You glory in the sufferings of Jesus on the cross. So did the religious Pharisees. They were happy to see Jesus on the cross. You posted a thread..and then took it down when I shamed you about it. But you love seeing Jesus on the cross. You listen to scenes from "The Passion" luxuriating in...

That's exactly what you preach...that and how to avoid the cross. You have a very wrong view of Jesus always cleaning up after your mess. And you glory in that...rather than be ashamed. My words to you and the great damage you do to the truth...I just hope people right you off as a religious...

Anybody can read a bible passage, parrot it, without understanding the depth of it..then claim a dogmatic justification based on that. The really important verses are always ignored...because there is no faith that goes beyond what is already understood, and what has been previously...

It's that kind of surface carnal interpretation that causes the division...no real power, no real love, no real peace, no unity.

You have far less than either of these. You have no unity, only a self-interested religious system adherence based on preference...and only a pretend righteousness based on your high opinion of your own beliefs. This thread is about believing that there is such a thing as a corporate Body of...

Self-interest aside...what about the larger body coming into oneness as Jesus prayed it would? I know that most are preoccupied with themselves...as they have been conditioned to be. The devil controls us much easier when all we are concerned with is our own aspirations. But who has zeal for...

Thomas was unbelieving until Jesus appeared to him. Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Are we like Thomas who only relied on past experience to judge what is possible and what is impossible? Do we have...

Actually not at all. Delusions attract more people seeking to escape their true condition. It's like a religious drug culture of sorts.

There is a portion of God's wrath on the sons of disobedience among God's people. You have a lot of opinions but you are short on truth. Notice this... Hebrews 3:11 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. “So I...

If we are not in the Spirit as ministers....then we are to be at least LED by the Spirit. And we are to remain humble and teachable. What is interesting is that the qualification for being an overseer is not that one be filled with the Spirit or fully mature...but have a righteous disposition...

What have you attained to??? A religious bent? A talent for bloviating? You have attained nothing but for a religious presumption based on an ideological belief without power.

Going from one extreme to the other just makes us fall off the horse on the other side. Balance is key. I am in neither camp. The camps go like this...Either we can't stop sinning all the time (because actually we are without God's power called grace)...or we don't sin because we are sinless...

I think we have to see our whole time here as training. And no one can replace Christ as Head of the church...so God can work with ministers who are not fully mature..but who are able to remain humble and teachable. An example of this is Peter....who showed favouritism towards the Jewish...

Same place you got that spelling? :tiphat:

Thank you for your testimony. I hope you find your way back onto the narrow path.

Obviously not! ;) Jesus didn't leave His deity behind. He left His glory...in order to increase it. Jesus went from glory to glory....just as we can by entering into His life and no longer walking as a mere human. THAT is our example to follow. LOL.. Your imagination fails you. Jesus ONLY...

I think you are mixing up the Bible with the devil's handbook here. It isn't right to attribute the words of Jesus concerning His kingdom with that of the devil. You are in serious need of instruction.

Job was a righteous man who needed more instruction in righteousness. The curious thing is that he never gets any other power than he already has...but yet encounters God...in an experience of holiness...that informs his righteous disposition. Those who are already bearing fruit are pruned by...

Paul admits he wasn't always perfect when he wrote;... Philippians 3:12-14 Not that I have already attained, or am already (presently) perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Paul does not deny that others are in that state when...

Don't you go trying to take away the righteousness from the righteous too. A lot of that going on around here.. The righteous do sin. Is. 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Eccl. 7:20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is...
