    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    You are saying that unbelievers read the bible and then say no to it? Or is it believers who do that?

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    No. Most born again believers will not be saints. Being born again is a calling into the higher walk. Most don't even believe in anything other than their own religious ideas. Having begun in the Spirit many many remain in the wilderness walk in unbelief until they die. What if you warn them, as...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    OK you are being simple here. You have an indoctrination...and you want to make imperatives without any kind of context...it's all just religious talk and bloviating. Ex. You must brush your teeth...is an imperative. If you don't then what? You get cavities. Do you go to hell? Not necessarily...

    There is this book called "the Bible"...that you could learn a lot from. God CHOOSES the holy....the elect. He doesn't choose who will be saved. Many are called FEW are chosen. Notice this...(this part comes from the bible) Paul wrote this although you probably will not understand it. Eph...

    No one is predestined to be saved. A few are predestined to be holy. God knows His own...the ones that will forsake the popular religion and follow Him OUTSIDE the camp....bearing His reproach. Few indeed have that kind of faith. Salvation besides that is up to how we behave towards...

    Someone who is indoctrinated into following "Pauline" rather than Christ would have little to no ability to understand any purpose of God. You are looking to your own self-interest...and searching for doctrines that accomplish that. Luther obliged and enslaved millions. But the truth can set...

    LOL. You are the one who misunderstands Paul and ignores Jesus. Everything you say is backwards... typical Behold.

    I think people are so religious that they see church as religious services rather than how the Body is supposed to interact.

    You are right only if you are speaking about Behold. And you are right about what you do. And you are continuing in the same vein by falsely accusing me of nothing...just you being in a snit because you hate the truth.

    2 Peter 3:16 “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” FYI...Paul taught the same gospel as Jesus did...and...

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    Basically, you are saying that no one is an example of a disciple online? Different versions of the truth? You seem to be promoting different cults...that follow local leaders with NO regard whatsoever to the church elsewhere. No wonder there are thousands of denominations. Is the truth like a...

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    You are as inaccurate in quoting me as you are in understanding...or misunderstanding the bible. I preach the gospel...without the human interpretations that champion sin. I said that you treat Jesus as a whipping boy...against the counsel of the bible. So then look to your own twisting of...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    James is speaking about righteousness not holiness. The same kind of confusion existed in his day as now. Beliefs don't do anything. People judge others by their religious opinions. But faith moves God. Faith sees...faith does what is pleasing to God. You are stuck on religious beliefs which do...

    Love of neighbour....unto righteousness. Love for God..unto holiness. Two levels, two standards. Brought together into one in Christ.

    They let you post. :) Why would that be? To challenge those who profess truth.

    If everyone agreed, there wouldn't be much point to a forum - Agree, or disagree? - LOL

    Totally agree. But the heresy makers need to be exposed...judging people by accuracy of beliefs rather than by works. Dogmatic Christianity destroys...or seeks to destroy ...a spiritual Christianity. Love unites. Dogma divides. TRUE doctrine (love on two levels) edifies.

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Yes...an indescribable gift of eternal consciousness and knowing who God is. You are jumping here. Paul wanted to win Christ AFTER he was converted. We have to take our deposit back to God to get the full measure. Read about the 10 lepers. Only one went back to Jesus. Is that optional? Why did...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    You may be missing my point. The one who judges is NOT doing as God wants. Like the judgmental garbage collector. It's amazing that people can't see themselves. The one who is thankful and cheerful is doing a MINIMUM standard. Sure believers should be such...but not only believers are such. In...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    OH the irony. Judgment day is going to be terrifying...but interesting. It's like they say....don't be interesting to a doctor! For your religious scheme to work we would have to be judged by our beliefs rather than our works. Can you say an eternal "oops!"

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Imagine a man who collects the garbage in front of your house (or apartment). He works hard at a very odious job. What if he looks down on all the rich people as he drives by...judging them for all the waste...and justifying himself by his hard work. Is that the right thing to do? OR..what if...
