    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    While you seek to derail my threads away from the truth...you misrepresent everything I say. I am happy to discuss adult subjects with adults. The ramblings and obfucations come from a carnal class of people here that in times past would not have been permitted into the gathering of believers...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    The key to understanding the parables is laid out in the 4 different kinds of soil. Those who get nothing out of the parables do so because they don't understand the importance of parables in general...the the parable of the Sower specifically. Matt. 13:19 When any one hears the word of the...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    I have so many on ignore here...but Nancy's post got me a little curious about the carnal reactions I might be getting for posting deeper truth. E said... He spends almost 30 minutes on the key, without even mentioning what the key is, or anything about it. I identify the key right away. The...

    What makes a doctrine false?

    This is an important question and consideration. On a forum like this, we discus things that for most people has only to do with theories, beliefs and religious leanings. We can speak out our "truth" ..or what we think is truth...in a way that doesn't engage ourselves fully as humans. In real...

    The Key to all the Parables of Jesus

    The good soil is found with those who not just hear the gospel but also understand it. To do that requires an immunity from the various religious vaccinations that impede such understanding. This requires an openness to the truth in a time where sound doctrine is no longer tolerated. It requires...

    It is a bad idea but I think about it anyway

    Whatever you do, do it devotionally to God. Do it from the heart...not just the mind. Pray hard...seek hard...cry out to God for direction. He is there. There is no point in making a major decision without a clear conviction about God's will on the matter. You have to ask yourself..am I...

    Nothing much left to say

    The fact is everybody believes in something. The benefit of believing the bible is that it is based on truth. It testifies to something that is eternal...unchanging. Without that point of reference there is simply chaos. So then the religion of Judaism or Christianity is a necessary "evil"...

    Entire Sanctification = "In Christ"

    No. Take Him off the cross. Salvation is Jesus resurrected from the dead. Echange your dead religion for one of resurrection life.

    What makes a doctrine false?

    Whose efficacy and to what end? What I see you saying is "Anything that takes away from the saving efficacy of Jesus to save ME is a false doctrine. That would be your baseline to judge EVERYTHING by. (So many here do that very thing). So then if Jesus tells you...you are "poor, naked, wretched...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    You take all the "fun" out of "fundamentalism." Go start an ego thread to tell us how pure you are.

    OK. That might count as 2 points there...You are in the lead at this "point".... :rolleyes: :oops:

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    At least I made Laurina laugh. The rest of you religious ones need to lighten up and not take yourselves so seriously. That kind of smug attitude is bad for the faith of the inner man. It is truly disgusting.

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    You are part of the disease. Pontificating and sanctimonious ravings are sickening. Why not start a thread about..say...how often you point to Christ in one day...or something like that. Start a competition to see who can do the most pointing. Maybe one point for every point???

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    I don't believe that is accurate. No one grows into Christ. It's impossible. It is a human charade...like the Catholic version...Purgatory. People will go to any lengths to NOT seek the face of God to walk IN Christ. The reason???? People only want the free stuff. They will not sell all to...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Don't be discouraged. The outer man is basically Cain...and he is always trying to kill Abel. Allow your own outer man to be attenuated...but have courage in the inner man...and turn to God with that in mind. No need to see the terrible condition of those who have been brainwashed into limiting...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    These translations ...all translations...tend to be limited to the interpretation of the translators. If you want to trust that you understand what is being said...fine. Enjoy the interpretation. But there is some errors therein. 1. "Has perfected forever" is not supported elsewhere...where...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    This is where people deviate from the truth. And also why so few experience resurrection life. No longer having sin as a lifestyle is a good step forward. Our "Old Man" is "crucified" so that the same things that used to please us have changed. But this is not due to us now being holy. We will...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    Where does it say we will have a honeymoon? The wilderness walk is not easy This is an exercise in our own faith. Not more like Jesus so much...Jesus is selfless. Most believers will never get beyond what is beneficial to themselves. As we get older we mellow out.
