That's because she has more heart than you do. Your outer man wants to condemn the wisdom found in her inner man...the same way you stifle yourself from true faith in Christ. You would destroy her to preserve your own religious life.

Once people have fallen for the modern religious salvation scheme....a great fear keeps them in line...a fear that if they give up their attachment to Christ in the outer man...then they will be forsaking their salvation. And this is where "there is a way that seems right unto a man/woman...but...

We better do so. This is petty and accusatory. It is unreasonable and typical of religiously "converted" people who think the worst of any that disagree with them. Basically the Adamic nature at work...masquerading as something greater. Can you be honest about yourself? Without risking your...

Physically, the Law of Moses is obsolete. But not so spiritually. Without the law taking on a greater significance, why would Jesus have to offer Himself? A life for a life is a crucial way to understand how we are transformed into new life. In Hebrew the Deuteronomy version actually says "A...

If a cup is already filled...there is no room to pour anything into it. We empty ourselves to leave room to be filled with His Spirit. So then TO US, the cost is to lose everything. TO GOD it is a gift He is giving to us. We are merely making room for His gift. But because we are SO...

Go and buy.... We cannot buy the oil for our lamps with money. We pay with our lives. The law is "a life for a life"...is it not? We give our lives in exchange for His life. Jesus gave His life for us all. We partake of His life as we go to Him in a full surrender...an offering to Him of all...

1. Christianity is not a religion. Carnal religious men have made it so. 2. The faith of Christ is so far beyond human values, rules and efforts...that all religion (including dogmatic Christianity) are as nothing to it. We are called higher than that in Christ. We are NOT called to compare one...

Being filled with the Spirit...cost us a full surrender of ourselves as a "living sacrifice". Unless the sacrifice is "all" we have and are...nothing happens. But when the full measure of OUR surrender is offered to God...He responds with HIS full measure of grace (a full measure of oil for our...

Absolutely. We are to increase in humility at the same time as we grow in knowledge and understanding. Otherwise we are outgrowing our grip on wisdom. We are to "shoresh lematah ve-asah pheri le-ma-elah"! (Take root downward and bear fruit upwards)

The kingdom of God is the eternal realm of the Spirit that permeates this world...invisibly. It is on a higher plane that we have been given access to in Christ. It is a place of peace and rest....and a tree of life..and we get there IN Christ. He is like a vehicle that takes us beyond the...

They didn't realize deeply enough that the lamp was supposed to give light. They thought HAVING the lamp was all that was required to be "saved." It is true that to have a lamp means we are not gong to be judged with the world. But it is still a terrible thing to be judged unworthy by God.

The wise virgins went back to God to BUY the oil that cost everything...the full measure of grace. each time the oil leaks out of our lamps...we are responsible to go back and get it filled. Each time is like receiving a new talent to make eternal fruit with.

Sure. 1. We are not to compare our walk with that of another...even WITHIN the faith. [22] Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. Here we see that we are not to use our own reasoning or try making blankets rules about the servant of...

Only those who are born of the Spirit are called into that walk....since they are now spiritually aware (IF they have been truly born of the Spirit) and have been PARTIALLY equipped to do so. I say partially, because we need to go to God for the full measure of grace to walk as Jesus walked...

Here we see Jesus establishing a higher order...a kingdom order, based on spiritual life. Outside that order people can still obey the commandments as always...like loving our neighbour...even our enemies. What can't be done outside the holiness of the kingdom order is to love, to walk, to live...

Some religious Jews believe that even the worst Jew is better than the best Gentile. You, and others here, are following that same self-righteous religious pattern, seemingly fully unaware that God is not a respecter of persons. ....and that we will not be judged according to the accuracy of...

If God was as religious as we are...then there would be truth to what you say. :) There is a certain parable ...of the two sons....one said he would and didn't and the other said he wouldn't but did. So which one did the will of the Father? Modern religion doesn't seek to OBEY...

Self-righteousness occurs when one considers himself/herself to be righteous based on either their works or their religious beliefs.

You should ask yourself...W.W.O.D. (What would Oprah do?)
