They do...and all the vitriol I get for exhorting people to go to God for the full measure of grace reveals what's really going on with people. This is very basic. What is being revealed is what indoctrination and religiosity does when the outer man gets puffed up with false assurances...

The truth always provokes the religious to respond according to their nature. Let's call that...fleshy. I've seen it over and over. The strategy is...the truth shall set you free. Unless, of course, you hate the truth.

We see the parable of the 10 lepers being played out before our very eyes. In the parable only one out of ten of the healed lepers went back to the feet of Jesus. Jesus asks...where are the other nine??? Well, lets look at the other nine. The first one, lets call him Mark, says... Were we...

The opposite is true. There is no overcoming in this life if there is no current reality of being an overcomer. Why would Jesus exhort people to overcome as He did...if we only overcome sin by a physical death? did Jesus overcome while He lived or after He died? John says that all who abide IN...

They hate the truth. I don't take it personally. :)

As He is so are we in this world....when we abide in Him to remain there by His keeping power. Amen! In Him is no sin. Amen. A distinction between righteousness and holiness. And righteousness is on 2 levels...according to our ability to conform to God's law. Yes

Only as we abide IN Christ. We ALWAYS triumph IN Christ. In Him is NO sin!

A great thread and thank you...O seeker! :) <>< Peace

Amen. See, by this I see that the man knew God and His power...and wasn't just an indoctrinated dogmatic religiously converted man. Amen again! If something is true...we can seek the Lord for the experience of it. If we do it by faith...without being double-minded...we can experience the...

2 Cor. 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Being dead to sin goes beyond just not doing as the world does. According to the Lord, the religious person can become more sinful even than the world based on pride, judgmentalism, and taking on a mocking spirit. We can take on a false covering. We all have an inner man...and some of us even...

Alzheimers is no joke...

Don't be swayed here by a false understanding. The parables are about the COST of having the truth. We are to BUY the truth and sell it not. Prov. 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Jesus says to buy eye salve. He says that the ones who have...

We see a LOT of flesh being molly-coddled in the modern church based on a false idea of "fellowship". Sure the flesh can get along when it is directed...entertained... catered to. But take away the entertainment..the distractions... the abundance...and you will see the true nature of people come...

I agree with that. But the love is between inner man and inner man. We are not to love the "Esau" in another. We are not to love the hell in one another..we are to love the hell OUT of them. If we only love those who love us is that love??? A real love is sacrificial in nature. It does what is...

It is a honour to be hated and rejected by the religious mob. That's what happened to Jesus and all the prophets. ALL who live godly in Christ will be thus hated and scorned.

The wheat and the tares... That's a different parable...actually a two-tiered parable based on first the righteous, and then the saints.

You are seeing the effect of a person having penetrated into the kingdom realm and then being hated for it by the religious mob. If we receive a prophet in the name of a prophet we get a prophet's reward. If we receive a righteous person in the name of a righteous person we get a righteous...

No ticket. Only the foolhardy believe that twaddle. No religious scheme comes from God. My love for all here lies in the fact that I suffer the abuse of many to try helping them to escape the coming judgment of God. No one will point the finger at me on that day and say...you weren't adamant...

I don't see where the filed is the world in this parable. Having found the treasure the man HID it..and went and bought the filed that the treasure is found in. This is akin to a man learning about the risen Lord...and surrendering all to God to enter into the realm where the risen Lord abides...
