    If you can do it...go for it. :) Actually, you are conflating two different things here. The higher walk is not about maturity...but PURITY...being without sin in the perfection of Christ. Even a fool can walk in purity...in holiness. Notice this. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and...

    That's great! The Bereans likewise took notes and compared what Paul taught with the scriptures. That's the whole point of the video and everything I do. I don't want people just agreeing with me. I'm looking for a deeper fellowship with fellow disciples. The church system tells people what to...

    I think maybe you are getting carried away with your role on the thread. And you don't have to be "part of" this thread. But if you must persist in your role... I preach Christ...not Paul. The kingdom of God, not a wrong understanding of grace as you teach. My doctrine is biblical and...

    I thank you for your contribution to this thread...on how someone would try to defend the modern gospel against the truth. I think it is necessary for someone to play devil's advocate so that any flaw in one's grasp of the truth could be exposed. Jewish theology has the devil being a servant...

    For those who are visiting this thread which is about spiritual warfare...some of the members here are displaying, for the purpose of this thread, the kind of lies that have infiltrated into the churches. These will do so whether they realize it or not. But I appreciate the opportunity to...

    The bible teaches that the cross is about holiness. If you read the bible you will see that God is ever merciful and forgiving. If you only read what Paul has written, you will go off in your understanding to the point where you deny Christ and the gospel. Peter warns us of what unlearned and...

    I think that all of you who are stuck on believing in Jesus or not...and how important it is..how it is a "dire need" as I hear those who need Christ right now...these should get on with it...and do it! Believe! If you have a theory on how to become a believer, then I suggest you follow through...

    It's very easy to understand that you have settled on a different gospel than what Paul or Jesus preached....you are not paying attention to the bible at all. You are on your own. OK maybe you have cohorts here that also reject the truth. If you have to throw out Jesus from your equation to...

    So in your scheme whoever preaches the same gospel as Jesus preached....the gospel of the kingdom of God...is accursed??? I hope a few readers will be able to deduce what you are peddling here. A MASSIVE confusion. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness...

    According to reading skills and the Spirit...I am right...and you are twisting the meaning of the gospel into a pretzel. :Ohpleze: You know you lie. The foundation which is Christ....not "Christ in you". My statement is biblical. Yours is according to your feelings based on a more Buddhist...

    Nonsense. You would have Paul stating that anyone who preached the gospel of the kingdom of God should be anathema...rather than he condemning what you are doing. Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom, the same as Jesus did. He entered the synagogue, and for three months debated boldly with...

    You have misunderstood Paul's mission completely. The gospel of the kingdom is entered into by grace through faith. But Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom No. At Pentecost the Spirit was poured out on ALL flesh starting with the Jews. Do you realize that the early Christians were Jews...

    God sent Paul to spread the gospel of Christ...the gospel of the kingdom...not ignore Jesus' words as you suggest. In Christ is neither Jew nor Gentile...a spiritual realm doesn't respect persons. It is open to all. And the time of the Gentiles is also the time of the Jews...as neither are a...

    God recognized Abraham's childlike trust in Him as a good thing. Abraham did what was right in God's sight...therefore he was justified for his faith. Paul uses Abraham as an example of being declared righteous by faith alone apart from works. This is a precedent from the Torah that shows us...

    What modern churchianity has done is refused the higher walk in holiness and rather has pushed the righteous off their righteousness to claim that level for themselves. A great evil in God's sight. As it is written... Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have...

    Paul was running a race to no longer have his own righteous covering under the law....even though he was "blameless" under the law. He forsook that to put on Christ and walk in His righteousness. Does that mean that there is no such thing as human righteousness? Of course not. Paul was ONLY...

    I know what words mean. And I know what religion does to words. The modern dictionaries have a religious definition that goes contrary to the normal definition...why? Because it is a popular misconception that has become part of the culture. Like the word "bad" now means something good....in the...

    Jewish verses? Look what the bible has to say about what you are doing...as you go against the words of Jesus. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing...

    The bible portrays things as God sees them. Naturally, somebody who has a bent towards thinking that there is no such thing as a human righteousness will have no choice but to turn his understanding away from the plain text. This is false. I have tried to explain certain words in English...
