    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Quoting scriptures AT people is baseless. You justify yourself and condemn others with a misuse ...an abuse...of the bible. What people here, such as yourself...is a clue to what the bible is actually saying. Stop with the religious rhetoric. Learn from what you are reading...apply the nasty...

    At what age are we to condemn people of other religions to hell?

    So you are saying that children that honour their parents are going to hell because their religion is wrong? In your one track and deluded mind...is God not merciful at all...except to whoever you decide He should have mercy on?

    What is Revival?

    Exactly. When we believe with all our hearts...God comes to us and translates us into a kingdom realm to walk as Jesus walked. This is realer than real. The best kept secret in the world. That is my personal testimony...not just something I read about. Yes. As WE are crucified in the outer man...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    If you weren't being sarcastic, you could be a successful minister of the modern gospel... :rolleyes:

    The Great White Throne Judgment (GWT)

    That's false. That's not what righteousness is about. The righteous own up to their sins...and God forgives them. There is NONE righteous that never sins. Of course...in human strength no one can walk at a holy standard. Your sins are greater because, as a hypocrite, you insult holiness AND...

    What is Revival?

    In your religiously bent mind you have thrown out both righteousness and holiness. Those are the things that God is looking for. Instead you focus on what you want to hear.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    You forgot faith. Reading the bible to prop up your religious expectations is not faith...it is merely a belief about something. That has no power to save you. Only an actual faith makes your life look like what you read about in the bible. Just reading a bible doesn't justify you. It's not...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Of course. Many looked to the brass serpent and were saved. But that's not the end of the story. How many of these entered into God's rest? The Protestant obsession with being "saved" and always harping on the initial stage of "salvation" is very telling. To me, this shows that while there is a...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    My authority is the living God. Yours is found in a human religious appreciation for a book. You think salvation is based on the deadness of the written letters...whereas these point to a life of experience with God. If you had ANY faith at all you would realize that a relationship with the...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Bible means "book." The problem is to elevate a book to the status of God. The Bible POINTS to God...but is not God itself. Like a sign that says "Montreal" on the way to Montreal...and then saying...it IS Montreal...not just a sign. This shows a lack of any real connection to what the Bible...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    You have mistaken the living and imperishable Word of God...Jesus Himself....for a book that speaks ABOUT Him. So you are a whole level away from eternal reality.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    The enemy has no need to hide so much in society. But he hides himself in all human religious organizations in a way to subvert the truth...to support the carnal rebellious nature so that it is upheld and given a place of honour. So then the truth is dishonoured to honour the schemes of men...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Already here there is a deviation from the truth. Your "born again by the word of God" is in the wrong dimension. Anybody can claim the words apply to them..and then declare that they are born again. It's a very American way of seeing things...private freedom and choices. But those who are born...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    @Lizbeth In regards to dreams and visions...these were common in the time of the revival. This one dream/vision stands out as it helped me to understand who and what the castaways are. I call this dream/vision...the Mud People. I got this dream/vision about 20 or so years ago now. It came to...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    @Lizbeth asked... "You said you are not currently walking in the Spirit....are you distinguishing walking in the spirit from heavenly experiences and visions? " I thought, for the sake of clarity...that I should answer this and risk the mockers here reacting...for the sake of describing the...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    We suffer on each level. Suffering on a human level brings wisdom (hochmah)...whereby we can cease from sins or presumptions and thinking we are invincible. With time we learn to be weaned from the fleeting pleasures of this world...and develop a steadier character. But always we run the risk of...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    One has to understand how the bible is written and not put too much weight on one verse above another to suit a certain doctrine...Notice this verse. 2 Cor. 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead ... All dead? This verse...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Look at the result of all these "seeker-friendly" churches. They have let in untold numbers of ego-seekers come in to the point that they must be catered to to keep up the numbers. So these continue to whine and rant at how crucified they are...because they have learned to practice naming and...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    LOL. Tit for tat eh? That's all you have. All the verse breakdowns in the world doesn't make them descriptive of your own condition. You KNOW you are not crucified. You can try convincing yourself...but that's it. You would have to be truly crucified with Christ for people around you to notice...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    You would read...is BEING crucified (slowly) with Him. Come on, you have to try agreeing with the bible lady now! Why can't you see how you contradict yourself over and over to try agreeing with people who have very little understanding? (as you also do, of course)
