    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    You are conflating issues and making incorrect assumptions about we who believe.

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Even your free sample allegory is a compartmentalization of things of the spirit. What we have received.....an indescribable gift...is nothing less than Christ in us the hope of glory. The bible says we are complete in Him, and it is from this deposit that the "balance owing" will spring up...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Amen. It's a web of deception that is being weaved by the deceived. So important to be anchored in the word of God.

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    "Guests" at the wedding is just an allegory, not literal.....and it indicates the "Bride" is made up of many souls. The whole church of born again believers collectively, the Israel of God, is the bride of Christ. (Eph 5, 2Cor 11:5) "Especially" for those who believe....you better do some...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    All who are born of Him have encountered Him and that is the basis from which most of us here are speaking. The issue is what we do with that and growing/maturing from there and how we walk. But it seems that many in protestant evangelical churches are not even born again....this situation is...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Yet the scripture says, "We who believe have entered that rest." I'm sorry but this compartmentalizing of everything is of the carnal mind, not the mind of Christ which is spiritual. Stature of Christ vs. stature of God. Righteousness vs. holiness. And now atonement vs. forgiveness. The...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Amen. An inward change of heart in other words. AKA the washing of the water of the word ( which when we hear and receive and are instructed by it, brings about a change inwardly).

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Amen. "The Law" is God's law and was and is a beacon of light in an otherwise rudderless and dark pagan world. We as believers delight in and are instructed by it.......even though we are not "under" it but are free from it to serve in the new way of the Spirit.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Sadly you do not understand the gospel or what faith is. In short, your doctrine is unspiritual and requires no faith.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Unfortunately, brow-beating, slandering and belittling those who disagree with him is his modus operandi, and incredibly his followers think that is the heart of God. I never cease to be amazed at the blindness that comes upon those who are deceived.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Apparently you didn't read where that bible says Jesus was God in the flesh and is the exact representation of the Father. Who being in the form of God didnt consider equality with God something to be grasped. And when found in the form of a man HUMBLED HIMSELF. Not because He had to or...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    All I see is that you still have no argument for those scrips and it's still all about you.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    YOUR words are void of truth I'm afraid. You teach that Jesus has less stature than the Father.........and yet the whole point of what is being taught in GOD'S word about Jesus is WHO He is, if we have ears to hear it. Oh my. And as per usual you do not address the scriptures that have been...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    In line with this I just want to say the following. We had better know Who God is and what we are by comparison. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The good news though, is that when we realize Who He is, His sovereignty, His rule, His power over all, then we can humbly approach...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Epi's words struck me as flying in the face of and diminishing Who Jesus Christ was and is. What I notice about Epi is that he likes to preach His own words and avoids bringing and expounding God's word, nor does he even address what the scriptures are saying that people bring. Whenever anyone...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Yes, God has given life to us all and so long as we are alive, God makes the sun shine and the rain fall on the just and the unjust alike. (And we are exhorted to be of the same mind and nature (His spirit) as He.) But what is being discussed here is the matter of eternal life and not all are...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    The bible says God laughs at His enemies. And it was Jesus who said to let the dead bury their own dead. My, oh my, you are accusing the Lord Most High of being "hard". It is not me judging, that is always the accusation humanists level at those who speak God's truth. I am merely sharing...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    He certainly makes sport of the powers and principalities that fell. It's not all about us. And what you don't seem to understand is that those who do not know Christ and have His Spirit are already dead and under the wrath. Through the gospel He gives mankind the opportunity to escape the...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    The scripture in Philippians 2 says that though He was in the form of God He did not consider equality with God something to be grasped but took on Himself the form of a servant. He willingly subjected Himself to the Father and His will, thus setting the example for we who were made in the...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Amen. And the broad way of the many leads to destruction, not to eternal life.
