Very wrong and muddled thinking. God can only impute something that He sees as real. The justification of the elect is that they walk in the resurrection life of Christ...without sin. Totally false. No sin was ever imputed to Christ...who knew NO SIN. So you are barking up the wrong tree...

Not at all. If that was the case then ONLY the holy could be judged. But God holds us all responsible for our actions. We can all at least love others as ourselves. The presence of God. God is holy. For us to be holy as He is holy we need to go to Him and be where He is. Even the holy angels...

Kind of. The bible can be read on more than one level. But as soon as person reads the bible to justify themselves they fall into trap. At its deeper level the bible is more a book of questions than of answers. People will be tempted to think they have found the answers without any experience of...

Where does unkindness lead...do you think? A "mob" mentality, perhaps? :contemplate:

This is a difficult line of questioning. It's hard to know who has been planted by the enemy....tares among the wheat...and those who are just deceived and immature. I struggle with that as it can be very hard to tell. I expose a LOT of error here. But I can't explore the end of it without being...

The first cut..yes. But those who persecute the saints ARE the religious ones. So the mob in the church persecutes the servants of God WITHIN the church. It has always been this way. There is war with the outside...but Jesus was crucified by His own people. But you had a good comment. :)

which is NOT the gospel. You are definitely not like the lady who rejoiced at finding the lost coin You would have to admit, in the analogy, that the baby is not yours. There is in the carnal representation...just not in the spiritual brotherhood. Jesus came to bring a sword and fire.

There's not much that can happen when there is a willful ignorance and hostility towards any effort at trying to dispel the vagueness that allows the enemy to steal away the truth from people. People don't realize who they are really working for. Forgive them Father they know not what they do...

LOL I think you are right about being insufferable...as you display yourself. Look at how you not only twist my words...but then say the same thing to justify your own errant views. Without any honesty at all. A two-sided coin? A gospel with two sides? A law with two levels? Exactly what I...

You have not understood anything I said. And your comments are like a dog chasing its own tail Why didn't you mention Pelagius or global warming? And you seem obsessed with your own lack of relationship with God. The "ordinary folk" obey God as they can...through hospitality, kindness, service...

Here is the crux of the issue. Do we need an active imagination to be Christian where things need to be assumed or presumed....or...are we to tear down imaginations and anything that exalts itself above an actual knowledge of God? I don't know how many are following this thread ...but I think...

I suppose my efforts here are like trying to teach advanced physics to kids playing in a puddle and all they want to do is splash mud on your treatise. It does make for an interesting plot...if it is a kids movie. :dusted: joy::backtop:

LOL. Is it obstinacy or tenacity? There are many voices that come to us as believers trying to seduce us away from the truth...that is true. Just like Ulysses had his sirens...so we have deceiving spirits tempting us to "go with the flow"...make friends and influence people... live your best...

Amen. and agreed. That's what people call a "positional theology" which I oppose as it is based on imagination. Spiritual warfare consists of tearing down imaginations. These things are real bro! Now, I understand that nobody likes their mind-palaces torn down. I appreciate that. But...

Are you claiming to be sent by God to correct my "foundation"...to turn inward rather than heavenward? I know how the carnal mind works..but no compartmentalizing of a carnal mind leads to the kingdom life of God. The balance is in both the mercy and judgment of God. It's in the goodness and...

In whose mind? You have an artificial grasp of what constitutes victory in Christ. Those who walk in the higher kingdom walk experience victory....overcoming as Jesus overcame. Agreed...if that is their motive. But only God judges the heart. It isn't right for you to judge the motives of...

Good works are good, not bad as you suggest. Otherwise the bible would call them, bad works ...or dead works. You are heavily influenced by Islam. There is no going to heaven when you are dead...only when you are alive. Seek first the kingdom...now. No. You are misrepresenting an obedience...

It's funny how many ways there are to deviate from the truth. It's like a field full of arrows with nary a one on the target. Arrows in trees, stuck in the grass...on the side of buildings....through windows...etc. Sin in its basic form means to miss the mark. And that's when we are actually...

This is a good forum because they are not deciding who is speaking the truth and who is not. So often a forum is run by the same bullies that chase the meek out of the institutions. Bullies do try to intimidate here too..but are rebuffed...much to the consternation of bullies who are used to...

Does it make you feel bad EG? Resentful? A carnal person doesn't realize how that carnality sticks out like a big red flag. God is love. And the brethren have love one for another...we are members one of another. That is fully outside the ego comparisons you are trying to make. I realize you...
