I don't think you see how petty those who are against me are. Complaining when people agree with me? The religious system tries to control people and what they believe...like the Inquisition in times past. That same spirit animates religious people everywhere.

Then say you are when someone gets you wrong and deviates the warnings. I think your opinion changes from person to person. See my other response. You HATE that there are others who see through the many many obfuscations. As long as it is just me as an outlier...that can be handled. But if...

I'm being sincere...but others here..?? Maybe looking for approval.joy:

If someone misunderstands you and you don't correct them because you seem to want people to accept you...then what part of that is taking responsibility. A poster here likened your statement to the US as a society...after I was speaking about the church ...as a deviation from what I said.....and...

You are proud and deluded. Putting on an act...you don't know what truth and reality are. I'm not playing a game. You can fool pretenders perhaps...

No, read it and obey Jesus...ask, seek, and knock....seek first for the kingdom... seek God and live! He was, yes...but he fails to mention you, even once. false. He was imputed righteousness because in God's eyes his faith merited that. same for the Publican. same for the thief on the...

I have to put up with a lot of hubris here...but I have a genuine concern for the eternal state of people. Why not allow oneself to be examined and corrected now...before the judgment. Why not make your calling and election sure? Hiding behind vague declarations? Accepting doctrines that have...

You are reading a bible. Did Abraham just read a bible before God justified him? Or was there a real contact/encounter? Did Abraham walk away AFTER being justified by God thinking that he was justified? Of course not. And God seeing him as righteous as Himself? Even more preposterous. Even...

You have to see the difference between what God knows (all) and what we know (little). Do you see that? :rolleyes: Neat? What about being obedient? Or does that sound too much like works to you? It is for some here. Amen. We are called to be holy as God is holy....by entering into Christ...

False. You are naming and claiming a righteousness for yourself that you read about in the bible. Who imputes it? You do. That's exactly my point. Believe this or that and be saved??? :ummm: God has no say in it...at least not in reality. Two different standards...neither of which you...

Way to deviate the responsibility back onto the "heathen" society and wash your hands of any responsibility for the state of the world. Just ONE saint can displace a LOT of evil in a place. But a little leaven leavens the whole batch.

I am like a voice crying in the wilderness..against all the smug self-righteousness that has been a result of a deviated anemic gospel that fills the pews...but not heaven.

You should be saying "look at US right now" not just a fallen state like the US. Pushing the spiritual poverty problem onto the outside society is a ploy that washes one's hands of the responsibility for being a light to the world. So spoiled? The false gospel caters to the flesh. Emotional...

One does not go to a discussion board and say...I was saved by grace through faith. Anybody can read that out of a bible. How does one know that? Religious certainty? Indoctrination? It is finished? The vagueness of these religious slogans doesn't help but hinders others. It is...

When asked, a person should be honest enough to lay it out. Is burying a talent a testimony? I find a lot of people have no testimony to speak of and that's why they are reticent to share. Paul was not walking in the higher walk at that particular time. Whether present of absent. All part of...

Found this today... "The devil is not fighting religion. He’s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it." Vince Havner Other quotes of his... "The temple of truth has never suffered so much...

The truth is a danger to imaginative religiosity! :) IS that what you are trying to do? ;) I pray FOR young people to turn to God with faith. But a LOT of religious beliefs. Where I am permitted to. False theology is now the norm....hence the state of the modern church. The church is...

What people have a hard time figuring out is that both have an ASPECT of the truth. Arminius championed righteousness...and Calvin championed holiness. But each relied on a human one-sided understanding We see this with Pelagius and Constantine as well. What wins out usually is the holiness...

I make precise descriptions...and you respond with vagueness. "I have eternal life my friend" you say...no description, no testimony...just have to put my trust in you because you say so. Everything you accuse me of you are actually doing...in reality. In the pretend world you have things...

You are using righteousness commands...whereby I'm speaking about holiness.
