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

    If you are not strictly a letter of the law man, as you seem to be...why do you mock when spiritual things are discussed? Doing that smacks of not knowing anything beyond a human strength experience. I'm not denying that you have some understanding in your inner man. I don't think you see your...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    When people start clucking like chickens and barking like dogs...even someone with your level of discernment will see that something is "off". But don't pat yourself on the back so quickly. Maybe you have not yet discerned the carnal nature of "the outer man love" that you have as your...

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

    Yes. The OT is based on righteousness. But you seem to not have gotten the memo about the available holiness through grace. You are stuck in obeying God in your own strength. This would be fine if that was all that was available to you. The NT is based on true holiness...walking in the...

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

    So then you claim to love as Jesus does? You claim to raise the dead and heal the sick? You claim to walk as Jesus walked? The bible is based on law. But the law can't help us fulfill it. You ca TRY to follow the bible...but the bible points to a life empowered by grace....resurrection life and...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    Your threads are ALL based on your self-righteousness. You are doing a fine job of exposing yourself... That's exactly what you are doing. I find your threads useful at least for that.

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    You are too blind to see that this condemns you...and God said it. You are turning the truth of God into a lie by your false narratives. You are without excuse. So many warnings...so much pride. Those non-whites??? Why can't you see yourself? See you refuse to admit to yourself what you are...

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

    Neither heaven nor hell are ever noted in the bible as eternal destinies. You have been indoctrinated into making a false duality. In the bible it is "Heaven and Earth"...as these are PRESENT locations. Come out of your dead religion and turn to God for His life.

    What is New Testament Faith?

    I think you meant to say Old Testament. But I agree with you. The OT is about instruction in righteousness. The NT is about a testimony meant to inspire us to seek God for holiness.

    What is "Self Righteousness". ?????

    @Behold is clearly showing by example what exemplifies self-righteousness. While we all appreciate this effort...it won't turn out well for anyone taking him seriously.

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    Go to your own threads based on your religious legalism. Fool whoever you can. Stop trolling on my threads. Haven't you exposed yourself enough? or do you want me to come over to your threads to expose you?

    What is New Testament Faith?

    Interesting. How so? Is it the actual faith of the New Testament you see doing this?...or the way that faith is being interpreted today that throws out real faith? Can you see that holiness is being built on righteousness? The NT being built on the OT?

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    Fully false and needless trolling. You do exactly what you accuse me of. Your religion is based on self and selfishness...claiming great things for yourself...but not according to the truth. I preach the resurrected Christ. You watch videos of Jesus on the cross...and glory in His suffering...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    It likewise isn't me correcting you but God by the wisdom of His Spirit. You twist the meaning of words to justify your bigotry. Of course God winked in the past. But you condemn those people in the past. You are more condemning than God is. Simple fact. You are holding the truth in...

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

    Out of the same lump... You are only seeing the half of it. There is life AND death AND blessing AND cursing. (Get out the calculator.) (Deut. 30:15) טו רְאֵה נָתַתִּי לְפָנֶיךָ הַיּוֹם, אֶת-הַחַיִּים וְאֶת-הַטּוֹב, וְאֶת-הַמָּוֶת, וְאֶת-הָרָע. Notice the definite article before each category...

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

    I think a proper balance is the most difficult thing to accommodate. As humans we tend to go from one extreme to the other. Either we condemn basically everyone to hell...or else we see all being saved. But God's ways are more nuanced than that. He has a place for the saints...but also the...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    This is a tactic of the enemy to curtail any actual seeking of God. If someone says "seek God" ...that is seen as works salvation. Why? Because of a lack of faith in God. The God in "us" is seen as trustworthy. But the God that is beyond us is not known and deemed as untrustworthy. So the...

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

    While we can't know everything....we can know all things pertaining to salvation, and God's ways regarding us. No one knows the future besides what is prophesied in the bible. But we can know the sign of the times and situate ourselves properly in the world..with the help of the Holy Spirit...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    This is a typical response from a bigot. Bigots see nothing good in any attempt at good even misguided. But God sees the heart. You simply have no wisdom in your view. You are religiously toxic. What God "winked at" you condemn as demonic. So petty and easy for the self-righteous to do.

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    People have been fearing God (or gods) since the time of creation. The ancients Greeks would sacrifice animals...or even people... in order to appease the gods. They would consult the oracle at Delphi...the way people seek God for direction. Those who did that were seen as God-fearing. Even...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    You know nothing of righteousness beyond what your religious indoctrination forces you to believe. Do an HONEST study of righteousness...and don't allow one or two verses that defend holiness against the lower form of righteousness make you throw out the baby with the bath water. And you...
