Sin that leads to death is any sin that takes you away from God's presence. Of course very few have ever experienced that kind of walk so they wouldn't know what sins that pertains to...since they are already absent from the Lord's presence.

The idea of an "afterlife" is a religious construct adopted by a dogmatic Christendom from Norse mythology and other such pagan religions. To the disciple of Christ, eternal life starts right now...otherwise it isn't an eternal life. When we live in the Spirit we shall continue in the presence...

The idea of being "saved" is a human interpretation and tradition based on an oversimplified ideology meant to fill pews. We are in a race...where there are winners...to honour....and losers...to dishonour. So your whole premise is wrong from the beginning. No one finishes the race before it's...

Whoa...that's a surprise and a half! :) But amen!

That is an ideology that leaves out half of the truth. What about all who will be cut off? Half of the virgins with lamps are rejected. The Laodiceans are spit up and out. The truth is that a Christian with a new birth is equivalent to a Jew with a natural birth. In Christ there is no...

No one begins the new life with maturity. So then sinning is almost inevitable for they who are born again...until trials and suffering bring more wisdom. So yes, a born again person can still sin...but not when abiding in Christ. In Him is NO sin.

If you are an alien in this world....what world are you native to? If one day you think you will emigrate from this world to be a future citizen of heaven...doesn't that still make you of this earth in the meantime? Do you realize you can walk in the Spirit and actually be aware of heaven now...

I am trying to connect with brothers. But there is something un-brotherly in the way...a lack of honesty and transparency. There is a great deal of false doctrine, brainwashing and dogmatic triumphalism that has spoiled the church. But many cling to that as if it was of God rather than from...

By objective truth do you mean the person of Jesus Christ? It's too easy to try bringing God down to our level. But the results are not that good. The ready-made doctrines that we receive are in low resolution. IOW they need to be unpacked. When we send a big file over the internet we compress...

If you put enough people on "ignore" you can have a safe environment. :) But then how are people going to see where they are in error? After all we are talking about people's souls. In this world we will have tribulation and trials. But what's that compared to the reward of being with the Lord...

I think nowadays the churches are happy to be the pillar and ground of "A" truth. Or they are purveyors of religious "facts." But there is no power in these. The truth is alive in the person of Christ. If we don't have the living Christ in our midst then we are just a religious social...

The pearl is that relationship we can have with Christ. But to have it we need to be where He is...so we need to break with this world (sell all) and be in the kingdom realm that God translates us into. When we are in that realm (spiritual) we can have fellowship with Jesus and the Father. We...

Are you seeking a balance between the carnal mind and the mind of Christ? When you boil down the truth from the actual person of Jesus Christ you get facts about the truth...not truth itself. And facts don't set you free or give you life.

If only your reasoning wasn't exactly backwards. When people decide they are of God for themselves they leave God and reality out of the equation. God recruits people into His kingdom...not us. Nobody walks into a job and says...ok I'm working here now. We need to be hired...equipped and given...

The irony is that they who don't claim they have talking bibles that speak to them...can be justified. It's the religious ones who claim their bibles are justifying them....the ones who are deluded into thinking the bible speaks to them...these are not justified. We have a generation of...

All the churches of today are based on religious ideologies...not spiritual life. The itching ears have already had their say. But if you are satisfied in a dead church...be my guest.

Truth is about life...the eternal kind of life. Dogmatics is about theories posited by religious beliefs...formulated into an ideology. If you don't have love what is the point? Communists and fascists also die for their causes.

It seems that way...if you are looking that way. God has allowed for people to get it wrong. If something can be misinterpreted...it will be!

That's it. The opposite of chaos is not control ("get smart" notwithstanding). Chaos needs order not control. The church is to provide order. Control is going way too far. Quenching the Spirit.

But the bible is not talking to you personally. That is what dogmatic reasoning does. You are not Abraham...and you are not Paul...and not even an early believer that Paul was addressing. So only a self-interest would claim something like that without a real walk in holiness. And even...
