I'll cut into the dance. :) There is no cookie cutter answer to that question. It depends what level of salvation one is speaking of. For a saint...no human works are possible to attain to Christ. It is Christ in us. For the saved of the nations in the next age who are judged for their HUMAN...

Yes...I thought so. Recognized that 1st century racoon. :) Welcome back.

Yes, there were the righteous and the prophets...as Jesus said. But Jesus took things to a whole new level...like adding an upper room to a building...if you understand my meaning. Matthew 13:17 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see...

Exposed again! ;) Actually it depends how you see things whether for yourself or for God. Now we live in a very selfish society..and add to that our own selfish carnal nature....and the gospel is sure to be flipped around in it's purpose. Do we see Christianity as an end....which serves...

In the end Dispensationalism is just a fancy way to ignore the commands from God we don't like. It is just another way to privately interpret the bible in a way that suits us. We don't like the way Jesus treated the rich young man?...telling him to forsake all he had in order to follow Jesus...

All the OT saints were led by the Spirit. God spoke to them to direct them into His will. So in this way we could say they were prophets. God chose righteous people and took them into His confidence. God likes to try improving on the fruit He sees...so that this might bear MORE fruit. So He...

God is so faithful. :) .80 cents. That's like a whole Canadian dollar's worth. Time to splurge! :) But seriously...praise the Lord....and keep resting in the Lord! :)

Just look at how popular an easy and gentle message is. A huge amount of followers. If you add in more truth...the cross of Christ...the numbers dwindle down to a large extent. If you go into one by one discipleship, you can usually count the people with your fingers. But it must be so. It...

There was a case where a group of Jewish volunteers beat up a black homosexual man so badly that he lost an eye. So really this is a law against vigilantism. The volunteers are supposed to help police the streets in their part of town...but this can turn quickly into a gang mentality. So then...

In both Hebrew and Greek, the word for faith is also the word for faithfulness. IOW it is assumed that one who believes in something will actually do it as it's supposed to be done. James is merely pointing that out. We could say that James was saying that faith divorced from faithfulness is...

Heresy means division...bringing a division among disciples. The devil wants nothing more than to see the body of Christ to be fragmented. As they say...divide and conquer. But there is a problem with identifying heresy. When there is a time where the truth speakers are in the minority....as...

The righteous are scarcely saved...into the nations in the next age. The saints are abundantly saved and rule over the nations in the next age from the holy city. Also among the nations are the poor and they who died too young or were oppressed in this life. There are many many in the nations...

This is as false as can be. It's no wonder you react so strongly to the truth. You are WAY out there...accusing God of of doing what evil men did. Apply all your censures to yourself. That would be the beginning of some discernment for you. Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate...

Here's the thing. This is not a church fellowship where heresy is censored or church discipline applies. As long as the heresy doesn't break forum rules how can it be corrected? God has ordained that the wheat and chaff grow together. That the grain and the pebbles remain in the sieve. There...

This was only true before Jesus Christ. You didn't get the memo? Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. He made all men ONE in Him. There is now no distinction between Jew and non-Jew.

All people are not under grace. That is a universalist error. There are two standards that God will judge by. Holiness...and righteousness.The church will be judged against holiness (Be holy for I am holy) And the world will be judged by how they treated (loved) their neighbours. (The royal...

There are many spiritual believers that don't understand how God will judge the world...outside the church. Some will read about the BEMA judgment in 1 Cor. 3....and assume ALL people will be saved...even as through fire. But this is to mistake the judgment of God's house with that of the...

It's just that believers are not judged along with the world. There is a different standard to grace than to the law. 1 Cor. 5:12 What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? There is a judgment for those who are inside the...

A warning to the OP 1 Tim. 6: 3, 4 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for...

Don't be discouraged Mark....just put the offending person on "ignore"....we live in a world of filthiness. We can't just leave the planet. Part of the training of a seeker of God is to learn how to cope with the unsavoury elements who do violence to the law of God. We have not suffered the...
