Ok, so maybe between 5 and 10 years old... :hmhehm

I checked your math and all seems in order. Now all you have to do is apply that same logical skill to reading words in the bible. So it takes both math skills AND reading skills. Good luck.

Amen. Welcome to the thread... :) <><

You are officially NOT confused. You got it! :Thumbsup:

We tend to confuse faith with beliefs. We can believe that Jesus atoned for sins...but salvation from sin is not about naming and claiming atonement based on beliefs. faith moves mountains. Beliefs make theories about mountains.

Grace is about holiness and glory. Failing grace means we don't walk in victory over sin. But God's mercy extends beyond holiness. He justifies the ungodly....based on what they DO.

Again we are not saved by accepting a belief in Jesus' atonement. Jesus doesn't need our approval to be a saviour.

God's justifies the ungodly not because of their lack of beliefs but because of what they DO. Another aspect of acceptance with God is to be God-fearing. So they might not see Jesus as a saviour yet, and might not understand His ministry. But God is merciful toward the righteous. We are not...

EXACTLY! You are among the first to acknowledge what a 5 year old would see. Ok, let's see if you can track what say a 10 year old would see. The conclusion comes straight from the bible. Let me walk you through it. I owe you that much because you pass the 5 year old test. Then saith he...

Again, most modern believers have been indoctrinated so badly that they can't tell the difference between the Bride and guests. My guess is that these have never attended a wedding...or if they had, they maybe thought that every guest was getting married as the bride. The bible is very clear...

Exactly. Whatever is of Christ is miraculous in nature. You are confusing Jesus with a morality preacher. The law was given through Moses but Jesus Christ quickens us into His miraculous grace over sin. That is the gospel. If it doesn't overcome sin, the flesh and the devil, it is NOT the...

Platitudes or Beatitudes? Peter says that those who work righteousness are acceptable with God. Does Peter's experience and statement hold any value to you?

I could try taking you by the hand and help you with your reading skills but something tells me that you would only throw a tantrum. Seek the Lord for yourself...and live.

I think you are mostly NOT confused. You should be changing screen names with others here! ;) tsml

Actually the OTHER book Is the book of life. This is the second resurrection..the general judgment for all nations. The righteous are written in the book of life. And the books were opened....this is the first judgment for God's household. Those 2 books are the Lamb's book of life and the book...

This is false. The filthy are those who soil holiness. The wicked are those who love unrighteousness. And both of these categorizes include MANY believers in our time. What I teach is that we should AT LEAST be as the righteous...if not be among the holy. Jesus taught that...at least giving the...

You say this because you always need to be half-right. And you only allow others to be only half-right too. This is a pride issue that you need help with. The very silly notion that I need help for your difficulties with the truth display that I am a mirror here. People always see themselves in...

What is interesting is that it says...faith without works is dead. But it doesn't say works without faith is dead. And that because we will not be judged by our faith....but only by our works.

If that helps you to see that righteousness can be innate then OK. We are all created in God's image. The capacity for good is in all of us as we allow our inner conscience to operate separately from what benefits us personally. If you want to see that inner capacity as faith then fine. I don't...

Fear on the outer man. Fearlessness on the inner man. We are really 2 people until we are either fully weaned of the flesh, able to carry our cross...or better yet, crucified with Christ. From there we will no longer be duplicitous, double minded, compromised, and unstable.
