It's so unfortunate that you keep throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Are you purged yet Epi? This is an ongoing work of the Lord, if we are submitting to it and allowing Him to.

In order to fear the Lord one must first of all believe on Him. This is not talking about unbelieving Gentiles, but believing.

Who is taking away righteousness from the righteous? Who is righteous? Though just about everyone is capable of at least some righteous seeming deeds, fallen human beings are all fundamentally flawed and unrighteous in the old man of the flesh......ALL have sinned.....all are dead in sins who...

You keep justifying yourself Epi when you need to just face yourself in the mirror. Even a few days ago I saw you rebuking someone for not being in a place you haven't been in for 23 years and that you couldn't take. You even justify yourself for that, saying it was because you misunderstood...

If even under the letter of the Law people could not bear the heavy burden of it........how can we hope to keep the even more stringent spirit of the Law in our own strength? It must be by the Spirit.....in HIS power and strength. "If you walk in the Spirit you will not fulfill the lusts of...

Amen. He is omitting and forgetting so many truths.

And is this toxic brew of bitterness, anger and false accusations the will of the Father, Epi? Unfortunately by this kind of behaviour you are bringing disrepute to the very holiness you purport to talk about. Not to mention rebuking people for things you are doing yourself. May God have...

Oh dear. This is bad fruit isn't it. The fruit of pride, I perceive. They had FAITH in God, and that is what saved them........faith in the same God who would later become flesh and be called by the name of Jesus.... which means God saves. Jesus Himself sure was "dogmatic" about the need to...

I think there is a difference between judgment as condemnation and judgment in the sense of being weighed and examined. Believers, who are in the Lamb's book of life will not be condemned but apparently from scripture there will be some sort of accounting (judgment in that sense) for how we...

"Historical words of God"..........but His word will never pass away....it is full of timeless truths. And you know, the bible says not to go beyond what is written.......and to bring our thoughts CAPTIVE to the obedience of Christ. I think of His written word as being the sheepfold that...

Yes and He generally confirms it through scripture. When we are hearing from Him on important matters, it's a good idea to also seek and wait on Him for confirmation.

No, by Living Word I meant the written word that is alive and active. Jesus is referred to as the Word made flesh. But we can't separate the written word from the author of it.....He said what He meant and meant what He said and it is all true.....and will never pass away. Yes, the Spirit of...

And some try to substitute the Living Word with the Spirit. There is no competition or division between the two, as you yourself have said. Jesus is the Word made flesh, the cornerstone of the foundation. His word is alive and active through the Spirit. Anything we hear from the Spirit, or...

That the Lord speaks and engages with us outside of His written word does not contradict or negate or diminish His written word. And His written word says, "brethren believe not every spirit but try the spirits to see if they be of God". This is BECAUSE we may hear from the Spirit of God...

We are to test all things and test the spirits. Does this line up with God's word? Not that I can see. But feel free to bring the scriptures that teach this. The lake of fire was PREPARED for the devil and his angels to destroy them. If it is IMPOSSIBLE for certain earthly believers to be...

But that is not what the bible teaches. Jesus said to fear God who can DESTROY both body and soul in the fire (gehenna). So that is what the lake of fire is for, destruction. And it agrees with what perish and perdition mean.....destruction. Part of God's eternal purpose was to take OUT OF...

Gaslighting and false accusations are not honest before the Lord. Jesus said NO ONE can come to the Father but by Him. The bible says the UNBELIEVING will be cast into the lake of fire. Where the apostle wrote "especially" of those who believe, it means particularly, in a particular...

Amen. Interfaith ecumenicalism is a way that seemeth right to man but leads to death. We can't go by what "seemeth" and "feeleth" right to us, we need to be guided by the word of God. Otherwise we're like an airplane pilot trying to fly by his own sight instead of the instruments......that...

That verse is not talking about fear of God, it is talking about other fears that are a product of not having a sound mind, and/or are a cause of not having a sound mind. Fear of the Lord is all over the bible, old and new testaments. Anyone can do a word search and consider what is written...
