You are not answering my posts and the scriptures you asked me for. You ignore what doesn't fit into your scheme. Is conversation with you pointless? It is usual for people to accuse others of what they do themselves... We are to keep ourselves pure from sins of spirit, soul and body. If I...

The truth is contained in ALL the scriptures not just he ones we make "our" doctrine on. The bible is meant to be understood as a whole...not just cobble together a theory based on a few verses taken out of context. The tax collector went home justified THAT day because he was humble. Richard...

In a war it's not who's right who wins but who's left! ;)

Sanctification is instantaneous since He is faithful to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness...not just a persentage of untighteousness. What takes time is to learn to fix our affections on the thinks of God...not this world. So we need to learn character. This character refuses to seek the...

I'm just asking. It is our attitude that is important. The New Testament is in the heart not the head. :)

LOL I thought that was a syndorme!! :) Agreed! God fits into no man's straitjacket!

Vashti, you said... This is unfortunate because the Christian walk IS this "magical power" that flows from God to the child of God. It is important to not try to interpret the bible by what we have experienced up to this time. The bible is not a "do it yourself" book of things you can try in...

Unless you are talking about kayaking or some other pastime...biblically one is born again from above by the will of the Father. Are we born again by our own choice or by being accepted into the family of God through HIS intervention? Terminology apart....they are biblically the same. One is...

How is sin avoided...human effort? Does Christianity have to do with our best efforts?

Every way of man is right in his own eyes.

One can only be born anew after a death. Death means separation from what we once were. It is not a reform of the old nature like we see in " a Christmas carol". That is certainly a repentance and a change....but this was the type of conversion we see in the OT. It certainly makes one turn from...

Rather than say how you read the words of the bible you just say rubbish? Saying things like that both avoids a real conversation and puts a bad light on you being able to comment on the bible at all.

If a person is acquitted of a murder charge...does that mean he can now murder without any further consequences in the future? If a man is forgiven for past sins by Jesus Christ, does that mean he can transgress the law without penalty from now on?

If someone wishes to go to Paris...they can put their trust belief and confidence in planes and/or ships and get there. Once there one sees the eiffel tower and hears a lot of French. :) Now imagine for a moment that someone tells you they also believe they are in Paris but have never seen the...

The burden we are to carry is light....there is no effort to being sinless..just abide in Christ. If you really do believe that Jesus doesn't sin then why not abide in him? Your accusation of me putting an un-needed burden on others is plainly ridiculous. You can read the bible...just don't...

Col_1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Gal_2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live...

I think the best road to happiness is to forsake happiness. The more you chase after it...the faster it will run from you. Begin by rejoicing in all things! Yes...even to your own hurt. You could still become a great person in the kingdom for ever. Show the world the best a person can do in...

So great is the mercy of God that even one who previously killed the family of God could be forgiven and given a place of honour in that same family! Who but God can do this?? :) We are never so far away from God that His mercy cannot reach us.

We are on a good track if we have not railed against the truth as many seem to do with impunity on this forum. We are called to exhort rebuke and correct with all sound doctrine from the word. We all have copies of the bible. That is the beginning point of our conversation. As musicians can...

Actually men are not to see them selves as funnels for all other men. This idea creates ecclesiastical hierarchies that are not biblical or realistic. The NT talks of churches in the plural. A man can only know and be known by a few others. He cannot know personally everyone in the world. A...
