Just bury that talent. Don't serve God whatever you do.

Moses is now an unbeliever? And Joshua and Caleb? Can you say grasping at straws? You twist and obfuscate in order to avoid admitting anything truthful. All the people were saved that died in the wilderness. Are you going to deny that they were God's people that He miraculously saved through...

So let's break it down further. Please read the whole post.... ;) We are justified both by faith and by works. James 2:24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Paul never said that a man cannot be justified by works. He was saying that there is a...

This is good. It works on one level. And it is a working understanding that can yield good fruit. As long as it is realized that each of your categories has a double-edge. There is a righteousness side and a holiness side to each. The publican was justified by God because he was honest...not...

It is wise to consider just how much of the gospel we believe in is culturally American...or Western...and how much is heavenly and eternal and biblical in nature. Do people really walk in resurrection power...or just the flesh that has been indoctrinated to accept and defend a religious...

These are just words. Few people will ever walk in the Spirit in our day. People now prefer fables to the truth. Indoctrination makes a philosophy and a vain religious posturing to be the biblical standard...which it is not. We are warned in the bible about the deceptions of the last days. The...

Jesus also said that there is coming the time...as in with the coming of the New Covenant in Christ. ...that God was looking for worshippers according to Spirit and truth. God was going to raise the stakes by giving men...all men having access...a chance to be the people of God. So Jesus...

I see you stumble over that. Don't underestimate God profoundly by not seeing that God can raise the stakes as He wishes. Don't judge this from yourself....and not from the word by faith. The spiritual rebirth is an invitation to be the people of God. It is a salvation from the condemnation of...

How many of us eat a sandwich without first cutting it in half? God has chosen to divide up the gospel like that sandwich ....for various reasons....as follows... 1. it's easier to take things in one step at a time. Every journey begins with a first step. 2. The first step is indeed salvation...

Faith begins with a choice. A choice to give thanks for ALL things. Thank God for the noise, for the water, for everything. Become a thankful person in your affliction knowing that God is trying to save you for eternity not give you a 5 star vacation. Start with faith and obedience. 1 Thess...

More obvious false allegations. I never said that believers aren't born again into salvation. Gentiles have now become the children of God through the gospel. But although people want to make an end to it there ...there is more. A lot more. And that is where the reading skills and honesty come...

If you would look at the thread with some reading skills and even a little honesty you will see that the truth of the biblical position is that we are called of God for His purpose...not ours. We are called to put on Christ and be the light in the world...as He was in His time here. We are...

This is the deception. This is the mantra of the half-truth found in the half-gospel. And many will be deceived. Every person who was in the wilderness was saved...from Egypt. But these people were once saved....but they were saved in order to be tested in the wilderness...to learn to trust...

The gifting is to put us in a higher race of faith. We are given a higher race WITH a higher calling based on a new spiritual birth. So the stakes have been raised all around. But the same challenges are present. Few made it to the promised land...just as few will enter into the kingdom of God...

The half-gospel...that seeks to avoid paying the price of a crucified life...IS the false gospel. So you have it exactly backwards. You have not taken the upside down nature of the kingdom of God into consideration. Few do.

The half-gospel is made to be easily understood...with ego intact, pride intact, and every other false consideration untouched. And the people loved to have it so.

The first part of the gospel is easy to understand...saved from the condemnation of the world..entering into a new life with a new heart. But things usually go downhill from there...with false ministries seducing people away from God's intent towards a chimera and the drawing of false...

This is completely religious and fully unaware of the nature of the gospel. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world to win back His creation. this is nothing personal towards the church per se. Jesus is building in a spiritual place...not here in this world. There is SO much deception based...

Ah...the whole body argument. We are talking about the spiritual nature of the church...which is the pillar and ground of THE truth. Not a religious opinion and organization about an aspect of the truth. The conundrum for the human mind to grasp is this...WE are here physically in the world...

So far from the truth. We are born again into a wilderness walk. There are two barriers to cross over. The first qualifies us to be God's people. But God meets us in the wilderness to try us and prepare us for holiness. But FEW indeed are in that race because of the half-gospel...that...
