Agreed. But that can be something bad as well as good. I agree that interpretations, translations, and human agendas, have basically spoiled the gospel for most people. Maybe 90% of believers or would be believers have gone astray through a lack of instruction and false teachings. BUT, without...

Seeing through a glass darkly can be misunderstood to mean that we never get any clear picture of what's going on. But we see as God permits us to see. If we saw everything there was at one time we would be overwhelmed by the experience. So instead of seeing many angels moving about, we might be...

Amen and welcome to the forum. :) An awards ceremony? Maybe for some. But others, many others, will suffer loss. That's not a getting something, but a losing something. Like taking their shame and nakedness into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. In a great house there...

The cross is not about status, it's about power....the power to overcome as Jesus overcame. To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Rev. 3:21 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by...

People accuse me of basing things on experiences, but that is not the case. The only foundation is Jesus Christ...that is obvious. But if we make our foundation OUR experience of Jesus then we have become subjective...and can be off by a country mile. There is no foundation but Christ...not...

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27 We all know the first part of the verse. My sheep hear My voice. But the second part...the "I know them" and they follow Me...tells us something important. How can Jesus know us unless He visits us? Or else we go to be...

Agree with that of course. The good gets in the way of the perfect. What seems like a good foundation can be such as long as unrighteousness is avoided. That's my concern...holding the truth in unrighteousness. Calling something that isn't as if it is something that is ....gets a person cut...

You are missing the point. The first step in helping someone is to identify what's wrong with them...not defend their sin. You don't know me at all. It is God's power that saves us...that's what grace is....the power of God us-ward who believe. So as usual, you get things backward. In all...

To catch a monkey, people will put a shiny object at the bottom of a bottle. Once the monkey gets a grip on the shiny object he won't let go. It just so happens that the neck of the bottle is just big enough to allow the monkeys hand to slip in...but too small to allow a fist full of shiny...

What do you do with the 90% or more of believers (pastors too) and men mainly...who struggle with sins like pornography? Do you say that they are under grace? Are people who are under sin's control under grace or the law? A lot of ideology but no power. A lot of theory but where is the truth...

So, you are here for political reasons...trying to balance out the voting? What about what is being said? If many people agree with a lie...does that mean it's legit? If some people agree with the truth...is that suspect?

Matthew 26:28 ""This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the FREEDOM from sin."" Jesus came to set the captives free. :) The gospel gives us power over sin...that we should be slaves of sin no longer.

Are you saying that walking like Jesus could earn us God's wrath?

That is wrong thinking. You need to get your questions right before you can understand the answers. No. As stated the bible testifies of the cross as what sanctifies a people for God. Do a study on sanctification/holiness...a careful one.

Why do you think that to call someone your follower is an insult to them? :ummm: No. Entering into Christ is to be translated into Him to abide in Him and walk as He walked. Maybe you didn't get the memo. :cool:

You have a point there. Youtube is one of the platforms that my podcasts are on. Also I wrote a book...and I write on this forum. But last I checked google wasn't a real person. It should be very helpful. Most people have no understanding of spiritual things and preach vaguenesses so that...

You remind me of the black knight in Monty Python who, having lost both arms and both legs in the confrontation, continues to be belligerent saying that he will now use his teeth. hmmx1: A person who doesn't realize when he is fully outmatched.

I'm sorry you trust google. :) That's not how the gospel works. You want an instant forgiveness don't you? But you don't want to be holy? This proves we have a carnal agenda... But anyone who abides in Christ walks as He walked without sin. In Him is no sin. We can't walk without sin in our own...

The original scriptures are in Hebrew. Jesus quotes the scripture...in Hebrew that describes what He came to do. So then its better to go to the Hebrew in Is. 61:1. The writers of the NT translated the word "deror"...liberty as "aphesis". So we have to continue to translate that word in the same...

Holiness is on another level of justification...a higher righteousness. God doesn't judge the world by the standard of holiness....but on what they have done with what they have been given. Loving others as ourselves. On that level ALL the earth will be judged. Holiness is about walking as...
