    The Manifestating

    Keep being misguided and obscure? We need to encourage people to be more transparent and clear in their postings...even if that means dis-agreement...at least at first. Then we can get to taking apart the logic that led errors to come into being...with patience and prayer. We can do no less. I...

    The Manifestating

    Ok...finally a clear answer. :) (see, that wasn't that hard) Can you see how your reasoning doesn't work? You are teaching something that doesn't hold any water. You are saying we cannot be free from sin...and yet offer advice on how to do so...seeing their deaths in Christ...in contradiction...

    The Manifestating

    I think when you say "outward saviour"...a term you are really making up...you mean a political saviour. The Jews were looking for a nationalistic leader...like Bar Kochba...who became what they believed was the messiah who would break the yoke of the Romans. When you say an "inward " saviour...

    Warnings to the churches about gaining eternal death

    The issue is not about what Jesus is lacking but what we are doing with the love of Jesus. We shall each give an account of our deeds before Him on judgment day. Then we will see who loved the Lord more than their own lives. Jesus did His part. Now it's our turn. Through Him we can continue His...

    The Simple Gospel of Grace:

    How many will be taken in by the false gospel bring presented...that is ABOUT grace...as opposed to the true gospel of the kingdom which is ACCORDING to grace. IOW a gospel in the power of God. Grace fulfills the law or else it is a false idea of grace.

    What is that supposed to mean? :) Another artwork manisfestating itself. An inward saviour? The sheer vagueness of that. Of course who would believe in someone who could save us from our sins...even exterior sins? Like it says in the bible. But the truth sounds too direct...too understandable.

    The Manifestating

    And yet the very vagueness of the OP means that a person can say whatever they wish and this has no bearing on any possibility of sabotage. There is only danger involved where the truth can be misapplied or misappropriated to mean something it doesn't.

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    You need to understand what the issue is first. When the good folks over at Ford motor company finish making a car and it rolls off the assembly line they can say with some measure of satisfaction..."it is finished." But that doesn't mean the car is in someone's ownership yet. A person has to...

    The Manifestating

    I see the OP like a work of art that one stands back and admires from a distance. What does it mean to convey? Well that's really up to the observer. It can mean different things to different people...as in...what is YOUR truth? The vagueness allows people to add in their own creative expression...

    The Manifestating

    I think "manifestating" is where you say a bunch of things that are very vague but sound good even though they are just empty slogans ...and these being proclaimed repeatedly...over and over. Whereas "manifesting" means something real is being brought out. And it can be explained and questions...

    The Manifestating

    I hope that one day you will actually come into the experience of what you are trying to so vaguely convey. It brings MORE confusion to everyone when people post theories that have no power in them.

    The Manifestating

    Before you post...you need to go before God, find out the meaning of things...and then present your findings CLEARLY....so as to edify others. Being vague just shows that you are posting for reasons unknown. And you seem unable to clearly answer a simple question. If you are unable to be...

    The Manifestating

    This is all so vague. Do you believe that in Christ is no sin...and that those who enter into Him do not sin...and cannot sin...as long as they remain IN Him? Or do you think, as the modern doctrine goes, that we will always sin in these bodies as long as we are alive on earth...in spite of...

    What Does It Mean to be Dead in Christ?

    When a person enters into Christ...or should I say...AS a person enters into Christ...they die. The part of us that was in control of opinions and ways of thinking...is crucified...in order to make room for the life and Headship of Christ in the person. So we could say... I am dead in...

    Believers need to understand the Truth

    Amen. Obedience is required in the ongoing process of salvation. We are BEING saved...working out our salvation. Of course there is a past, present and future tense to salvation...since it is a ONGOING work of both God...AND us (by co-operation and willingness and obedience). Likewise there is a...

    Welcome here DS! :) What would you call the style of music you do?

    A Most Neglected Letter

    What is your interpretation of the word "require?" Is this not a word with a meaning that all can understand....or do you speak vaguely so that people can interpret what they wish? Why even write anything?

    A Most Neglected Letter

    You freely stated that you were required to believe what you do...for promised benefits. Rejoicing is a whole other thing.

    God's Righteousness Through Faith

    Amen...Judaism has been made obsolete. There is no need to become a Jew in order to be a Christian. We are not to be under the law...but under grace.

    The Don Quixote Syndrome

    2 Tim. 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Must we lose our ability to reason in order to follow Christ? Now many would say yes...thinking that ALL reasoning comes from the carnal mind. But this isn't so. There is a carnal...
