    Amen! :) If someone is truly born of the Spirit then they will eventually see all that I'm saying. To these...God will reveal even this to you.

    Eternal Life is Now!

    You are stuck in Romans 6. This chapter is about the first experience of salvation. Romans 7 goes on to explain the need to be crucified AFTER that experience. Paul says that he was free from the law...walking by the Spirit in Christ and then..."sin revived and I died"...he says. Paul still had...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Why are those who preach the cross and the crucified life within the church hated so much? It is based on the default self-defense mechanism that is built into the flesh. Many have no idea of the part of themselves that God seeks fellowship with...that the New Covenant is CUT with. How many...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    The flesh inverts what is true to be something false. Jesus was seen as evil...and still is by many. Was He? Or was it the unbelief that characterizes the outer man ego...that judged Him to be that way? The same thing goes for those who have taken only the first step in the Christian life...but...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    What side of your mouth are you speaking out of? :ummm: You asked me to go to the trouble of explaining Romans 4...as you thought you could justify yourself there. When I broke it down...and showed you that this chapter is NOT about the Christian you did exactly what you say I do...you...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    What part of you is responding? Is it the part of you that is broken before the Lord...or your reflex outer self-protection? I put down the outer man to uplift the inner man. Read the bible. The truth IS HARD on the flesh...but easy on the spirit. What people do is assume that all the hard stuff...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    What commentaries?? I'm taught of the Lord...both by the Spirit and the word. I have posted many such explanations of Paul...especially from Romans. What I find is that when I go to the trouble of explaining things, many will be totally unable to read it, comprehend it, and comment on what I...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Post #39 is not area 51. :ummm: Go back to page 2 and see what I wrote. If you want a more in-depth teaching...go to my podcasts. That's why I go to the trouble of making them...so I don't have to repeat the same things over and over again. :) My ministry is about saving believers..to become...

    Avoiding : The Cults.. #2 : CALVINISM -"TULIP"

    From faith to faith means we begin with a human faith...trusting in God...and After we are quickened into life by the Spirit we take on the faith OF Christ...to walk as He walked. Jesus said that even the smallest amount of faith (human faith...no!) could move mountains. Our faith does not give...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    You are not understanding Paul...instead following his evil twin sister...Pauline. Peter warns us about twisting Paul's words to serve our own religious self-interest. You have swallowed the bait, hook, line, sinker, and boat....thinking you have something other than a decoy that is offered in...

    Avoiding : The Cults.. #2 : CALVINISM -"TULIP"

    I suppose I have to be. As an author and podcaster, I suppose I am a teacher. Not very good in speech...but I do see so many going astray, NOT understanding God's ways...instead following a religion that men have put together...without God's approval. My ministry is to the church. It's far...

    Avoiding : The Cults.. #2 : CALVINISM -"TULIP"

    I think you are seeing the difference between a bible follower and a Christ follower. One is by the deadness of the letter...the other by the prompting (newness) of the SPIRIT that gives LIFE.

    Eternal Life is Now!

    In your scheme it is religious and foolish to follow Christ into selflessness ...but the way to God you see by following a carnal self-interest that promises much for nothing...carnality intact. Yep....you truly have your poles reversed. But who sees that? :ummm:

    Eternal Life is Now!

    What??? You have read the bible, right? ;) Anyway check out post #39... do a study on the wanderers, outer darkness, those who are rejected, spit out, bound and cast away... etc... So that self-interested ones don't catch on...only a deeper study will show...very much show, how God balances out...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    I wish you well in your study. I hope you read Hebrew. Much is hidden in the book on that level.
  16. Episkopos

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Yes...I always prove the truth with scripture. And the dishonesty of some here is that once they have been soundly refuted...they ignore the teaching...as they do all the sound doctrines of the bible. Nobody can force a person to be honest or honourable. The indoctrination is so flawed as to...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    It only looks like that to those who pamper the flesh and twist the bible in order to justify it. Any suffering for you is a martyr complex. The extreme unbalance of your position makes you continually make false conclusions.
  18. Episkopos

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Very superficial...leading to false conclusions. God doesn't want to spoil our flesh...no..those He loves He whips and beats...the temple of God was built on a threshing floor. Look up what threshing entails...beating and whipping. So you have God all wrong and will be with the pretenders on...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    Oh my. You still don't realize that one is SAVED into outer darkness. The wicked of the earth are cast into the lake of fire to be burned up there. Your superficial reading of the bible is showing. Like the Stevie Wonder song that goes... ♪ very superficial ♪ the writing's on the wall ♪ When...
