The fact that this isn't obvious to many people here...is shocking.

What I have an issue with is the purpose and content of the gospel being subverted. Jesus preached that the kingdom of God was at hand. People who look to the outer man and the flesh only understand things as being physical. There is no understanding of spiritual things. So then...

You are mixing up my posts with the OP. I am saying that there is but one Lord and One Gospel. You are saying they are different by supporting H. Richard...who believes that the gospel of the kingdom is a false gospel.

Ok Tell me what you see that I'm missing. I'm open to that. I'm a seeker. :)

Let's go with the biblical definition. The kind that moves God and does miracles.

This is why we should not respond to mockers. Religious mockers at that. Please put me on your ignore list. Imagine being so out of touch as to compare knowing Christ...which all Christians should...to claiming to BE Christ. (As if only Christ can encounter Christ). Such a lame argument for...

Do not equate church attendance, claims and such as meaning that person was participating in the faith.

Word.

The word also instructs me who to reveal intimate things to and who not to. Suffice it to say that I have had the same kind of intimate encounters with the Lord as we read about in the bible. I have met the Lord and walked with Him in Zion. And much more besides that. When I was a young...

You are reducing a spiritual walk to a religious way of thinking...because that is all you understand at this point. But do you think all the miracles you read about in Acts...are just people thinking there are miracles....miracles that are made up? People who have not walked in the miraculous...

This is a strawman argument and shows you are not really getting the right bearing on this issue. How can you claim that we Gentiles are more powerful in grace and truth than the early apostles who are all Jewish. Your argument is backwards. But if you mean that God requires less from...

That's true. The kingdom of God was meant for the people of God...who at that time were only Jews. But something new has happened with the coming of Christ. The door into the kingdom was made available to the people of God. But most Jews refused to enter in because they saw this as something...

The problems in the modern church stem in large part from the lowering of the standard of Christ by the introduction of damnable heresies....such as you are presently espousing. I'm not sure if you are following this thread correctly. But the person you are agreeing with is at the outer extremes...

You are simply ignorant of the power of God. That is what grace is. The word instructs me to walk away from people who have a form of religion...but deny the power of Christ's resurrection. The gospel is to the Jew first...but also the Gentiles. Salvation is OF the Jews. You have utterly...

Religiosity is found in those who maintain the status quo of sinful humanity...and simply cover it with a cheap form of grace that makes God not be able to see humanity's true condition. And what is the price for that blindness on the part of God? Faith in Jesus's ability to blind His Father...

Are you saying that Paul was given a unique and separate gospel from what Jesus preached...that was to be directed towards the Gentiles as H. Richard is proposing? There is so much mud in the water, so to speak. The word "grace" in many churches is seen as God turning a blind eye to sin and...

There is a natural reaction in the outer natural man to defend itself. This is a reaction that is meant to preserve the present life being lived which is according to the flesh. Of course we are not to live according to the flesh...and should receive with joy the things that break down the outer...

Salvation is not static, as many believe. There is no line drawn in the sand whereby once the line has been crossed one time.... there is eternal salvation for that one. This is what the devil promotes to fool people from advancing in the truth. The devil will walk circles around the one who...

When we are in Christ we have an enduring freedom. A real freedom. The truth sets us free. In the world we have a counterfeit of these things....like operation "enduring freedom" (think the Afghanistan war)....which is actually no freedom at all. Just like Coca-cola purports to be "the real...

Luke 9:22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” You have Paul inventing a new gospel....whereas he simply preached what Jesus preached. What gospel do you think Peter preached?
