    The social gospel?

    Israel is God's people. When a person sinned against another person there was a restitution...an eye for an eye basically. But towards a holy God there was a life for a life. The life is in the blood. Without blood there is no cleansing...atonement. This should not be confused with forgiveness...

    The social gospel?

    God loved His creation. And instead of leaving us powerless under sin, and needing to be forgiven forever...over and over and over. He decided to send His Son to EMPOWER at least some of us to walk in the same holy perfection as His Son. (Those who love God would give up their own selfish...

    The social gospel?

    Hey... :) You can thank God every day for His forgiveness...because God is merciful. It's His nature to give and give and give, without expecting in return. God is a selfless Giver that's why He loves a cheerful giver. :) When it comes to the cross and those who are looking to continue in...

    The social gospel?

    As I have stated so many times...those who are not in the higher walk of victory over sin and are serious in their seeking of God for His life...are in a transition phase (Wilderness) whereby we rely on God's forgiveness and mercy...as God has always had for those who seek Him. God is merciful...

    The social gospel?

    A carnal understanding of freedom from the law is that one can break the law without consequence...basically an amnesty to commit crimes without penalty. That evil is spread with the modern gospel. A spiritual understanding of freedom from the law is receiving a power that is greater than what...

    The social gospel?

    I behave like a fool to get people to think. I have tried so many approaches. And the hardness of people's hearts is such that I have to almost caricature the truth to debunk their own caricature of who they think God is...and what He is like. That means you are a truth seeker. :) Exactly...

    Hearing God's Voice

    Thank you Wynona. I put so much effort into providing that kind of encouragement it's an encouragement for me to hear that others are encouraged. :) Be blessed! <><

    Hearing God's Voice

    Does God still speak to His people? We have the Bible as a map, but what are we using for a compass? We are guided and empowered into life by the Spirit. So we have both a map and a compass. God still speaks to us, but are we listening?

    The social gospel?

    Carnal and dogmatic believers want the cross to be about forgiveness of sins. Why? Because they are still dead in their sins and want there to be a way out of their constant sinning. Do they believe in God's power through grace? NO. They believe their flesh is stronger than God's grace and that...

    The social gospel?

    False. You are inventing a false gospel. Read what is fulfilled when Jesus reads the scroll on the sabbath. Do you read the Old Testament? This is from Isaiah. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings (gospel) unto the meek; he hath sent me...

    The social gospel?

    False logic and the opposite of sound doctrine. I preach victory over sin which you deny. You only SAY you believe something when the bible says it explicitly...but then you deny it when I repeat the same words without putting in a bible reference. If more people knew the bible or the Spirit...

    The social gospel?

    For LIBERTY from sin. The gospel is about victory over sin. Grace is the power to NOT sin by walking in holiness. Jesus came to set the captives FREE..not molly-coddle the flesh as you exemplify. You are a result of a spoiled false gospel of lawlessness that assumes that God is a respecter of...

    The social gospel?

    You do the very opposite of what most people do. Rather than justify yourself, you take the correction of others for yourself. What humility! What faithfulness. Truly your online name (unlike so many here) is justified. :) Peace to you, sister. <><

    The social gospel?

    A dogmatic, carnal, religionist wants his/her flesh catered to...they want forgiveness for sins they plan on continuing in. These are LAWLESS...no matter how many verses of the bible they twist to defend their scheme. The gospel is about grace that overcomes sin...it's about partaking of the...

    The social gospel?

    Backward. You teach redemption without holiness. You teach unholy forgiveness. A forgiveness without holiness. Because you are unholy and HATE holiness, you want to attack holiness and champion getting away with a continued sinfulness. Lawlessness is your game. Look what Jesus says to those who...

    The social gospel?

    He suffered because they were sinful. He took on their sins and suffered for their iniquity.
  17. Episkopos

    The social gospel?

    The state of the modern church is on full display when preaching holiness is seen as blasphemy. No shame. no fear of God, no humility, no faithfulness, no faith.
  18. Episkopos

    The social gospel?

    What dishonesty. I am uplifting Christ and His suffering and you are the one mocking...you and others here. God is holy...and a vile people rebel against that holiness. All they want is forgiveness for a continual sinning...thus mocking Christ and His cross. I uphold grace even as others stomp...

    The social gospel?

    false. The Romans were obeying the Prefect...Pontius Pilate. Jesus told him...the sin of those who delivered Me to you is greater. Did Jesus forgive the Pharisees? No. Their sin remains.

    The social gospel?

    By going to the cross to be dealt with in the outer man of sin. And being resurrected with Christ into newnes of life to walk as He walked...without sin. In Him is no sin. I pray you will learn more about holiness.
