Hello and welcome here! :) <><

From your perspective, life is death and death is life. So yes from your perspective I'm the one that doesn't know God. Those who enter INTO (eis) Jesus have...to walk in right now...eternal life. The sample of grace at regeneration is a sample of His life. Going to Jesus to enter INTO Him one...

There is wisdom in your response. Great post! :)

That is plainly ridiculous. Are you saying that only those who claim His sacrifice can have it? That's is the silliest notion. You are exalting a self-interested belief. God is not for that at all. But you would have to know God a little to realize that. Are you the one to judge yourself as...

Speaking of dogmatic....actually Jesus died for the sins of the world. People can try excluding those whom Jesus died for...and we'll see how that turns out.

Yup...too simple. Too many ways to interpret Paul's statement. The Jews were expecting a conquering Messiah...but Paul recognized that God sent a suffering Messiah who would ultimately be put to death on a Roman cross. So that verse is about no longer expecting a political Messiah the way the...

A careful observation? Where did you get that from? I think your careless reading of my posts mirrors your careless reading of the bible to come out with a twisted version of what you are attempting to read. Have you any other method of communication beside reading and writing?

Based on our own past experience we can't imagine a unified church. However, the church began when ALL experienced the grace from heaven in a common event, Pentecost. Do we need a new Pentecost whereby nobody has to say to his fellow believer.."know the Lord?! What say you?

You glory in the sufferings of Jesus on the cross. So did the religious Pharisees. They were happy to see Jesus on the cross. You posted a thread..and then took it down when I shamed you about it. But you love seeing Jesus on the cross. You listen to scenes from "The Passion" luxuriating in...

That's exactly what you preach...that and how to avoid the cross. You have a very wrong view of Jesus always cleaning up after your mess. And you glory in that...rather than be ashamed. My words to you and the great damage you do to the truth...I just hope people right you off as a religious...

Anybody can read a bible passage, parrot it, without understanding the depth of it..then claim a dogmatic justification based on that. The really important verses are always ignored...because there is no faith that goes beyond what is already understood, and what has been previously...

It's that kind of surface carnal interpretation that causes the division...no real power, no real love, no real peace, no unity.

You have far less than either of these. You have no unity, only a self-interested religious system adherence based on preference...and only a pretend righteousness based on your high opinion of your own beliefs. This thread is about believing that there is such a thing as a corporate Body of...

Self-interest aside...what about the larger body coming into oneness as Jesus prayed it would? I know that most are preoccupied with themselves...as they have been conditioned to be. The devil controls us much easier when all we are concerned with is our own aspirations. But who has zeal for...

Thomas was unbelieving until Jesus appeared to him. Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Are we like Thomas who only relied on past experience to judge what is possible and what is impossible? Do we have...

Actually not at all. Delusions attract more people seeking to escape their true condition. It's like a religious drug culture of sorts.

There is a portion of God's wrath on the sons of disobedience among God's people. You have a lot of opinions but you are short on truth. Notice this... Hebrews 3:11 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. “So I...

If we are not in the Spirit as ministers....then we are to be at least LED by the Spirit. And we are to remain humble and teachable. What is interesting is that the qualification for being an overseer is not that one be filled with the Spirit or fully mature...but have a righteous disposition...

What have you attained to??? A religious bent? A talent for bloviating? You have attained nothing but for a religious presumption based on an ideological belief without power.

Going from one extreme to the other just makes us fall off the horse on the other side. Balance is key. I am in neither camp. The camps go like this...Either we can't stop sinning all the time (because actually we are without God's power called grace)...or we don't sin because we are sinless...
