    MATTHEW 25:30 THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT ******

    You are making the wicked servant good and the good servants wicked. The servant who buried his talent did nothing with it....he bore no fruit. That is the measure of grace that God's servants are given. But to whom much is given....more is required. We are to bear the fruit thereof. God is...

    "We fight not against flesh and blood" is strictly New Testament!

    That's right. The church is supposed to be a spiritual powerhouse that displaces the evil principalities in heavenly places.

    MATTHEW 25:30 THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT ******

    Jesus doesn't flip back and forth between God's kingdom and the devil's. That's in your head. Look there for the confusion.

    MATTHEW 25:30 THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT ******

    I am speaking of a Jesus that teaches the kingdom of God by the use of parables. Do you really think that Jesus was teaching about the devil's kingdom by His parables?

    The Elect?

    Totally backwards logic. It doesn't say ....and the gospel will be preached in all Israel and then the end will come. It is to ALL NATIONS. So you have it backwards. First the natural...THEN the spiritual (but not back again to the natural as you would have it) Read more about what "ALL...

    MATTHEW 25:31 SHEEP AND GOATS

    This is way off.... The sheep did not recognize the Lord's brethren yet did them well. That means they are not OF the brethren themselves. Think on it. Jesus says MY brethren...not YOUR brethren. We will ALL be judged by our deeds....not beliefs.

    MATTHEW 25:31 SHEEP AND GOATS

    Apples and oranges. The sheep/goat judgment is for the world. The 10 virgins is about the followers of Christ.

    The Gospel

    If I say....the gospel is the power of salvation in them that believe...everyone will agree. If I say...the gospel is the power of salvation over sin in them that believe...less than half will agree. People want to be able to sin without penalty...because they are ignorant of grace and it's...

    The Gospel

    Doctrines are along set lines. There are teachings that are circulating that take away from the truth. All false doctrines seek to undermine Christ...it is anti-Christ...either by denying the power of God exists or else to deny that a person can walk by it.

    The Gospel

    I have a knack of finding out where someone is coming from. When people react violently to the truth...then that is a good indicator. This false gospel of his has been sown as tares in the field. Some people just can't tell the difference between what brings life and what brings death. I am...

    The Gospel

    Mr. H believes that God has made a scheme whereby if one puts their carnal faith in Jesus for salvation IN sin....then that's the gospel. But salvation is away from sin. It is freedom from every bondage. For something like this to be real is offensive to mr. H. He calls this salvation by...

    The Gospel

    You are misrepresenting the Lord here...and teaching falsehood. I don't expect you to be happy about being exposed as such. The way of life is narrow and difficult. The wide road leads to death. There is no easy wide road that leads to life. What makes the hard road easy is the grace of God...

    So, What is our personal standing?

    Yes....we are exchanging the things of this world for eternal things. And the exchange rate is out of this world! ;)

    The Gospel

    Then why don't you believe Him? Believing in a misreading of Paul won't save you. You are adding in the making of Jesus into an idol to be venerated instead of simply obeyed.

    The Gospel

    Jesus came to set us free from the bondage of sin. That's what He accomplished on the cross....and by His resurrection. Now we can walk as He did and do as He taught us. To suggest that Jesus was just an unknowing participant in a salvation that only Paul would bring the fulness of....is...

    Who is your Apostle?

    Peter warned us about those who would twist the meaning of Paul's message to their own destruction. You are making a classic case for this by fully ignoring the wholesome words of Jesus. 1 Tim. 6:3 If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ...

    The Gospel

    Exactly. You are not agreeing with Jesus. You have cobbled together a flesh supremacist group based on a misreading of Paul....who will condemn you for it. The good news of Jesus is according to the kingdom of God that Jesus preached. We will all be judged by our works....our beliefs count for...

    If's...

    There is no one time salvation for all time. That is the gross error perpetrated on the church by agents of the enemy. Christianity is a walk....not just one step. The bible doesn't say....take a step into the decision of the Spirit. It says WALK in the Spirit....so as to overcome the...

    MATTHEW 25:30 THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT ******

    Why all this talk as Jews being God's servants...as opposed to the universal covenant of grace to the entire world? A talent in the parable is a measure of grace. We are meant to bring a return on God's investment in us in the form of fruit that lasts. To whom much is given, more is required.

    MATTHEW 25:31 SHEEP AND GOATS

    The sheep are people from all nations who loved and cared for the brethren of Jesus among them. God's people are spiritual Israel. This is across all ethnicities, tribes and languages. .
