Amen, pride is a very slippery fellow, and it dwells in all of us. I think of it as being at the very root of the life of our old man. Been thinking about it this morning, the Lord reminding me of some scriptures. Though it can be very strong in a person, it is actually a lie and a house of...

This doesn't demonstrate a care for souls, although I've known and seen for a long time that you have no care for souls. I feel the opposite about you, I always hope you and whoever needs to, will see the things I've been trying to point out as right, for your and their sake. People who have...

From scripture, weeping over one's sins and shortcomings is a good thing, Epi. Not to be avoided. It's called ploughing the fallow ground of our hearts. Godly sorrow leads to repentance, which is one of the best kept secrets in Christendom. If we confess our sins He will be faithful to not...

I was drawn to the topic of holiness here........the one thing I'm most interested in hearing about and discussing in recent years and I don't see it being discussed anywhere else. There are certain things that Epi talks about that I agree with, in principle at least, and wanted to hear more...

Unfortunately what you preach/teach is MIXTURE. Mixture is not of God, period, full stop, end of story. HE has taught me to be unequivocal about that. That is why the Catholic church is also not of Him, period, full stop, end of story, but is ruled by another spirit, not the HOLY Spirit. The...

Amen....and it does take the POWER of God to save a soul. With man it is impossible to save himself by his own righteousness.

Amen. And I'm afraid it doesn't look good for anyone who apparently has an inability to acknowledge any wrong when they are clearly confronted with it. God commands all men everywhere to repent. Jesus went around preaching repentance. His Spirit in a person gives us a tender conscience...

Had a hunch from the start of this thread that you might be trying to get folks back under the Law again. The new wine replaces the old. So much so that it even required a whole new wineskin. The Law is not the foundation, Jesus Christ is.

Except that unfortunately what you are calling Phariseeism is the preaching/teaching of Christ and the apostles.

Not going to keep up this back and forth any more. So strange that anyone would keep insisting people can have fear of a God they have no knowledge of and don't believe in.

Never said what you are saying I said....you better go back and read my post again. Unless this is another deliberate attempt to twist things. On what grounds do you assume and accuse that I and others here have no testimony, no experience and no deeds? You have absolutely no grounds at all...

Except that the point of the good Samaritan parable was not about salvation.....there is nothing there about the good Samaritan being saved unto eternal life. The point of it was a lesson about hypocrisy, nothing more than that. And a good lesson it is, but it's not a teaching about salvation...

Well it is GOD who says, If ye have not the Son, ye have not the Father either. Your false gospel has people being "accepted" by God without having received the Son within them. That is HOW He is the mediator and Way to the Father.......Christ IN us. There is no other way. That IS His great...

Oh I'm testing the spirits, thanks be to God. People can sure have spiritual experiences that are not of God and HIS Spirit. Such as Hindus and Buddhists and new agers have, as they aspire for perfection and holiness without the foundation of Christ. And of course they are being deceived...

It means no man can be reconciled to the Father except through faith in Christ and receiving Him, His Spirit.....Christ IN us is the hope of glory. We must be careful of adding meanings to His word that He doesn't intend. Epi has people coming to the Father without Christ, because they...

I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't know what faith is.......that is what joins us with Christ and makes us one spirit with Him via the Holy Spirit....and you presume to assume that everyone who questions and challenges you don't have experiences which confirm our faith and that we don't "do...

Heb 11:4 By FAITH Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. You know, the very first verse of this chapter tells us what faith is as I’ve pointed out before...

FAITH in what Jesus did for us on the cross is not vain imagination. And stop mistaking me for someone who doesn't believe that by works faith is made perfect (works that proceed from faith/spirit, not from our flesh).

The gospel IS the bigger picture, not an acorn. It is nothing less than the mystery of God hid from the foundation of the world.

But how can someone who doesn't know God see themselves accurately before Him?
