Ya....that's boring. Get to heaven? I answered that as you asked. You think heaven only exists in the future? That being holy as God is holy is not yet possible even through resurrection power? Do you realize that the next age is on a new earth? How far are you along on your bible reading? Did...

Only those who are given the Spirit will seek the Lord to walk in the heavenly walk. Walking in the Spirit requires a spiritual awakening, quickening and empowering. The throne of grace is there for all who lack the power to walk as Jesus walked.

The bible doesn't have to be that big...a booklet would do....even just a few paragraphs! Accept Jesus or suffer forever in the flames of hell. Simple enough. Why don't more people just realize that all Jesus wants is for you to accept His sacrifice. Claim it and its yours. What good news...

But you don't mind bumping up trouble...to justify yourself without seeming to dirty your hands. As if God doesn't see you.

Many will come to read the threads..and hopefully see how the truth is laid out...and how it is denied for religious considerations.

It's not complicated but you are missing the depth of it. There are 2 levels to it. One is for ALL people. Jesus died for the sins of all people. But only God Himself decides who that will be on judgment day. So that's about INHERITING life. The deeper level..the Christian level is....The...

Sure. But those are secondary issues. The real issue is to miss the gospel entirely by diverting it from its divine foundation...in order to justify sin in the flesh. All of these various carnal interpretations share that one vast error together. It's funny that there is no final unity on what...

Unless one is led by the Spirit...or IN The Spirit. But mostly it's just one religious opinion exalting itself over another. The truth is never considered as it sounds too far outside the reaches of the carnal mind.

Out of the context of a religious ideological premise. :hmhehm

I don't think that those who consider themselves to be rich...even if one of them came back from the dead to warn them...would heed any warning. Instead, they would simply say...see another who has been poisoned by "(fill in the blanks)".

The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom. That is SO true. So don't expect those who have left off the fear of the Lord to heed any higher wisdom.They will rally around dogmatic/political statements..to drown the wisdom out. Just watch...

As SBG said...the carnal mind is accustomed to filling in the blanks in order to make sense in a TEMPORAL environment. That same tendency is DISASTROUS when applied to understanding the bible. Words and added in, entire verses , paragraphs, and chapters overlooked to get at the support one...

A great post. But because it is well thought out...it won't be seen as having as much importance as a dogmatic statement to rally an emotionally triggered response around. The post you are responding to shows how misinterpretations take on more and more effect...like the way a snowball gathers...

In history, we see that when people get out of touch with reality....disaster follows. We have the story of Marie Antoinette..who, we are told.. when she heard the peasants had no more bread...she replied...well. let them eat cake! Regardless of what she really said or not said...she was put...

That's right. Have you read in the Song of Solomon.?.."I am my beloveds..and my beloved is mine" I belong to my wife and my wife belongs to me. Do you have a wife? Is she yours....??? This is about an intimate union of Christ and His Bride...not about the salvation of the world.

Actually right field...but I saw one commenter defend that as a heritage of some kind. You'd have to go back and look. Wrangler I think...

What if the New Covenant was not a way to condemn the world for not believing fast enough...but rather was the Son of God seeking a Bride? What if all the verses about belonging to Him was in that context...cleaving to Him...loving Him. What if Jesus was not trying to condemn the world but save...

Exactly! Even though so many are misinterpreting themselves into a religious state, treat them like brothers and exhort them to obedience. If they don't listen, God will take care of them. So even here. we are not to judge before the time.

What I was saying was...way to misinterpret God's words in order to build up a dogmatic religion....sort of thing.

There is a common misunderstanding that says. If a person is not born again, they are going to hell. But that's a religious interpretation. Jesus says enter into the kingdom (now)....not go to hell if one doesn't. Religious people misinterpret Jesus both who He is and waht He says... Why? To...
