...and don't forget Luther being anti-Semite. People will overlook an obvious bad character if it suits their own agenda. I think for some people nice sounding words TRUMP good character. :ummm:

Not the same. Read the parable of the good figs and bad figs. All are put in the mouth (in Christ) ....but half are spit back out. Read about Laodicia. Laodicea is the church in our time. Notice how they are deceived into thinking they are something...but it is superficial. They are in...

A religious opinion places you in a favourable light in order to name and claim all the benefits of the bible while ignoring ALL the warnings of the bible. Because this is artificial...there is NO repentance possible nor any fear of the Lord. I rest my case. If we believe INTO Christ. A whole...

How important is it to press into the kingdom realm? How is that accomplished? What part does faith have to play? Join us as we look into "Pressing into the Kingdom".

Smoke-srceening. And strawman-ing. Of course people do what they think is right. Do people do works that they don't believe in? The premise is that people do things based on a ideological belief system. Only religious people do that. And you are arguing in favour of human beliefs over faith...

When we have faith in Christ....REAL faith...a faith that God acknowledges and that He is pleased with...THEN we are translated into the kingdom realm. From there we walk in the faith OF Christ...being where He is, walking in His life (blood), walking in His love...walking in His light. His...

Christ followers. You are a Luther follower. Don't confuse the two. Luther is NOT an apostle. He is a bringer of great delusion. ....to the degree that his doctrine immunizes people so that they are unable to endure sound doctrine. I post many more times the bible verses than those who use the...

Who are you to judge? Your own blindness causes you to lash out at others who are clearly far ahead of you in understanding. God gives grace to the humble...so then you have not experienced anything other than the free samples. A shallow soil gets offended...because it has no depth and is easily...

Not so....read James. Human righteousness can be imputed by both faith and works. Where faith ONLY comes to play is into the kingdom walk. No one can do works to enter into the kingdom realm of the Spirit. That is ONLY possible by faith. And that is what Paul was talking about. He ONLY cared...

The proper way to receive the gospel of the kingdom is to marvel at it like a child. Not to respond with a "grown-up" skepticism that negates the wonders of God. The higher walk? Yes...we marvel that God can do that with us weak humans. Praise God for His goodness, mercy and grace. Rather, so...

This is not the case. God can impute righteousness on anyone....even non Christians and non-Jews like Abraham. What is ONLY available for those who have entered into the kingdom realm of the Spirit is to be COVERED by God's righteousness...to walk in His righteousness...His holiness, His power...

I have ceased to look for any logic in some of the corrosive posts here...unless it is there to defend a superficial name-it claim-it religious agenda that is self-aggrandizing. The part of some that they are defending is what Paul sought to crucify in order to "win Christ." God makes no...

You are going in circles here. Are we laying a foundation or forgetting that and reaching for what lies ahead? There is no logic to your ideas. I'm talking about apprehending the kingdom, and you react harshly against that to talk about foundations. Read your own posts. Anyway I mainly ignore...

"Of course that is not what I be like, or others. But there is no point in going further until you get the foundation right...as well as other problems. That foundation has to be right or the rest of the building will be askew." (Circular Wilderness type reasoning provided by Lizbeth) Psa 11:3...

While you are stuck on the foundation, do you realize that we are building on it whether we think we are or not. How many are building with their own human understanding? Religious conditioning? Best guesses? But Jesus counsels us to buy from Him the materials that can withstand the fires of...

People be like.....Why risk ourselves by trying to take the Promised land? There is no such thing, really. It's just an ideal not worth pursuing. Why risk ourselves in an impossible venture? Haven't we been already saved by a most miraculous work of God...just look at what it took to divide the...

I gave up my own reality to follow Christ. :)

If crackers lose their saltiness, what are they good for?

A lot of people seem to know what church is not supposed to be. But it seems very few know what it is supposed to be. In the meantime we can't seem to all agree on the same errors.

People are catered to in their fleshly preferences because the institutions are run as enterprises. Local businesses with franchise outlets. So on a given street corner you have churches advertising their products appealing to various interests and racial preferences. Do these business outlets...
