By accepting Jesus into your heart? By reciting a prayer? How was this manifested? You will take me to mean something bad...as you think that I am like you. Always trying to win....BUT my concern is for the outcome. NO person who will be rejected considers for even a moment that they will be...

Or else only reading the scriptures that fit their view through misapplication... Really? Who is deciding if spiritual reality lines up with our views? That's not the point. The devil is also a spiritual creature. You are confusing eternal life with a good outcome. JW's also make a point...

You are sidewinding here. Apart from your opinions...what makes you think you are born again? It's funny you immediately deflect to self-effort...as if...you think you can be born again by just wanting to be???

Who is defining who is born again? It's too easy to declare yourself to be spiritual....which you refute when shown what that is...and then claim to be exempt from all the warnings of the bible. Isn't that what the pretenders do? Yet the disciples of Jesus asked Him...Lord is it I ??? They were...

Thank you for your human logic. But it isn't truthful or biblical. The original people of God...the Jews can't become unJew can they?...and yet not all are Israel who are of Israel. If they were rejected so can we be..even easier! Do you know Pauline doctrine? Not really. Paul says that we...

All I can do or we can do is appeal to the part of people that God is after...the inward man. I would say that most modern believers are not really in much contact with their inward person because the popular religion tries to entice the entire person...especially the flesh. If a church fails to...

I think that people have a hard time with my way of seeing things because I have an eternal mindset. I'm an eternal type of person. Not knowing people according to the flesh...but in their true eternal state. Why rebuke and reprove? To get people (back?) into an eternal state...according to...

What about the idea of expecting a reward of eternal life in the future age but not entering into that life now? The subject gets confusing. One must endure to the end to be saved. But endure in what exactly? For the saint, it is to receive the hard training of selfless surrender NOW. For the...

Why would you care about your eternal condition apart from being saved?

No beginning and no end...otherwise it isn't eternal.

Safety in numbers? Go with that.

I read a lot of carnal people's various appraisals. I am inviting you to stop with the knee jerk reactions, feelings, and surmisings.....and engage in the biblical doctrines through the text. I sound hard because I have little to nothing to work with that isn't based on human appraisals that...

There is a depth to the ways of Gd that many don't realize. We can sow to the flesh even as we read the bible. How so? When we are looking to boost our own religious certainties we are NOT sowing to the Spirit (God is self-LESS) ...rather, we are sowing to the flesh AND that results in death (a...

There is too much here to respond to. I would stick with the part where you say you think some things I say are right and some are wrong. What do you base either one of these aspects on? What exactly do you find right and wrong? I think that's more helpful rather than getting too...

As in..look I'm not reading this for self-interest.....but hey look, my self-interest is satisfied anyway! Isn't that special?!? The flesh can't help itself...

Paul didn't expect that his writings would be seen as scripture...of course there is a difference between the prophetic nature of the OT and the testimonial revelations of the NT. But sure..I'll lay out Romans 3. It is a little longer...but bear with me...;) Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath...

You seem to agree but you also seem to disagree. You want assurances before you understand the text you are reading...so then you are reading TO FIND that assurance, rather than reading to understand. You are divided in your intent. A heretic divides the truth into what serves him/her. Any...

In our country the northern people are called Inuit...or Dene ....not Eskimo. ;) Am I hard on spoiled carnal people who refuse to get off their own self-interest? Is it OK to rebuke a self-seeker in order to wake them up to the truth? Or are we all to just sleep quietly into eternal judgment...

Many who are NOT growing here remain carnal because they read the bible wrong. My correction of these is taken as a personal attack so often...as these have become spoiled through constant affirmation of the flesh and are used to reacting in the flesh..attacking, and basically throwing tantrums...

Not every scripture is about you. Not every scripture is there to justify you. You feeling sorry for me for missing out on the same ego boost as you receive is very misplaced. You need to grow beyond the beginner stage...the self-interested stage...IF you want to actually learn and grow and have...
