    Misunderstanding Paul with Tovia Singer

    The whole idea of Jesus being blamed for the sins of men by a righteous God so that He would see dishonest and rebellious sinners as being as pure and blameless as Jesus IN their sins...is a fable...an outright lie. Keep publishing iniquity...because it is foretold this would happen. But woe...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Agree with you on the second point...but on the first, Babylon is much bigger than any one church organization. Luther wanted a big institution...a rival organization...and with all the various religions opinions out there, made thousands of denominations...with their affiliate franchises. God...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Do you drink the blood of Christ and eat His flesh? Or do you just "fluff it"?

    Misunderstanding Paul with Tovia Singer

    People, believers included, tend to respect credentials...human credentials... as if these qualify a person to represent God. But God doesn't choose what men choose. God has another way. His ways are much higher, and deeper than the ways of men. Men look outwardly...but God looks inwardly. Many...

    The Key to Discipleship

    In your religious opinion. Of course the modern understanding of being born again means a simple mind decision...nothing there. The opposite is true. It is by way of the cross that the inner man is lifted into the kingdom realm. Wisdom comes little by little. Understanding comes in an...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    This is naive. The bible is not about world history or foreign policies....it's about spiritual revelation. The carnal mind is a barrier to understanding the bible. Don't be fooled by physical comparisons.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    That is obvious...and the limit of your understanding..what is obvious. But to run according to men or your own standard...as opposed to the standard of Christ indeed gets us disqualified. Calling oneself saved doesn't make it so. Reading the bible doesn't make someone a doer of the word...

    The Key to Discipleship

    This is where your unbelief comes into play. I have known all truth...in the Person of Christ....walking In Him...walking as He did. Your position is that of an unbeliever....biblically speaking...in truth. "Howbeit when the Spirit of truth, is come, it will guide you into all truth: for it...

    The Key to Discipleship

    You mean you haven't found anyone that agrees with you on all points...you being the paragon of orthodoxy. :ummm: How would you know the truth is you encountered it? You have neither humility nor the fear of the Lord. As such, you will never understand anything deeper than your own mind...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    All your own ideas...fully unbiblical. It's too funny that a bible verse means nothing to fundamentalist types when it gets in the way of their own surmising. Some here have a very Taliban like judgmentalism against non-believers...they're all going to hell, they say. Are you saying that...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    What of...let His blood be on us and our children? Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Matt 27:26 And how then can the responsibility for Jesus' death be on all men at all times and yet not on Jews for all time?
  12. Episkopos

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    What I see is that the blood guilt of Christ on the Jews at that time (and also into the future) necessitated a more back and white approach to salvation for these...for these it was believe or perish. Among these we see the "dire need to believe on Christ." Unfortunately, people misunderstand...

    The social gospel?

    A self-righteous person is such because he BELIEVES he is righteous (for whatever reason). Seeking until you find means an actual connection to God through visitation and empowering. You are using double-speak to justify yourself.There is no "right faith, and wrong faith".... this proves that...

    The social gospel?

    "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33
  15. Episkopos

    The social gospel?

    That's true. I preach a holy Jesus who atoned for the sins of the world...and was raised to justify all who walk in His resurrection life. The cross is about taking AWAY the sins of the world...not just covering them up or pretending that people are not carnal and sinful...even as they name and...

    The social gospel?

    When I think of what could be termed as being a social gospel, I think of people like Gandhi, Oprah, or MLK (Martin Luther King) Of the 3 only the latter could be termed as preaching a social gospel, as he was a minister of religion....aka a pastor. Mlk used the life of Jesus as something to...

    Right Faith vs Wrong Faith

    What you are really trying to say is that there are right religious "beliefs" and wrong religious "beliefs". This has nothing to do with the bible at all. Since the devil can't change the bible itself, what he does is redefine words. Words like "faith"...now become beliefs. Words like...

    The Key to Discipleship

    This is due to your confusion....the difference between being merciful and being unequally yoked. I asked you if you were married to a believer...no response, concerning being unequally yoked. Yet do I harp on all the things you ignore?..no, I expect you to be dishonest. So are you unequally...

    Whom God loves He chastens and whips. Why?...to save our souls. The wounds of a brother are faithful...

    The Key to Discipleship

    Thanks brother. There is a chasm between being a normal human walking out his/her faith...and there is a completely surrendered life in holiness where it is no longer you doing things...fully controlled or "possessed" of God. If we want out...God lets us out, He is a Gentleman. But getting...
