The imagination is very active with these. But pretending has no effect on reality. Not even if it is religious in nature. :rolleyes:

I don't see any mention of hell in anything concerning being born again or not. I think the hell comes from the religious minds who interpret the bible falsely. ....and to their own advantage. If someone says....unless you put on your glasses...you cannot read the paper. Does that mean that if...

You see...and your cohorts... that God is a teddy bear to you and a tormentor to all who are not like you. What if you had it exactly backwards? What if God hated hypocrisy, judgmentalism, smug self-assurance, and the religious ego MORE than what you look down on others for? What if God gave...

I think you are on the right path! :) Bless you sister!

This is indeed important. A person will be deceived very easily unless he/she has the same depth of experience as the people that we read about in the bible. So many see the living God as dead...unreachable...as if God only lives inside the bible. A dead religion seeks to replace the life of the...

The error I expose in the modern version of the gospel...is due to a superficial understanding of spiritual things (or a non-existent understanding) and how the narrative is wrested from its intent to serve a religious man-inspired agenda. Of course what I teach will sound bizarre at times when...

What I deny is the excessive religiosity, self-righteous claims, and hypocritical judgments that takes good sounding verses for the ego....and denies the truth of the warnings and instructions found in the passages that don't say "saved" or "born-again. The very superficiality of the modern...

This is a protestant error. An invention by self-interpreters. You will find no such doctrine in the bible. The obsession with the word "saved" is part of the indoctrination...to be repeated over and over and put into every sentence. The more one says "saved" the more one is saved...obviously...

Why is anything that doesn't say "born again" or "saved" just an odd scripture? If it doesn't support your religious indoctrination it's not important? How wise is to throw away God's instructions and warnings? The lake of fire burns forever. The second death destroys the living soul.

Yes it is. Yes...but to a totally different end. Yes. This is in your imagination. You can't back that up with scripture. One must be born again...as a mantra? For what? Do you have any idea what being born again is and for what purpose? For you it seems...it's just a...must.

This is a strawman...or it is based on a lack of reading skills. No one is saying that the foundation isn't Christ. The bible describes how we are to build on that foundation. You are confusing a future judgment and what we are to do now to be assured of a better outcome on that day. This is...

Paul indeed had his own wood, hay and stubble, burned up through a baptism of fire....that took away all the value he put on worldly things...even (temporally) honourable things...all that he might gain the higher walk that is found by abiding in Christ. From that walk he then was able to...

They do...and all the vitriol I get for exhorting people to go to God for the full measure of grace reveals what's really going on with people. This is very basic. What is being revealed is what indoctrination and religiosity does when the outer man gets puffed up with false assurances...

The truth always provokes the religious to respond according to their nature. Let's call that...fleshy. I've seen it over and over. The strategy is...the truth shall set you free. Unless, of course, you hate the truth.

We see the parable of the 10 lepers being played out before our very eyes. In the parable only one out of ten of the healed lepers went back to the feet of Jesus. Jesus asks...where are the other nine??? Well, lets look at the other nine. The first one, lets call him Mark, says... Were we...

The opposite is true. There is no overcoming in this life if there is no current reality of being an overcomer. Why would Jesus exhort people to overcome as He did...if we only overcome sin by a physical death? did Jesus overcome while He lived or after He died? John says that all who abide IN...

They hate the truth. I don't take it personally. :)

As He is so are we in this world....when we abide in Him to remain there by His keeping power. Amen! In Him is no sin. Amen. A distinction between righteousness and holiness. And righteousness is on 2 levels...according to our ability to conform to God's law. Yes

Only as we abide IN Christ. We ALWAYS triumph IN Christ. In Him is NO sin!

A great thread and thank you...O seeker! :) <>< Peace
