What is the strong delusion that causes so many to believe the lie? 2 Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. How can people believe...

Do you flat out deny that the words of Jesus are Spirit and life? Is Jesus a mystic? Or can you admit you have no idea what the NT is about?

You noticed that the content is spiritual and has no meaning to those who walk in a religious understanding that has not yet seen a breakthrough into the spiritual kingdom realm. The podcast is about spiritual Christianity...not religious Christianity, or dogmatic Christianity. Hence the confusion.

God considered Abraham to be righteous. This doesn't mean that God saw Abraham to be as righteous as He is. There is a human scale to righteousness. Just like there is a human scale to strength (God is far stronger). Without Jesus we can do nothing. Nothing? Nothing on a human scale? Or...

That's the real gospel you have neither heard nor understood.. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 4:16 The cost to approach that throne of grace is all we have and are. We are to BUY eye salve so that we...

You are confusing two issues here. 1. Imputing (attributing) something to someone is only true if there is a real something being attributed. God is not la liar...so then the reformation idea of making God either a liar or blind falls apart. He sees what is real and true. He does NOT cover up...

How can a good anointing produce bad character? When we judge ourselves as superior to those who have not received the same anointing! When we get something from God, we are judged AGAINST it. To whom much is given MORE is required. So rather than judge others and let grace be deceitful to...

Always with love Nancy! :) What is tiring is the by rote indoctrination patterns that pass for doctrines...doctrines that have no merit except to feel good in the flesh. The gospel is HARD on the flesh. Only the poor and suffering see it as good news. We are to preach the good news to the...

Milk drinkers will never see the distinction between righteousness and holiness...because they are stuck too closely on the "teat" so that their vision is blocked. One needs to move back to eat meat. One needs to look beyond one's own experience until then. The milk satisfies..to the point...

The empty vessels are the free samples that have run out. Most modern Protestants believe they are as saved as they can possibly be by entering into the wilderness walk. They know nothing of the Promised Land. Those who have oil have BOUGHT the oil by paying ALL they have to obtain the endless...

There is a big difference between anointing and character. Anointing is ON us....God's righteousness. But character is IN us. So then we are building on OUR righteousness...not God's. God's righteousness is already perfect. We are being adapted..renewed INTO it...not improving on it. Whose mind...

I have tried explaining the difference between righteousness and holiness. It would seem that once a person has latched onto a form of doctrine...nothing else can enter in. The high calling that is in Christ urges us forward into Christ-like character AND the covering anointing that makes such...

OK. Fill yourself with the Spirit then. Just put on Christ along with a change of clothing. It must be within your own power to walk above your own power.

Misunderstandings have filled the churches with people who want to EXPLOIT God, not serve Him. God is selfless. Christ likeness is selfless. But people have been promised heaven for remaining "just as I am." The truth is that God loves us AWAY from what we are. But easy peasy grace (man...

Your story is missing the main point. That point is the car needs something called "human unobtainium" to gas it up. And nobody knows where to get it. You're supposed to just believe that somehow you can get the car there. In your story you make repentance and being crucified to be like a smug...

There is a reason why the church is filled with people at the same time enthusiastic AND going nowhere. They are unable to repent because of false doctrines having been received as truth. They have believed the big lie. They have no love for the truth. What is the big lie? False holiness. For...

Not if one understands His words. Jesus was speaking on more than one level...righteousness and holiness...just like the OT writings. Only those who understand both levels have any understanding. People tend to jumble up the levels so that neither righteousness nor holiness is being upheld...

You did say they were Catholics. I also had Catholic grandmothers. Quiet service...is not the gospel. Do you know what the high calling is? Do you assume you know more than your grandmothers when it comes to the deeper walk IN Christ? Could God be calling you to an equally quiet service?

So much for conceptual thought. ;) I think we need to sometimes look from a more general outlook as an overview of how we reason things out. Non thinkers say things like..."that's not in the bible". Because of a lack of understanding people will miss verse references that are simply worded in...

But neither were they trying to explain what salvation is to people. They probably were not interested in converting others or writing to forums such as these. There are many who live simple righteous lives. That's not what we are dealing with when we are trying to interpret the bible to make a...
