    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Don't judge me as if I was you. I'm not you and I have nothing in common with you. I'm an unknown quantity with people such as yourself. You refuse to engage in actual bible discussion...and only look for what props up your religious outer man. You have zero interest in either learning anything...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I don't lie...I endure all the false accusations from pretenders such as yourself. After so many years some here should be ready for something beyond the first baby step. But the spoiled ones begin throwing their rattles and rubber duckys at me at ANY suggestion of moving forward in the race...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    False...of course, and everyone knows this. My version is from the bible...AND from experience. Being born again by the Spirit gives a person an eternal consciousness of who God is and the kind of love and peace He gives to those who walk in Him. That initial experience of grace is a sample...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Let no one fool you, no one can partake of Christ without entering into Christ and running in the race of faith. Those who sit on the sidelines and mock those who run to win, are there merely as an audience that makes cat calls and generic peanut gallery comments. No need to take any of these...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    The opposite is true, of course. I counsel people to seek the Lord. I promote the true Christ...and how that we taste of His goodness in order to seek after Him to be filled with the fullness of God. You see that as "works". Why? You only have a religious belief that is fully outside any...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Don't listen to this charlatan....please. It's just self-righteous bloviating that wants to cancel out anything that isn't based on a superficial religious indoctrination. Beware.

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    The whole "born-again" thing is something that many take out of the bible and because they see the word "must" there they name it and claim it and then boast of having something they have no idea of. It reminds me of the whole tongues craze in the 80's. Then there was the inner healing craze in...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Amen. I hope you are seeing how a deposit in our spirits...a sample of grace...is meant to take us to God in order to WIN Christ in our souls. We are to work out our own (soul) salvation with fear and trembling. I think most indoctrinated people HATE the idea of fearing God, seeking God...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Indoctrination is revealed when excuses are given rather than a sound bible exposition. You can insult me, slander me, lie about me....all day long...but you can only spew disinformation about the bible and this Pauline lady you seem infatuated with. I don't think she likes you back, though...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I can easily explain Romans 2....and every other chapter and verse. Why are you so intimidated by Romans 2? Is it because you like to jump ahead and obscure the context of Paul's writings...and then blame it on "Pauline"?

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    You are afraid of anything biblical that you can't twist to your own advantage. So you ignore the truth...and then attack me personally for pointing out your fables. Hey, I'm open here to your explanation of the many many chapters of Paul that seem to go directly against your ideology. Just...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    LOL More religious posturing and dishonesty. It is to be expected. So you are saying that Romans 2 is NOT Paul's doctrine? Do you have some kind of scientific data that Romans 2 was injected there by some wily corrupter of your self-justification? Pretend I'm one of your teaching victims that...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    False. You are willfully ignoring all the many verses I post in order to make up your own religious scheme...proving how dishonest you are in your effort at self-justification. Show a little honesty and explain Romans 2...as Paul (whom you misunderstand by twisting his words and ignoring his...

    Quick-Vid of Forgiveness vs Atonement

    You refuse to learn anything...but are satisfied with a religious carnal grasp of things...unable to grasp the simplest biblical idea. You only condemn yourself by mocking my drawing attention to what the bible really says...and what the Spirit says. You mock God.

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Completely false.You have it exactly backward. It is those who go about thinking they are something they are not...by taking ONE STEP only...being half-baked...without themselves going to God to be fully vetted and allowed into the ways of the kingdom. Those who are rejected are such because of...

    Quick-Vid of Forgiveness vs Atonement

    It is by faith. That's why you don't understand this. Your religious beliefs only have the power to deceive you into thinking you are something you are not. But real faith releases real grace...and brings the disciple to walk with Jesus WHERE He is...in Zion. We are to seek first the kingdom...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Do you know what "abide" means? We are saved INTO the perfection of Christ to walk as He walked. But anyone can post here no matter how little they know of the truth. I answer here in case some REAL seekers are reading this.

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    This is a carnal ego response to a bible verse that you want to ignore to support a false religious posturing. Do you deny that John in 1 John was speaking the truth...just because you have no actual experience of a walk in Christ? or will you continue to attack and slander me for posting...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Only those who enter into Christ and abide there with Him can walk as He walked. Read the bible. 1 John 2:6 He that saith he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

    Quick-Vid of Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Yes, Two levels of justification. The one based on mercy based on righteousness and the second based on mercy AND grace based in holiness. Yes. As holy as God is holy. In Him is no sin. Yes. Winning Christ is about being as pure as Jesus Himself. Not necessarily as mature as Jesus. For that...
