    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    Yes...too many hecklers and haters of sound doctrine I'm afraid. Way too much immaturity. I like that you don't take yourself too seriously. I don't either. The truth is serious. But the truth needs to be lived out...not just believed in (or about) ...allowed to stand on its own merit without...

    Many Are Called But Few Chosen = Matthew 22;1-10

    The elect are chosen to be holy.....not just saved. Only a few will walk with God in holiness. Only the few are the Bride of Christ. The rest of the saved are guests at the marriage feast.

    The Ministry of Christ vs ministering sin

    The other side of this coin are those who think God no longer sees their sin. That their sins are no longer such because they POINT to the cross...thinking all their sins are already there automatically. For them, unbelief is about having a sin consciousness...as if that sin-consciousness was a...

    Perfection

    That is not a biblical understanding. You claim to be in the Spirit and then prove that isn't the case by reacting in the flesh. If the person cut you off 10 minutes earlier you would have still reacted in the flesh...and 10 minutes before that...etc. You can have good thoughts about God and...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    You won't learn anything until you learn to ask the right questions. Stop filtering everything through a prior indoctrination. Let the bible speak for itself. Let God speak. Let the Holy Spirit speak. Stop trying to control everything with your fear. Try faith...you just might like it! :)

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    OK. Let's do that. I'll start a thread...on John 3: An exegesis...that must be explained in a scholarly way....no indoctrination or vain repetitions, grandstanding, or hypnotic suggestions to get religious carnal agreements from indoctrinated people. :)

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    To my detractors... Find a verse in the bible that sounds something like this "If any man comes to you telling you that a born again person should seek the Lord for a full measure of grace at the throne of grace, let him be anathema" That's what some here are basically saying to me. If you...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    There is a church culture whereby if one person is advancing, the others get angry and begin accusing that person of not being like them anymore as in...you think you're too good for us now...really the lowest common denominator of carnal men. In a union, the ones who work harder are often...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Don't judge me as if I was you. I'm not you and I have nothing in common with you. I'm an unknown quantity with people such as yourself. You refuse to engage in actual bible discussion...and only look for what props up your religious outer man. You have zero interest in either learning anything...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I don't lie...I endure all the false accusations from pretenders such as yourself. After so many years some here should be ready for something beyond the first baby step. But the spoiled ones begin throwing their rattles and rubber duckys at me at ANY suggestion of moving forward in the race...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    False...of course, and everyone knows this. My version is from the bible...AND from experience. Being born again by the Spirit gives a person an eternal consciousness of who God is and the kind of love and peace He gives to those who walk in Him. That initial experience of grace is a sample...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Let no one fool you, no one can partake of Christ without entering into Christ and running in the race of faith. Those who sit on the sidelines and mock those who run to win, are there merely as an audience that makes cat calls and generic peanut gallery comments. No need to take any of these...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    The opposite is true, of course. I counsel people to seek the Lord. I promote the true Christ...and how that we taste of His goodness in order to seek after Him to be filled with the fullness of God. You see that as "works". Why? You only have a religious belief that is fully outside any...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Don't listen to this charlatan....please. It's just self-righteous bloviating that wants to cancel out anything that isn't based on a superficial religious indoctrination. Beware.

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    The whole "born-again" thing is something that many take out of the bible and because they see the word "must" there they name it and claim it and then boast of having something they have no idea of. It reminds me of the whole tongues craze in the 80's. Then there was the inner healing craze in...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Amen. I hope you are seeing how a deposit in our spirits...a sample of grace...is meant to take us to God in order to WIN Christ in our souls. We are to work out our own (soul) salvation with fear and trembling. I think most indoctrinated people HATE the idea of fearing God, seeking God...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Indoctrination is revealed when excuses are given rather than a sound bible exposition. You can insult me, slander me, lie about me....all day long...but you can only spew disinformation about the bible and this Pauline lady you seem infatuated with. I don't think she likes you back, though...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I can easily explain Romans 2....and every other chapter and verse. Why are you so intimidated by Romans 2? Is it because you like to jump ahead and obscure the context of Paul's writings...and then blame it on "Pauline"?

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    You are afraid of anything biblical that you can't twist to your own advantage. So you ignore the truth...and then attack me personally for pointing out your fables. Hey, I'm open here to your explanation of the many many chapters of Paul that seem to go directly against your ideology. Just...

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    LOL More religious posturing and dishonesty. It is to be expected. So you are saying that Romans 2 is NOT Paul's doctrine? Do you have some kind of scientific data that Romans 2 was injected there by some wily corrupter of your self-justification? Pretend I'm one of your teaching victims that...
