    How to Walk in Righteousness

    The purpose of this thread is to help believers in Jesus to walk in righteousness...not people of other faiths. We are not to judge those outside the faith. We leave the others for God to have mercy on or not as HE wills. Please stay on topic. :backtop:

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    To whom much is given more is required. If you care so much about the lost...why don't you go to say...Bangladesh...and get all the children there to curse their parents because they are Muslim....and go to church instead. At what age do you think little children who die in poor countries...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    By His people yes. And the bible says that He winked at in times past...as Paul tells the Greeks. So much for an overbearing unmerciful God that you seem to believe in. Yes, they were the religious ones of their time...just like the ones who say Lord Lord and are lawless in our time. To have...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    Good question. The "believes not" is a negative to something positive...or a REFUSAL to believe. If God condemns all who don't go to church....then if He's merciful...why doesn't every person get a chance of salvation at a Jesus revival? My example of the little Hindu girl is about those who...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    You are seeing things upside down...from a rich Western religious mindset....a carnal mindset. It just so happens that you mention Jesus and the cross in it...without any idea of either. Even if I presented you ALL day, with verse after verse that proves your opinions about God wrong...you would...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    God is very wise. Do you really think He lets rich Western people get away with their priviledges...their judgmentalism towards those who are less fortunate than themselves...be they of another race, social status, religion....etc. Many bigots and judgmental people have entered into the church...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    What part of "Jesus died for the sins of the whole world" are you having trouble with? Why must you be the one who decides who God will have mercy on? The New Covenant is about the higher walk....to walk as Jesus walked...without sin. Those who judge the world will be held to THAT perfect...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    The lies are religious lies that go against the character of God. Every religion has its fanatics who condemn all others than themselves. But God is the God of ALL flesh. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. All we see here is who has a merciful heart and who is religious and hateful...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    Imagine a little girl in Bangladesh, her parents are Hindu. To honour her parents, she does whatever Hindus do. She lives a poor life and dies in poverty in a drought. God in His mercy sees the girl...a girl who suffered her whole life and died of hunger. Will He not now feed her for...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    And you aren't seeing His ways...just one facet. You don't see as He does. No one can compare themselves to God. And Jesus is good...but the other man was being flippant about what good is. And whether they were believers or not. You only can see things on a religious level. The Pharisees...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    We are to become as children concerning evil. Are children filthy in their thinking? No...we are to become or remain like them. This whole idea of filthy rags ...what it does is identify those whose righteousness is indeed filthy. God loves the righteous and receives them...and gives them...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    Actuality God will have mercy on whoever He wills. OT righteousness was by works as well as faith. You still aren't getting the relationship between human righteousness and divine righteousness. I suggest you watch the video...and then comment on it. God will not share His glory with another...

    How to Walk in Righteousness

    This bears repeating... The context of "filthy rags" righteousness is NOT a statement that destroys human righteousness...it is an admission of guilt about what certain people were doing. What OT people could compare with was a true human righteousness compared with a false human righteousness...

    The Holy Sacrament is Spiritual

    Again, you are reading yourself into the bible. And if we have been given that sample of grace...we need to move on into Romans 7 and Romans 8. You are stuck in Romans 6...with an initial experience of grace. The Old Man is dead...but the outer religious man is alive and making you do what you...

    It doesn't work by a dogmatic belief. It's not automatic. One has to seek the Lord for it.

    The Holy Sacrament is Spiritual

    You've heard of walking in the Spirit, walking in resurrection life, coming to MT. Zion in the Spirit. You've heard of the full armour of God, the armour of light... Putting on the New Man...putting on Christ. Seated in heavenly places??? Where do you think that is? All you have to do is put...

    The Holy Sacrament is Spiritual

    Who gave you that status? Yourself? A pastor? There is no status with God. No one receives an inheritance before the time. What you should say is...in HOPE of a future inheritance. Otherwise it sounds like you are inventing things. Not by security,...which is a carnal thing...but by faith and...

    The Holy Sacrament is Spiritual

    I am responding to the arrogance I see in modern believers to claim the good verses for themselves and consign those who don't agree with them to the flames. It's all based on a religious human certainty. What you never hear about is "hope." It's always about certainty of religious beliefs...
