Not at all. What I am saying is EXACTLY what the authors of the bible are relating. They are speaking of what they know by experience and revelation. I do the same. I would NEVER be religious and assume I know something based on a silly human indoctrination. If you had any wisdom at all...you...

One would have to be blind indeed to not see that the kingdom of God is a RADICAL meritocracy (if you don't produce enough fruit you are rejected). You are reading the bible through rose-tinted glasses indeed with a flowers and rainbows utopian view that ignores the many warnings that are...

Please test this. Most believers have a utopian view of salvation..which appeals to the flesh. People see the free gift part of entering into a walk of faith, but negate the MERITOCRACY aspect whereby we reap as WE have sown. With salvation comes a tragic view of the state of the church. We...

You say you are not against the fear of the Lord....but without having it. You say that holiness is important without seeking first the kingdom. I question your honesty because you don't have a flesh filter. Bearing fruit is on 2 levels. Holy eternal fruit AND righteous fruit based on honesty...

That's your opinion. But anyone that escapes the lake of fire is saved...even as by fire. Don't let a religious or human perspective stop you from getting the truth.

1. We have to read the bible as it is written...not try to overlay a religious perspective over it. That's why there are thousands of denominations...preferences. It is Jesus that gives the teaching about a man who fails holiness and finds a place among the righteous in eternal habitations. Luke...

You are confusing being saved with being glorified. A man can be killed in battle and never come home. The medics couldn't save him. But a man can be so badly burned in battle that he needs to remain in hospital for the rest of his life. Was he killed? No he was saved. But he was saved as by...

The bible ONLY divides the righteous from the holy. It is so plain that you can't see it. You still think the Bride is the same as being a guest. You think glory is the same as mercy. You see being ruled over as the same as ruling with Christ. There's really no help for someone who is both blind...

So then stop with the pride that makes you call God a liar. Simple. But will you heed your own advice?

Why do you think you are fulfilling God's conditions for entering His kingdom? What fruits are you bearing? Holy and eternal fruit? You can't believe 2 opposite things at once...are you a child of the kingdom that can be sent into outer darkness? You will say NO. Because you want one aspect of...

The sins that are past..as it is written. But new sins, worse sins, arise due to sins against holiness, pride, iniquity, blasphemy..etc So until judgment day we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling....not in smugness and self-assurance. You mean believed ABOUT Jesus. It is...

You believe? What do you mean by unbelieving? Why does Jesus say that He will no longer find faith on the earth? Do you mean the kind that moves mountains? Or just religious propositions invented by men? The household of God gets judged first. If you don't think you are called into God's...

Poor you. This faux outrage belies the fact that actual righteous people don't claim to be righteous. You are the one (or ones) trying to be saved by imputing a righteousness onto yourselves that is equal to God's...IN YOUR SINS. Thank you for making my point. Exactly Jesus saves those HE...

God sorts out those who offend the truth from His kingdom. It's right there in the parables...especially Matt. 13.

It amazes me that people will reject the very thing that can save them. In the world it is about knowing Jesus as a Saviour. But in the church it is about saving the soul and the knowledge of God's ways to that end. "My people perish for lack of knowledge." I could share a lot more about that...

Only a pre-conditioned reasoning based on indoctrination can miss the meaning of the verse. So you fail the 5 year old reading skills test. :rolleyes:

Actually Abraham's bosom is a term meaning the nations of them that are saved. Abraham is the father of many nations...and the meek inherit the earth. It is comparative imagery that shows us that it is better to be poor and suffer than be rich and spoiled. Jesus often speaks of us hating our...

Actually I teach both sides of the coin. I urge my fellow believers to seek humility and maintain the fear of the Lord...to learn righteousness. Of course I also urge people to seek God for translation into the kingdom realm and Christ's perfection. Jesus did say that many will try to enter in...

To me this is obvious. The man was allowed in as a guest and he presumed to take a higher place than he ought to have. Jesus warns us to take the lower place when we enter a room. IF the master of the house bids you come up higher than you receive honour. But if he tells you to go down then...

Amen and welcome to the thread. I think more people realize nowadays that Jesus is a loving and forgiving Person. But they don't get when and how He is such. And the more one preaches holiness, the more people react in a more liberal way. God is merciful but He is also hard on those who claim...
