No matter how many different institutions try to meld themselves into a bigger one...it won't work...it can't work. Mystery Babylon is about dividing the religious system so that people can't all agree on the same errors. God has factored in the religious ego that so many prize above...

Why do you speak of accepting the Koran? Where is your dire need? Why are you on a Christian forum? Virtue signalling by tilting at dragons. You're stuck in your head. I'm not bothered...but I think you have been disturbed.

Amen. The difference between righteousness and holiness.

You should repent from iniquity and play-acting and turn to Jesus...for real. Not pretend religion and pretend church...and your pretend accusations and silliness. You are in DIRE NEED of this.

Totally out of context with a public forum. In a local church, people know each other. And it's a bout personal things...not doctrine. We live at a time, as you read in the bible, that men will not be able to endure sound doctrine...if you want to know why, search your soul for the answer.

I would think that before people start to embrace the truth the numbers would go into the single digits. Half-truths get in the way of the truth. And who said that Christianity was supposed to be popular? Jesus said that few would find.

Not really. The Lord's name is based on holiness. The commandments haven't changed...the means have changed...by grace rather than by human effort. Not so. Jesus said that to speak against the Father or the Son was forgiveable. Not so the Holy Spirit. Not so. The problem is is not by not...

Not everyone that leaves the church system will progress further in Christ. For many it's better the devil you know...

Many would agree that modern Christianity is mostly just window dressing...in a general way. If you get into the why of it...the specifics...that's when those who live in glass houses think you are just there to throw bricks at them. Religious egos are among the touchiest.

Good thread. The problem with evangelicalism is that once a person is "saved" there's nothing else to go after. They see entering into Jesus...the door, as the final step. One-step Christianity. These don't see that the way is also narrow....not just the doorway. So then evangelicals can make...

Or else the multitude in the wilderness who, together with chief leaders Jannes and Jambre, complained that they were not getting their proper due. "Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall...

Some will think I'm being "mean" for simply citing bible verses that contradict the idea that all is peachy keen with the calling of God in Christ. Others will think I'm inventing scenarios that are clearly laid out in the bible...just not to be taken seriously by believers. I see the truth...

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Tim. 3:7

You've come to vent on another one of my threads...without engaging the theme of the thread...just another ego rant. The problem with molly-coddling the flesh is that it then demands it. Read the bible, not from what you can get out of it...but rather first what needs to go...then you will be wiser.

What I hear you saying is that I don't go easy on religious egos.

You are reading in the benefits of the higher walk into the common walk of immature and unholy believers. You are confusing holiness with righteousness. That's where the depth of iniquity comes from. A child sits in the seat of a car and thinks he is driving it. And because he is a child we...

What must we do to be able to "endure" a sound doctrine that leads us into becoming a faithful disciple? "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the "iniquitous" man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon". Is. 55:7

Ludicrous as it is simplistic.

While you admit this, your support lies with the superficial statements of those who oppose holiness and the higher walk. i don't think you are seeing your own iniquity in this. This is a false understanding of the gospel...and the real problem that creates permanent babyhood among those who...

I don't like all the yelling...but the point is made. The ego defensiveness of merely "pointing to Jesus" or believing "on" Jesus shows a carnal bent that puts people before God...exploiting God..and then judging others for not being in on the same crime. The thieves do not come in through the...
