins. The opposite is true (of course) The Pharisees looked down on any kind of physical sins. So again, you are completely off in right field. A religious spirit prides itself that it is NOT like regular...

    And yet...he called out the hypocrites in public, in order to warn others to not follow their example. We in the rich spoiled West need rebukes, corrections, instructions AND after that edification. Without these many will be rejected from the kingdom. So then to keep silent when it is time to...

    If it wasn't so sad and foolish it would be funny. A bully checks out his fists and thinks...who can I pound with these? A religious hypocrite reads about there being false teachers and thinks...anybody who doesn't believe what I do is obviously a false teacher. Same carnal mind at work...

    I'm glad to see that you don't have a religious spirit. :) That spirit spins the worst possible scenario on others in order to support a self-righteous best possible spin on oneself. VERY prevalent among those who pretend to be able to judge for God.

    You are just exposing yourself...so sad.

    Love destroys the doctrines of the pretenders. You will know them by their fruit.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    The perfect need to be perfected. Of course! Jesus had also to be perfected in His humanity. There is the perfection of holiness...and the perfection of character. One is about purity and the other about maturity. Maturity is what we are learning...NOT purity. With more maturity we hold onto...

    "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 John 1:7

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    The "new and living way" that is in Christ is not based on a covering up of our true condition. No, God sanctifies those who are His in order that they might be reconciled into a intimate walk with Him. We can assume we are "His" the same way we defend our rights as citizens in our own country...

    John MacArthur on N.T. Wright

    Some might say that the spiritual approach is too hard on Christians who are "yet carnal". But God's loves mercy. And He is patient...although not willing to strive with man forever. To the carnal believer...I don't condemn him. He's still a brother who struggles with the flesh. We can...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    I don't. What I don't think will work out well for many on judgment day to to claim things that are forbidden. Remember the guest who didn't have his wedding garment on...and was asked why he didn't? Was he treated nicely? Was he mollycoddled? You need to encounter God for real and learn what...

    John MacArthur on N.T. Wright

    I prefer to call a theology as being false than the one teaching it being a false teacher. The aspects of what I see as false I cover in the video...progressive sanctification...being imputed the righteousness of God while still sinning...etc. I would say that Martin Luther is fully overblown as...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    We walk it out backward. We start with His end...being crucified...and then suffer His reproach as we follow Him among so many pretenders. Just as Jesus had to learn human righteousness...we have to learn what God's righteousness is. Jesus came to fulfill ALL righteousness (at both levels)...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    All made up ideology. One is either holy or not. And H2O doe not sanctify a person. That is part of the fables told by pretenders. And you need to learn what eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus is. Eating His flesh is DOING His word...man shall not live by bread alone. And...

    John MacArthur on N.T. Wright

    Should we be quick to judge those who teach errors as being "false teachers"? Where would it end? Without the divine balance that includes both righteousness and holiness we are sure to be teaching half-truths at best. Join me as we investigate a John MacArthur sermon on N.T Wright whereby we...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Assumptions and presumptions. You are not in their shoes. You can't take what is written in the bible in a favourable way for yourself. That's the way of the pretender. And pretenders will be found out. Yes. And the righteous are sanctified as they serve the saints. Read Matt. 25 of the...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Our death is at the cross....to be raised into eternal life (which is a kind of life). Jesus learned human righteousness....as we also do through our sufferings. Those who have suffered a lot tend to be more merciful towards others..so then the love your neighbour commandment becomes easier...

    The Key to Discipleship

    Do we have confidence in the Lord? Then let us boldly go to the throne of grace to obtain mercy (for our iniquity and unbelief) and thus receive grace from God that rescues us in our present state. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    The disciples were in Jesus' presence...walking with Him daily. They left all to follow Him. So they were clean by association. Were they walking in the Spirit? No. Hence the feet needed washing. It also meant that they were still attached to this world. There was no higher walk available at the...
