    Glad you like it. I grew up on Weather Report and then Zawinul. Love the world beat jazz sound! :)

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    You trust in what Jesus did on the cross for ALL men...and you claim it for yourself by a human religious belief that has no connection to God whatsoever. No wonder Jesus says ...I don't know you ....to all the religious hucksters out there. Better to be honest and humble than do what you do...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    The lies flow from you so easily. :oops: You mean the Jesus of the hypocrites. The real Jesus is reached through the experience of the cross. To be crucified with Him to be raised into life IN Him. Your superficial gospel is easy-peasy. Just take Him as YOUR Lamb that YOU sacrifice..then point...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    We have to ask ourselves who is being served? When we walk in intimacy with God, it this for temporal benefit. Most ministries are smoke and mirrors...from a dogmatic religious posturing. That's why there are SO MANY fake believers. But we are to follow Christ not men. So then the miracles...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Knowing how to spell "faith" and having a concordance helps dogmatic religious types. But that doesn't mean there is even an ounce of comprehension. Faith moves mountains. Faith moves God. An experience of that will cause your religious ideology to go to the cross with all your religious...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    You are conflating religious dogmatic ideology with faith. You flatter yourself that you know what faith is.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    These are foolish words. The righteous are doers of the word not hearers only. Jesus says to DO what He says....build on the rock. Your twisting of the words of God makes this a lie. You prefer..the righteous don't DO the word...they just hear it...that's enough....any effort to obey is wrong...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Paul's preaching of the cross has to do with being crucified with Christ...being dead in Him (for real) and walking in resurrection life...walking in the same power over sin that Jesus walked in. Your idea of the cross is that Jesus died for you so you don't have to give up your life. You can...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Sure...ok Matt. 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24...

    Jacob God loved, Esau God Hated

    Jacob represents the inner man of faith. Esau represents the outer man...big brother...the part of us we rely on in this world. Esau represents the part of us that is meant to be crucified, the temporal carnal part of us. God's covenant is with Jacob, not Esau. For more on the inner man/outer...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    It is modern believers who are offended by the cross. They want their own lives AND eternal life. You have only a superficial name it claim it religion that has no power.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    A dogmatic religion gives us something we MUST believe about God....get His name right...line up certain religious beliefs...as if God was so capricious that unless we had our beliefs right or say His name correctly, we incur His wrath. This is on the level of superstition....not faith. As if...

    Dogmatic Christianity

    I see you have a way with (a) word. :oops:

    Dogmatic Christianity

    As a person sees so is he... Your statement sounds more like a confession than an accusation.

    Dogmatic Christianity

    I am someone who takes the words of God very seriously.....looking beyond the modern twist...looking for the Lord's instruction...looking for the mind of Christ. When that investigation doesn't line up with what is religiously acceptable...I marvel at how God hides away the truth from the...

    Dogmatic Christianity

    What I find many are good at is resisting the truth by changing the meaning of the words in the bible when it suits them.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    and you see how the Pharisees took the exact same position that you are espousing? You don't believe that any are good. The bible remember (No, not one)? Why do you alter your beliefs to defend one point and then change them as desired for another? What is your agenda? What do you think about...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Seriously misguided. Holiness doesn't kid around. You are defending what is offensive to God and harmful to God's people...all in the name of a snow-flake political religious correctness. I don't value your opinion.

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    This is as false as can be. You are twisting the plain meaning of verses to suit your indoctrination. Reading skills aside, it doesn't say...and choose guests from AMONG the bad and good. No, it is the bad and good that are the guests at the wedding feast. The bad and good are the righteous...

    What is New Testament Holiness?

    Matthew 22:10 “So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.”
