An empty gift is like a cloud without rain. No love, no humility, no surrender, no fear of the Lord...just religious hubris. The lawless among believers will claim to have done many wonderful things in the name of Jesus. Why not having operated in the gifts? But God is looking for an eternal...

The initial grace...yes. The sample. This turns us away from wickedness...but does not protect us against the iniquity of pride and self-justification. God is waiting to see what we will do with what we have been given The rich spoiled ones will judge others as they have always done. They will...

I'm not seeing a clear explanation to the parable here. Jesus says to "buy the field" in the parable. What is the field we buy??? We buy access into the eternal realm...given "eye salve" so that we have the spiritual faculty to walk in an eternal consciouness. The pearl is Christ who dwells with...

This is just part of the indoctrination that has no basis in the biblical narrative. There is no free ticket. There is God's mercy...that depends on whether you also have mercy. Read the parable about the man who was forgiven his debts...but who didn't forgive the debt that was owed to him. You...

First....be born again in the inner man. Then ....go to God for a full measure of grace by being baptized in the Spirit. Then .....go to God for a deeper work of the cross by losing the outer man...being disconnected from him through being crucified with Christ (the full power of the cross)...

These are kingdom parables. The field is the kingdom realm...the pearl of great price is the intimacy one finds there with the living God. We sell all (the outer man) to be permitted entry into the higher walk...experienced by a liberated inner man. He came to set the captives free.

In all the religious hubris in being shown an initial grace...people tend to forget what Jesus said...His parables, His warnings. All of it thrown out by a new "justified" status that many feel needs to be vigourously defended AGAINST the parables and teachings of Christ. It is not about who...

This is actually very basic and fundamental to our own understanding of the gospel. The gospel was always meant to be preached to the poor....not the rich, not the smug. It is not meant to further bolster the religious aspirations of the outer man. But the outer man is a leech on the potential...

God isn't interested in catering to the aspirations of men. He looks to the weak, the downtrodden, the poor, the broken, the humble and those who tremble at His word. Basically, everything the rich Western religious church is not. There is yet a chance to be among the redeemed who enter into...

I push away the outer man and invite in the inner man. Read the bible more carefully and you will see the same thing going on. It's only as you sneakily take what is meant for the inner man...for your own ego.. that you are getting the wrong idea. You are simply able to ignore all the warnings...

You go on doubting...lifting up your own ways ...and disparaging me and my message of truth. I invite the light of truth. :)

Wow. I just got a call from a local pastor here where I live. He told me that God showed him that the warning I am giving to the church is from God. He told me to continue to warn people. He read my testimony on line and the Lord told him to call me. We are spiritually born into a spiritual...

Why are you so obsessed with being regenerated? Do you think that makes you more special to God? You have thrown out the rest of the Bible..the counsel of God, the warnings of God and all the apostles and prophets....because you are regenerated??? Do you realize how foolish that is????

I didn't realize how "special" you are. You are obviously way more special than the Israelites in the wilderness. It's a good thing Jesus is there to take away God's wrath on you. :rolleyes:

Anyone notice that those who seek to justify themselves because of their religious bent will ONLY look at passages that soothe their own egos? Notice how a mantra based on the words "born again" causes a state of catatonic euphoria where it becomes impossible to distinguish the meanings of any...

The Israelites were the natural branches. We, Gentiles are the wild branches grafted in through a spiritual birth into Israel., They had a physical birth...a physical promised land...and a physical rejection due to unbelief. This is going to go WAY over your head... but.. We have have a...

You forgot to say "born again" a few more times. Someone who is brainwashed will repeat the mantra over and over without the slightest idea of what the words constitute. You really do think you are greater than the Jews and that their fate does NOT serve as a warning to us. Simply...

Jesus tells us to ignore the rest of the bible? In John 3? Do tell. Explain how we eliminate the rest of scripture by taking one verse out of context?

How much of the bible have you read? The bible literacy here is amazingly lacking. Read Hebrews 4 (and how the gospel was also preached to the Israelites in the wilderness), read Romans 11 (about we also being cut off as they were). I have only posted this dozens of times. Did the Israelites...

There's that religious formulaic presumption again. It's like the bible has never been read by so many here. When you say the "born again" or as others put it "all believers"...does that mean the wise or the foolish virgins? Does that mean the vessels of honour or dishonour? Does that include...
