    What is the New Covenant all about?

    OK, and welcome to the thread. :) I already wrote out the first point above in post #5. And I was hoping people would respond to that. Another way is to listen to say...the first 5 minutes...stop the video...then comment on that. :) Then when there is more time...listen to another 5...

    What is the New Covenant all about?

    All this reliance on the free stuff is equivalent to the pride of the Jews for being natural Jews. They were born INTO Israel...and somehow many of them feel they are special to God....no matter what they do. As in...the worst Jew is still better than the best Gentile. Is that a humble attitude...

    What is the New Covenant all about?

    Point one from the video. We are forgiven our past sins...but we enter into the New Covenant as a new race according to faith where it is possible to have victory through grace OR to add sin to sin..and make our situation worse...by adding a religious veneer as a covering for sins. We are to...

    What is the New Covenant all about?

    No...it is Jesus raised again for the justification of all who enter INTO Him. Of course not. :) You're not interested in dialogue or a deeper look into the things you have accepted as true. That's only a theory since you can't be bothered to listen to the video. So nothing you say can have...

    Hot off the press! :)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I'm actually expecting them to agree with you (at least to some degree). I just think you are being more honest than they are. Gnosticism is attractive because it's easy on the flesh. Having trouble with sin? No...there is no more sin! A believer is not responsible for the sin he/she just...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Religious outer man alert. See, you are in a snit. And you are not seeing my intent...to save you from the present condemnation that afflicts the modern churches (especially evangelical). You will go kicking and screaming because your faith is mixed in with a self-preservation. It isn't...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    This is a real beauty. I'm hoping that others will respond to this post by @Behold. I'm hoping for some honesty in what people think of his position. I see his position like a cancer on evangelicalism. It infects practically everyone but most are afraid to speak out what they really believe...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Hey @Lizbeth What do you make (seriously) of post # 483 by @Behold? How much are you agreement with Gnostic ideology? Where do you differ...if at all?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    I do so to distance myself from the Gnostic ideology you have been religiously conditioned into. I wish you could see through the pretend righteousness. I have to go hard on the lie...because the truth is what sets us free. I don't play around with false doctrines...I expose them. And this is...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    When a post is this off the wall...I don't break it down since the whole thing is based on a heresy known as Gnosticism. Now a lot of people agree with this nonsense...at least to some degree. As long as you pretend to be perfect or seated in heavenly places BECAUSE YOU READ about it.....then...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Stop sinning? Or stop confessing? :rolleyes:

    What does it mean to be born again?

    We can improve our situation through discipline and devotions. But these things were always available. On this thread I am speaking about the higher calling into which we have been regenerated to participate in. Do you see that there is such a thing as the higher walk. A walk that is actually...

    What is the importance of piety?

    With us humans there is always a trade-off....since the flesh can only do so much. We need to break free of our limitations by putting off the flesh...with God's help of course. :) Piety is based on humility and the fear of the Lord. Both of these were effectively abolished by the Reformation...

    What is the importance of piety?

    Piety is basically humility. And we are to seek humility with diligence. God gives grace to the humble. :)

    What does it mean to be born again?

    That's right! The flesh needs to go to the cross for the life to come out. See, people's errors don't always overlap so that one person can correct the other :)...and yet still be missing the main thing.:rolleyes: Most believers will never walk in the Spirit. They will claim they are fully...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Not so fast. There is a husk around the seed of Christ that needs to be broken...otherwise the promotion of that filtered condition leads to adding sin upon sin. Iniquity is adding in the flesh to what is of the Spirit. So people can say...see how holy I am...and yet they are filthy. The outer...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The salesmanship isn't seen when people want the product bad enough. But when you see what is being peddled is saccharine sweet (sweet spot) and full of decay...that only props up the flesh in encouraging dogmatic foolishness...then the salesmanship becomes apparent. Too sweet is as bad as...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    On the menu today from Behold: Some cross avoidance...some blah blah blah...another dash of cross avoidance...then finally bring a fleshly simmer. The gospel of Christ a devil's gospel? But Paul had it right? Or was it Luther interpreting Paul that had it right. Regardless, you are looking...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Grasping a concept? Or living in resurrection life? And since you believe that, when you read "you are poor, naked, wretched, and blind" you don't believe that could possibly be you since you surmise you are above all that? Or do you remain open to be corrected by the Lord? Are you rich and have...
