    See? You are not seeing yourself. Many people are seen by others but remain a mystery to themselves. Just put your thumb on your own pulse. Now read my posts. Will your flesh not react? And yet my most fervent prayer is that we ALL would escape the judgment on the rich lukewarm church culture...

    From your sensitive carnal reactions. You don't see yourself. But you are championing the religious outer man who wants God to preserve EVERY part of us...thus denying the cross. This will be hated by you...because it doesn't seem like love to you. Instead ...it's...love me love my flesh. Much...

    Why not? The Israelites were saved into the wilderness...saved...but then they were cut off during their training time. Paul says we also can be likewise cut off. Of course we are not born into Israel in the flesh. We are, however admitted into the higher race by being born from above. But we...

    Believe what you will...but a public post is meant to inform and influence...either to the good or the bad...and this needs to be made clear. So my questioning of what people have been led to believe is for the good of all...including the one who holds to a religious certainty. Encouraging...

    Quite the opposite. We are to seek the Lord while He may be found. People are taught to believe they are already accepted by God...so all they have to do is "accept" His free offer of salvation....no faithfulness necessary. If the salvation is all in the mind of the one who claims the free...

    Do you mean they never THOUGHT they were saved? And what does that have to do with the multitudes who consider themselves as being saved...but in reality are not? How does your type of thinking help anyone. As in..they lost because they were losers. Or...they won because they were winners. They...

    Is Godliness expressed to us through ambiguity?

    No other teacher but the Light? It is uncanny how people can look at the same verse in the Bible and come up with an entirely different interpretation. Even an opposite one. We have need that anyone teach us, as the Spirit of truth will guide us into all understanding. "But the anointing...

    The Little Book

    Rev. 10: 1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on...

    The issue is the basis for the hope. And what part of us is doing the hoping. Jesus said that whoever loses their life will find it. If we are attaching ourselves to the hope of Christ with the wrong part of us...the part that is to die for union with Him...do we not end up in a situation like...

    All I'm doing is using the understanding of God's ways (plural) as being a walk in our faith towards righteousness or/and a walk in the faith OF Christ in holiness. :) The bible makes sense if you understand there are two testaments. :) Each has a standard that is according to either mercy or...

    Instruction in righteousness

    To whom much is given, more is required. Teachers of error will be judged more severely. And the bible says to preach the gospel to the poor. And James says this about the poor... James 2:5,6 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of...

    Instruction in righteousness

    The poor in impoverished nations are members of many religions. The poor will be judged less severely because of their attitude...one that was honed through suffering. Whatever the religion...it doesn't matter, as the poor will be judged according to their love and service for others. We will be...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The righteous don't stand on their own righteousness. They look to God for mercy. Do you remember the publican who beat his chest and begged for God's mercy...he went home justified (by God). That means he was seen as righteous...or that God imputed a human righteous standing to him. The irony...

    You are making my argument for me. ;) Why don't you see then that the anointing of Christ is ON us ...so that His life can be revealed IN us.

    No. The Spirit only fills us when we are FILLED with the Holy Spirit to walk as Jesus walked. Otherwise His influence over us GUIDES us...as we allow ourselves to be LED by the Spirit. Christ in us is a TEMPLATE into which we are fashioned (hammered) into the likeness of Christ. Otherwise, if...

    God has ALWAYS been merciful. The righteous will sin...but their hearts are right with God. And the righteous NEVER claim to be righteous. The righteous INHERIT eternal life in that they did what was right with what little strength they had. Their attitude of humility and mercy on others allows...

    Agreed. But that remnant includes some Catholics. Rather than rest on our laurels, we need to push forward in knowledge, wisdom and understanding. To do that we need to abandon ALL compromise with the flesh, and the religious ideologies that divide the body into immature factions. This is where...

    Heresy or error?

    It took me a year and a half...basically the whole COVID time. I burned out twice writing it...one time I took a month off...it was just so hard to write. I'm not a writer per se...and the subject is SOO dense in content. The editing was a nightmare...a few chapters had to be re-written. I...

    Heresy or error?

    First. Thank you for getting the book. :) My hands were tied at the beginning of the book since I had to define difficult to comprehend things that are very specific before being able to put things together. A lot of clarification was required to counter-the many false presumptions that come...

    Before the Reformation, it was a lot simpler. What muddies the water is when the flesh gets justified. God is NOT the author of the reformation. An actual righteousness of God anointing makes someone EXACTLY like Jesus in purity and holiness. That puts the life of the Spirit (resurrection life)...
