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

    It is lack of faith in God's provision that causes people to sin and fail the grace of God. For the believer it is the damnation of the filthy...the unclean that awaits those who fail the grace of God. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? It's the smug attitude that God...

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

    Amen. It's about that very RARE commodity called FAITH. People confuse faith with beliefs. But faith is VERY HARD to find. Jesus said when the Son of Man returns will He find faith on the earth? TONS and TONS of beliefs, but faith? Not too many mountains being cast into the sea these days...

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

    This is very wrong. The greatest sin of a believer is unbelief and a mixing of holiness with self-interest which is iniquity. You are not understanding the purpose of regeneration at all. It is not for OUR purpose but for God's. It is a trial run to see who will measure up to the standard of...

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

    Why do you equate forgiveness with justification? Jesus said....forgive them Father for they know not what they do....but Jesus was definitely not justifying them. Forgiveness works until a life is judged.

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    Normally I would avoid a number of people here....but this is a public forum. So then one would expect that the truth would he opposed most heartily. Just read down the list. Have you thought about how many apply to you? Lovers of self are spotted by their ego being sensitive. So I don't need...

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    I'm not doing what others are doing here. You are not seeing what I'm doing. I'm trying to save souls from rejection into outer darkness. In a similar way to street preacher trying to save souls from the lake of fire, but for believers. People have misunderstood the purpose of regeneration...

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

    Exactly I told you what Jesus said and you are non-believing. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. Matt. 10:41 That's part of the...

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    Unlike the many verses I post that never do get answered....because they haven't a clue how they apply today...I always correct the understanding of the half dozen verses or so that people have been indoctrinated into the false delusional gospel on. Like the VERY badly translated 2 Cor 5:21. A...

    An interesting viewpoint. Have you considered applying it to your particular situation? I speak with mainly novices here. My teachings are wasted on spoiled flesh. But others are also observing...and you never know when someone might want their religious certainties challenged.

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    It's a test I bring to bear. I can tell how strong the ego is by giving both a message for the inner man and a message for the outer man. I do this because I learned it from the Lord. So if all you remember are the hard things then your outer man is stronger. If you can look beyond the message...

    That you for your gracious words PD. I know how you like to keep things civil. :)

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

    All we have are words. Giving each word its proper weight is something that very few are able to do. But especially with Paul, we must be painstaking. He has a way of saying things that sound like he is making definite statements when he is actually comparing things. In this case he is...

    You should stick to delivering mail. My teaching is only for disciples and seekers of deeper understanding...training for saints. You are stuck on the same level as bdavidc in thinking you have your ticket to heaven/valhalla. If you wanted to challenge me on any one point you would be far...

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

    You are missing the picture that Paul is painting. It requires some deeper thought and understanding to get Paul's meaning. Yes, he was talking about being taken up to be with the Lord...but then he morphs that idea with being present with God and absent from Him...not present in the body or...

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

    The meeting of the hyper-dispensational mind...which is full on heresy. Here is the gospel for actual believers in Christ... PAUL SAID..........If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to...

    So the gospel that Jesus preached is cursed?

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

    Unsure on how we are to act acceptably when we are dead. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

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

    I have to differ with you here my sister. Holiness is not our attainment but an entrance into Christ to be where He is to live and walk in God's very presence. It is His presence that makes us holy...even in our immaturity. Notice this... And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall...

    Better to that than to progress in understanding, right?
