People want a god that serves them. And it just seems like Jesus is such a god. But it just seems that way. The arrogant always try to take advantage of the humble. People mistake the humility of Jesus for weakness and an opportunity to take advantage of His sacrifice for themselves. But God has...

I don't get that vibe from you at all. I think you think you know it all. You judge from yourself and have seen nothing. And you are against anyone else knowing more than yourself. So where is the hope?

I cannot fathom an unholy grace. I can fathom a grace that brings us into God's holiness in order to walk worthy of the high calling...and share in the legacy of the saints of God. And this is by grace through faith. So who has the kind of faith to walk in that grace....to walk as Jesus walked...

God's agenda is that He seeks a nation that will bear a holy fruit. Of course people have their own agendas regarding salvation. But whose will is going to actually be done? Mat. 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the...

You are not understanding how God judges. You are putting ALL the responsibility for love on God...and nothing on our fruit of return. We are created for HIS pleasure. He does not exist for OUR salvation. salvation is a byproduct of pleasing God. A person is rejected by God because a holy...

Grace is the higher call with the higher equipping. Higher stakes. You see grace as a god having no more sense of sin...or becoming old and careless concerning a lack of holiness. But in truth God is just as holy as He ever was. And a lot of people believe they have an unholy grace that gives...

You are trying to compare humans with God. A human cannot cast a soul into the lake of fire. And we are not to fear men but God. So then your understanding is strictly human in nature...being in the dark concerning God. Look at this parable... Luke 13:7-9 Then said he unto the dresser of his...

You have not yet understood the stakes in the race of faith. You may think that Gentiles are better than the Israelites that perished in the wilderness. You might have something against the Jews who failed God. But God has raised the stakes...not lowered them. So then you have bought into a...

This is false. A perpetual babe is a person who never bears a spiritual fruit. Read the bible....with honesty...about they who never bear fruit. Or they who bear a carnal fruit....wood, hay and stubble. It is the difference between a blessing and a cursing. A reward or a loss of all things...

Amen. A religious person is a babe concerning spiritual things. And for that person all is binary...right or wrong. They can't see the ...good, better and best...of the growth in Christ. In Christ there is the analog progression ...the race...the journey...but only if one is actually walking it...

It is possible to be either justified by faith OR works. Paul is championing faith since everyone in those days KNEW that works justified you. Today we have the opposite problem. Nobody seems to understand good works...or works prepared in advance anymore. But notice this... Ps. 106:30 Then...

I don't think very many want to sin and still be a Christian. But the issue is with justification. Many do hold that justification and sin are separate issues...as in...I am still justified in my sins. As opposed to being justified away from sins. So it is a question of WHO is doing the...

This is a good observation. Of course as with anything with God...there are many facets and depths of understanding possible. But Jesus did say he that is the least in the kingdom... “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least...

What is sad is when people are looking for a permanent justification for NOT being obedient to Christ and the gospel (which is seen as works). But Jesus only gives the kingdom to they who bear the right kind of fruit. The modern religious process works like this...a person justifies himself...

You are seeing things backwards. Believing INTO Jesus is a work of God...not a human work. The thief had his own faith...not the faith OF Christ. So again you are failing to make distinctions...but just making an omelette of everything thus obscuring the truth of it. And this is no yoke! ;)

Not at all. You would have to know the difference between...Christ IN you and Christ being FORMED in you. There is a world of difference between these. MANY are called but FEW are chosen. So then many have the HOPE of glory but few attain to glory. Many have Christ in them as a template...but...

This is false of course. They who are led by the Spirit are not under the law. We ARE to live up to God's standard....by grace through faith. Not of ourselves, but by the resurrection power of Christ. Otherwise you are still trying to justify yourself with filthy rags. And before we grow into...

You are exactly wrong. Jesus said as I overcame now YOU overcome as I did. Rev. 3:21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. You think you will not be judged for your actions. Dead wrong. We will...

Although Jesus died as a propitiation by buying back His creation from the temporal hijackers...the devil and his political structure.

This is actually true. :) I'm surprised that a binary fundamentalist can see that. There are in fact three books at judgment (books and another book make 3) The book of life. (The obedient to the basic principles of Christ...like the meek) The book of remembrance (the righteous) The Lamb's...
