Couple of things I believe we need to keep in mind. One is that gifts and callings are given without repentance....which means just because one has a particular gift or calling is no guarantee they are not in sin, or have erroneous beliefs. So we are always to test everything. The other is...

Amigo is reminding us that regardless of what else Episkopos has to say....he is not on the right foundation. Lest we forget.

Absent from the body.....which means dead. That part is talking about being accepted of him on judgment day. That is the context.

That is sad to hear.

What is easy for some to remember doesn't mean it is easy for everyone. I'm not young any more and do have memory problems, and it is also hard for me to deal with too many moving parts at the same time, which this whole subject does seem to have a lot of moving parts and it is sometimes hard...

Knowing what one is capable of (in the flesh) is not the same thing as committing the sin. As Paul said, "In me, that is in my flesh, dwells no good thing." I consider that coming to realize this is part of growing in the Lord. And since we are warned against wilfully sinning after knowing...

Grace is not just one thing though. It is power, but it is also an attitude of graciousness and favour towards those He has brought into His household.

There are so many miracles that God has been doing all along that don't get written down in a book or advertised, the ones we are aware of are only the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless I would point to the early church for an example of such faith.....they were seeing miracles and remaining...

That is not true. "They without us would not be made perfect." (perfect in the sense of entering the new covenant) The Israelites were before Christ and the giving of the Holy Spirit. This is why the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than the greatest under the old covenant. (Not...

Amen. Like our High Priest who was touched with the feeling of our infirmities. God doesn't waste our mistakes and failures....He uses them to humble us and make us more reliant on Him.

Thanks sister, I'll have a look.

Wolves get very snappy and snarly if you don't sit still and let them eat you for dinner. It's their nature.

I see/hear you. It was a rhetorical question. Because the only thing that mattered to you was you.

You are sensitive. What about the rest of my post?

I think we have to remember that the rich young man was a Jew who was faithful to the old covenant, but Jesus was showing him the way into the new covenant. For him personally it seems his wealth and status was a hindrance or hurdle as you are saying.......but for us who are already under the...

Amen, I agree. It a love that is not of our own, but God's love which goes beyond and is higher than human emotions. I believe it is alluding to or speaking again of walking in His Spirit/nature. Looking it up in the Hebrew the word translated as "perfect" is "salem" (shalom)....which seems...

Here are a few scriptures.....they are all GOD's word regardless of who penned them. Heb 6:4-8 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the...

In other words walk in the Spirit.

You're twisting my words, but it's a waste of time to try and sort you out.

You have demonstrated over and over again that you cannot grasp spiritual things. Perhaps it's because you bought into the Hebrew mindset thing. I know they are indeed very practical and smart, and hypervigilant, and learned to be out of urgent necessity...they have been fighting to survive for...
