Jesus is the author and finisher of faith. Ahem. You just said we are NOT going to be perfected by the flesh. So then learning and battling are OUT. The holy walk is about being hidden in God. He does the fighting for us there. There is no battling except against the lies that war outside of...

This is such an important consideration...but one that is very hard to go public with. There is a difficulty in describing what a functioning Christian marriage looks like. So in our time many of the aspects could be seen as controversial since the foundation of all intimacy is spiritual in...

Another thing that is done to eliminate the 4 destinies is to describe the book of life at the GWT judgment as a book of death...as if all who are resurrected to stand before the GWT are thrown into the lake of fire. Again, with a little reading skills and some honesty, the text doesn't say...

Again, reading skills and honesty are required to be able to understand what is written. I've already heard many of the ways to misunderstand the text. Wandering forever is not the same as wandering now. A four year old can discern the difference.

To all who have been taken captive by religious conventions that are not supported by the bible...I pray that God gives each one understanding.

Selective reading. Life and death and blessing and cursing. 4 variables. 4 possibilities. Of course only the living have access to the other 2 possibilities of blessing and cursing. Not so. All who believe in Jesus have passed from death to life...or do you deny that? Then it becomes a...

Paul said he was blameless according to the law. The law could only be administered by breaking it OUTWARDLY. No one can judge the thoughts of a person if no action ensued. Jesus came to clarify the spiritual nature of the law ...which is about what a person is in thought as as well as action...

LOL. False. You are justifying yourself by spreading falsehood. You are seeing the Pharisee in Paul. I see the weak uncrucified believer. Be very careful how you see with those Pharisee eyes. o_O Paul was a Christian in Romans 7 in need of going to the cross. Romans 7 is the realization that...

Sure. Overcoming our outward sins...very OT, but necessary if one is not in the Spirit. As long as you realize that this is not the gospel. The gospel is about an instant freedom from sin through holiness...as a gift of grace through faith...a change of location (kingdom walk) into being no...

Selective readers will only see two destinies even when all four are being clearly delineated. Way before there can be any sort of spiritual discernment and understanding...there has to be an honesty in reading the text. Before God helps us to understand what is hidden from the natural mind...

Outward sins can be stopped by human means.....through devotion, discipline, consecration....love of the truth, etc. But inward sins can ONLY be overcome by a change of nature where there is love, joy, and peace, that pushes aside...opinions, human evaluations, unbelief, self-interest, false...

This is the book for the Chasid...the devout ones...all by God's mercy. The Precious stones.

On the one side there is tradition, what has become popular and useful to the greater numbers of people. Many factors shape what becomes popular. On the other side is the truth of the matter. The truth doesn't change through all of the factors that shape daily life. The words of God don't...

You are getting to know some of the members here I see.. ;)

To you? To you? I don't think you get to decide what the bible is saying. There are 3 books for judgment according to the bible. 1. The Book of Life 2. The Lamb's Book of Life 3. The Book of Remembrance. Do a study....

God is very merciful. He has mercy on those who show mercy, and has compassion on those who show compassion. Those who don't judge, He goes easy on...mercy triumphs over judgment. God will even justify the ungodly. Not all the ungodly, but those who He deems worthy of mercy. God loves the...

As in ...whoever doesn't believe in Me has eternal life? :rolleyes: Fear not men who can kill the body...but fear God who can kill both body and soul in the lake of fire.

You would have to first cover reading skills...and then basic honesty. Discernment is WAYYY down the road from there. ;)

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” Rev. 22:11 Notice the above words of Jesus. Now I have a rule of 4 whereby a four year old can count...

What part of Jesus's words do you find so offensive?
