    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Actually that is out of line with what you are saying...and in line with I am saying. You write about fear but without the fear. You are merely adopting a new lip-service because you read about it. So shallow. Trying to make your position seem biblical. Shameful. Why don't you realize that God...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    LOL. I post so many verses...that indoctrinated ideologues NEVER consider or study. So much dishonesty. Even when I am explaining things, I use the Bible (without verse numbers) so that self-described bible readers can't discern where that comes from. They say it comes from me since they don't...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Your scheme, although taught by many decoy churches...is amiss. Jesus dealt with the sins of the whole world. By claiming to believe you are included or have an exclusive claim (like some here) to that sacrifice doesn't give you any merit with God...it is a selfish motivation. What saves you is...

    The nations will walk in the countenance (Light) of God

    Abel was a man who recognized God's sovereignty over all things, including his own life. He made sacrifice to God, and God received it. That's the key. God has to accept our surrender and take us further down the road, so to speak. He judges the heart. If we are truly humble and broken, He hears...

    The nations will walk in the countenance (Light) of God

    Since we will be judged by our works and not our religious or spiritual understanding...the upright will be saved because Jesus died for them. They will be limited to being in the nations UNLESS they move into the redemption of the soul through the Spirit. And then again many who are thus...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Like so many who profess Christ today...instead seeing Him only as a future get-out-of-hell card. OK, maybe a Genie too.... to get what you want in this life.

    Three Christian Gospels Today

    Your perfection gospel is the one that is closest to the truth. However, we will all fail that gospel...going in and out of the Spirit until we are ready to fully surrender to the Lord and His ways. When we are ready, the power of the cross crucifies (renders ineffective) the sin factory that...

    Three Christian Gospels Today

    Is this the power over God to not see our sins??? ...to blind Him? Or is it the power to overcome sin to walk as Jesus walked...by grace?

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    The issue is that many religiously indoctrinated ideologues have infiltrated the churches to cast down both the power of God on the one hand (for believers) and the mercy of God (towards those in the world who suffer, and are innocent of evil intent) on the other. Still others have gone too far...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    The age of restoration...or the Millenium rule of Christ and His saints over the world...will reveal the deep seated rebellion in the hearts of men...once the devil is allowed to influence the world once again. People that are swayed to evil cannot be allowed to continue in life forever. The...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    God is indeed holy. But He doesn't judge in holiness...but in righteousness. I have found little to no understanding about the difference among fellow believers. Whoever does what is right and fears God is accepted by Him. Peter said that. God is NOT a respecter of persons or their doctrinal...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Amen. Religious ideologues don't understand how they diminish God...to being as unmerciful as they are. Such will be judged harshly. God judges in righteousness. He is merciful to the meek, the downcast, the widow, the fatherless...regardless of their religious opinions.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    This is false, and denies God's mercy. Remember that with the same judgment...or lack of mercy, you show others, you will also be judged...regardless of how precious you feel you are. God is not a respecter of persons. If you are hard on others (even if you interpret God that way) you will be...

    The nations will walk in the countenance (Light) of God

    A quick video that speaks of the age to come. Commentaries are welcome.

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    And it's one thing to mentally assent to needing Jesus...with lip-service, but quite another to only draw life from Him exclusively.

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    The RYR disqualified himself from ruling and reigning with Christ as the Bride. He will not enter the New Jerusalem. But by God's mercy he may still inherit life in the nations of them that are saved. The kingdom of God is bigger and more varied than most people have considered. It helps to...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    I think some of it has to do with aberrant teachings...prosperity gospel is an example of that. Controlling spirit is another. But I would say that generally the gospel is not understood by modern believers as a whole. Not at any depth. We are rich just like the RYR...even more so....and rather...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Man, too many layers to this onion to sort out. Too many inaccuracies. Jesus said..."My words are Spirit and they are life" Do you see words as persons? Jesus is the word (singular) but He speaks words (Spirit). Is Jesus creating new persons by using words??? Do we worship them as God? Are...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Not enough to live in God's presence in the holy city. But God is merciful enough to let him walk in the light of his countenance among the nations of them that are saved.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    One would have to know Greek to know that the word "autos" means either he, or it. Same as in French and other languages. The bible also says that wisdom is a she. Is wisdom a person? no. But in Hebrew wisdom is feminine in gender. Truth is also feminine. So in Hebrew we would say...The truth...
