    The Difference Between Fundamentalist (SOME) and The Rest Of Us.

    Thank you. Good to be back! Learned a lot about self-indulgence! :) It was a good time with Dot...meeting people and enjoyed the ocean. But also God spoke to me about the human condition that seeks to indulge in the pleasures of this temporal life. So I could love the people even while I saw the...

    The Difference Between Fundamentalist (SOME) and The Rest Of Us.

    We all indulge our flesh to some degree...unless we are crucified AWAY from our own strength...and into His. Many Christians seek to please God and pray about what God's will is...even on a daily or even hourly basis. And this is a good thing. But even here there will be some...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Rev. 14:7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” Ro 3:18 "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES." 1Pe 2:17 Honor all men; love the brotherhood, fear God...

    I don't answer foolish questions. When a person shows a complete ignorance (lack of knowledge) of biblical truth...as if that person actually didn't read the bible at all...then how can I explain that the opposite is true? You would have to take your own statements...and disprove them by...

    The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom. Seeing you are far removed from this truth....where does that put you on the scale of wisdom?

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    You are actually making yourself to be far more spiritual than you are...having far more insight than you possess. You have turned the truth into a lie. So of course you will try giving very bad advice. ;) What makes you a "phd" in theology...your lack of esteem for others? Or your idea of...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Seeking God's righteousness is not to try to take on His righteousness for ourselves. That is a selfish quest. And we cannot take on His righteousness anyway...it is God that lays His Spirit on us so that we have that kind of authority....to become His ministers and ambassadors on earth. But...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    So which is it? If she obeys her parents as the commandment says...she remains a Hindu (at least when she's young). But your dogmatism says that they are all going to hell anyway because their belief system isn't accurate. So at what age is she damned to hell by a loving God? in your opinion.... ;)

    John 5:39 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (the living Jesus and the living God...in real life.)

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    You are living in a paper bible...but I'm trying to wake you up into the real world. You don't yet understand the bible. Can you say...indoctrination? How many verses do you live in all day? Do you consult the bible in order to dress in the morning? What about food. Is peanut butter biblical...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    If you could just be accurate and tell us at what age is a little Hindu girl damned to hell forever by obeying and honouring her parents? From birth? By age 12? Is she saved by dishonouring her parents and refusing to follow their religion? please explain how you see the bible explaining...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    But all the works of Jesus could not fit into all the books of the world. You would be so dogmatic as to limit God to one book? If God says...go to Cleveland!...does that go "against" the bible? Do you not understand who God is? Is He locked in a small book? And why are you so afraid of...

    Actually no more so than to declare one's own righteousness through one's beliefs.

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    That's not true. God is just as available today as before. The alternative to fellowship with God is to go to men to be indoctrinated into an excuse to NOT have to go directly to God. So men declare themselves justified because they haven't yet encountered God. Those who have encountered God...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    I am trying to teach very basic things here...and hardly getting anywhere because of religious indoctrinations that cause pride and arrogance...and ultimately condemnation from God. It is for the good of others that I post. So they can flee from that which displeases the Lord.

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    See the arrogance that indoctrination brings. Claim it and be judged by THAT standard. So if you fail at the law of God...you will be judged for it. What about humility? Pray about it.

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Most believers steer always the same course...either always tuning left or always turning right. So they go in circles all their lives. (of course some will stick with somewhere in the middle and cling to that course until they hit a rock or cliff...only to sink or be shipwrecked. The point is...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Why do you compare the things of God with a man-made opinion? Where do you think Calvin got his unbalanced view from? From the truth. So then the truth SOMETIMES sounds like what Calvin spoke of...and SOMETINES sounds like what Arminius spoke of. But neither is right. Again...if you can't...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Actually your verse is not saying what you think...the work of God is NOT what you can do. God's work is ...that you believe TO Jesus. To enter INTO Him. No one can believe TO Jesus...to be where He is...unless taken there by the Father. It is God's power that does this. if you are not where...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    A born again person has a renewed conscience....so that they become as the righteous ones...like children in regards to evil. Now they can serve righteousness...and maybe even go further and enter into Christ...if they seek hard for that. But where do we go from a new birth? To an...
