    "As also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." 2 Pet. 3:16

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Again...you should be seeing yourself in the Pharisees. Jesus hung out with sinners...and people such as yourself then questioned the kind of unity that Jesus was seeking...what? sinners? Doesn't He realize that there is NO fellowship with the world. Everything you post is based on a...

    John MacArthur on N.T. Wright

    You obviously have a very high opinion of your own analysis. There's nothing like over-confidence. The irony in this condemning attitude is that tomorrow if you gain some knowledge and understanding you will claim that anyone who holds onto the position you held yesterday is a false teacher...

    Do you realize that it takes MORE time to do a video than to do a post? And the video has a far greater range of depth analysis because others are involved that reveal their own positions?

    Of course. :) Religious people are quick to condemn. And yet, so often it is the beam in one's eye that can't discern the depth of the problem...whether it is actually much less than oneself.

    Again with the world. You obviously don't read my posts without interpreting the truth out of them. I teach the unity of saints...and those who support God's ways in Christ. What you should be asking yourself is...what is the difference between your idea of unity and that of the Pharisees...

    All that without watching the video? A parallel would be that you have tasted neither coke nor pepsi, and you won't because you care more about what is said about it than taste as see for yourself. How is that a wise approach? To each his own.

    This is only my third video to hit 1K views. It's funny how people resist deeper teachings but instead gravitate towards potential conflict and scandal. Anyway, check out some of the comments. Add your own! ;)

    "Most people don't really want the truth. They just want a constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth."

    It's funny how you are able to twist things. For you, being religious is about sexual sins. The opposite is true (of course) The Pharisees looked down on any kind of physical sins. So again, you are completely off in right field. A religious spirit prides itself that it is NOT like regular...

    And yet...he called out the hypocrites in public, in order to warn others to not follow their example. We in the rich spoiled West need rebukes, corrections, instructions AND after that edification. Without these many will be rejected from the kingdom. So then to keep silent when it is time to...

    If it wasn't so sad and foolish it would be funny. A bully checks out his fists and thinks...who can I pound with these? A religious hypocrite reads about there being false teachers and thinks...anybody who doesn't believe what I do is obviously a false teacher. Same carnal mind at work...

    I'm glad to see that you don't have a religious spirit. :) That spirit spins the worst possible scenario on others in order to support a self-righteous best possible spin on oneself. VERY prevalent among those who pretend to be able to judge for God.

    You are just exposing yourself...so sad.

    Love destroys the doctrines of the pretenders. You will know them by their fruit.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    The perfect need to be perfected. Of course! Jesus had also to be perfected in His humanity. There is the perfection of holiness...and the perfection of character. One is about purity and the other about maturity. Maturity is what we are learning...NOT purity. With more maturity we hold onto...

    "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 John 1:7

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    The "new and living way" that is in Christ is not based on a covering up of our true condition. No, God sanctifies those who are His in order that they might be reconciled into a intimate walk with Him. We can assume we are "His" the same way we defend our rights as citizens in our own country...

    John MacArthur on N.T. Wright

    Some might say that the spiritual approach is too hard on Christians who are "yet carnal". But God's loves mercy. And He is patient...although not willing to strive with man forever. To the carnal believer...I don't condemn him. He's still a brother who struggles with the flesh. We can...

    I don't. What I don't think will work out well for many on judgment day to to claim things that are forbidden. Remember the guest who didn't have his wedding garment on...and was asked why he didn't? Was he treated nicely? Was he mollycoddled? You need to encounter God for real and learn what...
