When someone reads Paul in a way that makes them think that Jesus was a heretic or that He preached "another gospel"...you have to surmise that they are misreading Paul. As Peter warns us... 2 Pet. 3:16 “As also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some...

You are trolling my thread but it's me looking for attention. :rolleyes: You see Jesus as a kind of whipping boy who gets all your dirty deeds dumped on Him...while you get all His goodness. (No wonder you disrespect His words so much). Will God receive you with open arms for this? Or reject...

You don't have any understanding of grace beyond a free sample of it. Quoting Jesus you call misusing the bible. Why not be honest with those who have less discernment (since they can't see you for what you really are as long as you keep posturing). Are you against following Christ? Are you...

I'm finishing my salvation by quoting Jesus? Do you realize how much you are against the words of Jesus? Anyone who listens to Jesus...you write off in favour of your true master...Luther. You side with a religious spirit that loves the flesh and the salvation of the flesh. Your religious...

Being born again is a pre-requisite to oneness with God. The same goes for seeing the kingdom and entering in. Always a pre-requisite. But what of the cost of entering into the kingdom walk in Zion, and oneness with the Father? We need to look to Jesus and what He taught concerning this...

That is the problem...a misuse of scriptures. Scripture monkeys have not understood the text to the appropriate depth. We have, and you have, an amazing potential. Our collective job is to help one another to go further...together. :)

Quite the opposite. I am not being allowed to point out what is obviously wrong in a person's religious estimation. I am trying to provide balance and godly wisdom...but that affects the still kicking carnal outer man...that refuses to go to the cross. Why? Because of false promises of glory...

And yet evangelicalism does that very thing. Making people declare themselves as righteous as God for a mere religious acceptance of certain verses that are usually taken out of context. The warnings of the bible are almost always ignored...and this shows a lack of respect for God and His ways...

The question is whether you think it's true...whether you are personally involved or not. Does your personal involvement change your answer in any way?

Not really. :rolleyes:

....but what if your told to believe the good stuff and resist the negative stuff? Doesn't the flesh love that kind of directive. How do you get more people in the pews...how does a religious business model look if you are tearing down the flesh? A humble person will always receive the...

There is a lot of vagueness here...some of it almost sounds about right...but a person will never seek for something he believes he already has.

My amusement is on display. When things go into the absurd...I tend to laugh about it. Humour is a legitimate response to the absurd. If you could see the absurdity I'm sure you would not be taking yourself or my responses to some crazy statements here so seriously.

100 divided by 10....hey, that still leaves 10. So then, repeat it only 10 times. :)

As in...humility has NO part in the Christian life. You are rich and have need of nothing...! Now say that to yourself a hundred times...and voila...still nothing! ;)

I resist religious spirits that lie against the truth... and that puts people in a snit, since so many believe the first thought (voice) that comes into their heads Have you no memory? All the claims of people here...like claiming to be as righteous as God Himself. Man, that sure beats those...

Here is the hypocrisy and dishonesty of the present religious culture... A person picks up a bible and reads..."We are seated in heavenly places in Christ." The person gasps..."I am"???? The religious lying spirit responds..."yes you are!" The person is made happy because he can have an even...

It takes courage to be real when so many exaggerate their claims about where they are at. Religious conditioning and carnal competitiveness makes people afraid to reveal their actual experience. Instead people will justify themselves by saying they already have everything written in the...

In a nutshell...cross avoidance. We must come to the end of ourselves each time to progress to a new level of grace with the Lord. Calling something there that isn't there is NOT faith...it is fantasy...or as the bible puts it...fables. People will be uplifted in their flesh...thinking that's...

Babies don't have much power beyond crying out in their needs. And this is a good thing. We are to cry out to God for the power to live life in spiritual victory. But most people take a new birth as sufficient in itself to be saved....so they bury their talent and remain in a state of perpetual...
