Good question. Without understanding the bible in a deeper way, there is no way to explain the "perfect way" that is tamim (having no guile, like a child, innocent of evil.) The everlasting way is tamim.....God is tamim, and with the tamim God will show Himself to be tamim. That is spoken of...

This is a deviation. You are fully ignoring Jesus's teaching and replacing that with the incredulity of the as yet non-spiritual disciples. Are you converted yet? Are you saved from the power of sin? Are you perfect as Jesus said the young man would be if he sold all and followed Him...

Why do you say he wasn't saved? You are using a carnal reasoning that fully negates the text. The young man ask Jesus what must I do to INHERIT life. Jesus says obey the commandments. To be PERFECT.....Jesus says that he needs to sell all and follow Him. So then you should ask...why wasn't...

To add to this...if anyone is interested in a deeper connection to the scriptures and the Hebrew regarding loving one's neighbour.... There are 3 words in Hebrew that are basically identical...just the vowel sounds change...and the structure of Hebrew is that every letter has a meaning in...

When Jesus explained this He didn't waste an opportunity to challenge the religious ones by citing a hated Samaritan as a good example. Jesus had a habit of doing that...being the revolutionary that He is. When He cited Elijah feeding the the woman of Sidon, and The cleansing of the Syrian...

Where do you see sanctification in the text? You are adding in your interpretation. Why do that? Find verses that actually speak of holiness....there's a WHOLE bible to find that in....don't just add in your meaning.

Forgiveness is one thing but saved? Believing ABOUT Jesus isn't the same as believing Jesus....listening to Him and obeying Him. Believing about Jesus is not the same as believing INTO Him to be where He is. God is merciful, but salvation is not just about accepting a religious proposition...

Jesus came to bring a sword. The truth will never be accepted by the majority. To be with Jesus means to take a stand in truth and righteousness. Cursed is he that keeps back his sword from blood. The lukewarm and fence sitters will have no thank from God....quite the opposite. But you should...

You talk AT people. You treat people as if they were a poster or a label not a person. When you talk to an atheist you are only talking to the atheism...not the human. And you do that because you are not acting like a human at all. You are just a propaganda machine. No love, just a cardboard...

We all need mercy...but we are not all of the truth. Mercy is an easy standard meant for the repentant, the merciful, the meek...etc. But beyond the very basic mercy of God is also the judgment of God where by there are winners and losers....vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour...fully...

All the ways of God are mercy and truth. God is merciful and forgives us when we confess our sins. That is by God's mercy. But there is also the truth. Those who transgress the truth are not shown mercy. That's why it is wise to fear the Lord and be careful to not swear falsely or take the...

So who are the saved? Who is walking in the salvation of God at the present time, and who will inherit life in the next age? These two considerations are usually confused or jumbled to be one thing. All the ways of God are BOTH mercy and truth. The word of God is like a DOUBLE edged sword. In...

This is good. I appreciate your role here. My role is not expected to be popular by any means. We all have different experiences and capacities/gifts. We can't expect everyone to communicate the same things or the same way. We need to discern the body of Christ. But we also need to discern who...

The forum is a little bit artificial in nature. Most people don't reveal themselves who they really are. So these can post anonymously without any kind of responsibility. And this causes some to be extravagant in their judgments. They are safe behind their computer screens. What I find to be...

OK so you are a sinner...walking in your own power. The problem is that you claim to be righteous for whatever reason....whether by beliefs or works. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. Ps 143:2 Do you claim to be a living man, or...

The only one declaring yourself to be righteous is you. You are just a hammer looking to hit everybody...without any reason. The POWER of the cross crucifies the old sin nature so that we are able to be translated into the kingdom realm to walk without sin....to overcome just as Jesus did...

This is a very narcissistic response. I am simply conveying what the power of the gospel is...that Paul preached. If that doesn't line up with your lack of experience, that doesn't make it wrong. You have to remove yourself from being the center of everything. Repentance needs to come from you...

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

The early church was an "oikos" a "household" of faith. It's a LOT easier to just join an institution that you can be passive in. But to take responsibility for one's own walk???? That can be seen as cultic. The true cult is in the man-made institutions. We are responsible, as believers, to...

What you call spiritual paradoxes is God turning righteousness into unrighteousness. Because you don't understand anything beyond the temporal realm...you have to invent what you think the upside down kingdom is like. For you it is not unreasonable to claim a sinful holiness. To sin IN Christ...
