    Christ's Christianity and Paul's Christianity are Not the Same

    If Paul or anyone doesn't teach the gospel of Christ then they are not His. Paul is very misunderstood by people who think they actually get what he is speaking about. "Easy" they say..but even the apostles thought that Paul was dificult to understand sometimes. So do we have men that are wiser...

    A Popular, Modern View of Righteousness

    Pride is a killer. Those who have never experienced victory in Christ will say..."there is no victory in Christ" and then attack those who testify they have. If they have not...then no one has!!!! How can anyone know more than them????Even the biblical testimony will not convince them.

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    Do you go to the same church as Richard Burger? I have already dealt extensively with the gnostic heresy that does away with responsibility for one's actions.

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    This applies to all men. Christians are to abide in Christ.

    A Popular, Modern View of Righteousness

    Preach it brother!!! :)

    Galatians 5

    I agree with much of what you say. You are speaking from the point of view of righteousness according to what men can do. What the gospel is about goes beyond this type of righteousness..it is God's righteousness in us which comes to us as a supernatural (mystical if you will) power to walk in...

    Eternal Security- What does the Bible say?

    Lip service and mental assent have nothing at all to do with Christianity. We are saved by believing in Christ and living through His grace.

    Galatians 5

    Amen brother!!! :) This is a human reasoning that negates the power of Christ and the grace that empowers us to be holy.

    "Christian" Doctrines That Are Not Biblical

    The doctrine of unconditional salvation is way out there. It denies the whole teaching of the bible in order to invent a religion of salvation based on a "saving gnosis". This is not the right way to determine if somewthing is biblical or not. The devil can more easily use a biblical word in...

    Galatians 5

    I am testifying to the very same thing in that quote. We can walk in an actual light...a light we can see as our eyes are opened to the kingdom of God. The presence of God is full of light. True Christian fellowship is in that light where we are walking together IN Christ. The sheer love and...

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    I am trying to bring a litle reality to the many fantasy stories I see made up due to a faulty personal interpretation of the bible. One must be very careful and fearful when reading the bible so as not to go off on a tangent thus bringing condemnation on ourselves. Remember it was the Pharisees...

    Galatians 5

    When a person receives the truth in all humility...God is very merciful. When a person twists the truth in order to negate the power of the gospel...then that one is condemned. Notice the goodness and severity of God. Rom_11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which...

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    I am actually speaking of the reality and the truth of the power of the gospel. Grace overcomes sin and the gospel empowers us to fulfill the commandments of God. Too simple?

    Eternal Security- What does the Bible say?

    We must endure to the to be saved in an eternal sense. But we can be saved in our daily situations through faith and rejoicing in God. There are the daily battles and then there is the war. There sems to be the confusion that winning one battle means the war is over.

    Galatians 5

    I am teaching what God has made available to men though faith. There is a new creation that is not limited by the weakness of the flesh...believe and be saved!!! :) Does this answer mean you do not understand walking in the divne light of Christ and His resurrection life? In that place we walk...

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    The bible states many heavenly principles... -Seek and you will find -the wages of sin is death -we reap what we sow -believe and you will be saved -if we shrink back we will be condemned -obey the commanments Some on this forum call these principles..."legalisms" or laws. But theses same...

    Faith without works is dead

    What a disconnect between what the Spirit does and what men try to do. I guess if I had never known the Holy Spirit I would be forced to think that it was impossible for men to change.

    Galatians 5

    As in...I was trusting in my own strength in God's work on the cross when I stole this...so it isn't sin to me!!! Wanna join my religion ;) Now, it's only sin if you know it is??? Wow! So much for walking in the Spirit of God!!! You'd think God would know what sin is? FYI some of the books...

    Galatians 5

    You should be on a gnosticism forum....not a Christian forum. You really would be accepted there. http://gnosticteachi...ions/index.html The English term schizophrenia comes from two Greek words that mean "split mind." The course of schizophrenia in adults can be divided into three phases or...

    How to understand your sins.....now that you are born again.

    Here is one of the few verses in the bible that are used as an argument for gnosticism. (We have at least one gnostic on this forum). Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind...
