    How to get out of : Romans 7

    It sounds like you are confusing the limitations of the physical flesh with the grace power over all things by the Spirit.

    Post your dreams here

    At least you were spared having to wrestle with a religious ideologue...wait....unless....that's why you came here today??? ;)

    Indonesian Politicians Want to Ban Christian Films

    Maybe its a quality thing? Maybe they ban films because of bad production? There are a lot of very bad religious movies out there. Or could it be censorship...having nothing to do with bad acting?

    Theology is our thinking!! Not the Lord's!!

    What is the bible to you? Is it a collection of theological opinions? Are the writers of the bible religious scholars who gravitate towards one form of doctrine or the other? Are they presenting their doctoral thesis..? Whew! Of course we judge so often from our own limited experience and...

    Theology is our thinking!! Not the Lord's!!

    Your crazy idea about what a wrong theology does...it is rather a study that ignores sound doctrine which is taught by Jesus and His apostles.....while claiming to do so. Rather than calling that a "wrong theology" ....I would call that a lack of instruction....or else a false agenda. It depends...

    Repenting of 'unbelief'

    Amen. There is an epidemic of epic proportions of ignoring Jesus' words. Most people derive their ideology based on a few disconnected verses that are twisted to conform to an already believed religious stance. You really can get the bible to say what you want. What is in very short supply are...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    How can we forgive others? That whole way of seeing shows that you have no idea about what God is looking for. And it reveals a carnal motivation. What about...How can we not forgive people their sins? You want an excuse to have mercy. Because you are basically a judgmental person. The bible...

    Theology is our thinking!! Not the Lord's!!

    Theology ...as the OP states...is in the realm of men. It is based on ideology and religious opinions. I wrote a book that was put under the heading of "theology." But be that as it may, I teach doctrine, not theology. That and testimony. For me faith is about reality, not my beliefs about things.

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    LOL. If you could read with ANY honesty you would see that in each case remission is Aphesis...remission...being made free of sin, made pure. Not forgiveness. This is about an eternal life trumping a temporal one. One law giving us the power to overcome a lower law...so that we walk as Jesus...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    As false as can be. Remission means its power is no longer functioning. Like a cancer in remission. The gospel is freedom (aphesis) from sin...not just forgiveness. Forgiveness is implied if you are now walking above sin. The gospel cited in the OT says freedom, liberty from sin...Is. 61:1...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Atonement is not just about forgiveness. Forgiveness stands on its own. This error of atonement meaning forgiveness is HUGE.....enough to fully overthrow the whole purpose of the gospel. The people of Israel were a covenant people...a holy nation. They needed the blood of animals as a marker for...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    False. Why can you forgive others without any blood being spilled? Are you more merciful than God? Is your god that legalistic and unmerciful. So you are speaking a GREAT falsehood....that prevents you from any kind of deeper truth. It's funny how you ignore the bible at every turn to promote...

    What are the Mansions (Rooms), in the Father's House?

    Hey MG....no problem! I was just showing that Jesus was speaking of the same thing in both John 14 and 15. What I see is that hope gets mixed up with faith. The book of John is not well understood...all those verses about eternal life. When people approach eternal life as something...

    What are the Mansions (Rooms), in the Father's House?

    There is also a time called NOW where we can turn to the living God and enter into Christ. Hope is about the future. Faith is what you do right now.

    What are the Mansions (Rooms), in the Father's House?

    Why do you relegate abiding in Christ to a future age? John 15 (abide in Me and I in you) continues after the John 14 description of being where Jesus is. The "where I am" is an eternal place. There is no time there. Jesus didn't say..."where I will be when I ascend to heaven after My...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    "Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate." Heb. 13:12 (does it say, that He might forgive them with His own blood?)

    As you THINK : So you are

    A totally make believe religious status...based on a vivid imagination. If you think you are a teacher you can start a thread with this kind of foolish ideology.

    How to get out of : Romans 7

    @Behold can only twist the meaning on the gospel...dragging grace through the mud...but he doesn't read the OT because he can't manipulate that. He would rather go to other religious books...and then feel so guilty about it that he has to blame someone else. A real head-case.

    How to get out of : Romans 7

    You use the book of Mormon and then say I did what you just did. The world upside down. Everything you say is as false as can be. You are fully exposed.
