    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    You are the one doing the cancelling. You are projecting that onto me. You still do not believe the bible...God accepts those who DO righteousness. It's right there and you refute it. You really need to turn your views back onto yourself. Most here can't see when a person is FULLY...

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    Amen. But if you can understand that there are 4 eternal destinies....you will see the place that God has reserved for the righteous in the nations and you will see where the hypocrites end up.

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    But if you want to understand that without persecuting the righteous then you have to be able to discern the difference between the Bride and the guests. The way to the Father and eternal life right NOW is according to HOLINESS.....the way to inherit life is through righteousness.

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    I don't believe that the righteousness of God takes away the righteousness of men. I think these are meant for mutual support. Otherwise we receive the truth in unrighteousness...which means we are headed for destruction. What I see in modern Christianity is a necessity to destroy human...

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    Full of faith could mean having the faith OF Christ to do the impossible...like Stephen. Stephen was a holy man of faith. He went far beyond the righteous in that He operated directly before God...whereas the righteous are ignorant of God, yet they still do what is right on a human level because...

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    Or what about other religions? Can they not be righteous because of what they do? It's almost like Christians say they are going to obey but don't...and other religions say they won't but do. Such is our confusion about faith versus beliefs. Everyone has beliefs of some kind. But it isn't...

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    Aha. OK When we say faith we are talking about what we think GOD wants. But a righteous man apart from faith in God does things because HE thinks they are right. It just so happens that God ALSO thinks it's right. For example, the Samaritan saw the man at the side of the road in his state of...

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    Everybody believes something...what is right and true. Some people do what is right without having any kind of faith unless sees that FAITHFULNESS is also faith. Both words are the same in both Greek and Hebrew. But in English these are separate words...faith meaning beliefs and...

    You are only seeing down a very narrow corridor of people who aren't you. You do that, without realizing it, because you want to justify yourself as being further ahead than them. But you are in a different race than they are. Grace qualifies us for a much harder albeit more glorious race. It...

    Good. But sympathy is not the same as honour. A lack of intelligence is not wisdom. Wisdom is a proper use of intelligence. Only the devil and his spirit of slumber causes people to abnegate what God has given us to preserve our own souls.

    Actually God is waiting on you. When will you allow a very basic honesty to overthrow what the devil has instilled in you? When will anyone see the degree to which the devil deceives the WHOLE world...and especially the church.

    Phariseeism in the Modern Church

    Works? What kind of works? Paul is not very specific about faith, laws or works. But DOING righteousness is doing good works. What we can't do is justify ourselves by our works. Neither can we justify ourselves by our beliefs...which has reached epidemic proportions in the modern church. The...

    Yes...I agree that TOC (the confused one) is funny. :) It brings some levity. And I understand why he thinks as he does. But the fact that so many people would take anything he says seriously shows how far removed from reality people have strayed. I see TOC as a school drop-out who sits in rags...

    LOL. He is simply...simple. You confuse a lack of intelligence as being righteous. Of course. Because you have no critical thinking...therefore anyone who has forsaken critical thinking and looks down on intelligence must have done so to follow a god who they think wants us to be simple and...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    The first thing that is thrown out in modern religious circles is critical thinking. And honesty. If you want to accept the salvation scheme as presented by pretenders TO other pretenders...then you have to set aside basic intelligence. Because any kind of critical thinking and discernment would...

    On the silly charge of me being "inclusivist" by the TCO (the confused one). Yes...I honour God who is merciful. His love and mercy are "inclusivist". Those who only see God as "exclusivist" have no love or mercy...and see an angry and spiteful god...the likes of which are not according to the...

    LOL You underestimate God's intelligence level so that He can only think as far as you do. In your pretend world God just wants lip-service and religious sounding platitudes. And you get a LOT of likes (that's why you are here...seeking approval from people) because most people are no more...

    No. The UNBELIEVABLE density of religious people is so exasperating because a very simple term can't be understood even as children could understand it. After a while that dullness of understanding gets to the point where an adult conversation becomes impossible. And at that point one must try...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Actually the difference between the early church and the modern church is that the church at that time was not yet corrupted by false doctrines and the gospel was still the real gospel. Add to that that the early believers were honest and not dishonest like so many modern believers, and we can...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 2

    Reading skills are required when reading the bible. The word "holy" in the term HOLY Spirit is an adjective. Like "red" in a red house is an adjective. Are you following? So then the holy Spirit makes a person holy. Not righteous....but holy. Righteousness is what we DO with that. Cornelius...
