There is a way that leads to Christ....a way in the desert that follows Christ to the cross. The way is narrow and difficult. A lot of people will give up before reaching the place where God is encountered. And to make matters worse there are many compromised believers who call out to the...

This thread illustrates the difficulty in getting across the necessity of growing out of the initial grace phase in the Christian walk. There is a reluctance...even a downright hostility ...in considering that the free sample of grace is meant to take us to God to ask for more. That is how we...

You are obviously are not paying attention to the crows that constantly attack my every move. I think you've joined them to some degree. In order to protect what you think is yours. I see things in reverse. We don't have anything. It's God who has things. It's God who has us. I am constantly...

hys·ter·i·cal adjective: hysterical 1. deriving from or affected by uncontrolled extreme emotion. "the band was mobbed by hysterical fans" informal extremely funny. "her attempts to teach them to dance were hysterical" 2. relating to or affected with hysteria. "the doctor thinks the condition...

The New Covenant is VERY unpopular with religious people because it takes on the flesh head-on. Religious people love to flatter other religious people...in order to be in turn flattered. But that is not the way of the cross. If Jesus had complimented the Pharisees on their efforts rather than...

What I see with Behold is a clarity in how one comes to believe what they do. There is a consistency there. It's better to take something to its logical conclusion...and see if it still stands up. You have challenged me with what I teach...and I appreciate it as it makes me delve in deeper. An...

That would be...Christ is the end of the law for righteousness...meaning the righteousness of obeying the law of Moses...basically what we call Judaism today. Do we need to become Jews to be justified in Christ? No. Paul was making a break with the law of Moses for new believers who were not of...

Hey Mark, Well, when you're ready to behave yourself maybe have a go at the posts I've indicated. :) Is #Behold expressing your views? Or is he deviating somewhat from what may be a flavouring that is particular to the individual. I think Behold lays out the Gnostic view very well. There is a...

OK, and welcome to the thread. :) I already wrote out the first point above in post #5. And I was hoping people would respond to that. Another way is to listen to say...the first 5 minutes...stop the video...then comment on that. :) Then when there is more time...listen to another 5...

All this reliance on the free stuff is equivalent to the pride of the Jews for being natural Jews. They were born INTO Israel...and somehow many of them feel they are special to God....no matter what they do. As in...the worst Jew is still better than the best Gentile. Is that a humble attitude...

Point one from the video. We are forgiven our past sins...but we enter into the New Covenant as a new race according to faith where it is possible to have victory through grace OR to add sin to sin..and make our situation worse...by adding a religious veneer as a covering for sins. We are to...

No...it is Jesus raised again for the justification of all who enter INTO Him. Of course not. :) You're not interested in dialogue or a deeper look into the things you have accepted as true. That's only a theory since you can't be bothered to listen to the video. So nothing you say can have...

Hot off the press! :)

I'm actually expecting them to agree with you (at least to some degree). I just think you are being more honest than they are. Gnosticism is attractive because it's easy on the flesh. Having trouble with sin? No...there is no more sin! A believer is not responsible for the sin he/she just...

Religious outer man alert. See, you are in a snit. And you are not seeing my intent...to save you from the present condemnation that afflicts the modern churches (especially evangelical). You will go kicking and screaming because your faith is mixed in with a self-preservation. It isn't...

This is a real beauty. I'm hoping that others will respond to this post by @Behold. I'm hoping for some honesty in what people think of his position. I see his position like a cancer on evangelicalism. It infects practically everyone but most are afraid to speak out what they really believe...

Hey @Lizbeth What do you make (seriously) of post # 483 by @Behold? How much are you agreement with Gnostic ideology? Where do you differ...if at all?

I do so to distance myself from the Gnostic ideology you have been religiously conditioned into. I wish you could see through the pretend righteousness. I have to go hard on the lie...because the truth is what sets us free. I don't play around with false doctrines...I expose them. And this is...

When a post is this off the wall...I don't break it down since the whole thing is based on a heresy known as Gnosticism. Now a lot of people agree with this nonsense...at least to some degree. As long as you pretend to be perfect or seated in heavenly places BECAUSE YOU READ about it.....then...

Stop sinning? Or stop confessing? :rolleyes:
