    How to understand... The Lamb's book of life

    Apparently you are into surmising...and putting things together incorrectly. You should just say you can't see what I'm saying. Just as you don't understand everything in the bible. Christ in you is the HOPE of glory...but not the guarantee of glory. Some will go astray, some will be offended...

    The messiah didn't come yet.

    The counterfeit gospel provides a god that is more compatible with the dreams and aspirations of people. But a good servant is conformed to his master.

    The messiah didn't come yet.

    The Jews are not looking for a divine messiah. They are looking for a political leader like another Bar Kochba.

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    Right. We will be judged on what we did or how we used that gift. I think many get hung up on thinking that we will be judged by what Jesus did for us rather than we we did with the grace and time we have been given to advance in God's ways.

    How to understand... The Lamb's book of life

    LOL. I think you are assuming I'm doing what you are doing! I am taught on a whole other level that you would obviously not understand.

    What can I trust most in the translations of the Bible?

    All good. As long as it is remembered that it isn't the translation that is inspired but the original text. It is a good thing to learn the languages of the bible. Especially if one is to teach from it.

    Thinking your way into perdition

    So what's been on your mind lately?

    How to understand... The Lamb's book of life

    This is so far off. Only the saints are written in the Lamb's book of life. These will have Christ as their life. This is the Bride of Christ. To say things so trivially (and so falsely) about the things of God is shocking. And I think you are confusing the book of life with the Lamb's book of...

    How to recognize a Legalist

    God is not involved in smoke and mirrors. That is the domain of religion. And God is not religious. So then grace EMPOWERS us to be as Jesus in the world. And this is the result of walking in His resurrection life. Jesus was raised for our justification. Judgment will reveal who are really...

    How to recognize a Legalist

    This is a skewed criticism based on your non-understanding due to your dogmatic beliefs about the bible....which are the modern heresy of an easy greasy grace salvation for a one time transaction of lip service to God. It is you that denies salvation to others besides they whom you judge to be...

    The = New Testament Priority

    There is no gospel about grace; or grace gospel. That is a heresy championed by Darby with his dispensational bent. The gospel is about the kingdom of God ACCORDING to grace. IOW in Christ we have been given the power to be obedient to the gospel of the kingdom as preached first by Jesus Christ...

    How to recognize a Legalist

    I see your own legalism. You would have Jesus remain on the cross and your self being free because of it. No one is saved IN their sins...but away from them. But Jesus died once....and that for the whole world...not just they who say they "believe." But all who DO the will of the Father are...

    Thanking God

    There is an assumption with all atheists that this life means everything....that there is no other purpose to life than eating and breathing in this creation. So then any other explanation is not understood by these because the viewpoint is limited to a temporal life. But a believer knows that...

    Bible verses most Christians refuse to believe

    And that is what freedom from sin means. Unless a person wants to sin of course. But we can't both abide IN Christ and sin. We are not abandoned by Jesus when we sin. He yet remains in us...since He will not leave us or forsake us. We are learning to place ourselves in His hands and fully...

    Be not overly righteous ???

    The righteous are scarcely saved. It is a minimum requirement of the Lord to act with righteousness. You can't be MORE saved by a personal righteousness. There is no more rewards for trying harder to be MORE righteous of ourselves. But make no mistake ...they who claim to be saved but are not...

    Be not overly righteous ???

    God sees righteousness in people. But once we have been deemed righteous by the Lord...there is not MORE we can do about it. We can only just BE righteous. There is no extra righteousness we can attain of ourselves. So then focusing too much on being MORE righteous or more wise can be as harmful...

    Bible verses most Christians refuse to believe

    Just to add...that "remission" is translated from the Greek "aphesis" which actually means "freedom". So this concerns freedom from sins....not just forgiveness of sins. In Christ there is a refuge from sin....in holiness.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN

    This thread is speaking of the pernicious "serpent-seed" heresy. In actual fact the seeds are the Spirit and the flesh. They fight against each other...in all the children of God. So we can opt for one or the other. God said that Cain could have gotten it right...had he persisted and humbled...
