Please do and welcome here... :)

The RC have their sensual stimuli....and the evangelicals their emotional stimuli. Biblical faith is always seen in the miraculous, however. A human belief leaves things as they are. But a biblical faith brings along the miraculous. If it doesn't, then we are still stuck in what men can do...

Actually the bible does both. The problem with an un-crucified man is that his ego grows along with his knowledge....because the outer man has not been dealt with. Only when the outer man is out of the way....can the inner man lay hold of the truth and grow. Before we can add...we must...

Very good! If I try to explain that God wants nothing to do with the outward man...but wants a connection with the weak inward man, very few will listen. People will reject that weakness...not because they are not really weak...but because they only know how to identify with a prideful outward...

I am promoting spiritual clarity into the carnal confusion. You are not taking Jesus seriously when He says the the true condition of the end times church (Laodicea) is an unclothed inner man. The very lack of understanding of this true condition is exemplified by your reaction. The truth is...

Here is a sinister irony. Religion seeks to bridge the gap between God and people. Religion gives people a name and promises based on adherence to it. One of these names is "Christian." But religion IS that gap. When we fall into religion...we fall into the breach. So then rather than...

I have been to many churches where people are encouraged to put on a religious persona...a posturing...a religious cocoon...through an indoctrination that causes people to "feel" Christian among others who are likewise swept up in the emotional experience. All this is a religious veneer...

The kind of knowledge that is lacking is not bible knowledge....the kind that puffs people up. But it is the knowledge of oneself...as well as the ways of God that are lacking. In many ways we don't realize how we offend God by grieving His Spirit...or quenching His Spirit. We don't see how we...

...and yet without that extraordinary experience there would be no scripture. Paradox. And the scriptures testify of a God that visits people with extraordinary experience and gives them grace which is extraordinary power by the Spirit. All in all....extraordinary!

On the righteousness level this is very true. Human character is respected by all. Courage, honesty, gentleness, patience...etc. It is authority that people rebel against. So they rebel against holiness and light....which exposes their darkness. No one who loves darkness likes being exposed by...

The life is in the blood. What justifies us is that we partake of His blood. We know we have done that as we walk in His life. The life is in the blood. So then our justification is a life for a life. As we walk in His life, power and love....we are justified before God in His holiness of...

On textualism from "Keys to the Deeper Life" by A. W. Tozer... "The error of textualism is not doctrinal. It is far more subtle than that and much more difficult to discover, but its effects are just as deadly. Not its theological beliefs are at fault, buts its assumptions. It assumes, for...

There is the message and there is the power. It is the power that saves...not the message. The message is about the power. The power of the cross gets the natural man out of the way so that the inner man can be clothed with the power to walk as Jesus walked. But you are just into word...

This is an indoctrination mantra....that has no real power in truth. It is a memorized mantra that can only brain-wash the person who repeats it over and over and over again.

The same love as Jesus...between ourselves. We are to always walk in that love. The world rejects that love. But the brethren are mightily encouraged by it. We are to also look after each other...in both spiritual and earthly needs.

Jesus fully realized the full amount of power we need to overcome all things at the cross for us. But we must now walk in that power by faith. The proof that we have the faith of Christ is that we walk in the same life that He did.

People are capable of the greatest delusions. What is it that makes assurance possible? Assuming (by a human religious reasoning) that we can claim all the good sounding bible verses for ourselves? Realizing we are walking in the same power that Jesus did...in spiritual life? If we have been...

How are we to be saved? By living a life that is pleasing to God.

We are responsible for the state of things in the world. A world in darkness needs light. We are to provide that light. But we are so self-centered in our ways. We are losing our own battles let alone be victorious in the world. We are a people divided along carnal lines. We have left off being...

...or even...insufficient. Who wants to hear that their efforts in this life towards godliness were insufficient?
