    How to Walk in Righteousness

    A great post. But because it is well thought out...it won't be seen as having as much importance as a dogmatic statement to rally an emotionally triggered response around. The post you are responding to shows how misinterpretations take on more and more effect...like the way a snowball gathers...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    In history, we see that when people get out of touch with reality....disaster follows. We have the story of Marie Antoinette..who, we are told.. when she heard the peasants had no more bread...she replied...well. let them eat cake! Regardless of what she really said or not said...she was put...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    That's right. Have you read in the Song of Solomon.?.."I am my beloveds..and my beloved is mine" I belong to my wife and my wife belongs to me. Do you have a wife? Is she yours....??? This is about an intimate union of Christ and His Bride...not about the salvation of the world.

    Actually right field...but I saw one commenter defend that as a heritage of some kind. You'd have to go back and look. Wrangler I think...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    What if the New Covenant was not a way to condemn the world for not believing fast enough...but rather was the Son of God seeking a Bride? What if all the verses about belonging to Him was in that context...cleaving to Him...loving Him. What if Jesus was not trying to condemn the world but save...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    Exactly! Even though so many are misinterpreting themselves into a religious state, treat them like brothers and exhort them to obedience. If they don't listen, God will take care of them. So even here. we are not to judge before the time.

    What I was saying was...way to misinterpret God's words in order to build up a dogmatic religion....sort of thing.

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    There is a common misunderstanding that says. If a person is not born again, they are going to hell. But that's a religious interpretation. Jesus says enter into the kingdom (now)....not go to hell if one doesn't. Religious people misinterpret Jesus both who He is and waht He says... Why? To...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    I never said you did. You got involved in this....so then maybe you felt guilty...??? You have adopted the mob mentality right now...taking offense for what another did. That's your self-righteousness at work...looking for affirmation in the mob. You don't even see what you are doing. Not...

    Because you always project what you are doing on others...I leave you to digest your own words.

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    I'm not calling you racist trash. I'm not trying to spew you out. I'm trying to show what radical fundamentalism does to people. People will always think the best of themselves...as you all do...justifying yourselves by taking the best verses for yourselves..and the bad verses left for...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    You think all Catholics are going to hell. That they are NOT Christian at all. You said it. And you said the Israelites in the wilderness were Jews, nothing to take seriously..yet 1 Cor. 10:11 “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    Consigning all non-fundamentalists to hell is what extremists like the Taliban do. To them everybody is too liberal. They are SO far to the right that anyone with any decency is seen as the most despicable of leftists. To them everyone is a leftists...but them...and did I mention it? yes, those...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    I call out racism...because it isn't Christian and goes against the love of God. But you can be smug. I have the courage to do what many others would if they were willing to be hounded by those whose obscuring of the truth is their religion.

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    I'm the one calling out the racism. I see many here who hold anti-Catholic, anti-Semetic views...Hatred for people of other religions...races??? Your faux virtue signalling hides the truth.

    You missed him...I think he went to a KKK rally or some red neck thing. Do you have a confederate flag in your house..over your bed...in your car..in your church? Just wondering at all the carnal fundamentalism here... Anti-Semitic, Anti-Catholic. Spreading the love of Jesus wherever there is...

    Enjoy the vittles as you Americans say...well. at least on Beverley Hillbillies.

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    The gospel is about Jesus coming for a bride. We are to gather in the people as guests to the wedding feast..and preach the truth so that Jesus's Bride might become more numerous. God knows the specific number...and then the end will come. But if the guests place themselves where only the Bride...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    The first part shows that ONLY God knows those on whom He will have mercy. The second part is that ALL who seek to be justified by Christ...better not judge, or be proud, or lie, or claim to be something they are not. Iniquity is to add sin to sin. Outer eternal darkness is reserved for those...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    Jesus SO offends the flesh. Samaritans were HATED by the Jews at the time. They are equivalent to Muslims today in regards to Christians. Imagine confederate flag churches hearing Jesus preach about the "good Muslim" being righteous....and you'd maybe have a lynching on your hands. But people...
