    You are right only if you are speaking about Behold. And you are right about what you do. And you are continuing in the same vein by falsely accusing me of nothing...just you being in a snit because you hate the truth.

    2 Peter 3:16 “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” FYI...Paul taught the same gospel as Jesus did...and...

    Basically, you are saying that no one is an example of a disciple online? Different versions of the truth? You seem to be promoting different cults...that follow local leaders with NO regard whatsoever to the church elsewhere. No wonder there are thousands of denominations. Is the truth like a...

    You are as inaccurate in quoting me as you are in understanding...or misunderstanding the bible. I preach the gospel...without the human interpretations that champion sin. I said that you treat Jesus as a whipping boy...against the counsel of the bible. So then look to your own twisting of...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    James is speaking about righteousness not holiness. The same kind of confusion existed in his day as now. Beliefs don't do anything. People judge others by their religious opinions. But faith moves God. Faith sees...faith does what is pleasing to God. You are stuck on religious beliefs which do...

    Love of neighbour....unto righteousness. Love for God..unto holiness. Two levels, two standards. Brought together into one in Christ.

    They let you post. :) Why would that be? To challenge those who profess truth.

    Totally agree. But the heresy makers need to be exposed...judging people by accuracy of beliefs rather than by works. Dogmatic Christianity destroys...or seeks to destroy ...a spiritual Christianity. Love unites. Dogma divides. TRUE doctrine (love on two levels) edifies.

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Yes...an indescribable gift of eternal consciousness and knowing who God is. You are jumping here. Paul wanted to win Christ AFTER he was converted. We have to take our deposit back to God to get the full measure. Read about the 10 lepers. Only one went back to Jesus. Is that optional? Why did...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    You may be missing my point. The one who judges is NOT doing as God wants. Like the judgmental garbage collector. It's amazing that people can't see themselves. The one who is thankful and cheerful is doing a MINIMUM standard. Sure believers should be such...but not only believers are such. In...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    OH the irony. Judgment day is going to be terrifying...but interesting. It's like they say....don't be interesting to a doctor! For your religious scheme to work we would have to be judged by our beliefs rather than our works. Can you say an eternal "oops!"

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Imagine a man who collects the garbage in front of your house (or apartment). He works hard at a very odious job. What if he looks down on all the rich people as he drives by...judging them for all the waste...and justifying himself by his hard work. Is that the right thing to do? OR..what if...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    The bible is not meant to judge others by. The law of God was meant for each person to take to heart...or not. The Pharisees broke the law at a greater intensity than even the blatant sinners. How so? They read the law and looked at others...judging them...rather than take the law to heart for...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    In your view the bible was written by heretics. Anybody can grab a verse that he/she thinks justifies him/her, and then judge others based on that extreme position. The bible is not meant for private interpretation. You assume that some verses negate other ones...the ones you like. Jesus would...

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    I disagree. LOL But seriously there is much to come together and go deeper about...as a fraternal network. A house divided cannot stand.

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Quite the opposite. You have made the atonement a license to sin with impunity. Paul warns of making another gospel. That seems to not have sunk into your understanding yet. Christ overcame sin...He didn't ignore it. And we are to overcome sin as He did. How? By His strengthening grace. For...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    This is promoting lawlessness. Sin is sin. Righteous is as righteous does. Don't fall for the delusion. We are to turn away from those who deny the power of grace...which is sufficient to overcome sin as Jesus did.

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Agreed. Unbelief is usually seen as a problem that is limited to unbelievers. Is the Bible written to unbelievers? Can we see ourselves as immune from the delusion of the Israelites who perished in the wilderness? The Bible is written for our instruction. But we have to be willing to question...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Any extreme doctrinal position is dangerous. The other side of that extremist coin is to think that only believers in Christ can be saved. That is another very dangerous doctrine. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world....especially for those who believe (but not exclusively) We are to...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    The Bible has more facets to it than what we are representing so often. The righteous sin. Of course not as blatantly. The unrighteous sin with their will. And the righteous sin against their will. But the righteous are NOT the holy. There are many references in the NT to people who are...
