Sure. 1. We are not to compare our walk with that of another...even WITHIN the faith. [22] Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. Here we see that we are not to use our own reasoning or try making blankets rules about the servant of...

Only those who are born of the Spirit are called into that walk....since they are now spiritually aware (IF they have been truly born of the Spirit) and have been PARTIALLY equipped to do so. I say partially, because we need to go to God for the full measure of grace to walk as Jesus walked...

Here we see Jesus establishing a higher order...a kingdom order, based on spiritual life. Outside that order people can still obey the commandments as always...like loving our neighbour...even our enemies. What can't be done outside the holiness of the kingdom order is to love, to walk, to live...

Some religious Jews believe that even the worst Jew is better than the best Gentile. You, and others here, are following that same self-righteous religious pattern, seemingly fully unaware that God is not a respecter of persons. ....and that we will not be judged according to the accuracy of...

If God was as religious as we are...then there would be truth to what you say. :) There is a certain parable ...of the two sons....one said he would and didn't and the other said he wouldn't but did. So which one did the will of the Father? Modern religion doesn't seek to OBEY...

Self-righteousness occurs when one considers himself/herself to be righteous based on either their works or their religious beliefs.

You should ask yourself...W.W.O.D. (What would Oprah do?)

What I see is that people...especially believers...tend to be petty and tribal whereas we should be the most understanding, patient and considerate people on the planet. Those who only see the distinctions between themselves and others I see as religious bigots. They have fallen for the partisan...

? I'm not seeing what you are referencing here.

New Testament faith remains a revolutionary concept for most believers. Most have come to faith ...or the faith... based on the level of religious belief. However we come to faith, I find that people are reluctant...even militantly resistant, to any further growth or understanding at any depth...

Yes. A carnal understanding stands in the way of eternal truth and life.

I keep forgetting what a waste of time it is trying to appeal to any logic with you....never mind prophetic things. On ignore... :rolleyes:

You are denying that anyone is written in the book of life...because of a bent that sees you get your jollies by condemning everyone to the lake of fire. Morbid. But the GWT judgment is indeed a resurrection...as the sea and Hades gives up their dead in order to judge them...where? at the GWT...

This is absolutely true. But to understand the meaning of the different destinies indicated in the parables requires not only experiencing Christ but also listening to His teachings. Parables are His teachings. We are BOTH to believe INTO Him and ALSO listen to Him. John 15:7 If you abide...

I have always found that description rather vague. It doesn't make a distinction between a human faith and the faith OF Christ. Although it is the higher faith being described. Having said that... Faith is..."The substance of things hoped for"... That is the reality of the kingdom walk made...

“Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

What is lacking is basic reading skills. And basic honesty. If the text said something like..."and all who didn't have a seat on the bus had to walk"...NOBODY in grade school (or had seen an episode of Sesame Street) would think that EVERYONE had to walk. But throw in self-affirming religion...

In Greek the definite article is "ho". Do a little research. Realize that the traditions of men follow a pattern...people tend to interpret the bible in a way that they can accept...rather than be faithful to the text. Think about how the Jews translate their text to avoid Jesus. Now think how...
