You are minimizing God's maximum standard here. Jesus said that the way was narrow and few would find it. And we are living at a time where people are farther from the truth than ever...even as everyone claims to walk at the standard that Paul said he was striving to attain to...to win Christ...

Actually not so much... You have to read the biblical text for what is written not what you have learned by various doctrinal deviations. Notice this statement from Peter. Acts 10:35 "But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him." Acceptable is not...

Calvin only explains one side of the coin...those who God elects to be a saint. This does NOT explain what the normal Christian experience is. God has WAYS...plural. There is the way that is in Christ and there is the way of righteousness. There are the righteous and there are the saints. There...

This post is a symptom of the lack of spiritual experience in the modern church. It may seem that the New Covenant grace has not yet been made available...but that is because of the superficiality of the seeking of God among those who are told they already possess all the grace they need. So...

The "he" is assigned by translators not the writers of the Bible who were not writing in Englsih. If the writers were writing in English originally I'm sure they would have dropped the gender indicators. This is hard for people to understand that only speak English. Look at Proverbs where it...

There is a big difference between purity...the perfection of Christ given to us by grace that cleanses us by the blood (life) of Jesus...and the maturity we are to develop that allows us to remain in the spiritual walk of perfection of Christ. There is a difference between a car and the ability...

No. You are barking up the wrong tree here. I suggest you look for the right questions before seeking answers with flawed thinking. Paul sought to have the exact same maturity as Jesus...because he walked in the very same life and power that Jesus did when he walked in the Spirit. The maturity...

The problem of knowing only English as a language is to not realize that many languages have masculine and feminine genders for every word. Hebrew and Greek are not like English at all. They are more like French with the gender indicators. For instance in French a table is feminine. So then the...

Greetings C4M! :) I think it is easy to miss how spiritual Paul became after his conversion. I believe that he admonished the believers who were as he was...seeking to win Christ. Now that doesn't make much sense to a lot of people. How do you win Christ? The ordinances, or traditions in the...

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12) That name is Jesus...not Father Son and Spirit. Not positions but a name...the name of the unique Mediator between the Father and His people. The doctors of...

Happy new year to all my fellow Board members. We are that much closer to the end of this temporal simulation of reality. Soon eternal reality will swallow everything to the praise and honour of God.

The life and power that people will experience in eternity...today!

Mountains represent pride...and what is naturally exalted in the temporal world. Babylon is simply the church that is built on the religious outer man. God has rejected all the efforts of men. he builds His own church. So every effort, denomination and ministry that men claim is done FOR God...

Do you see any difference between the Bride of Christ and the many guests that are invited to the feast?

How is your view different from the Orthodox view of "theosis" or oneness with God? The churches in the West have rejected that doctrine believing that people will always remain sinful. Not so the churches in the East who believe we can actually be as Christ in the world. Of course to walk as...

In that case, everyone serves God. God can make good come about from evil. But the righteous are aware of their responsibilities in this life. God doesn't entrust holy things to people who walk in their own strength. There is a further distinction to be made between being LED by the Spirit and...

Then there is the failed saint category...the filthy...who serve themselves while claiming to follow Christ. These hold the truth but in unrighteousness. Judas is an example. These go unwashed and stain everything with their fleshly ways and thinking. Yet, if they would humble themselves and not...

Rev. 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev. 22:27 And there shall in no wise...

We put on the righteousness of God when we enter into Christ....like a vehicle that brings us into a holy walk...like an airplane that causes us to fly above the pull of this world. So the race of faith is to enter into Christ right now to walk as He walked. Otherwise we are not in the race of...

Saints have more responsibility so they are given more capacity. To he who has more will be given (Matt. 13:12). Saints will rule with Christ over the righteous of the nations in the next age...and forever. There is a distinction to be made between the bride of Christ and the many guests that...
