    Forgive and you will be forgiven

    With this simple error the words of Jesus go out the window. Then, everything that is based on that error is out in left field (actually right field) We have been forgiven the sins that are past....and we have an advocate with Jesus who will judge each case individually. This idea of God...

    Dead faith.

    A lie. We will ONLY be judged for what we have done in these bodies. We will not be judged by what we have believed or not. A lot of baby Christians have never been severed from their unbiblical cords. 2 Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may...

    Spotting the Heretic

    But God is not like a hampster or even a human. They who know Him do fear Him. They who have a theoretical ideology ABOUT God are not going to fear a god of their own design. A man can't make a god that he fears...because the master is the creator. But a person who encounters the living God...

    Spotting the Heretic

    I think we have all spotted the heretic here.o_O Pitting the gospel against a simple childlike righteousness is to corrupt both the gospel and righteousness. Peter said that all who fear the Lord and do what is right are accepted by God. The gospel speaks of a higher walk by grace...but that...

    understanding Paul

    There was a change in the holiness laws and the priesthood. The holiness laws were not a living holiness. Heb. 7: 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order...

    understanding Paul

    Do you see that you are actually the one doing what you think I am doing? Read you own post to yourself. I am speaking the truth about a generation that no longer believes the gospel. Everything has been reduced to what men can do. Where is the connection to God?

    understanding Paul

    Yes. But righteousness is not the same as holiness. The OT champions righteousness and the NT champions holiness. We have the power to be humble and submit to God in our human capacity. But only in Christ are we connected to a holy God.

    understanding Paul

    When a person makes the gospel to be idealistic...that's a big problem. It's just that Jesus died to take us from the flesh and into the Spirit...into the fellowship with the Father and the Son in the light. So you are exempting yourself from that pursuit? The disappointment for NOT seeking...

    understanding Paul

    There are some good things in here. But also some inaccuracies. We can follow Christ at different distances at different times. Some people are happy to follow Him from a great distance in a "spectator" mode. Others will make their way forward to stay in a much closer proximity to be active...

    understanding Paul

    Jeremiah 9:26 “Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.” God wanted Israel to adopt a new...

    Toward Death More Abundantly Instead... of Life?

    Satan knows in order for him to deceive the world he must first deceive the Christians ...and he's using the word of God to do it. How? By twisting the meaning of words so that it serves mankind and the kingdom of the devil, rather than God and His kingdom.

    Seeing Sanctification

    You are speaking falsehoods. I know the cross of Christ more than just reading about it. I know the grace of the Lord more than just claiming it by carnal beliefs. And nobody is saved finally until the end. It is very possible to draw back unto perdition. (that is also in the bible) So as you...

    Seeing Sanctification

    Don't get in a snit. Please try to listen. You are only relying on certain verses you have not understood...but added in an arrogant pride of human belief. A relationship works both ways. We will be judged by our works...of what kind they are. They who have sown to the flesh with a false...

    1 Corinthians 3: 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's...

    understanding Paul

    The passages you quoted are for the future New Covenant that is according to a new heart. That's not under the law. It's a prophecy. Jesus had to come to quicken people by the Spirit into new life IN Him. So you have gone way to far with applying a new heart to the law. The new heart is by a...

    Seeing Sanctification

    The message of the cross to you is not about your experience...because you haven't experienced the cross...but simply the knowledge ABOUT the historic sacrifice of Jesus that you read about in the bible (or perhaps saw in a movie). But that's it. That's the only experience (non-experience)...

    Seeing Sanctification

    You are just arrogant and lie. Everything centers on you and your flesh. See I post what I have always posted and you wish to take credit for YOURSELF. How wicked. So you are just a very common self-absorbed sinner who sins at a much higher level than you previously did. You have merely gone up...

    Seeing Sanctification

    Grace is the power of God to walk according to the Spirit and fulfill the law of God. To overcome as Jesus also overcame. By grace through faith. Anything else is a lie. That is the higher walk.

    Seeing Sanctification

    Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Notice the "legalism" of Paul here. Phil. 3:18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,

    Seeing Sanctification

    You only see as you are. You are only seeing the word flesh because you only have the flesh to understand things with. If you had the option of a spiritual understanding you would see what I'm saying. So you are trying to grab hold of a spiritual gift...but with your self-centered flesh...and...
