    What is the Kingdom of God?

    You are going in circles here. Are we laying a foundation or forgetting that and reaching for what lies ahead? There is no logic to your ideas. I'm talking about apprehending the kingdom, and you react harshly against that to talk about foundations. Read your own posts. Anyway I mainly ignore...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    "Of course that is not what I be like, or others. But there is no point in going further until you get the foundation right...as well as other problems. That foundation has to be right or the rest of the building will be askew." (Circular Wilderness type reasoning provided by Lizbeth) Psa 11:3...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    While you are stuck on the foundation, do you realize that we are building on it whether we think we are or not. How many are building with their own human understanding? Religious conditioning? Best guesses? But Jesus counsels us to buy from Him the materials that can withstand the fires of...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    People be like.....Why risk ourselves by trying to take the Promised land? There is no such thing, really. It's just an ideal not worth pursuing. Why risk ourselves in an impossible venture? Haven't we been already saved by a most miraculous work of God...just look at what it took to divide the...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    I gave up my own reality to follow Christ. :)

    Why do Christians prefer their Churches segregated..

    If crackers lose their saltiness, what are they good for?

    Why do Christians prefer their Churches segregated..

    A lot of people seem to know what church is not supposed to be. But it seems very few know what it is supposed to be. In the meantime we can't seem to all agree on the same errors.

    Why do Christians prefer their Churches segregated..

    People are catered to in their fleshly preferences because the institutions are run as enterprises. Local businesses with franchise outlets. So on a given street corner you have churches advertising their products appealing to various interests and racial preferences. Do these business outlets...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    It is a sign of the times that the Kingdom of God is more likely to be associated with an afterlife experience rather than a spiritual realm that we can enter into in a walk of faith at the present time. Join me on this episode as we explore "What is the Kingdom of God?".

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Your dilemma is that you are counting too many Spirits. The Spirit of God the Spirit of Christ...the Holy Spirit and the Persons of the Father and the Son. Counting them all up we get 5 not 3. Now if the Spirit of God IS part of the Father, and the Spirit of Christ is the same Spirit....then you...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    That's not NT holiness. The idea of being separate is about temple holiness...whereby utensils can be holy. But NT holiness or TRUE holiness is about abiding in Christ to walk as He walked. Talk about separate. A much deeper separation...and one that a utensil cannot experience.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    You have to understand ...we are complete IN Him. In Him is no sin. To be filled with the fulness of God only happens when we are translated into the kingdom walk in the Spirit. Having begun in the Spirit we are to seek the Lord for the full measure of grace...grace on grace. The full lump.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    There are two Yahwehs. God is One Spirit in two Persons. The Father is "Elyon" The Most High. Jesus Yahweh spoke face to face with Moses...whereas the Father could only be glimpsed from behind. There are SOO many of these dualities. Even the word Elohim means DOUBLE GOD. (The way Ephraim means...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    While all this is true...The fulness of God is not experienced at regeneration. Paul calls the initial gift of grace the "earnest" of the Spirit. It is an introduction into the kingdom realm...a touch from above. To get the full measure of grace...that is the power from heaven to walk as Jesus...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Why do we run the race? Why did Paul run the race? Unlike so many, he didn't passively receive a promise based on self-love or self-preservation...it was not about being comforted in his carnal state for him...thus burying his talent because he was afraid to lose it. No, he ran to win Christ...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    I'm praying that you will return the love that God has for you. Go to Him...stop waiting for Him to return and ...seek the kingdom. A thin line, and yet an uncrossable chasm that can only be bridged by grace through faith.

    A tweak or a whole other realm?

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    There's drought in the wilderness walk. But one can try relying on the mirages of what is not, that make it appear that good fruit is proceeding from the dust clouds of our mind.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    It's your faulty reasoning...not His. A religious scheme that has no power. A carnal mind is required to take away the power of the gospel in exchange for a "progressive sanctification" scheme based on lies. LOL. You are trying very hard to miss the truth. A downpayment is exactly an...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    God can do that. But we can't. When we call something which is not as if it was....that's called lying. Messiah complexes aside...we are not God. You have to learn your place. Or...you can bear false witness. His faith was imputed to him for righteousness. And Phinehas' killing of the...
