    So then what do you judge from? What is your platform to judge people outside the faith? You don't see yourself. You are extremely judgmental. Based on what? You will say what is written in the bible. The Pharisees also judged people from the bible. Yet Jesus seemed to go a lot easier on those...

    You have not understood anything beyond a dogmatic belief up to this point. You are not going to understand anything I try explaining to you.

    As long as you see the one you are in...religious theories aside. An actual spiritual condition, not name it claim it religion. Why not come out of the ditch of iniquity? Stop judging from yourself and stop being so religiously certain. Seek God for His approval. Seek God to be crucified from...

    You only see one aspect of the church's fall. On the liberal side the church is moving towards liberalism...permissiveness, compromise and carnality. But what conservatives don't see is even worse. The Pharisees were NOT liberal, they were conservative. And just like so many modern believers...

    SORRY! This Forum doesn't allow discussion about Jesus.

    Where do you see the joy in what Jesus had to suffer? What religion is that? Evangelicalism?

    Exactly. The wildernesses walk. From there we are to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness....not assuming and presuming that one is more advanced than one is. Otherwise what is good can become a lie as people name and claim something that they have not yet attained. If people think they...

    The full stature of Christ is a character issue. Maturity. That is the attaining. The apprehension that is of Christ is a purity issue. Holiness. Hence the way I warn people who will hiss at those who failed to warn them.

    Think it through. Jesus said...No man comes to Me unless the Father draws Him. And this isn't speaking of the religious version of churchianity whereby people decide for themselves that they are "saved", "righteous", a little bit holy, disciples....etc

    Keep in mind that Peter said he was ready to die with Jesus...that is...until he was tested.

    Evidence of spiritual regeneration - the conversion experience

    Love in the eyes...joy, a profound peace...humility, and the fear of the Lord. :)

    Evidence of spiritual regeneration - the conversion experience

    Agreed. But it's not how we begin a race but how we finish it that counts. A person can have a slow start to a race...like a person with an unclear regeneration experience...something vague or not defined clearly. And yet they can thrive because they are humble and teachable. Others have a more...

    That's true in a sense. A person can know little to nothing about a subject and still be a student. But being a disciple of Christ comes with certain conditions. The school of Christ is very exclusive. And people will confuse the exclusivity of being a disciple of Christ with a future...

    Trying to preach a low-resolution level of the gospel to non-believers is much easier than trying to get first cut believers to receive anything that goes beyond a carnal grasp of things. Especially when the truth is deviated to serve the "converted" religious ego. The gospel in full resolution...

    False. Of course you say it's both. But you don't know a mutually exclusive proposition when you see one. Holiness is NOT progressive. I have said this here many times. Can you be half-holy? What does a little leaven do to the batch? The bible speaks of progression in righteousness...not...

    The political scene is just a reflection of a very poor state among supposed believers. The poor state and dishonesty of people who claim to be the church causes spiritual chaos to reign...leaving room for every possible deviation from all that is wholesome and true. It's a trickle down...

    I am spot on...both in my easy to understand explanations of the bible...which is still way over the heads of those who misuse the bible for their own ends. Better your foolish ideas perish without you than with you. You can repent. The false accusers are yourself and the other pretenders here...

    You and others here are in a trap already. A two-dimensional religious trap that misuses the bible and misquotes the Lord and His apostles...to create a scheme that is based on a lie. You deny one verse to try supporting another...which you have misunderstood. And this happens because your...

    Exactly what I've been trying to get you to understand. There is no progressive sanctification. It is a gift. Either one is holy or not. Salvation is about victory over sin and the world...to walk as Jesus walked. Why do you neglect so great a salvation? NO. You CLAIM to have a righteousness...

    1. Jesus only allows for being either hot or cold. He rejects the lukewarm. He said... I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot. [16] So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. What follows is a lesson...

    You are not interested in what the bible is communicating. You need to read the bible without the indoctrination. In the passages that follow what is the criteria for being written into the Book of Life??? I will colour in the answer in case your reading comprehension is not up to par (unless...
