The Lord is right where He says there is none righteous, no not one. Neither side is lily white, that's for sure. But I believe the Jews have returned to the land because there are prophecies that have to be fulfilled concerning the end of this age.........and I don't mean happy ones for the...

Do you believe that a machine is able to perceive things that need to be spiritually discerned? And that "logic" is the way to understand deep things of God?

Unfortunately Epi, it is you who are calling God small and shallow minded for saying that He so loved the world that He gave His only son THAT WHOEVER WOULD BELIEVE ON HIM will not perish. The righteousness of man is always trying to show the Lord up and in essence accuses Him of not being...

Not thinking more highly of ourselves than we ought, amen. I think Lucifer must have taken his eyes off the Lord and became enamoured with himself, thinking his beauty was of his own. I can't remember if I already posted this verse recently, it's been a busy couple of days here with our...

Amen. But also do you agree He is leading us to follow in His footsteps and example in dying to ourselves so to speak? Not trying to save our life/psuche in this world....not loving our lives unto death?

So where it says "The flesh profits nothing" in the bible is just a clerical error then...? And where its says "Having begun in the spirit......."...? We sure do differ on how one is made righteous. It is by the grace of God, through faith...not of our own. But I agree it doesn't necessarily...

Good corn of wheat falling to the ground to die in order to produce a crop. As long as one isn't doing it by way of will worship or mental religious assent to a theology, but is being led there by the Lord. (The flesh profits nothing and having begun in the spirit nobody is going to now be...

If anyone's tone changed it shouldn't be surprising when it's because Paul is being called into question. You seem to be very concerned about Peter being rebuked by Paul, as if that was such a terrible thing and he needs defending. Keep in mind the Jews in those days were trained up in the...

Most false religions/belief systems are trying to attain their version of "holiness" without Christ. But Christ is the ONLY way. I don't know what Episkopos believes specifically with respect to the false ecumenical "all roads lead to God" lie........he has said that he believes idol...

Not for the first time, Episkopos gives me the feeling that he doesn't understand the faith we receive in the beginning of our walk....that it is not of our own. This is why he also says there is no difference between a believer in the 'lower walk' and the Israelites under the Law before...

Amen! Exactly.

Not everyone who comes to faith will grow, or grow much, I agree. There are even those who severely limit and quench life in the Spirit by their doctrine (cessationists). But faith that is not of our own isn't from the Tree of Knowledge, it is from the Tree of Life (Christ, His Spirit). Head...

Sorry your doctrine doesn't "wash". EVERYONE, Jew or Gentile, is unclean in and of themselves until/unless washed in the blood of the Lamb. That's what it takes to be accepted of Him. Peter was shown that the Gentiles were not excluded from the gospel, but could be declared to be clean...

Faith is of the Holy Spirit, not of our own, whereas head belief is of one's own, the flesh. By faith the child of God HAS received resurrection life, but needs to learn/grow to walk in it. To say the beginning of our faith is not faith yet is to deny Christ, because He is both the Author as...

I think you are just "feeling" hated because the truth does sometimes hurt. Nobody here hates you I'm sure.

Amen. And history changes nothing at all about what GOD says in His word. The RCC is in the flesh with everything, not in spirit or in truth - they are not to be followed. One of the biggest tasks of the Apostles in their role as overseers was to keep the churches in line with the truth and...

Nothing but nothing changes the truth of those scriptures I posted. It is a matter of having either the mind of Christ (spiritual) on this matter or the mind of man. It's the difference between flesh and spirit. One leads in a wrong direction and the other leads to life.....we need to have...

All I know sister, is that institutionalization of the faith was not God's intention....it is the tendency of man/flesh. 2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Matt...

Well, to my understanding all the 12 apostles had a "bishoprick" (what I glean from Acts 1:20)...that was their spiritual gift. It was to be in the simplicity of Christ, not quite such a formal designation as in the way of the world set in concrete and institutionalized instead of being in spirit.

If Peter had made a mistake there, Paul would have had no problem correcting it later when he came along. But he didn't. Instead we see clearly that he accepted and acknowledged the new Apostle as marks shared that scripture. Have a hunch there are reasons in the Lord why the new Apostle had...
