In my experience with you I would say that is untrue. I believe you do try very hard, but you are relying on your own understanding, which is futile. Your cleverness will never attain to Christ. This is untrue (and you are falsely accusing me to get support from the crows). The foundation of...

Amen again...self-love is self-harm.

This is the actual opposite of what the verse says. You are looking for forgiveness IN your sins. But the cross of Christ is not about forgiveness...it is an instrument of death that is VERY unforgiving. You are operating on feelings not heavenly power. Now if you are a new believer, I would...

Amen. The bible says, in the fear of the Lord AND the comfort of the Holy Ghost. The fear of the Lord is on the outer man and the comfort of the Spirit is for the inner man. The problem with being regenerated in the Spirit, is that BOTH are elevated...and the outer man being stronger, takes over...

You bite the hand that is trying to feed you. You want everyone to be only half right, as you are. If that's not living by the ego, then I don't know what could be clearer.

Look at your behaviour. Look at how hostile you are to anyone who gives no oxygen to the flesh. You HATE correction. It is a sin to you. But it is grace from God.

How can you not see the huge difference between what you want to be seen as affirming and your own behaviour? You want good and proper behaviour? Look back over your posts...they are from the flesh...attacking what is right and true. But you won't see it. I think more people are seeing what you...

The tension exists because God is holy and until we are fully like Christ we are NOT like Him.

The love of God comes with a tension that is unbearable for many. When we see a brother or sister who has God's heavy hand upon him/her we want to help and encourage...which is a very good thing. We suffer together because we are members one of another. But there are many who, when they hear...

Wise sayings brother. Hardly anyone seeks approval from God these days. They are happy thinking they are in a "personal relationship" with a deity. What isn't clear is which deity... :rolleyes:

Free from bondage to sin....not freedom from bad feelings. Those "bad feelings" are required in order to surrender ourselves fully to the Lord to get freedom and comfort from Him. Too many believers comfort themselves and never know eternal rest. The body of Christ is there....not to push away...

There is a big difference between being in the Spirit and being led by the Spirit....or by understanding of the Spirit. I am convinced that Paul wrote those letters when he was not in the Spirit...but he still was informed by the spiritual knowledge and understanding he had gained. Ministering...

I am holding fast what He has given me till He comes~ :) Much love

So you are now saying that you telling me that you left the system churches 25 years ago was just a ploy...??? That you are actually an under-cover agent for American Christianity and the Protestant reformation???? Could the mask need some re-adjustment? :rolleyes:

Much wisdom here. Yes, the mask! The flesh is deceptive, calculating, spoiled, privileged...it's what vain religion does to puff up the outer man with promises of glory without the cross, without sacrifice and without God's approval. And the pretext to all this is a protection of the vulnerable...

LOL Playing innocent as you troll and accuse. You wipe your mouth and say...I have done nothing wrong. All anyone has to do is go back a little ways and read your contribution to this discussion. And where is the "much love" sign off that you like to prop up your posts with? :rolleyes: :contemplate:

Without shedding of blood, there is no holiness. Without Jesus' sacrifice we would need a constant cycle of purification that can never empower us to walk in His holiness. So Jesus' resurrection gives us His LIVING blood to drink in...giving us eternal life and connection to God. We have a...

All you bring is drama and a bruised ego. And a lot of virtue signalling. No one forces you to troll my threads....and yet you hover and wait for me to say ANYTHING that looks even slightly disapproving. So your accusation is really about yourself and your purpose here.

The Hebrew word for sacrifice is karban....which comes from the root Karav meaning to draw near or approach. No one can approach God while in the flesh unless they die. The idea of blood sacrifice means that a life must be given. The sacrifice has to be without blemish or TAMIM...meaning without...

LOL...critical thinking goes overboard if you take any given translation as much credence as the original scriptures. I think you are underthinking it in that you trust in translations...according to the spirit of the age. The word you read as forgiveness is actually freedom from...
