Great analogy! :)

I actually am implying that men can't claim to be God-pleasers without God Himself declaring it so. We have millions of confused Christians running around today claiming to be pleasing to God without God saying anything about it...yet! Still one must be careful of judging oneself to be...

We are not talking about law, but grace. People can do as they feel they should. Jesus is explaining something that only a few will ever do or realize. There are thousands of excuses why it should not be done. But the word remains there to judge people's motive's by. As per usual...everything...

It is funny that everyone trusts God for sustenance in the community in the heavenlies after death...just almost no one can so trust God in THIS life. Who will look after the children after you are gone? Will you forbid God from taking you away from your responsibilities? THIS is the...

Actually...should God wait for openings in our busy schedules before doing the work of the kingdom? Does not Jesus call us to forsake everything to follow Him? For most, this cost is too high. Complaining about this requirement is utter futility. You cannot change the word of God. Where is our...

We must be careful brother when speaking in absolutes. Has God given you the apostolic authority (like the early apostles) to deny that any other apostolic voice (after yours) is false?

We are totally free. It is just that few will be able to follow the narrow path. Luk_13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. It is like the invitation to the wedding feast...not everyone is capable of attending...

Amen! The first job of a Christian is to be a Christ bearer.

Exactly! Someone who has made himself comfortable does not need the Comforter sent to him.

Some people would say that if a man and woman live in separate countries they can't be married. ;)

Interesting points! We know that Judas is certainly not one of the 12 founding apostles of the church. Perhaps Paul replaces Judas. Perhaps not. There were more like 120 apostles at the beginning. Have you considered Barnabas?

We must be careful to not claim to be the elect before the time. Anyone can say...the victors win! But it is the folly of men to assume they are victors before they have finished the race. Let he not boast who puts on the sword as one who takes it off! In other words a man can think he will...

Very good! Acting by faith is what saves us. Phinehas acted in faith when he slew the transgressors. He pleased God. ...which is the greatest thing we mortals can do! :)

But Christians in our time have shunned the narrow way. It is no longer culturally viable. We don't initiate boys into manhood either thinking that game-boys will do this for them. Our society is completely sick and the church trusts this society rather than following the biblical example. The...

God saved him for his righteousness. No man can be righteous enough to merit salvation without God saying so. But in God's eyes his righteousness saves him. Don't make a technique out of this faith only salvation method. It will lead you astray! Who is judging what faith really is??? While it...

Great verses! ;)

We are to do more than just follow..we are to abide!!!! The inner life is to die to self and walk in newness of life. This is abiding!! The following part is as I have stated...a physical change! The help we need is essential not optional. So yes the living way in Christ encapsulates both the...

Yes....we see our faith as a lifestyle of being kingdom oriented in all aspects of life. There are differing periods of intensity to this. We go from revival to revival. We are currently in a build up phase for a new revival.

Constantine actually put the last nail in the coffin of the simple church in the Spirit as the main expression of the Body over 1,600 years ago.

But these are included in the Jewish canon.
