    What is the Kingdom of God?

    LOL. What you are under big time is the exclusive hate thing...judgmentalism, pride...etc. You think that what you DO doesn't matter because you have been indoctrinated into a belief religion that only has power to deceive you....by judging others and justifying yourself. It's funny that for...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Inclusive love? Sounds dangerous! This risks overwhelming hate, racism, judgmentalism, pride and a host of other things that cause religion to thrive. Truly scary. :ummm:

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    This is such a good point. Eternity is a very long time, especially when you get near the end.

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    The irony. The thread is about the kingdom of God. And you want to be seen as having the same higher ways as God does...but in your flesh. That's the point you want to make. It's about you. It's all about you. You are not God. That's the point.

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    This was my response to what you wrote.. Eternally Grateful said: You can;t enter by earning it, or by working And to prove you have no idea what you're talking about....but just saying the opposite to whatever I post....and will say anything to obscure the truth....this is how you responded...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    LOL Still trying to draw a parallel between yourself and God?! :ummm: What hubris! What arrogance. There's also the very common practice of falsely naming and claiming that is warned against...and that SO MANY do. Read about the church of Laodicea.....the church in the last times. The fact...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    A very curious verse to post. This is about the playing out in future ...the cosmos under His dominion. That's future and has nothing to do with us. So then you don't have any responsibility for this...which I think you like. :ummm: You are gaslighting here. And saying I am. My teaching is...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Words can confuse people...if they are not understood in context. There is a difference between a measure and the full measure. I'll leave it to you to figure out which is being presented in the verse below... “And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    How much of this modern name and claim religion is just "having a form of godliness but lacking the power thereof?" Or else...always learning (incrementally) but never coming to the knowledge of the truth"? Relying on the free sample of grace...in order to argue against the full measure of...

    Commanded to love God more than we love ourselves?

    A god made in their image... :ummm:

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    What scripture? No. The standard is not a flexible one. You think you can walk in your measure...but that is not the measure of Christ. Read more carefully...away from your self-interest. To walk as Jesus walked you need to...get this...walk as Jesus walked. Not how He didn't walk...as you...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Before becoming a Christian...or after? :ummm:

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Don't confuse progression in righteousness with a progression in holiness. The bible talks about instruction in righteousness...but no one can be instructed in holiness. One is either holy or not. One is either abiding in Christ, or not. One is either walking free from sin, or else walking in...

    Commanded to love God more than we love ourselves?

    The high calling is to become selfless as God is selfless...denying oneself. For us this means being stripped of self in order to be clothed with His life and power.

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    If we look at Gal. 2:16...we see a direct comparison between...Pistis Christou ...Christ-faith...and ergon nomos, law-works, or works of the law. The works belong to the law...although we can adopt them. Law-works The faith belongs to Christ...although we can walk IN Him (to walk as He...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    I see the faith OF Christ as Christ-faith....or else Christlike faith. I have trouble so often with how words in the bible are translated willy-nilly...to make it more readable for the common man. But so often the meaning is lost. The faith of Christ Christ-faith We are to go from faith to...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    This post begs the question. Were you once homeless? We can take a physical condition and misapply it to a spiritual condition. One can be poor in spirit without the need to beg for the necessities of life. This is not about a physical condition. In Hebrew the word for poor is also the word...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    But He also uses people in the Body. Nobody is an island unto themselves. If we are not teachable, then we will be stunted in our growth. If we remain humble we can learn from anyone...especially those who are more advanced in the Christian life. Not for every individual. But in the Body...
