    Here you are again...describing the very thing you do. Throwing your ego into the mix...:rolleyes:

    Heresy or error?

    Imposing your ego here only derails the subject of the thread...and all the others. These threads are not about you. But your mission seems to direct about everything to how you feel. No way the truth gets through that. Have you addressed the OP or are you leading in once again with your ego...

    What about this one AFTER the judgments are complete. Rev. 22:15 “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” The spiritual sins are dealt with differently than the physical ones. In a great house there are...

    When the spies returned from Canaan most had an evil report. The ones who had a good report (good news) were set upon...they were hated to the point where they could have been killed for their faith in the power of God to take the land. Num. 14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    I think I see what you mean. Holiness is not something we are allowed to play with. Why condemn a person who doesn't know how to handle something that can condemn him/her. We have the example of Uzzah and the cart. He was killed for not appreciating holiness. So why would God declare us...

    At this present time I am walking on the lower plane...yes...otherwise I wouldn't be on this forum, or any forum for that matter. But I am like a spy that has seen the land...and I am testifying of it. I walked in Zion for a few days...and then a few years. Twice I was taken up to walk in the...

    Thank you for your consideration. But I say the things I do to help those whom God might not correct in a personal way. God's way is to correct one brother...and then he is to warn the others. God has been HARD on me but also very gracious. I am holding so much back....the things I've seen and...

    I guess you can only perceive what you are able to. If you read my posts through you would see that the mercy of God extends beyond what evangelicals are conditioned to believe. God will have mercy on whoever He wills. The righteous are such because of their attitude and what they do. WHOEVER...

    Instruction in righteousness

    The earnest of the Spirit (in the heart) returns back to God since they were unfaithful to keep up their end of the bargain. Like the buried talent returns back the the one who gave it. Since these didn't allow for the flesh to be cut away...since they identified with their own carnal nature...

    I don't despise anybody. You are trying to create me in your image. I'll say it one last time. I am against the hiding in darkness, afraid to be exposed for what they actually believe and do. I am following the path that the few follow. I am not looking for approval from men. And I am willing...

    Instruction in righteousness

    That doesn't stop you or who you are following. Look to your own certainties and allow God to work among His people as He sees fit. Stop judging by your own mind.....and you just might catch a glimpse of the Eternal One doing His works.

    Instruction in righteousness

    Why evangelize? Why not allow people to die? Why preach the gospel? I preach the gospel of the kingdom. The same gospel we read about in the bible. The one with the power to translate people into the keeping power of God in the kingdom realm...where there is NO sin. Do I do this the same way...

    Instruction in righteousness

    Sure. But let's be honest about it. let's take things to their final conclusion. We saw in the 20th century how both Communism and Fascism were so destructive. We have that as part of world history. But we still have people who are doomed to repeat the same errors...because they aren't paying...

    I say...follow Christ or AT LEAST follow righteousness. But since most people don't know either recourse...they think it's about me. But that's because they assume I'm doing the same thing they are. Because this is all about them.

    This isn't personal for me. I just see the inconsistencies among those who are being led but are not being honest. let the demoguogic grandstanders say the most outrageous things. OK. It's a free country! :) Does temporal politics "trump" Christ? For MANY American evangelicals...yes. Such is the...

    Modern preachers are doing exactly what Rabbis are doing in Judaism. Instead of teaching people that they need to keep the WHOLE law, or be guilty of all...no, they teach that ANY obedience brings benefits so that ANY observance is better than none. So then the same goes for the church. We are...

    What I find is that most Protestants are not as honest as Luther was in his outlandish claims. They cringe at the implications of what he is saying even as they support his ideas. We see the same thing with Trump and the Evangelical posturings that are both ashamed of trump and his greatest...

    Heresy or error?

    This is an interesting way of seeing what Paul wrote. I think there is something to it. Of course if Paul had in mind ONLY leaders then he would have said that...because he respected the leaders in a given place. However, I think your idea fits into the narrative...although it doesn't explain...

    Things will never change unless there is some honest appraisal of where we find ourselves in church history. On another thread I posted a poll that got little to no attention. Nobody opted for light being a cover for darkness. Why not? That's what at least half of people believe on this forum...
