In God's case...translation into Zion. Think Enoch!

That's being righteous. People of all religions do this. Loving your neighbour as yourself. Being led by the Spirit is always about doing miraculous things...that no man can do on his own. Walking in the Spirit by abiding in Christ makes us walk EXACTLY as Jesus did...no sin whatsoever.

Notice that the eternal fruit is at different levels of honour...gold, silver and precious stones. Gold would be walking in the light as Jesus did. And precious stones are those times where we are led to do the things that were prepared in advance. (Unsure where silver fits in...but it is...

We can still bear an eternal kind of fruit by being LED by the Spirit...which is far less than walking IN the Spirit (as Jesus did). There is a difference between someone who is abiding in Christ and one who goes to Christ for direction...or is listening to God's voice.

We all follow the Lord from different distances. So few walk in the Spirit...and not too many are led by the Spirit. Many turn to God when He is needed...but are just fine on heir own most of the time.

The bride of Christ is a small subset of the body of Christ. Just like when Eve was taken from one rib of Adam's chest....that which was next to his heart.

A stage and a microphone are for entertainment. The simple gathering of brothers around the Lord is what it is all about. Committing one to another in the fear of the Lord. All the rest is just spectacle and entertainment.

The modern doctrine seeks to take the righteousness away from the righteous and make normal human righteousness to be God's own righteousness. This lowers the standard so much that anyone can claim to be as righteous as God while still being a sinner. AND it denies that others who are doing much...

The whole situation is getting unfringed by the sound of it. Sounds like a fringe group though, in spite of that.

Well, a lot of Messianics hold to that view. The truth is that the saints come from every tribe and tongue and nation. In Christ there is no distinction. They are the bride. The guests are the righteous and these also come from every nation.

I'm reminded of the Monty Python skit where the man is looking to buy an argument with someone. Man, all he had to do was join a church discussion group.

It's actually what you DO with what you have been given. God is NOT a respecter of persons. Many will try the ploy of trying to call out Lord, Lord.

You claim to be regenerated I would guess...and yet you are not good. So it is pointless talking to someone who is both in darkness and prefers to obscure the truth. And you have ceded the point that no person is good. So you are just looking to be disagreeable...which works for you very well.

That's false of course. The bible both refutes your opinions AND identifies what you are doing. When you see through darkness...all appears as dark. But to use the bible to deny the truth written elsewhere in the bible is being willfully blind...as well as being in darkness. Here's just a few...

Sure it does. But the bible also says that Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing. So we can do you have done and take that out of context too and be just as unbalanced in your opinions as yourself. None are as good as God...and without Jesus we can do nothing eternal. So you have to...

People are almost never pure evil or pure good. Most of us fall somewhere in between. But there is a great danger in preaching a false gospel....in spite of the best intentions that would seem to promote the kingdom of God. Remember Uzzah tried to help by steadying the cart that the ark was...

Are you saying that only one person endures to the end? Do you realize that many people run in a race? Are you crowned for just finishing? I think you should watch track and field events to get a better understanding here.

Paul was trying to win Christ. Finishing is about enduring to the end. Do you have the same understanding of spiritual things as Paul? Superior perhaps? Phil : 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have...

I think that social justice is going too far for a Christian. We aren't to prune the trees of sin. They just grow bigger. We are to get to the roots and pull them out. So we need to be connected to God and walk as Jesus walked to affect the kind of revolution that saw the early church overcoming...
