    Holliness Theology Vs. The Historical Gospel of Jesus Christ

    I think what most people react against is the holiness" movement" whereby people try to look holy to be accepted by other people. What is also hated..but not really responded to is ACTUAL HOLINESS in those who walk in the higher spiritual kingdom walk. People also hate that but will instead...

    Holliness Theology Vs. The Historical Gospel of Jesus Christ

    This goes directly against the idea that a person has to be born of the Spirit...within a heart... in order to be able to enter and/or see the kingdom of God. This is totally false...UNLESS...you mean that we have to go to God to enter INTO Christ for salvation from the power of sin and not...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Money, happiness, ego...and the end...eternal life. That's your false gospel.

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    What is cross-denying is the fantastically puffed up religious egos here. Rich, Western, spoiled, acting as if God gives grace to the proud...from humility to hubris. This is all so basic...so incredibly easy to see...if you have eyes to see. Hearing yet shall not hear. Seeing yet shall not...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    You are fully deceived. Christ in you is NOT the foundation. Christ is the foundation. Your foundation is YOU. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. You are not mentioned here. You think that saying that Jesus Christ is the foundation...

    Keep ignoring the bible. Keep twisting doctrines to justify yourself. See how that works out. :rolleyes:

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Remain as you are. Claim that dew is the same as rain. Miss the scale of the salvation that is IN Christ. Your way of seeing things is way too common. It's just sad.

    Oh, the irony. I marvel how God keeps His ways beyond carnal understanding.

    Esteeming yourself higher than you should

    The same thing applies for John 14 as for Romans 7. In the case of John 14, abiding in Christ to be where He is is seen as after one dies and "goes to heaven." The saint realizes that we need to go and walk where Jesus is....by translation (harpazo) into the heavenly realm of the...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Very sad. I hope that no one who claims to be a believer in Christ is taking sides in this. It is human nature at work destroying countless lives. And both sides claim to be Christian. Yet see how the power of the flesh dominates everything. Even among those who take sides. Even among those who...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    So when Paul says that we Gentiles being grafted into the Vine Israel...we are NOT like the original Israelites that were cut off? We are safe by being "born-again" into the race of faith? Contrary to your teaching we have the bible. Rom. 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Or so it seems. Death is a termination of a kind of life...not just a bare survival or ALMOST dead. This reminds me of the Princess Bride movie where the protagonist isn't dead just mostly dead...or nearly dead. He revives and continues as before. Always learning but never coming to the...

    Moving beyond Romans 6 into the higher calling of Christ.

    Amen. God is trying to win us over into a deep spiritual intimacy. But most just want to justify themselves for believing that Jesus came to do good. What good? They don't know. Salvation is what their self-interest tells them...even begs them to have. They just trust that by affirming Christ...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Why do you not see that worshiping the "Christ in you" can so easily become self-worship? Is it Christ or is it the Christ in YOU that you care so much about? I don't think you care about the things of Christ for even a second. You are only interested in what benefits the YOU. Who is able to NOT...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    I hope that is so. But why do you judge others outside the Body? Where do you get that kind of motivation? You have to look at what the grace is doing to you in your own self-esteem. The ones who say..Lord, Lord...did many mighty works in Jesus name...but they forgot humility. They were not...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Is the truth what upholds you in your present condition, or what takes away from your confidence in your own self-esteem?

    Three Christian Gospels Today

    Trusting that Jesus will receive you just like the Pharisees trusted that Moses would receive them. What part of you is trusting? Isn't that the part that needs to be crucified with Christ? The part of you that wants to be saved.... He who wishes to save his life will lose it. We have to...

    Esteeming yourself higher than you should

    The flesh will always be at odds with the Spirit. Are we truly aware how the fleshly mind trips us up? So much modern teaching SOUNDS like the truth....whereas it is just building up the wrong part of us...the part of us that is meant to be broken. Of particular interest is the idea that God...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Why? The deadness of the letter rather than the life of the Spirit.
