The point of this thread is not to show exact examples, but to agree on the importance of clarity. If I was to use any example specifically the thread would spin off topic in a flash. For an example (which I did not want to bring up) The vague concept of what is saving faith. Another example...

Actually, I get my ideas by looking at the whole counsel of God. Look at the Laodicean church. It is the final church in the list in Revelation. Now compare the musings of that church with the musings of modern believers...and you get a perfect match! The imputing ideas are Luther's not mine...

How important is doctrinal clarity? Well, very important. People may not realize that doctrinal vagueness allows for putting an opinion above scripture. We see this ALL the time. How many critics use opinion whereas the scripture is clear if you allow for multiple reference points? On another...

OK Maybe you didn't get the gist of my musings. :) The foolish virgins were sure of their salvation...based on a doctrine that said they were as saved as they could be. Even though they were sinful they thought they had God's righteousness "inputed" to them ....when they didn't understand such...

Right back at you... “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.”1 Tim. 4:16 LOL Right back at you. I suggest before posting to read what you are about to post to a mirror. Save yourself a lot of...

I had this thought that I thought to share with the forum. :) Imagine you had the choice between 3 things...a parachute, scuba gear, and a jug of water. And you made this choice without being told clearly what the situation you were in as to what you might need. So the one chooses a...

What works for you...being a good hearted person...may well be very damaging for another. That's how bad doctrines get perpetuated. The Reformation helped the few and condemned the many. It is like the healthy being able to survive on a bad diet...whereas the immune-compromised die because of...

Doctrinal purity helps to save people by not deviating them from the truth, as so many modern doctrines do. Bringing clarity to true doctrines brings light into the darkness. And that is what saves people. As for answering questions...I answer what I consider to be honest questions...not...

The error is thinking that God is not merciful apart from grace. The thief on the cross was received based on mercy not grace. The same applies to all who do right and fear the Lord. God's righteousness is not in us but ON us. It is a covering anointing. The Christ in us has to do with...

Not at all. I'm not pretending to be anything other than a brother. And you are free to consider what I say or not.

God doesn't hate the Jews. They fell in the wilderness and failed to enter into the Promised Land. And we are no better. Can we take a sample of grace and then justify ourselves without a true repentance and surrender to God...one that is accepted by Him?

If the way into life is narrow, and many try but few are able to enter in...where does that leave the many who believe they have been imputed to be on the same level as God in righteousness...without having entered in? But who's the us? Is every believer just like Paul or Christ? The vagueness...

If the way into life is narrow, and many try but few are able to enter in...where does that leave the many who believe they have been imputed to be on the same level as God in righteousness...without having entered in?

I find your post somewhat confusing as you are quoting multiple people. When someone has a public ministry, by all means they are to be measured against the scriptures and the points they have made be challenged if they do not line up with God's word. The "stay in your lane" only works in...

This is where multiple references are needed to get the full picture. :) But I invite this proper challenge because I see an honesty in it. It's easy to miss the different levels of faith...or from faith to faith. As I said previously...faith is scaleable whereas works are not. What does...

How many will weep and gnash their teeth when they find out that they put their faith in men...such as Luther...rather than the resurrected Christ? Did Luther die for you? Would you die for his errors? Or, would you make your calling and election sure by submitting all things to Christ to be...

Where is honesty these days? Have you actually listened to the podcast? Have you read the book? Can you actually quote something accurately and comment on that rather than react with fear and more presumptions and assumptions?

I am actually exposing heresies and making a distinction between what is dangerous for the soul and what is the natural progression from relying on things like the religious ego which the modern churches are not confronting.....in so many cases. People's understanding changes with growth. The...

Light in the darkness. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matt. 5:16 There are many verses that allude to light being righteousness. The light spoken of in this verse is not a physical light, but the spiritual...

Bless you and have a happy Christmas! <>< :)
