I'm afraid for people who listen to these modern preachers who promise heaven for nothing...in a time limited offer! Just to get another notch on their belt.

Christians come in both categories. But in Christ is no sin at all.

The context you use is that you are already eternally saved...and everything you read is with that presumption. So you can just say...that's me because I'm saved...and...that's not me because ...guess what??? I'm saved. It's like looking at the bible through a straw.

I think you are always reading my posts as if I was the same as you...passive aggressive. That's why you react so drastically. I am pointed and truthful in my posts...but they are gently written. Not aggressive....just honest. Have you noticed that I decry the lack of honesty among believers...

So then how does what you practice compare with what is written in the bible? Say... 1 Cor. 14?

This is very informative John... agreed. Who can see how the whole thing goes together? And yet leadership in the body would have to know at least in part. But imagine excluding others because they...although a different and equally valid part of the puzzle...are rejected because they don't...

There is a disconnect going on here. Experience shows the truth. God actually visits people in reality and experience. Anyone can read the bible and say...OK now I'm seated in heavenly places. And why do they do that? Indoctrination and an active imagination. But the bible was not written based...

For us...it isn't so much what is written and what can be claimed religiously...but what can be actually experienced. To be translated into the kingdom means we walk in the same perfection as Jesus did....through His life (blood).

The enemies of the cross are those who claim Jesus as their Lamb...for their own sins...but who continue to live for themselves. So these use God and Christ for their OWN SALVATION. And the enemies of the cross see nothing wrong with this selfish use of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ...

An honest person would read the bible and then compare that with what they are doing. So instead of asking the opinions or practices of others...why won't you look at what you are doing? Like being honest. Read 1 Cor. 14. Do you follow the bible? Do you follow the voice of God? Or do you...

The wilderness of the mind: Now the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years...one year for every day the spies were in the land for. But they didn't believe the hard things...just the easy things. And that is exactly what we see in today's churches. Why break up our way of thinking just...

People latch onto grace because it seems like an easy way to salvation. People like the free stuff. People like the easy stuff. Imagine going to a university...where all the answers are provided so you didn't have to actually learn anything. What would the degrees be worth? Well, less than the...

An excellent reply! And I agree fully. Why don't people take the bible seriously? And especially they who purport to follow the bible? I find these follow the teachings the least. There is so little honesty among they who have been indoctrinated to really take hold of easy answers...while...

This is what I say about a lack of honesty in today's churches. People are indoctrinated with answers...but they don't know the questions. Have you ever seen the billboards that say...Jesus is the answer? Well people have been convinced all they need is answers...not understanding spiritual...

As in....I believe I am...so therefore by my belief..I am. A kind of weird philosophy that seeks for a self-justification. If you say it enough ...you actually start to believe it.

God never let me get away with pride. Those He loves He treats hard. So then how can so many get away with all the pride? They are the ones who claim to be saved the loudest. Could these be exactly wrong?

That's only one side of the equation. The bible also says whoever believes that Jesus has come in the flesh is born of God. And that can be said of anyone who goes to church...including the mafia. I find that people are looking to be saved by reading certain bible verses. And thus deceiving...

That is way out there. eternal life is superimposed on the life of the flesh. The dying is in a life that is alien to God. And walking in the Spirit is where God's operating system kicks in as the flesh system is disabled on the cross. But we go in and out of the Spirit. You have some weird...

You have the finish line in the wrong place. But your explanation is really out there...a la Gnosticism. When the bible says...know no man according to the flesh...that isn't because the person is only Spirit. So you have gone down a rabbit trail and a doozie there bro!

Well...it would seem that many people are reading only the parts of the bible they prefer. Could it be that by reading the whole bible that doctrine is improved?
