God is honest and truthful. He can't impute righteousness on a person unless He sees that righteousness. This is the religious foolishness that has caused the name of the Lord to be blasphemed in the world. You don't impute barking to a chicken or meowing to a pig. But that is just the kind of...

More of a hospital I'd say...and one that keeps you in your bed (pew) as a perpetual patient. It's the duty of a healthy believer to leave the system and rely on God. My wife and I went through most of the denominations looking for any exceptions. I searched for 10 years...and I still see in...

I think that dogmatic certainties come as a replacement for an actual encounter or walk with God. Many people say they are born again....especially in the US. But how much of that is just hype and cultural church practice? And then there is the issue of baptism in the Spirit? That's even more...

This is SO off....but expected. God doesn't want a religious dogmatic adherence. He wants worshippers in Spirit and truth. Maybe you didn't get the memo? The carnal mind is not with God. We need to break out from the pull of this world and the ready-made certainties that taint the soul. God is...

Maybe you didn't read where I said that Jesus is there in our circles....but He is wanting us to enter into the land of promise. Your attitude suggests that you don't even consider that as a possibility.

You have a refreshing and uncommon understanding of the truth. Welcome here! :)

This is an example of what I'm saying. You should realize that all certainties come from the human mind. The ways of God are mysterious..and we never truly know ourselves as God does. So we can't trust our self-interested ideas. It is foolishness to do so. Instead we should get oil for our lamps...

Nobody follows Jesus in a circle. His ways are always new. The newness of life. So instead of revisiting the same things over and over with Christ we are constantly exploring new ground. IOW the way of Christ is not just "all things are become new" and but all things continue to be new. This is...

When you follow both the Holy Spirit and the word of God you are set free from any ideological prison or circular reasoning that most modern believers get caught up in. People prefer dogmatic beliefs to a living faith. They prefer what is familiar to all things becoming new...and continuing to...

Why are we plagued with so many dogmatic certainties and religious opinions? The ego driven agenda would put these as more important than love and unity. They are things to squabble over rather than coming to any kind of agreement. Is this not carnal? So I have identified, more or less a few...

...just with spiritual Christians it seems. o_O

The half-baked kind! :)

Ouch! What denomination were they? ;)

But this could also have been said about the Germans during the Nazi regime. They were so focused on their own lives they didn't notice how evil the society had become.

And nasty is a fruit of a religious bent...not of Christ. A lot of fakeness going on these days to be sure.

In your scheme then you are saying that all sinners are saved?...or just the ones that spell Jesus' name correctly?...or have their religious ducks in a row to fill out a political questionnaire about doctrinal preferences? Or are we all going to reap what we sow...and God will judge everyone...

Too often the religious institutions are just repositories of spiritual diseases, infections, and contamination. I mean, here the devil has everybody that could threaten him in one place. (And that's nothing to sneeze at)

So then love the hell out of the sinner.

Christian music is the same as non-Christian music. Just like Christian English is the same as non-Christian English. Nobody becomes a skilled Christian musician. Nobody becomes a Christian English specialist. Learn the language of music...humbly...and make music to the Lord that way. God does...

So who are in the "nations of they who are saved" ? No amount of dogmatic ideology (neo-political conservatism) that you like so much can explain this.
