    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    This is hilarious. I suppose Paul being seated in heavenly places IS transferable? Being crucified with Christ? The modern false gospel transfers whatever sounds good to itching ears.

    The Unsaved Man Does Not Need To “Stop Sinning”

    Sinners sin no matter how deceived they are to believe otherwise. The grace of God overcomes sin....in truth...not just in a false religious doctrinal bent. So you have been deceived by the teachings of men. Men are powerless...and the false gospel is also powerless. Righteous is as righteous...

    The Unsaved Man Does Not Need To “Stop Sinning”

    There is a basic dishonesty with Western believers. On the one hand they will say that to stop sinning means only to stop a LIFESTYLE of sin...because they don't believe in resurrection life that overcomes ALL sin. So that is unbelief in the gospel in itself. But then these same deniers will...

    Which kind of FAITH regarding JESUS do you have?

    Exactly right. The Gentiles have mainly NOT learned anything from the biblical narrative and history. Are we better than the Jews who came before us? Only in our prideful delusions. Our collective pride in being chosen for grace has fooled us into thinking that we are better than those who were...

    Which kind of FAITH regarding JESUS do you have?

    Is. 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and...

    Which kind of FAITH regarding JESUS do you have?

    The blood of Jesus is the LIFE of Jesus. Jesus is alive. There are many who would have Jesus to remain dead on the cross....but He is alive. Partaking of the blood of Jesus is to partake of the life of Jesus. If we abide in Christ the blood of Jesus (life) cleanses us from all sin. Walking in...

    Which kind of FAITH regarding JESUS do you have?

    You said...Christ on the Cross to become your WAY TO GOD....but then when I suggest to do that very thing...you call it being saved by works. You are trying to avoid God, avoid reality and avoid the victory of Christ...and then calling that salvation. What kind of salvation tries to avoid going...

    Which kind of FAITH regarding JESUS do you have?

    Jesus paid a great cost to give us access to the initial grace that changes our hearts...as a gift! In return...if we are to be His disciples, we in turn pay the price of being a "living sacrifice" in order that we be conformed to Christ in our minds and behaviour. So then God comes to...

    The Unsaved Man Does Not Need To “Stop Sinning”

    Redefining sin is not the same as overcoming it. There is no reward for redefinitions...but only for overcoming. Those who redefine will be under severe judgment. The gospel is the power over sin..not the human dishonesty of redefining sin. It is a great crime...and shows a criminal mind...to do...

    The Unsaved Man Does Not Need To “Stop Sinning”

    Reality check: anyone who sins is a sinner. Jesus said that all who sin are a slave of sin. Is what Jesus says of any importance to you? Or does your idea of grace cancel out truth and reality? Grace (in its full measure) is actually the empowering of God's Spirit to walk as Jesus walked. The...

    The Unsaved Man Does Not Need To “Stop Sinning”

    This post hits an 11 on the confusion scale. The logic here is a jumbled mess. The OP is about an effort to stop sinning. Obviously, if Jesus says to sin no more (whether perfection is being advocated is not the question) meaning to make an effort of SOME kind. So that is a strawman argument...

    The Unsaved Man Does Not Need To “Stop Sinning”

    Jesus said..."sin no more"... but it flies in the face of the Calvinist viewpoint so the words of Jesus are ignored. There's a lot of that going on. We are to obey the commandments of God by ALL means...whatever is available. If we have received God's grace then we never have to sin again. But...

    Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God -??? what does that mean?

    The kingdom of God is in the spiritual realm. It is Zion where the Lord has chosen to fellowship with humankind. When we enter into Christ we are translated (Harpazo) to be with the Lord. This is a mystery that must be experienced to understand properly. Being filled with the Spirit is...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    I find that the Catholic church has basically good doctrine...to a point. The problem is the practice. It is how the doctrine is being interpreted that leads people astray. I see the RCC as a state religion based on ceremony as opposed to a church that makes disciples. The idea that traditions...

    The Biblical Basis for Catholic Distinctives

    This is a self-destruct thread based on proving how carnal religious people really are. We are all affected by the fallen human condition. The key is what to do with it. The Catholic institution has some things right and some things wrong. The protestant institutions have some things right and...

    What Happens When You Believe in Jesus Christ

    There is more than one way to believe in Jesus Christ. The bible records that many believed in Him but later betrayed Him. Even Peter, although he recovered from that, betrayed the Lord. To ascribe all belief in Jesus to being born again is foolishness. Here are some of the ways we as humans...

    Our Names Are Written in Heaven = Malachi 3;16, Luke 10;20, Revelation 2;17

    There are 3 different books that a name can be written in. One has to understand how the bible is written. For instance...times (plural) and a time (singular) is 3 years. Look at how the bible records the following. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were...

    The Gift of Righteousness

    What does it mean to be under grace? What does it mean to be under the headship of Christ? What does it mean to have the covering of God's righteousness? What of the false doctrines that seek to destroy the church of God's power? What of the false notion of imputation. Imputation is on the...

    The Gift of Righteousness

    Hi to all! This thread is about grace. Not the grace that many people are taught by ministries that are trying to attract numbers and make money. No, this is about the grace of God as taught in the bible and experienced among the saints of God. There is a difference between being justified and...

    Which kind of FAITH regarding JESUS do you have?

    You are mistaken in taking verses about the baptism and further fillings of the Spirit and trying to apply that to receiving an initial grace as a sample at regeneration. Are you determined to NOT sow to the Spirit? Are you determined to think it is wrong for God to reap where He has not sown...
