This parable is about the righteous....who are scarcely saved. Only the saints produce actual fruit that is rewardable. Notice the difference in this parable with the others about the talents or pounds. Without understanding the kingdom of God, the bible remains a huge enigma. But once you...

Amen. Blessed is she that believes and has not seen.

LOL...you have no idea what I'm talking about and it kind of bugs you. The other alternative is that you would be jealous that others have had more experience with God than you (which I'm sure your pride bristles at the very idea of). We can always know your position of things by looking at...

You are simply denying the truth to support an armchair opinion that you use to justify yourself. And you hate any kind of truth that challenges those smug assumptions. You deny any knowledge of God that does not pass through your mind first. Limiting God? Oh my... You have no fear of the...

Another huge error is in the false conclusion of being "saved" as a status. A cursory bible study on this subject shows that salvation is mainly about being delivered in our daily troubles. Salvation is deliverance. Jesus said in His famous prayer...deliver (save) us from evil. THAT is the...

A sad misunderstanding among believers today is what it means to be in Christ. We are to abide in Christ....walk in Christ....bear eternal fruit in Christ. This is taken to mean that since Jesus is in us through regeneration, that means we are automatically IN Christ. So there is a confusion...

You are confusing gnosticism...which you actually espouse. with "epignosis" which I am displaying. It is true knowledge of the living God. Epignosis Bible / Epiginosko Epigraphe The NAS New Testament Greek Lexicon Strong's Number: 1922 Browse Lexicon Original Word Word Origin...

But the condition of that eternity is to walk in eternal life and power now. If we overcome as Jesus overcame (instead of this silly doctrine that Jesus overcame for us or instead of us) then God will allow us to rule with Christ. People that are betting on a good outcome for a mediocre...

The height of foolishness: 1. If you don't believe in gravity then you can fly. 2. If you don't believe in the rapture then you will miss it. (wishful thinking among the smug purveyors of selfish religious beliefs)

We can also draw the wrong conclusions when we don't have spiritual experiences or visitations. God knows what to give us....and when. It is better to believe without seeing. We may not be able to handle the responsibility of seeing so much. So that the visitation of one person is meant for...

Besides getting the bible wrong....we also do the same thing with spiritual experiences. As in...I have experienced such and such miraculous provision or visitation...therefore (add in erroneous conclusion here). God gives us samples of things to bring us into His life. It's about life, not...

Yes, every denomination. It shows how ineffectual statements of faith are. It's about the attitude. There is no statement or organization that can alter an attitude. It's a heart thing. It's something we each need to take seriously.

Now if I was to list all the wrong conclusions people make when reading the bible here...I would die of old age before completing the list. Yes, there is that much delusion in the church. And there doesn't seem to be any way to bring back the truth as something valuable and precious. Instead the...

When we buy a property, we can claim that everything on that property is now ours. We have this thing about ownership. We see something and we ask...how much does it cost? We do the same thing with the bible. We purchase a bible...or get a free copy...and then proceed to do the same thing with...

What is the work of Christ? Is God not taking us to the next level of His workmanship? If we are willing to let go of what we presently have...that is? That is OUR part. Letting go and letting God. So what is that next level of His creation for us? From the power of the flesh to the power of...

I'm sorry brother...I sometimes forget that I mustn't think I'm responding to just the person writing the OP. Thank you.

I was being foolish trying to cite actual scripture to an emotional person who ignores logic and truth.

More faulty reasoning. This is just an attempt to exploit for personal gain what Jesus did for all mankind. The way to take hold of this sacrifice is to sacrifice oneself and FOLLOW CHRIST in His death so as to partake in His resurrection life. Phil. 3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of...

If you only read the bible...you would see how you are being sentimental but fully unbiblical here. Have you not yet experienced the power of the cross?...but only read about or saw a movie about Jesus and His passion? But look at the bible... He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree...

Did what all? You are missing the point of the death and resurrection of Jesus with your focus on yourself.....and what God can do for you. Jesus died for the sins of ALL men. To be WITH Christ...if you are at all interested in that...you must also die with Him. So the cross FOR YOUR salvation...
