    What is the purpose of Grace?

    The torment is in outer darkness, knowing that you lied about God and are cut off from His presence for ever. If you want to revel in eternal torment for unbelievers who suffer forever for a few years of sin.....enjoy!

    The other thread was locked..so this is my response to @Grailhunter I agree with your assessment except for the waiting for a sign from heaven. The Pharisees did such and Jesus rebuked them for it. And I have known a lot of people who CLAIM that God told them this or that...but it's all...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Jesus said....If you love Me obey my commanments...obey my MITSVAH. Mitsvah is a command within an intimate relationship. When we walk in the Spirit we are experiencing a mitsvah. When we obey God through love that's also a mitsvah. Mitsvot connects us to God in relationship. Resisting God's...

    How do I present the gospel? 1. To the wicked I say...Jesus died because of your sins...but He paid for them if you obey Him step by step...He will lead you in the way of life. You need to change your ways and listen to Jesus. Repent. The believing here is ONLY what the person DOES in response...

    What you fail to see to this point is that death doesn't justify anyone. Christ's shed blood reconciled the world to Himself through redemption. The WHOLE WORLD. A life for a life. The death penalty was remitted because Jesus took it on Himself. But this redemption is NOT to be claimed or taken...

    People in general don't know how to juggle the idea that Jesus Christ is BOTH God and man. They SAY they understand...but they don't. The fact that Jesus is BOTH means that there are 2 poles or aspects ....or levels of truth that must be addressed. We are to be conformed to Jesus as a Man...and...

    I don't suppose you bothered to listen to the video in the OP. I wrote a big book about putting the whole bible into context that shows the ways of God and in particular the way of God in Christ. I submitted the book to professional reviewers...as suggested by the publisher. I had to pay for...

    There is NO eternal destiny called heaven. Read the bible for yourself. The next age is on a new earth...not heaven. Heaven is ONLY for now.

    Of course. We have free will. Only a wiley ole Calvinist believes that we don't have free agency? Are you a Calvinist at heart? Of course not. The predestination is only for those who would be perfected in Christ as it says in the bible....to be conformed to the image of His Son...nothing...

    We all need Christ. It's just that His mercy extends beyond those who give Him lip-service. He is merciful. And if He wasn't none of us would survive. Best to let God be merciful and not decide for ourselves who gets to go to hell...

    I don't deny that there are 5 point Calvinists in the world. There are extremes of all sorts. I believe in God's salvation for all who do His will whatever the religious belief is. God doesn't care what our beliefs are. Only a carnal and rebellious decoy church teaches that we will be judged...

    You mean Jean Calvin??? I don't follow any man-made theologies. Do you?

    I knew this stuff way before you did. And I'm not a nail for your hammer. You have zero reading skills and zero discernment. Like any indoctrinated religiosnist you are projecting on me what you want me to be. I'm not a Calvinist...I'm spiritual in Christ. As such I teach both righteousness...

    You mean works righteousness. And yes it does. Open up that bible sista! It's time to get into the word.

    You don't understand the cost of discipleship....because you have never had to face the Lord. I forgot to mention that you are very fortunate in that one of my specialties is saving indoctrinated theologians like yourself. :)

    Nobody said that. That's your religious conditioning speaking. What a carnal theology proposes is that anyone who is not born again is going to hell....which is unbiblical. That's what causes so many people to claim they are born again...when they obviously are not. It's the same with conflating...

    Agreed. Luther was a false teacher.

    What in your opinion is reformed theology? Walking in resurrection life in the kingdom realm without spot or wrinkle of sin? Or else God being merciful on more people than just the church? Which one or both are reformed? If you can locate people that believe such things...both things... please...

    The theologian...the one who decides if the witch is to burn? ;) As in.... "She IS a witch!" You don't learn truth in a seminary or a bible school. They are there to find you a spouse...while pretending to sound spiritual. You know that. But you are unable to challenge me on anything I have...

    Have you read bdavidc's invective? Or are you only reading my responses? I was getting the license plate of the religious bus that ran me over. As usual you are not able to see what's taking place. Carnal religiosity is all you people understand. I see deeper into what's going on...so I call...
