Within a man is nothing but corruption. Seeking God WHERE He is indeed can get you a template of Christ...but still, if you look to build on something within yourself...you will have a mixture which is iniquity. For the honest believer....who refuses to pretend with religion (which so many...

The spirit of Amalek. Those who combine their carnal reasoning with the words of God. It catches the simple ones...the ones who lag behind. it preys on the weak...and the newer converts...making them dogmatic ideologues rather true disciples of Christ. There is a great temptation to try being...

The land is the kingdom of God..spiritual Zion. We are not to seek our own bodies. We are to seek the life that is found in Christ...in Zion. Seek first the kingdom...

That's a religious mindset you have going there. You add in ideas of your own...unable to quote any verse properly...without a religious affectation that you ascribe to it. I just call that dishonesty. Cornelius was a just man BEFORE He was baptized in the Spirit. Cornelius sympathized with the...

Ah, the faith of a child... not so easy when our minds are used to rational thinking. This is by degrees. We already see how people can get so wrapped up in their own understanding that they go so far as to justify themselves in their blindness. The humble will never go that far. But then there...

The religious outer man seeks to justify himself and condemn others. "Truth" is used by him (the outer man) as an artifice to justify the hatred and vitriol that has its source in the sin nature. We are to speak actual truth in actual love. Condemnation is of the devil. Pharisees now, as then...

You take all the "fun" out of fundamentalism. :rolleyes: Judge not lest you be judged. Show a little wisdom. Less hostility and more love. Why do you direct your attention to my thread? Inside you are crying out for something...something pure, something without all the hate and hostility. Take...

Proudly is right! Doesn't God resist the proud? Doesn't He give grace to the humble? So then I'll stick with the humble. And the humble ones don't need to be called out...because it's just the ones who are not proud. And I will follow only Christ. Pride aside....what are you doing on this...

Never considered that. You got me there! Have to think on it some... :)

Obviously playing to your audience. I post scriptures that show a mercy side of God...and you will have nothing of it. Talk to Peter, Jesus, and all the other writers of the bible you have issue with. if you want to be a fundamentalist and be stubborn about it...fine! But don't expect for those...

As you judge so you will be judged. You reap as you sow. Check it out.

I can cherry pick verses too...AND I understand their context. :) For the umpteenth time.....you have to see the difference between holiness and righteousness. The people of Israel (Judea) saw Jesus do His mighty works....they will be judged against holiness. Wrath comes on those who hate...

Yes. But in the case of those who built with a mixture of flesh...not just miss rewards...but suffer loss. Ending up with less than they had before. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Sure. But do you realize that in a great house are both vessels of honour AND vessels of dishonour? Some to everlasting life and others to everlasting contempt. Eternal life is not always what people think it means. There are different judgments included in that. Do a study on it! :)

My main supporter is in heaven. If you mean SBG, she does have sense of humour, doesn't she. And good timing too. True. Being born of the Spirit for real gives a person a taste of eternal consciousness...a touch of heavenly light and life...as a sample of course...because that initial...

And then there's the terrible twos..with tantrums and dirty diapers. Some babies grow out of it sooner than others or so it seems.

I'm not seeing any content that can stand up to the biblical text...that points to being born again as a sample of initial grace. Sure, people will attack the messenger. But it's always been that way. Very few will progress beyond the free sample. Soon, as the oil runs out, a religious...

Did you listen to the video? Have you read through the thread? Do you have something to get off your chest?

Enough slandering please. Do you have anything of value to add? Do you see being born again as a final act of God? Or the first step in the race of faith?

OK. Rant noted. Are you here to proclaim yourself or Christ? Can you contribute to the thread or just call attention to yourself?
