The bible is not meant to judge others by. The law of God was meant for each person to take to heart...or not. The Pharisees broke the law at a greater intensity than even the blatant sinners. How so? They read the law and looked at others...judging them...rather than take the law to heart for...

In your view the bible was written by heretics. Anybody can grab a verse that he/she thinks justifies him/her, and then judge others based on that extreme position. The bible is not meant for private interpretation. You assume that some verses negate other ones...the ones you like. Jesus would...

I disagree. LOL But seriously there is much to come together and go deeper about...as a fraternal network. A house divided cannot stand.

Quite the opposite. You have made the atonement a license to sin with impunity. Paul warns of making another gospel. That seems to not have sunk into your understanding yet. Christ overcame sin...He didn't ignore it. And we are to overcome sin as He did. How? By His strengthening grace. For...

This is promoting lawlessness. Sin is sin. Righteous is as righteous does. Don't fall for the delusion. We are to turn away from those who deny the power of grace...which is sufficient to overcome sin as Jesus did.

Agreed. Unbelief is usually seen as a problem that is limited to unbelievers. Is the Bible written to unbelievers? Can we see ourselves as immune from the delusion of the Israelites who perished in the wilderness? The Bible is written for our instruction. But we have to be willing to question...

Any extreme doctrinal position is dangerous. The other side of that extremist coin is to think that only believers in Christ can be saved. That is another very dangerous doctrine. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world....especially for those who believe (but not exclusively) We are to...

The Bible has more facets to it than what we are representing so often. The righteous sin. Of course not as blatantly. The unrighteous sin with their will. And the righteous sin against their will. But the righteous are NOT the holy. There are many references in the NT to people who are...

All have sinned. Even the righteous sin. But righteousness is not about perfection...it's about honesty and contrition. Holiness is about having no spot or wrinkle of sin...not righteousness.

We can have faith in God in spite of our beliefs. That's the test of faith. Our beliefs get in the way of faith As in..I believe Lord, help thou my unbelief. We can stop limiting God. There is a gift of faith from God, yes...to do things on a miraculous level. But we are to walk by faith in...

The test of our faith is not to have a belief that states we are accredited perfection even as we fail as any human fails. Beliefs don't give us the power over sin. But grace does. Faith brings grace....to the humble. The test of our faith is whether we trust in God to empower us to overcome...

What happened to..."I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me?" Caleb and Joshua were different than the other Israelites they sojourned 40 years in the wilderness with. What was that difference? They had faith. They knew that God was greater than any shortcomings they had. When...

Beliefs or faith? If we had religious beliefs the size of a mustard seed we could move mountains??? Beliefs are in the realm of religion. They come from the temporal part of us...what we think or believe or have an opinion about. Of course beliefs are inevitable....that we take on certain...

My duty towards God is to warn the Body of Christ of the coming judgment on the church. If I don't warn people, I have blood on my hands. If people revile my words, then their blood is on their own head. A disciple of Christ knows the fear of the Lord. He knows that the judgment on those who...

You've received a sample of grace...good. But that is not enough for you to justify yourself. You are in the race of faith whether you accept that or not. When you defend yourself you are relying on the part of you that needs to go to the cross. Many have failed that very race. Fail the...

You have to realize that once you've lowered the standard of Christ to beliefs...or even being birthed in the Spirit...rather than a full-blown spiritual walk in the perfection of Christ by grace through faith...you have failed the grace of God. So what if people are birthed in the Spirit. Is...

An interesting take on this. But the "remember" could just be that the rich man was able to remember his previous life behaviour. The problem with this is that Jesus says to the RYR...obey the commandments...in order to be saved. Selling all to follow Jesus was if he wanted to be...

There is a living Jesus to walk in...not just a historical Jesus to believe in. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

There's "Bible Jesus" the Jesus that people assume they know. And then there's the living Jesus...who very few encounter.

II don't know why not.... Hmmm... Has Amazon given up on me? :)
