    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    you think you understand...but the scale you are dealing with is limited to human reasoning. A spiritually blind person doesn't know they are blind. They think they see eternal things by using carnal senses. 1 Cor, 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    This is funny. Instead of God's covering righteousness you would have the righteousness of God be attributed to you...as if you are intrinsically as righteous as God. Of course pretend righteousness sounds good...if you are into pretending. In your scheme you sin with God's...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    LOL. Its so funny how people react to apostolic doctrine. It is God who receives us into the high calling...not a religious clique. Paul sought to win Christ and be translated into the Beloved. People 2,000 years later have NO idea what Paul is talking about. There's no idea of what it means to...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    What's wrong with the Catholic religion are the externals...the sensual approach that pleases the corporate entity. But a lot of the doctrines are much more accurate than the Reformed position. Luther went too far...rather than just reforming he also went on to distort what grace is and what...

    Heresy or error?

    I can't help that there is no sin in Christ. A walk in Christ is not the same as a carnal walk. NT grace is the [power to walk as Jesus walked. So your confusion comes from a lack of understanding of God's way in Christ.

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    God's righteousness is a covering OVER us. It is an anointing. As in..."His banner over me is love." Entering INTO Christ gives us God's covering grace. God covers OUR righteousness with His own. He covers our strength with His own. He covers our life with His own...etc 1 Corinthians 15:10 -...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    Faith that is not our own (that of Christ) leads us to walk exactly as Jesus walked. Do you deny that? Following Christ from various distances is good, but no better than what the Israelites did in the wilderness. Do you see that?

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    In your scheme Jesus was resurrected from the dead so that the whole world can continue to sin. The absolute here is the "non-dualistic"..."without Me you can do nothing."

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    What is the strong delusion that causes so many to believe the lie? 2 Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. How can people believe...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    Do you flat out deny that the words of Jesus are Spirit and life? Is Jesus a mystic? Or can you admit you have no idea what the NT is about?

    Heresy or error?

    You noticed that the content is spiritual and has no meaning to those who walk in a religious understanding that has not yet seen a breakthrough into the spiritual kingdom realm. The podcast is about spiritual Christianity...not religious Christianity, or dogmatic Christianity. Hence the confusion.

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    God considered Abraham to be righteous. This doesn't mean that God saw Abraham to be as righteous as He is. There is a human scale to righteousness. Just like there is a human scale to strength (God is far stronger). Without Jesus we can do nothing. Nothing? Nothing on a human scale? Or...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    That's the real gospel you have neither heard nor understood.. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 4:16 The cost to approach that throne of grace is all we have and are. We are to BUY eye salve so that we...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    You are confusing two issues here. 1. Imputing (attributing) something to someone is only true if there is a real something being attributed. God is not la liar...so then the reformation idea of making God either a liar or blind falls apart. He sees what is real and true. He does NOT cover up...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    How can a good anointing produce bad character? When we judge ourselves as superior to those who have not received the same anointing! When we get something from God, we are judged AGAINST it. To whom much is given MORE is required. So rather than judge others and let grace be deceitful to...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    Always with love Nancy! :) What is tiring is the by rote indoctrination patterns that pass for doctrines...doctrines that have no merit except to feel good in the flesh. The gospel is HARD on the flesh. Only the poor and suffering see it as good news. We are to preach the good news to the...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    Milk drinkers will never see the distinction between righteousness and holiness...because they are stuck too closely on the "teat" so that their vision is blocked. One needs to move back to eat meat. One needs to look beyond one's own experience until then. The milk satisfies..to the point...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    The empty vessels are the free samples that have run out. Most modern Protestants believe they are as saved as they can possibly be by entering into the wilderness walk. They know nothing of the Promised Land. Those who have oil have BOUGHT the oil by paying ALL they have to obtain the endless...

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    There is a big difference between anointing and character. Anointing is ON us....God's righteousness. But character is IN us. So then we are building on OUR righteousness...not God's. God's righteousness is already perfect. We are being adapted..renewed INTO it...not improving on it. Whose mind...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I have tried explaining the difference between righteousness and holiness. It would seem that once a person has latched onto a form of doctrine...nothing else can enter in. The high calling that is in Christ urges us forward into Christ-like character AND the covering anointing that makes such...
