You are not instructed correctly. The saint is abundantly saved. You forgot that. And you deny righteousness to the righteous. So you are running out of options with a good outcome. If you were a little bit wise...you wouldn't cut yourself off from the righteous. God loves the righteous...the...

Edification is for the inner man...the part of us that's created in God's image. The part of us that is regenerated at new birth. Condemnation is for the outer man...the part of us that seeks control over our own lives and the lives of others. The part of us that is bent with the sin nature.

I see humility is right. I see honesty as right. I see religious posturing as wrong. I see self-justification based on beliefs is wrong. There is a war within each person. The outer man of self-preservation...and an enslaved inner man. Jesus came to save the inner man by crucifying the...

Fine. you will be judged against the full standard of all who claim God's righteousness for themselves. Say hi to Paul for me. :oops:

Comfortable for what part of us? For the inner man. Good! For the uncrucified aspirations of the carnal religious outer man? No.

You think you will be judged by looking at a pole? Or pointing to a cross? You have your self-preservational flesh in a religious quandary. All who looked at the pole survived that day, but perished anyway in the wilderness. You are untaught in anything beyond what a bible salesman might tell...

That's what religious hucksters have taught you. You need to read the bible for yourself...while engaging your reading skills and a little thinking power. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 12 And I saw the dead...

LOL. You think you understand anything at any depth. Your system is simplistic in the extreme....and does not take into consideration such things as the bible, the truth, God and the reality of the gospel. It's not just what Christ did..but what Christ is DOING. You are not in a history class...

Although I don't see settling for the status quo as being acceptable...I do think your take on things is superior to the judgmental mindset of those who have been indoctrinated into thinking they are somehow more special to God than others. ;)

It's one option for religious consumers! ;) The unity thing is attractive. The humility thing is good. In stark contrast to protestant...me and my churchy thing. For me, the only reason to abandon a human hierarchical system is for something directly from God. My wife and I were called out of...

Wrong again. It's those who base their BELIEFS on things unseen, to puff up their religious outer man...are deceived. Judgment will reveal this as per the biblical testimony. I don't expect all the self-aggrandizing responders to understand this. I write these things to warn the wise.

Self-examination is good. But how much self does it take to discern eternal things? All the claiming based on what is unseen that the self can be fully deceived about. For that there is the word of God...and pesky prophets who want for the name of God to be not blasphemed in the world because of...

It must hurt to be under the strain of so much bloviating. :rolleyes:

Mock, attack and crucify? My, my, aren't we touchy this morning. Your use of exaggerated hyperbole comes from your religious imagination. Isn't that more than obvious? Do you feel you have now suffered on the scale of a Paul? Is this response to you the same as being whipped and stoned? Do my...

The whole world wants a good outcome. But there are two judgments...either at the Bema seat of Christ or else at the GWT. There are two resurrections to go with the two judgments. Do you see yourself as being worthy of Christ? You would choose to be judged at the level of a saint? You want to...

Many operate in the name it claim it sphere, but without realizing that we will be judged according to what we say and how we judge both ourselves and others.. Are we proud or humble? Are we confident of our own greatness and acceptance by God...or do we fear God thinking we are unworthy of...

That's what you think you see. And if you were just doing that...that would be fine. But you are not simply having faith in the unseen you are claiming to be like Paul, claiming to have the status of a saint before God. Without humility and without any fear of the Lord. Why do you judge others...

It's to be expected that people who feel backed into a corner by the truth will lash out. That's the flesh. Religious sounding language is simply weaponized as desired when that happens. Just consider the possibility that things are not as you think they are....or just stay as you are.

What I teach against is religious certainty based on dogmatic beliefs. It's easy to write off the Israelites, then the Laodiceans, then the wicked servants, then the ones who say Lord, Lord, then the virgins with empty lamps.......just write them all off as somebody else. It's NOT ME they say...

Have you not settled for what appeals to you? The religious product is designed to be bought. How can you trust your own discernment when so many choose other preferences than your own? What qualifies you as a chief inspector? How do you know you have merely chosen one human option among many...
