The bible of course. The holiness requirement is not fulfilled in righteousness. The only holiness that is possible is to enter into Christ and HIS righteousness. We put on Christ to approach God. So then Jesus alone fulfills the holiness requirement. But we can operate at the much lower level...

God is holy....and wholly living apart from His creation. As such it requires holiness to approach Him...not just righteousness. There is a distinction to be made between righteousness (doing what is right) and holiness (perfect as He is perfect....pure as He is pure) There is a human...

That is the ONLY verse that suggests that people will be tormented. But if you look at the context...it is meant for people who worship the beast or receive his mark. So we are not talking about a person who has done bad things or just lived to excess. We are talking of a spiritual bond with...

Humans can do what is right or wrong...we have that ability. Now we can't see God with our natural eyes so we live in a world of the visible. Now we DO see humans. If we are faithful with humans...then we will also be faithful with God. He who is faithful in little is also faithful in much...

Here is a subject that religion has obscured to the point of destroying what is good in order to support that which is evil. I would have put this subject in the unorthodox doctrines section....but how could I do that to this very basic topic? I want to begin with a story of my own making...

Sure. But that is more perceiving or sensing. People do bring spirits with them. On rare occasions....even the Holy Spirit.

The young man asked Jesus what he needed to do to inherit eternal life. Jesus answered ...obey the law of righteousness (love others). There was no holiness requirement. When he asked Jesus if there was more...Jesus said perfection (holiness) was found by abandoning everything and following...

...which is a good thing. But it is also true. The lake of fire is called "the second death"....not the second torment. We will see the "corpses" of those who rebelled against God. Corpses feel no pain.

I see that your understanding comes from humility. I'm glad you are here on the site. :)

People who know God the most are able to keep secrets. Otherwise the God who is the Keeper of secrets will not reveal much at all to a person. A prophet can know something for many years without uttering a peep about it. A prophet speaks as the oracle of God....and doesn't dissipate his/her...

WOW. You are really tracking. I'm impressed. :)

No one obtains eternal life as something that is theirs in this life. We enter into HIS life which is eternal. It is always HIS life we are moving in and through. Or we come out from under His life and live as any other human...with a POTENTIAL for a future entrance into life. We are in a race...

There's that word again. "saved" I really think people don't know what that means. If a veteran comes back from war with his arms and legs blown off....and is reduced to being a vegetable because of head injuries...but is fully alive besides that. Is he "saved?" He isn't dead. But he is a...

You mean the saints? saints are humble. They won't tell you anything...they can keep a secret. Otherwise God would not reveal mysteries to them. So then try getting the truth out of someone who sees. You would have to get the question right. Humility already knows about God. It is a quick...

The biggest lie and the biggest cult falls under the heading of "Religion". But people are wrong about God. He isn't at all religious. He is holy. But people like religion better...it is a LOT easier. And the people love to have it so.

OK You see the death of the unborn as a callous act. Agreed. Democrats don't care. But what of the death of other people's children in other countries that the West treat callously as "collateral damage"? Republicans don't care. So basically politics is about choosing who you will be callous...

They live in the spiritual realm....which is like a one-way mirror. They see us but unless we are given the spiritual faculty of sight...we can't see them.

A large amount of people can't belong to a cult? Joseph Stalin said.... One dead person...a tragedy. A million dead people...a statistic. So he just killed millions of people so that he wouldn't be seen as a murderer. So maybe the large groups are even worse than cults?

You are offering up judgments on this forum. Unless you're just kidding around (I'm assuming you are serious) and just acting the part of a Pharisee you reveal much of the way you think...by your words. You do know you will be justified or condemned by your words? The word justified also means...

But that's not your spirit at all. Lowliness of mind sees righteousness EVERYWHERE just like Jesus. And HE had MORE cause to look down on people than anyone else. But that is NOT His way. So we need to learn righteousness. Otherwise we have no part with Jesus. HUMILITY sees righteousness...
