    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    This is false, of course. People in the OT were saved by obedience to God's law, the fear of the Lord, and doing what is right. Peter states this. But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him. Acts 10:35 This simple statement from Peter fully exposes...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Should you slander those who look beyond your indoctrination? Does you ideology demand this?

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    That's exactly what I say to you. What you mean is that my doctrine is spiritual and non-religious. I don't believe that having certain beliefs means you can justify yourself. When you change the meaning of words, and deny the bible, you get a backward way of seeing things. :oops:

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    The religious scheme that is accepted by many is that since God concluded all under sin, and sent His Son to save the world...people will take this to mean that God is unable to empower people to actually fulfill the law...so instead He says..."Look we are ALL powerless to stop sinning, I am at...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    What God did? What about what God is doing? Your theories about God and the past does not give you grace. They are just historical theories. Those who walk (now) in the Spirit overcome the flesh. You are just a religious theorist that has yet to know any of God's ways. What Jesus DID was for...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Sadly you think you are justified in your sins. You deny the power of the cross and the power of grace. You are a slave of sin and yet declare yourself as being as righteous as God. You justify your religious beliefs in a scheme that would make even the Pharisees blush. Followers of Luther are...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    God doesn't change. The whole bible speaks about how God sees righteousness. Read the bible. None are perfect, all have sinned....even the righteous. God's righteousness is revealed in Christ....and through Christ. That doesn't negate our own obedience to the law...it surpasses it. Through...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Not that many will understand this. But when God's ways are reduced to ONE standard only....that being the holy standard...and making that the only righteous standard, what happens is mercy is thrown away...much is assumed and presumed, and many are condemned who Christ died for and will have...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    There is this book called the bible.....(google it) .....that some, including myself, believe is divinely inspired. This book is to be taken much more seriously than any religious scheme that men come up with. Perhaps you didn't get the memo on this. You have formed religious opinions that fly...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    You are obfuscating and calling Luke a liar. And you are as dishonest as they come. Why don't you paste more verses in order to deny the other half that you don't understand in order to then twist, obscure, ignore... It's like I'm interviewing someone who knows he's committing a crime. You have...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    So then, instead of addressing the bible..you are calling Luke a liar? Just how much ignoring the bible do you think you can get away with without being a heretic? So what do we do with Luke's account concerning Zacharias and Elizabeth? Do we trust in your mighty intellect or God's word? What...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Judging by what standard? Look at this verse concerning Zacharias and Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. Using your formidable religious intellect...explain how these didn't keep the law????...using the...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Actually that is out of line with what you are saying...and in line with I am saying. You write about fear but without the fear. You are merely adopting a new lip-service because you read about it. So shallow. Trying to make your position seem biblical. Shameful. Why don't you realize that God...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    LOL. I post so many verses...that indoctrinated ideologues NEVER consider or study. So much dishonesty. Even when I am explaining things, I use the Bible (without verse numbers) so that self-described bible readers can't discern where that comes from. They say it comes from me since they don't...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Your scheme, although taught by many decoy churches...is amiss. Jesus dealt with the sins of the whole world. By claiming to believe you are included or have an exclusive claim (like some here) to that sacrifice doesn't give you any merit with God...it is a selfish motivation. What saves you is...

    The nations will walk in the countenance (Light) of God

    Abel was a man who recognized God's sovereignty over all things, including his own life. He made sacrifice to God, and God received it. That's the key. God has to accept our surrender and take us further down the road, so to speak. He judges the heart. If we are truly humble and broken, He hears...

    The nations will walk in the countenance (Light) of God

    Since we will be judged by our works and not our religious or spiritual understanding...the upright will be saved because Jesus died for them. They will be limited to being in the nations UNLESS they move into the redemption of the soul through the Spirit. And then again many who are thus...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Like so many who profess Christ today...instead seeing Him only as a future get-out-of-hell card. OK, maybe a Genie too.... to get what you want in this life.

    Three Christian Gospels Today

    Your perfection gospel is the one that is closest to the truth. However, we will all fail that gospel...going in and out of the Spirit until we are ready to fully surrender to the Lord and His ways. When we are ready, the power of the cross crucifies (renders ineffective) the sin factory that...

    Three Christian Gospels Today

    Is this the power over God to not see our sins??? ...to blind Him? Or is it the power to overcome sin to walk as Jesus walked...by grace?
