    ADDING WORKS:

    You are smokescreening again. Get it over with...tell us plainly... Are we to follow the teachings of Jesus? Are Gentiles to seek the kingdom of God? Try to be honest...

    ADDING WORKS:

    Correct me if I'm wrong....but you get offended with HR because he has such a disdain for the righteousness which is of God. But you shouldn't take it personally. But rather pray for him...and they who see...or don't see...as he does. The blind can be made to see. The ears of the deaf can be...

    ADDING WORKS:

    A very good post and point. There is this disconnect between "feelings" and "evidence". It is a smokescreen.... a salesman's trick to suggest that a lack of evidence is just a lack of feelings. So if a man prays to raise up a dead person...but that dead person doesn't arise...does that mean...

    ADDING WORKS:

    What have you been smoking...or drinking? ;) Nobody believes what you are saying about the law of Moses. Everything you say of me is true of you. You are fully misrepresenting the case for the true gospel. You are against obedience to Christ...the words of Jesus Christ... you almost admitted...

    ADDING WORKS:

    So your testimony is that you do not have the Holy Spirit working through you. You are as any man without God...but with an opinion ABOUT God. So you walk in your own power and not by the Spirit. Your error is so big...because it is fundamental. You are limited to a man's walk WITHOUT God...

    Please explain this.

    Good post... Right on about the OT. And in the NT we have this new element..this new kind of life and walk...introduced in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. A seemingly obscure man but from heaven. And this event in history changes everything. Matthew 13:17 17 for assuredly, I say to you that...

    Can't find an old thread of mine. Help please

    Thank you for for fine and kind words! You are a blessing. :) <><

    I am wrong, I am the sinner

    This makes no sense. Where does the sin nature stay alive if we have died to it? There is a reality gap here. Accepting bible verses as truth is one thing. Learning how they actually work together in reality is another. Is this another way to say that humans can't stop sinning by grace?

    Subtracting Works

    The house of God has already passed through judgment by the time the GWT judgment comes around. 1,000 years before. The Bema seat judgment. So you are mixing in two judgments into one. Judgment begins at the house of God. Israel as a nation would have already been judged along with the...

    ADDING WORKS:

    Actually HR teaches that we are not to OBEY Christ...just make Him our sacrifice. Otherwise it's works according to him. Ask him yourself.

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    O the show, the spectacle..the circus like atmosphere.. it's just....not really very deep. If the modern denominations are like fast food franchises...then Osteen's church is Dairy Queen.

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    At a certain level....very beginner level...he would be within the scope of what is acceptable. But it's still not the gospel. So he's a gospel preppy of sorts. Candy floss theology.

    Are Joel Osteen and his wife really Christians?

    Sure they are. At least they represent the very face of the modern church. They preach a message that appeals to the masses..a wider road to salvation. This thread is no place to begin deconstructing their message. Some of which is good...some of it questionable and some downright false. A...

    Subtracting Works

    Not at all. That doesn't even make any sense. This is not a judgment of the church. Jesus calls the ones who were helped (or not) MY brethren...not YOUR brethren. All the nations will be gathered for judgment. None of these are Christians. It is the world...not God's house being judged. There...

    ADDING WORKS:

    Grace empowers us to do as Jesus did. So then of ourselves we can do nothing. But in Christ we can do ALL things. Do you not deny this? As He is so are we in this world. No difference...when we are IN Him. In Him is NO sin. So then WE become the righteousness of God IN Him. Not...Jesus keeps...

    ADDING WORKS:

    The commandments of God are to love as Jesus loved...to be holy as God is holy...and be perfect as God is perfect. God said to Abram....walk before Me and be perfect. How much more then can God expect from us who walk in Christ and the power of His resurrection? Put more simply ...he who...

    Subtracting Works

    Phoneman777 is right. The word states that it is by works that the righteous are saved. Look closely at Mat. 25 sheep/goats judgment. What was the criteria for salvation? The works done to the lest of Christ's brethren. These were not believers themselves...but were justified by their...

    Why didnt the Protestant Reformation unite.

    Just as God confused the language of they who sought to make a name for themselves at Babel (Babylon) by uniting under their own purpose....so God has confused the understanding of religious ideologists by making the bible difficult to understand ...properly. Look at all the possible...

    And who is part of or is to be a part of the Body of Christ?

    Yes. We take on the role of God's people as we are given both the calling and the grace to do so. But let every person take heed to HOW he/she goes about it. If God didn't spare the natural branches....
