    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    I think the bible is clear....and Jesus is very clear about many being called but few chosen....as the Bride. Very few of us modern believers will make the cut. We are far too involved in the world...too many cares. What I am warning believers about is to remain humble so as to be AT LEAST...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    You are right of course, but many sermons have been preached that come to some conclusion concerning the RYR. Maybe you have never heard one? In my own experience the RYR was always an example of someone who went to hell as an unbeliever. As if..."If you wish to be perfect"...actually means in...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    I don't think the rules of the forum permit going into details about such a touchy subject.

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    To seek is good. To humbly seek is better. :)

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    You mean time to be indoctrinated into the big lie that will exposed by the glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Your hillbilly theology is insufficient to grasp even the slightest biblical notion. Instead, keep it simple and stop pointing fingers, accusing, and...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    And never assume that because you are seeking something, that that seeking justifies you. Staying humble and unassuming is the secret to salvation. What we think has no value. We only get in the way.

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    So in your ever so humble opinion...he is destined for the lake of fire? It says...Jesus loved him. Does Jesus love hypocrites in your opinion? Or maybe Jesus saw the sincerity in his request. Maybe you didn't get the memo on this. The story goes to illustrate how so many of us are...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Human reasoning that is NOT the subject of the text...but simply an endless scroll turning in your own mind. What else has been preoccupying you?

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Actually, you are an example of someone who has latched onto the truth but with the wrong part of you. It's easy to get our wires crossed. But you have to be honest and come clean if you want to progress. Without going to the cross we will latch on with the wrong kind of confidence. The inner...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    No bother you being a trinny and all. A lot of that going around. Adding to the scriptures is frowned upon, though. Father and Son make 2 not three. United in One Spirit....not 3 Spirits. God is Spirit and both Father and Son share one Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ are...

    God wants to save Christians too. --- Say what?

    Very good. Believers are called to rule with Christ...not just be saved. Many are called, but few are chosen. In a wedding feast there are many more guests than brides. (Always a bridesmaid, never a bride? ):rolleyes: In MHO also. The most stubborn form of outer man, is the religious one who...

    Can modern ideologues be saved? An interesting question that has many facets.

    Quick-Vid of Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Seeing that so many have been indoctrinated into a religious ideology for so many years, and seeing this video clip is so short....less than a minute...playing it 7 times in a row can quickly remedy all those years of religious conditioning...and all in less than 7 minutes. It's worth a shot! :)

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    What we see in modern religious ideologues is not only the words of Jesus being ignored, denied, and deviated...but also any deeper connotation of His words through the testimony of others also being deviated and denied. Makes for an interesting judgment day, doesn't it. When all lies and...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    As per @ Lizbeth Lizbeth said " Meaning the propitiation for sins was not for the Jews only but for the Gentiles (world/nations) as well. There are scriptures that need to be looked at from the...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    You are not being honest here. Was John writing to the followers of Judaism...or can we see he is speaking to believers in Christ? You are as slippery as an eel. If you don't want to be honest before God...stay as you are.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    The truth is not about what suits you. You have to go beyond that kind of superficiality in your reading of the bible. Unlike my detractors, I always base biblical doctrines by seeing from multiple angles ...both from the OT and the NT...from prophecy to fulfillment. I can't help it if people...

    Here is a short video...a few minutes long... just enough to get the conversation going. :)

    Quick-Vid of Forgiveness vs Atonement

    I thought to make a very short video (under 1 minute) of a very crucial doctrine, that of atonement vis à vis forgiveness. There is a link to the full video for those interested in further exploration of the subject. This short sound-bite or sample should allow for easy access to a specific...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Jesus said that many will come into Him by another way...through ideology, or a false gospel. Not through the front door...not through the narrow way. He calls these thieves. John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other...
