    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    Religious twaddle and unbiblical. As tiresome as it is to try relating something true to indoctrinated people...here goes. :rolleyes: “There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    LOL. I never said that the OT standard of faith was obsolete. Most bible readers don't seem to be able to understand how to compare things. On Sesame Street...there was a song called. "One of these things is not like the other". Then came the difficult process of finding something that was...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    You have missed Jesus teaching. He asked us to pick one. You have a bible ... read it. Oh my...more religiosity. :rolleyes: That's obvious...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    Yes. The Jews understood righteousness. It was what they weren't understanding that got in the way. Christendom has thrown out thousands of years of understanding in righteousness to do what? Stray even further from righteousness? Fortunately, the righteous just ignore the foolishness. The...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    There are more signs of spiritual life than you mentioned. That's the problem with man-made religion based on carnal reasoning. The charismatics make "tongues" the bona-fide sign for baptism in the Spirit....because they read about it in the bible. So they get people to fake (an easy fake)...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    How religious...and typical is this response. I'm talking about obeying Christ. Do you know what following Christ is even about? Is it lip service to you? LOL. The opposite is true. The very attitude of a Pharisee. You didn't mention the "good" Samaritan. How deceived was Jesus to use a...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    If no one is righteous...not not one...then it stands to reason that people who are that weak shouldn't be then claiming to be as righteous as God is. Don't you see the discrepancy here? As in...you can ONLY be righteous if you claim to be as righteous as God. That is what many here are...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    If there is a real spiritual life going on...gifts of the Spirit will emerge. They will follow, like signs, those who are spiritual in Christ. Of course these can be faked. The sign of our times is the lack of spiritual life. And a lack of the faith OF Christ. The modern gospel is about...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    Part of my purpose here is to diagnose what is happening to modern Christendom...by way of understanding the false doctrines and what fuels the religious attitudes we see posing as "the righteousness of God" .....of all things. Even the Pharisees only thought they were just plain old righteous...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    It's called "dispensationalism" . And C also is a cessationist....and no doubt in need of an intervention. :rolleyes:

    What is New Testament Faith?

    You are proving that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Most people's idea of a relationship with God is a relationship with a book...the bible. That's as far as it goes for most people. And people will be dishonest in order to perpetuate the indoctrination they have received that...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    The narrow way in Christ doesn't mean being narrow minded. You are missing the bigger picture...and are remaining blind to your true condition before God. God allows for different colours of skin, ethnicities and even religions. This world is a testing ground for eternity. Just as judging...

    What is New Testament Faith?

    This is false. The OT was the bible of the early Christians. When they received the testimony of the apostles...it did them good. They understood it in the context of righteousness. But today the bible is misunderstood. It has been subverted by man-made doctrines so that a sound doctrine is not...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    Gandhi said...I love your Christ...but not your Christians. He could see through all the religious posturing and false righteousness. He was right about that, of course. Gandhi was far more honest and sincere than most modern believers. But that's what you get with free samples of grace. Not...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    Many Christians reject the message of Christ even as they"point" at Him. Gandhi did the very opposite. He believed Jesus and His words rang true to him...so he followed the teachings of Christ. What he didn't do was claim to be righteous because of it. He claimed no religious benefit to obeying...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    This is false. You have no understanding beyond your indoctrination..which has nothing to do with the biblical narrative. The true gospel of Christ is about the power to walk as Jesus walked. It's called "grace". And it is attained through "faith". These are foreign concepts to you. But there...

    Leaving Room for Faith - why we don't know EVERYTHING

    Seeing we are on a good thread...about leaving room for faith... Does your faith in God extend as far as believing that we can walk as Jesus walked without sin?

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    I thought is was your salvation you were interested in. You have to believe in the scheme for it to work. Just like you have to believe in the rapture to be raptured, right? But somehow gravity doesn't just go away by believing one is a bird. :rolleyes: This is wrong....although it works to...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    You mean misrepresenting me, I think. So goes the indoctrination. What begineth is your claims to self-righteousness. Of course all have sinned. You use that statement to make a righteousness of your own based on making Jesus your sacrifice. Then you say that unless others also put their...
