    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    There is a LOT of assuming here....no surprise. One thing doesn't necessarily follow the other. One must strive lawfully...not just follow what one feels is right. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil NEVER develops into the tree of life. And the fact is that too many assume they have even...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matt 8:12

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    Many will name and claim to be saved by their own faith...or rather, their own beliefs, that take from God's provision by entering into God's house by some other way than through the front gate. One must enter in through the door which is Christ with HIS APPROVAL. We are not the ones who can...

    What is God looking for from us?

    A comment from another online contributor: God is looking for worshipers in the spirit and truth, He is looking for our surrender, humility, childlike faith, fear of Him like Abraham, so he can reveal His secret to us, and we can be His vessels that He can move through.

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Matt. 23:15 Dogmatic religion doesn't save anyone. Reciting creeds saves no one. Beliefs save no one, unless...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    The reproaches that were meant for me have fallen on you. Where did I read that sort of thing??? :IDK:

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." 1 Cor 9:27

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    The text says twice dead...meaning the person was regenerated and is now either asleep or dead spiritually based on a departure, not in the mind, but in the heart.

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    If that's the case why do are they at the love feasts? Why are they tossed by every wind of doctrine. It's a ploy to make every case of rejection due to a conscious decision to fall away.

    What is God looking for from us?

    What is God looking for from us? How important is what we do and how we represent the Lord in our daily lives? Too often the religion that has come into being that calls on the name of the Lord looks to what can be received through faith in God, to the detriment of God's purpose. Who is choosing...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    As I have previously stated, a man can be more than one thing at the same time. But God can't perfect what isn't there. Peter was the most brash disciple but also the most sensitive to the Spirit. He loved and followed the Lord more than the others did. His zeal for Jesus was greater than the...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. The modern church is full of Cains. Unless the doctrines that are taught promise life to every person, there arise jealousies and rivalries. So...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Here is another description of the behaviour and attitude of them that will be rejected by God into outer darkness. People who claim anything good...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    OK so there is no video for the OP. But there is an amazing amount of denial of plain scripture regarding the eternal destiny of being sent away into eternal darkness for those who are saved. As we know, there are 4 eternal destinies described repeatedly. Of course the prevailing religious...

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    I have this thing called a "podcast" where I cite from a book called "The Bible". You are free to criticize anything I actually say from the said book. But you complaining and bellyaching without any context...you just like to type important sounding things without ANY content... is fully...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    The soul that sins, it shall die. Most modern believers don't know what that is because they have nothing to fall from....they are already asleep or dead spiritually. So a sin for these doesn't cause a great chasm the way it was felt by Adam and Eve. Concerning emotionalism : Men are called by...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    And what pleases God is humility and the fear of the Lord....also having no guile, honesty and uprightness. Those are the kind of people (who practice such) that inherit the kingdom. Doctrine is mainly about BEHAVIOUR and ATTITUDE. How is our form of doctrine making us BEHAVE? Does our...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    Don't let what you think you know already get in the way of the depth of meaning in the text. Logically...God said that the ground was holy. Is ALL ground holy? Was God saying that Moses had to go bare-foot everywhere? So you are missing the point... holiness is where God is. Holiness is...
