You should realize that God is looking for spiritual fruit..not religious nuts.

Are you saying that the initial grace isn't free? Are you a works salvation person? Do you think Jesus died for your pleasure? Making videos of actors portraying Jesus on the cross so you can watch Him suffer...over and over again? And you think THAT is glorying in the cross? You are one sick...

One of the attributes of the religious outer man is that he will twist words and meanings to deceive the simple. The whipping boy analogy is how you disrespect what Jesus did for the whole world. You claim Him as your personal cover-up for your incessant sinning. As chief crow here, you are...

This is all from your religious outer man trying to defend itself against the truth. But I think there is an inner man in there somewhere realizing I'm speaking the truth. If you set your inner man free he would say..... Thank you Epi for trying to reach me in this dark hole I have placed...

It can get tricky... No. We know that we can believe what we want. There are thousands of denominations based on preferences in beliefs. Unless you are so naive as to think that the Holy Spirit wants all the carnal divisions we see. You are maybe too immature to realize that there is a higher...

Of course that's plainly false. Lying through your teeth or just ignorant of the word? James 2 :24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out...

SBG Thank you for baby-sitting while I was away. The kids nowadays are very rambunctious...spoiled really.

I was taking a nap. I guess I forgot to ask permission from you taskmasters. But you are all doing is looking in the bible for scriptures that justify you IN your sins. That's what baby believers do. You are all carnal...the bunch of you. And having to take you by the hand to show you you are...

So then you agree with the words of God that righteous is as righteous does, whether by works (like Phihehas) or faith (like Abraham)?

@marks said...."Is this truly what you think, that I give no consideration towards how I "rightly divide the Word of Truth"? That I just chop it up based on personal likes and dislikes?" Yes. The reason is that you don't admit you are poor, naked, wretched, and blind as it says in plain...

Ps. 106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. Killing people in this case also was deemed to be righteous by God. Phinehas' works were righteous. Plain scripture that...

There are two sides of the coin for a non-participation in the New Covenant. 1. People lose heart...they give up since there doesn't seem to be any way forward...so they drop out of the race. 2. People claim to have already personally entered into Christ and are bearing eternal...

This is a confession on your part. If there is an inner man somewhere inside that twisted flesh of yours...it would say... "Epi, you are right. Everything I feel about my own flesh is being twisted around and comes out as an accusation of the people who are just trying to help me with my outer...

I actually exercise my faith...in reality...not only by claiming to. A real faith gets God's attention. A human belief is what you are talking about. God does not respond to that. Faith is good...but beliefs are just religious suppositions...and that is what you are presenting here as faith...

What's new is the New Covenant...that people claim to have entered into... but not really. It's "fake it till you make it" for these. It's live the lie until its no longer a lie (hopefully). :rolleyes:

The question is always...why can't it be both? Why can't God receive my inner man AND my rebellious outer man. The answer is that God only gives grace to the inner man..the humble part of us. But He resists the proud...the outer man part of us. This is as basic as it gets. There is no...

It's wiser to learn humility than to try realizing just how advanced you are. Do a study on humility. Then do a study on being lifted up in one's own estimation. Which one is biblical and right? What would a righteous person do?

Basically...you are saying that there is a premise...and we are trying to live up to that premise????? But you have to understand Paul and what He is saying first. Claiming a verse for yourself...that isn't yet true for you..should lead you to seek God...not name and claim something because a...

SBG is on a roll today! :woohoo!:

"Remember it wasn't Abraham's righteousness that was credited to him for righteousness, it was his faith." This statement is a beauty...the statement of the day so far. How a mind can conjure up such a ridiculously muddled statement and pretend to be serious is beyond me. Religion does CRAZY...
