    Amen...and hi! Yes the works of God are beyond our own capacity. This is where an proper understanding of "scale"...or "depth" we are experiencing God at, is vital to NOT be led astray. There is a wilderness walk in our own faith...whereby we are tested to see if we are ready to take on the...

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    What is obvious is that you know nothing whatsoever of God...instead behaving like the Pharisees who condemned Jesus for saying that a "Samaritan" or else a "Publican" could be justified whereas the religious bigots were not. You are in for a big surprise. The gospel is not just about saving...

    God's will never fails. It's our assumptions and presumptions that fail. God will have mercy on WHOMEVER He wills. That is what the religious types hate about God.

    Whose law? Not God's law. Your imaginative restructuring of the gospel comes from Luther. God can see all things. You are the blind one. That fresh snow covering up a dunghill of sins....well that is just a clever ploy invented by a frustrated monk. God is merciful. He is not a lawyer. He knows...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    Emphasis on "if possible". A lot of flesh is in a lot of rebellion against the truth based on self-interest and other more nefarious considerations.

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    If you listen to Enoch you will stumble into the same ditch he lives in. He is not speaking the truth. "The earliest extant versions of the New Testament Peshitta date to the 5th century ce and exclude the Second Letter of Peter, the Second and Third Letters of John, the Letter of Jude, and the...

    More empty accusations designed to "cover-up" your errors. If all your sins are covered up, how come we can still see them? Is that why you post the drivel that you do? You believe its already all forgiven?

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    You believe that you are now alive because the penalty of sin has been removed? You are now alive to sin away without any thought that the wages of sin is death? Were you already that deceived with this or is this a progressive thing like your sanctification theory??

    This is New Age spirituality fluff you are trying to put across here. The make-believe portion of your beliefs. There is no such distinction. You have no support whatsoever apart from your imagination. That is both a literal and spiritual truth for you. This is only a half-truth. No one can...

    No Jim. Being born again is by the will of the Father. No one comes to Christ unless the Father draws him. This is not necessarily concerning being born again. That is a very presumptuous claim to think that only the born again choose to follow Christ...or obey His teachings. You are only...

    Not many here will see this error of yours...but Jesus doesn't take away the wages of sin in order to grant eternal life to people. Aircraft do not cancel gravity. They overcome gravity by the law of flight. When you enter INTO an aircraft you partake of the law of flight so that gravity...

    I realize there must be liars always present...but why are you so eager to volunteer? You don't understand spiritual things...so you are as misguided in judging me as the Pharisees were in judging the early disciples. There is very little of what is spiritual in Christ on the forum. I am...

    That's just an ego religionist saying..."look at me"...("I know how to continuously say things to puff up my outer man!") But there is no love there...no truth...just an empty religious parroting of slogans that take the Lord's name in vain.

    Heart Talks on Holiness

    One does not even have to be a spiritual person to discern religious bigotry. YOU indeed need to have faith in Christ...and stop just pointing Him out. You are in fact pointing in the wrong direction...since you don't know Christ...only a religious representation of Him. You are constantly...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    A righteous person doesn't cause divisions. We can only operate at the level of a humble selfless discernment. Its the conflict of interest that is telling. 1. We are to judge righteously (all of us) those who bring in obvious divisions...so that any person on the street would think the person...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    OK. Then you are to follow Christ on the level of your calling. The danger for you is to judge others whom God has called higher. There is condemnation for those who call the truth a lie...goodness as evil...light as darkness. If you can avoid that, you will be fine. God expects nothing more...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    You are missing the point here. God punishes mankind for not receiving His word at the lowest possible resolution...that of righteousness. The fact that the same words can speak on more than one level means that God is inviting us to come up higher into fellowship with Himself. Here is an...

    The opposite is true...and you reveal yourself as someone who is looking for approval from men. The truth stands whether people receive it or not. You are a false prophet that has no discernment at all. Having NOT experienced the deeper walk or anything eternal...makes you unqualified to judge...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    Thank you for your warm welcome! You don't see that much around here. What I see is that one verse can mean more than one thing. The bible is written on more than one level. Hence the tendency to get mixed results when trying to "pin it down". The bible is not a book of religion or philosophy...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    How did the early church choose the bible canon for the New Testament? Did the bible fall out of the sky.? Did the bible birth the church...or did the church birth the bible? The latter is true, of course. So how did they choose what is scripture and what isn't? I believe it is by the...
