I see you have a way with (a) word. :oops:

As a person sees so is he... Your statement sounds more like a confession than an accusation.

I am someone who takes the words of God very seriously.....looking beyond the modern twist...looking for the Lord's instruction...looking for the mind of Christ. When that investigation doesn't line up with what is religiously acceptable...I marvel at how God hides away the truth from the...

What I find many are good at is resisting the truth by changing the meaning of the words in the bible when it suits them.

and you see how the Pharisees took the exact same position that you are espousing? You don't believe that any are good. The bible remember (No, not one)? Why do you alter your beliefs to defend one point and then change them as desired for another? What is your agenda? What do you think about...

Seriously misguided. Holiness doesn't kid around. You are defending what is offensive to God and harmful to God's people...all in the name of a snow-flake political religious correctness. I don't value your opinion.

This is as false as can be. You are twisting the plain meaning of verses to suit your indoctrination. Reading skills aside, it doesn't say...and choose guests from AMONG the bad and good. No, it is the bad and good that are the guests at the wedding feast. The bad and good are the righteous...

Matthew 22:10 “So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.”

So then whoever is not written in the book of life is cast into the lake of fire....you are saying that means no one? Evangelicals take this to mean everyone is cast in...and you think that no one is cast in. How about a balanced view???

Knowing Jesus is about holiness....not righteousness. Men will be judged according to their works.

All men here means Gentiles...not just Jews. God saves the righteous regardless of their religious affiliation. Jesus is the saviour of all men...but not every man. One must compare scripture with scripture. It also says the head of every man is Christ. Does that mean every single person? No...

Heb. 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

You can believe that you will not reap what you have sown...all day... enjoy the delusion. We will each be judged according to what we have done in the body. Read the bible...learn the truth.

There is one side of the argument that says every knee will bow...and that God will cancel all His laws and reaping what we have sown. But this doesn't take the WHOLE counsel of God into account. Otherwise the fear of the Lord is foolish rather than the beginning of wisdom. What isn't looked...

In the wilderness whose unbelief was God concerned with? The Israelites or the Canaanites? In Judea in the time of Jesus, whose unbelief was God concerned with...the Jews or the Gentiles? In our time where Jesus will not find any faith in the world...is He concerned with the church...or the...

Is this not the gauge of your own enthusiasm? The mistake is to assume you know what's really going on.

No. I believe God is sorting people in this age to find those who will be His intimates (saints), His subjects (saved righteous), His shamed wanderers (outer darkness) and those who will be eliminated entirely (lake of fire, the 2nd death).

This is so fallacious and wrong headed...it's not worth trying to fix it. :oops:

You are looking in the mirror and accusing others of what you are doing. God decides who is righteous...not you...or some stuffy religious kangaroo court. The only ones I see trying to be saved by their own righteousness are the ones I'm calling out here. Name it and claim it. Listen more...

You are missing the bigger picture here. Jesus came only to the lost sheep of Israel. They rejected Him and crucified Him. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. But it wasn't worldly people that despised Him and killed Him...it was God's people. If you can't see the irony and the paradox...
