    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The hypocrisy of your stance is that those who sin 100% of the time (using your extremist view) and then claim to be as righteous as Christ by imputation are somehow not the worst hypocrites and self-righteous religionists of all time...making even the Pharisees blush.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Take an indoctrinated person who has been hypnotized into thinking that a certain place is in the lower town. Then try to tell that person that the same place is NOT in the upper town. Since there is no word "upper" in the dogmatic stance that has been endlessly repeated (without a clue as to...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    What are you trying to justify? People who start their own ministries? The Catholic "Magisterium"? You are playing the opposite verse game without considering the other verses.. "But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    This is against those who believe that they are not responsible for sin....the Gnostics....like Behold. These deny that people sin by nature and that Jesus wipes out even the sins they commit all the time. So John is given them a reality check. If people sin from the abiding place in Christ it...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I'm the only one here with the honesty (except Shep) to answer questions. I have asked you a few and you will never respond...and I don't expect that kind of honesty. Why be honest when honesty is not required for salvation...in the popular mindset. But I answered your question in depth...if...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    All have sinned in the past and will continue to sin as long as the outer man remains uncrucified. Jesus came to set us free...but we have to forsake our lives as we know them in a full surrender to be dealt with at the cross of Christ. There are many here who are enemies of the cross even as...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Being cast away from God's presence where there is no light...God Himself being the only light in the next age.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    That's a fiction. Many who claim to follow Christ today will spend an eternity in outer darkness. And many will also be guests...it depends on the claims. But the saints are few indeed...especially in these times. A feel good religion and the way of Christ are mutually exclusive.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    It depends on the level one is walking at. If Paul says it is no longer I who lives...but Christ who lives in me....then how is Paul doing any labour? And then there's the semantic of Paul operating PHYSICALLY while being empowered SPIRITUALLY.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You are simply claiming what you say I'm claiming. And I'm saying that you don't know the depth of that which you speak. I find you only pipe up to attack me and my message...when you smell blood in the water. So maybe a lot of your cohorts are no longer here to drag the truth through the mud...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Actually we need to get more specific. I teach what the man-made teachings avoid like the plague. But if we do not heed the warnings of the bible then we have no share in the glory testified to in the bible.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The now and then experiences are still OT. The NT provides a steady walk in the Spirit by the keeping power of God...that lasts indefinitely. The difference between dew and rain.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Take your eyes off yourself and onto God. I think people look for the easy resolution without all the tension and the correct weight of warning. You don't arrive at peace from God with the ego intact. My testimony revolves around the value of a full surrender to God...not a religious...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    There is a popular thought out there that says...anything I do that's good is not me, it's Jesus; and anything I do bad is me. I suppose this is meant to give God some kind of credit. But there are not two separate trees for good and for evil. No, there is one tree of the knowledge of good and...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Yes, I fell from a very high place and it was devastating. I was in a daze for the first few years after that. I thought I'd blown it with God...in a permanent rejection. But over time I came to realize that I did great when the grace was raining...but the Lord wanted me to humble myself and be...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    This requires a full surrender to God with a WHOLE HEART. As in...you will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. Coming from a rich country it's very hard for us to need God to that degree. Jesus said that it was very hard (or impossible) for a rich man to enter into the kingdom. But...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    That is a popular misconception. Forgiveness is Old Testament. Holiness and glorious perfection are New Testament. Read what God says on the subject in chapters 18 and 33 of Ezekiel. God judges by what we DO not what we believe. Beliefs are not salvific. Faith in God to do the impossible is what...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I didn't write the bible or form the heavens and earth. The higher walk is for those whom God elects to do that. To be bothered by that is a sin of pride against the ways of God...a sin that is unable to esteem oneself as small or unimportant. I think you place too much importance on yourself...

    False Balance in the Modern Church

    I post this here not so much because I think the doctrine is unorthodox, but because it will be controversial....controversial and true. What keeps us from experiencing the life and power of the early church? Are we ready to let go of many of our modern interpretations of the bible in favour...

    A sound judgment is as lacking today as a sound doctrine since these both require discernment.
