    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Are you saying that a dog cannot return to its vomit? I think you are missing the point of all the writings in the bible. We have free agency as long as we live in these mortal bodies. There is a judgment coming based on what we did with what we have been given. Being smug at this time will...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    You are not understanding the biblical narrative. Being reconciled to God is not just about salvation...its about an intimate relationship with God. if you think you can have that kind of relationship with God without holiness, obedience, devotion and a full surrender of the carnal...

    Alien Righteousness?

    My English is not just good....it's good enough. ;) My speech not so much! I think my approach in correction the errors of the reformation might be a tad too subtle for some here. :) It might help to actually watch the podcast.

    Alien Righteousness?

    Watch the video...you are missing the whole point of it. This is not about those kind of aliens. You should maybe inform yourself as to the doctrines of Luther...and the reformation.

    Alien Righteousness?

    Righteousness is an attitude. Without an attitude that is willing to repent we are merely lawless and rebellious. The righteous are also humble. God resists the proud. Pride comes from self. So it seems that self can get in the way of God's approval and receiving grace. He gives grace to the...

    What is the gospel?

    We can be saved from sin right now by entering into Christ to put on His perfection...in truth, power and reality...not in a religious dogmatic scheme that has no power over the flesh. The race must be run to the end to INHERIT life...into eternity. Read what God says about justification in...

    What is the gospel?

    I pray that you will one day understand the God of mercy.

    What is the gospel?

    His part is finished...and now available to all who believe INTO Christ. Our part is to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. That sounds strange to you? The dichotomy you claim is false is the flesh on the one hand, and the Spirit that overcomes the flesh, on the other hand. These...

    What is the gospel?

    The difficulty in receiving the gospel nowadays and my commentary on this ....lies in the fact that religious institutions have attempted to reverse engineer the biblical narrative to arrive at a place that they already are. There is no race of faith for these. No, it's all a done deal...it is...

    What is the gospel?

    I seek to correct the idea that the gospel is just the same old flesh even as it fails to please God. For many today the gospel is the good news for the flesh. The truth is being short-circuited to serve the outer man ego...now become religious. So then the whole idea of holiness is completely...

    What is the gospel?

    Thanks for the invite! ;) It remains to see in what capacity...as the Bride or a guest. :)

    What is the gospel?

    Amen to all this. Again, yes. Facts are not on the same level as truth. If we want to cooperate with God on an eternal level we need to walk in the truth...not just recite facts.

    What is the gospel?

    Yes. This is false, of course. We don't need to blame an innocent person in order to escape our sins. That is an evil idea. Rather God is merciful ...always has been. The problem is approaching a holy God in a sinful nature. The atonement of Christ cleanses away the sin in the nature by giving...

    What is the gospel?

    More than an event...a bridge into eternal truth and reality. Not so much. If we are not perfect and complete in Christ we will not the the bride. We will not have an eternal reward. There are also many guests invited to the feast of the Lamb...who are both bad and good. The meek will inherit...

    What is the gospel?

    The living God is not an accountant. He is not blind to our true condition. Either we walk as Jesus walked or we walk in our own strength, being subject to sin and death. Light has no part with darkness...or the schemes of men. Some of what you are saying is true....factual. But truth rises far...

    What is the gospel?

    False. Trusting in a historic event is believing something ABOUT Jesus. That is fact not truth. You are operating on the lower level of fact...not the divine level of truth. Facts don't set you free...they just give you opinions...in this case religious opinions. No one will be judged based on...

    What is the gospel?

    It's definitely a logical surmising...but A WRONG one. The translators flubbed the text in order to get at that logic. But our sins are never imputed to Jesus just as His righteousness is never imputed to us. Only a blind god or an unrighteous god would get things that backwards. God was in...

    What is the gospel?

    Grace is about right now. The gospel is about right now...not a history lesson. Spiritually perfect? Spiritualization in one's imagination? Imagination doesn't set one free. Only a translation into Christ makes one perfect and complete IN Him.

    What is the gospel?

    The problem arises when people try to reverse engineer a verse without understanding it. We become the righteousness of God IN Him.
