Jesus calls the Laodiceans to repent...or else... The Ninevites were also called to repentance...and by a lesser one than Jesus. They indeed repented. You need to do a study on righteousness, my friend. Get yourself a Septuagint bible....and see how early believers saw righteousness...

Both....In the OT nobody could look on God and live. No "ADAM" could do so. But in Christ we are no longer in Adam. However, God is so clothed in light..you can't make out features anyway. The light is too powerful. Meeting the Father...you are on your face.

Romans 8 is about walking in the power of the Spirit...in resurrection power. This is contrasted with walking in (or according to) the flesh. Rom. 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the...

In the flesh here...means NOT in the Spirit. It doesn't mean physically dead. We can either be IN the flesh...walking in our own power, and therefore sinning at times...or else IN the Spirit...in Him is no sin at all. There is PLEASING God.....and there is being accepted by God. This is how to...

A religious scheme is identified when it destroys righteousness in a bid for self-justification. Now, the Jews always saw the possibility that Gentiles could be righteous...the Yad Vashem monuments attest to that belief. So then the Jews are WAY ahead of many churches in this. Is 5:20 Woe unto...

The law increases sin....the truth either makes one repent or lash out the harder. The outer man dies hard...and the self-justified religious man is basically a lost cause. Otherwise there could be no severe judgment reserved for those who HATE the truth.

There is a proverb that shows how judgment is required to know when to speak and when not to. I only speak when there is a chance that somebody might see through what is going on. Prov. 26: 4,5 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according...

Another bible lady...good grief. Birds of a feather...

You are making being a "believer" a panacea over all the sins of men. Becoming a believer is only good insofar that we line up with God's will. We see that same wrong thinking with becoming a Jew. Do all Jews go to"heaven"? Are all of Israel that are in Israel? I see that you are unable to...

A religious reaction again. Are you a JW? Do you say Jehovah?...or that other name Yahweh? Do you realize that another god can intercept your prayer if you don't address it properly...etc etc... Without Christ for real or without Christ as an excuse to be religious? Real disciples don't have...

He did...but He came to call them to repentance. I was also raised Catholic...and renounced it over 40 years ago now. There is a difference between forgiveness in the past and a constant state of forgiveness. It's the claiming salvation for oneself for what Jesus did for the whole world that...

Are you saying you are uncomfortable claiming to be as righteous as God even as you realize you are a sinner? There are many here who would try to convince you that believing a certain religiously flavoured gospel turns any sinfulness or unrighteousness magically into the very righteousness of...

As in..."repentance is never the right thing to do." With counsel like that no wonder the church is in the state its in. It's repentance proof. That's why we see all the misrepresentations of God and the gospel here.

Thank you for subscribing! :)

You are saying we are not responsible for our own actions and sins...that God is a puppet Master? How long have you embraced Calvinism? You are trying to punch above your weight here. You have exceeded your level of understanding. To rightly divide the word you'd have to see that righteousness...

Religious propaganda. God allows people to get His name wrong. You are confusing God with Rumpelstiltskin.

This is false. The whole world is under the influence of the devil...especially the religious institutions that are used to justify the flesh. But God so LOVED the world. Your religious gospel has God so HATING the world that everyone is under wrath unless they agree with your dogmatic...

Full disclosure: This thread is about helping people to wean themselves from a religious spirit they have adopted in order to fit into the popular religious culture. Okay...so we have agreement on children of other religions not being consigned to the fires of hell by a merciful God. But how...

Thank you for your response. I fully agree with you. I invite you to comment on a video I posted in the creation of a thread I did on "how to walk in righteousness". https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/how-to-walk-in-righteousness.54427/

Repentance from obvious sins unto God unto righteousness. Muslims do it, Jews do it, Hindus do it....it's much more common than people (religious) realize. In fact, that's the only level that most Christians operate on. And there is nothing wrong with turning from sins unto God...going to...
