    The Blended Gospel

    It remains that to ignore the word of God in Jesus Christ so as to invent a separate gospel of Paul, is a criminal heresy. Although the kingdom has not been set up governmentally on earth, the kingdom of God yet exists in the hearts of His people. The kingdom of God is the rule of God through...

    The Truth About Born Again Christians

    We don't own a tv. Computers are better! :)

    Freedom From Our Sins

    Sounds fair to me! Gnosticism separates the spirit from the body so that one can sin outwardly yet remain pure within. I certainly do not advocate this at all. The Holy Spirit makes us more responsible for our actions as we know the holiness we are called to. It remains to allow God to crucify...

    I didn't realize this was a chess game! ;)

    Freedom From Our Sins

    I am not Jesus.....but He lives in me. :) I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. ALL things includes living as Jesus lived....holy! We are commanded and enabled to do so...by His grace through our faith. This is about you and your unbelief not about me. I have no trouble with...

    The Truth About Born Again Christians

    I could say I got the words from sports illustrated or from God Himself.....the reality is what you are able to hear and understand. What part of what I said do you find that goes against what Jesus said? Please show the scriptures that support that argument.

    Freedom From Our Sins

    That is carnal reasoning.... This is not about me...it is about Christ. Your argument reminds of of someone who needs to catagorize a Christian by a denomination or doctrinal stance. Isn't it enough to be Christian? So isn't it enough to trust in Christ and His word? Or do you think that...

    Freedom From Our Sins

    It is a lack of faith that causes those who are actually born from above to sin. It goes against the gospel to say that we are not given the new operating system through grace. We are to be filled with the Spirit. Filled means there is no room for anything else.

    Freedom From Our Sins

    We are all born with a sin nature. The power of the cross brings our old nature to death so that Christ can become our life. Our old nature must be gotten out of the way before we can adopt a new one. A computer cannot have two operating systems. A woman cannot be married to two men. Paul...

    The Blended Gospel

    Jesus sent many men to preach the gospel...the harvest is great but the labourers are few.

    Apostasy:

    The difference is who is doing the interpreting.

    Freedom From Our Sins

    Sin comes from both the sin nature and the evil desires of the heart. Both of these are dealt with when we die in Christ. Otherwise we are only partially cleansed. Was Jesus only partially sacrificed?

    Apostasy:

    I hope this is clearer... 2Pe_3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

    Freedom From Our Sins

    This is explained away through the duality of the gnostic belief that it is our bodies doing the sinning not us! It reminds me of the Bono verse that says.."I don't believe in the gun that just went off in my hand. 21st century schizoid man!!!!

    The Blended Gospel

    Exactly! And it doesn't seem to be freaking too many people out! Go figure!

    Apostasy:

    People replace a twisted meaning of words and confuse that with Jesus Christ the actual person...the living truth. The bible records Jesus as saying "I am the way, the truth, and the life" Using human understanding to decide what the meaning of Jesus' words are is against the Spirit. The words...

    Apostasy:

    Apostasy from an errant doctrine created by twisting Paul's words? The true apostasy is from Christ and the truth.

    Freedom From Our Sins

    If the body of sin is dead, then it will not sin. Those who walk in the Spirit do NOT engage in the lusts of the flesh. Too simple??? Rom_6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Rom_13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make...

    The Blended Gospel

    Grace accomplishes the law...it doesn't circumvent it. This scheme is fabricated so that the truth of Jesus Christ could be relegated to a past dispensation. Then we can get on with our own lives AND still be saved, glorified etc... The false gospel is in the service of man....and the devil...

    The Blended Gospel

    And Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom....to both.
