Amazing irony here. You NEVER talk about what Jesus said. Because that doesn't justify you...it condemns you. But you ONLY see Jesus as serving your own carnal purposes...thinking that lip service is a good thing.

For any and all who look down on kindness because evil people can also behave at times with kindness...you're not getting it. Being unkind does not correct those who are kind. You are barking up the wrong tree. Instead let your kindness be known. Only a carnal mind seeks to correct in such an...

No truth can prevail with you...you mean. The judgmental pit you have dug for the righteous will swallow you up. Hypocrites will be judged as they have judged. Repent before it's too late.

So you think hardening your heart is the same as faith? Should we take a poll or go by your opinion? What I say is that hardening your heart is based on doubt. Of course you disagree... you don't reason very well. You are doubting...so you illustrate my point.

Jesus died to bring people into the higher walk in fellowship with He and the Father. Your indoctrination has fully sidelined the gospel...for something that is preached to pew warmers...that doesn't help anyone but to make more religious phonies like yourself. . Where is the power? Where is...

"For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God...

You are missing the point....as usual. When Jesus gave us the story about the good Samaritan, that was a righteousness story...not a holiness story. Jesus was satisfied that the Samaritan had loved his neighbour as himself...as this pleased God. Nowhere does it say that to be a good neighbour...

And when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why reason, because you have no bread? perceive you not yet, neither understand? have you your heart yet hardened? Mark 8:17 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. Mark 6:52 Jesus came to us with a message...

Spiritual life is a deeper kind of life...it is an eternal form of life. Not very many have experienced the higher walk in holiness. This is another judgment against a people who don't love the truth. People tend to only consider themselves, and not the things of God. People will push eternal...

Really religious believer you mean... :rolleyes: Certainty is a human ploy. We only come to faith THROUGH our doubt. Jesus' disciples had a hard time with what Jesus did....even hardening their hearts against Him at times. That's a natural progression. Religion is the opposite. It's all just...

And the Reformation just made things a lot worse. In the guise of protesting against ecclesiastical abuses in the church at that time, Luther snuck in what amounts to the "great Delusion" spoken of in 2 Thess. 2. This opened a Pandora's box of strange and foolish doctrines that have become so...

You are confusing what I do for what you do. Spiritual things are not grasped by a religious dogmatic ideology. Religiosity is just one more facet of the flesh. Promise people life in an "afterlife" religion, and you get all kinds of carnal excesses...judgmentalism, unkindness, pride, hatred...

If we look at the warnings against some of the churches in Asia Minor cited in Revelation...like...I will take away your lampstand...we see that all of those places no longer have churches. They are all under Islam. That's why I say that God allowed the rise of Islam...as a judgment against the...

One could ask...why did God allow the rise of another world religion (Islam) AFTER the coming of Christ? Christianity was supposed to solve the problem of religion...not jump on the same bandwagon. But men are men...and people will get things wrong. And that error will become so common-place...

Religious types are very biblical. Jesus warned such that they needed to repent. The Pharisees saw themselves as champions of God...judging others even as they justified themselves. That trend, toward self-justification...has never been more popular than it is today. Maybe we could call...

On a lighter note...WWOD (What would Oprah do?) Is kindness a sin? Can people who have become religious tolerate a person who promotes kindness? In the city where I live (Montreal) they changed the parking meter system because they were losing money: too many people were putting in money for...

I thought it sounded like a line from "the impossible dream" (To be willing to go into hell for a heavenly cause)....or something like that.

For sure. And we are on a public forum where people who don't participate in the debating can still benefit. One has to be ready for strong opposition..and pressure... since the religious mindset is so set against sound doctrine. Imagine Paul commenting on what is posted on forums such as this...

I think the issue is not that Jesus preferred Martha to stop working and listen to Him. I think it has to do with Martha trying to force Mary into doing what she was doing...trying to impose a certain dogmatic stance on what one should be doing. Jesus prefers we do what we should without making...

That's what it looks like to you. I am shocked when people see what I see. I have been very very privileged to know what I do. I don't expect ANYONE to understand the deeper things. I am not dogmatic at all. I think it's a miracle to know the depth of the gospel. Listen to my podcasts...read my...
