The third kind of ground that the seed fell among thorns. Luke 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. Now we who are rich modern Westerners have...

Is Jesus a minister of sin? Of course not. We seek then to enter into Him as our salvation from sin. This is what Paul sought for...to win Christ. To cast off everything that He once thought had any value...to become as a fool...to suffer the loss of all things...to seek with all his heart and...

I am quoting what people have said...born again sinners...and bible followers. I don't talk about salvation...that is your indoctrination. I don't have any indoctrination...but you can't see that so you pin one on me...according to your lack of understanding. You think you are saved by reading...

All false. You are on ignore because you are self-willed and false...even as you try appearing as loving (with your signature) and fooling others ...that you have anything but a vain religious attitude.

I thought you believed in the authority of the bible? I am the one saying that the devil uses it...which you don't understand. ...and you have believed the satanic version...and your blindness is that you think you have the truth. So how do you get out of the hole you are in...unless you...

The bible says eh? So says you as interpreter. But the actual bible says "we" are dead to sin....meaning that sin has no power over us at all. We can enter into Christ at any time...by faith. But God must accept our sacrifice. The bible says that God says...You will FIND Me when you seek Me...

Do you see that you are making this an either or? A zero sum game. I normally don't answer people twice as all they have to do is re-read my post to get the answer. I find the reading comprehension skills very poor here on the forum. And these are expected to understand the bible? I don't...

It's always a zero sum game isn't it with people. I study the bible perhaps more than anyone on this forum....yet I esteem the Spirit more highly as He gives me actual life in Christ.Studying the bible is useful if one uses this not INSTEAD of walking in the power of God. So the very verses you...

Actually this thread is not about growth in Christ...but growth in the bible...which leads to many various doctrines...none of which leads to life.

How wise was it to say such a thing on a forum where so many are devoid of the Spirit and are looking to exalt a book while grieving the Holy Spirit? What led you to do that? The flesh always looks for a way to disregard the truth.

LOL You would reproduce other bible followers as you. But there is no life in it. The bible points us to Christ so we can follow Him...outside of the bible. We are not to grow in the bible...or bible knowledge for it's own sake. Knowledge puffs up but love edifies. (that's in the bible) So...

I see speaking to you really as generating strife because you have no idea what you're talking about. I have made clear (I think they are clear enough) posts...which you have taken pot-shots at...without addressing anything honestly from an idea or a biblical verse. What is there to take...

To rightly divide the word of truth. :) Yes! I'm hoping you're not just a biblicist who is looking for salvation in a book but an actual disciple of Christ. VERY rare these days. I don't think people are agreeing with you the right way. The easy fix. These seek a way to continue to just keep...

If the bible was authoritative of itself then the devil's use of it towards Jesus would have been final. No rebuttal would have been possible. Jesus responded with words ALSO from the bible...by the Spirit...the combination of which was authoritative. But there are some here that recognize, as...

Yes. It just so happens that the modern religion of many is Christianity. Not that this in any way means that it is lived in any way. Very good points Reggie!

Yes...the mysterious sheepdog verse that the "bible-adherents" claim exists...but just not in the bible. ;) It is ever a wonder that they who claim to "follow the bible"...as if it was a god...a paper god...don't actually know it, or understand it or take it seriously. Bible followers are NOT...

Is. 26:10 Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD. This fits to a tee those who come into the church...the land of righteousness...yet these are not able to learn...

Mat. 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Now it is...

Greetings! Now I hope we all know the parable of the sower. Heavenly seed being sown into the world ....with 4 possible kinds of ground receiving it (or not), only one of which bears a lasting and perfect fruit. And have we not all thought or entertained the idea at some point that we...

It is evident from scriptures that Jesus was always in God and became a separate person while maintaining all the attributes of God. Like taking a glass of water from a lake. Same essence. Although the lake of water is greater than the glass of water. As such Jesus could be joined with His...
