  1. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    The attitude of the natural is to attack and persecute the spiritual. Always has...always will!!!!
  2. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    We live in a sin crazed world and at a time where the church is salvation crazed...a single issue circular reasoning obesession to defend a status. Are you saved? they ask... It is natural then to see the true nature of the gospel as foreign. People are brainwashed to the point that the reading...

    The Trinity in the OT

    Deu 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God the Lord is one. :)

    Why you cant lose your salvation.

    An unrighteous person sees everything one way. But if we can repent of sin by turning to God then we can also repent of turning to God by turning to sin. Are the ways of the Lord not equal...or are they falsely balanced as men's ways??? For more understanding of the freedom that God gives to...

    The Field Guide for Volatile Topics

    I like the guidelines! A person should expect to be mis-understood. Grace is always welcome!!!

    Is the Church in Revelations?

    We are presently in the time of the Laodicean church.
  7. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Many are called but few are actually chosen and approved. Amen!!! A quick perusal of #132 shows that I indeed answered in #133. Maybe you should go over your own list. Of course I don't promise that I will answer as you wish!!! :)
  8. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Human reasoning not supported at all by the bible. We must be approved of God before we are given any authority. If you read the NT you will see that Jesus had 12 close disciples...His inner circle while He was here. Then there was the 70, the 120....but the multitude that were there to crown...
  9. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    As I have said...our perfection is only found in Christ. We become completely mature after many tribulations and trials...but we are never perfect in ourselves. We are made complete in Him. We need to make it into God's inner circle so to speak. Most are satisfied to get something from God...so...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Hi!!! :) Where men are concerned things are always compromised to some degree. As they say...you take the good with the bad...or..eat the meat and spit out the bones....etc But with God all things are holy. He needs no improvement. His ways are perfect. Look at the universe...is this the work...
  11. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    In Christ every step of the way IS perfect...we are talking about the Creator of the universe and not some pop leader. I am not trying to make anything harder for anyone...just the opposite. Wouldn't you know for yourselves if the Son of glory was ruling in your own heart? I am trying to bring...
  12. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    I can tell you are not a surgeon! ;) Rom 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband...
  13. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    The transaction is in the heart not the brain. A person can confess to be anything he wants....but it is very Greek to think...I think therefore I am. That is why the bible is so clear about the miraculous faculty which is grace. If we have never walked in complete perfection in holiness...then...
  14. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    A truly born again person actually HAS free will. The bible exhorts us to walk in the Spirit now that we have been quickened in the spirit. We can very easily stray through a false understanding of grace. This is what I try to point out to so many here. Either they have never been given a new...
  15. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    The argument against showing the fruit of a new heart through obedience to the laws of God reveals the self-justification of an old nature seeking to cover it's tracks. I am not espousing a physical and mental assent to the law...but rather an obedience from a new heart that is inscribed with...

    Assurance of salvation

    The RC "animal" certainly makes great claims. :)
  17. Episkopos

    The Gospel of Grace:

    You reveal your own heart by the way you let your mouth speak...and in this case ....the fingers type! God weighs the heart. Men try finding a formula that excludes the heart. My gospel is one of actual power unto holiness. The New Covenant is the law inscribed on the tablets of our hearts. It...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    We also must choose. While God is certainly sovereign He doesn't force anyone to obey Him. The very problem we have in the church today is not that God is failing to live up to His promises...but rather that people are choosing to follow their own ways. If there were no free will for the...

    The Doctrine of Salvation

    No Catholic should grandstand on the practice of the RC denomination. How do you get torturing people for confessions before burning them???
  20. Episkopos

    Religion get in the way of faith?

    Actually more of an exhortationist. ;)
