Having to disconnect one's brain in order to accept religious formulas makes it difficult if not impossible to love God with all one's mind (as well as ones heart). God's ways stand up to intelligent inquiry. Human religions do not.

Your disobedience speaks of the source of your convictions....yourself. A witness of Christ knows the power that gives obedience. Someone who relies on religious formulas does not know that power...hence your twisting things and making up down and down up.

Disobedience is a false gospel. That is called self-justification.

Well, modern Christianity can look like paganism...with a powerless religion of an afterlife....that has no power other than to promise life (not now of course) for having certain beliefs...like the Nordic Valhalla. The ancients had no power over sin. But the gospel gives us power that no one...

It's only a simulation in comparison to eternal reality. This is a training ground where sins are forgivable as we learn to walk uprightly and move into God by faith. Being born again is being born into eternal reality...the kingdom of God. Before that we have no idea that we live in a...

I think you have misunderstood the idea of there being a simulation of reality in the temporal world. The only reality that goes on is the eternal reality. Which reality? Which god?

Israel is both a nation and a congregation of Gentiles, at least it says so in Genesis. 10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be...

Blessed is the man on whom the Lord does not impute iniquity. Iniquity is transgressing against the Lord and His ways. The warning against iniquity is for believers

Iniquity is about mixing what is holy with what is profane. In Hebrew this is "Avon". We are not forgiven iniquity unless we repent of it. Iniquity is willful sin...pride...religious pride. Jesus said that the Pharisees claimed to "see" therefore their sin (iniquity) remained. We see the...

We see the law concerning marriage reflected in the statement by Paul (Rom. 7) that a woman can't be married to another man while her husband yet lives. 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from...

Are you saying that a dog cannot return to its vomit? I think you are missing the point of all the writings in the bible. We have free agency as long as we live in these mortal bodies. There is a judgment coming based on what we did with what we have been given. Being smug at this time will...

You are not understanding the biblical narrative. Being reconciled to God is not just about salvation...its about an intimate relationship with God. if you think you can have that kind of relationship with God without holiness, obedience, devotion and a full surrender of the carnal...

My English is not just good....it's good enough. ;) My speech not so much! I think my approach in correction the errors of the reformation might be a tad too subtle for some here. :) It might help to actually watch the podcast.

Watch the video...you are missing the whole point of it. This is not about those kind of aliens. You should maybe inform yourself as to the doctrines of Luther...and the reformation.

Righteousness is an attitude. Without an attitude that is willing to repent we are merely lawless and rebellious. The righteous are also humble. God resists the proud. Pride comes from self. So it seems that self can get in the way of God's approval and receiving grace. He gives grace to the...

We can be saved from sin right now by entering into Christ to put on His perfection...in truth, power and reality...not in a religious dogmatic scheme that has no power over the flesh. The race must be run to the end to INHERIT life...into eternity. Read what God says about justification in...

I pray that you will one day understand the God of mercy.
