    Who does the Bible teach is Apostle to you & I ?

    I think people get confused between Paul and his evil twin sister Pauline. The Pauline gospel is what Paul warns us against...since it goes contrary to what Jesus and Paul preached. Both Paul and Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom.

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

    Evidently he is railing against "inclusive love"....seeing that is not exclusive enough. The commands of Jesus are not to be "included" in his radical extremist view. Jesus is seen as too "inclusivist" (made up word) by this poster.

    You Died To Sin

    What you are missing besides the process that gets us to cry out to God..is God taking you into the same victory as Paul experienced. Being translated into the kingdom realm of the Spirit.

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

    And yet you cling to a forgiveness that excuses any present or future sin. There is no such guarantee from God. Your view is like someone in a bathing suit riding a motorcycle. Not wise, but you may get away with it to the point where you no longer see it as dangerous. Until one day it is...

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

    Of course. As a human I'm capable of any manner of evil. How do we know who we are under the hardest pressure? We can only surrender all to God...and pray for His strength knowing that the hardest test of our lives could be right around the corner. What I see is that people have run away from...

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

    Jesus said... If you love Me obey My commandments. AND...not everyone who says to Me Lord Lord (or accepts or believes ON Me) will enter the kingdom of heaven but he who DOES the will of My Father in heaven. Repent from your religious hubris and virtue signalling and be converted to Christ.

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

    Good one! RO DEO...PRO DEO ;) But the only one calling God a liar is you..and by extension all who agree with you. We see things as we are. And because your eye is dark all is darkness. Because you have no trust in the words of Jesus...just holding Him up as an idol...you will constantly...

    You Died To Sin

    Dying to sin is in 2 stages as testified to by Paul. Romans 6 is about the initial salvation...by the initial sample of grace...where the heart is changed and transformed by the love of God. The victory is short lived however due to the grace measure being only sufficient to give us a taste of...

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

    What you are trying to promote here is salvation from God's law, not salvation from that which breaks it. This is the polar opposite of the gospel. You want the good news to be for those who sin as opposed to what is good for the eternal kingdom of God. For your scheme to hold any weight Jesus...

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

    LIkewise. I have to burst your bubble Context....Jesus was speaking to God's chosen people. You maybe look down on them as being inferior, but that is the hugest of errors. Paul says we can be rejected as easily as they were...and we will be, especially with the kind of attitude we see...

    Who are the Saved?

    When speaking of truth and eternal reality, many will think it harsh...compared with their imaginary worlds where there is a utopia that awaits them. They deem themselves as being good for holding such elevated views of their true condition. But utopian ideals are very harmful to whoever...

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    This is a strawman of course since I never said I measured up. You assume I'm like yourself who reads the bible looking for advantage. I do the very opposite. Stop judging me from yourself and then you might get something out of my testimony. No, regeneration is in the spirit...giving us what...

    Who does the Bible teach is Apostle to you & I ?

    And Paul would have condemned the gospel of Peter and other apostles....and the very gospel that Jesus preached...as anathema, thereby making Paul the only arbiter of truth...which of course is so preposterous that it will definitely catch on with the unlearned and dishonest ones.

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

    Ah yes, but the real deal is to know Jesus NOW before He comes back in a physical return. Otherwise we risk being rejected in a "I never knew you" moment as we claim to have spoken and done things in His name.

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    How are people to know the difference between a stubbornly held "theological" position based on the teachings of men and a testimony of the truth? All we have is the bible and an honest appreciation of the text. What I call out is when there is NOT an honest seeking going on. ....basically a...

    Being the Church, Not joining one

    When we look at how Jesus sees things....that very few surprisingly give any heed to...we see His approval of the church of Philadelphia....meaning brotherly love. Now the Babylonian system churches cannot be based on something as mundane, simple, and unorganized as that. Where would the devil...

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

    People confuse a freedom from the judgment of the condemnation with the world and the rejection of Christ through unbelief in overcoming as Jesus did. Many Israelites were saved from Egypt. But almost all of them perished in the training ground of the wilderness. Very few entered into the...

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

    What I see is that people who have been accepted to run the race of faith think they have already made it. It's like getting admission into a university and think it's an automatic degree. But we are to study to show ourselves approved...rightly dividing the word so as not to offend the Lord in...

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

    The problem with being superficial in the things of God is that both sides of the coin are superficial. No real fear, no real glory. No real trembling, no real comfort. No real seeking, no real finding. No real surrender, no real translation into the kingdom realm. For most here it's mainly...

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    I don't think you are quite paying attention to how people are responding to my efforts. Many times you are also denigrating my efforts. And what pray tell do you think they are doing that are attacking me and calling me things that are quite unseemly? You are very interestingly not seeing...
