Scripture says if you have not the Son you have not the Father either. That should settle the argument one would think...it's clear enough. It is very common among people of the world that they conflate being discerning with being judgmental and unloving. They are separate things. We are...

Amigo is clearly talking about the institution and people that the Vatican represents......as do many others refer to it that way. Just like you might refer to the "White House" or to "Washington". Why are you being so petty? If you go talk to some Newfoundlanders are you going to keep telling...

I see. A religious bigot to you is someone who believes that only Jesus saves. Whereas the bible says the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. And also calls it the gospel of salvation for short. Jesus also said there is no other name under heaven by which man can be saved. These...

We need to first have the Holy Spirit before we can hope to rightly divide the word of God.

Yes, different ways it can be used. Unfortunately there are always those who provoke the Lord unto wrath (lots of scripts about that), as well as those who provoke in a good way (exhort and encourage etc). Yes, those who accepted His outstretched hand. ( If I'm understanding you.) But sadly...

Unfortunately the roofs and walls of that visible church you are speaking of, esp. the Vatican, ARE like big bowls or bushels that hide the light...both to to keep light from going out as well as keeping light from coming into it. You might want to ponder too, how the tares will be BUNDLED...

Christophany went into more detail, but overall i believe it means the devil is very subtle, sneaky, conniving and deceitful.

Amen brother! And if they are twisting scripture, it wouldn't bother them one bit to twist the Greek as well. I'm sure an actual true and accurate understanding of the original languages of the bible would not lead astray from the truth. I would stake my life on it!

Yes, though I believe that is talking about two different things. Provoking unto jealousy is not the same thing as provoking unto love and good works...just two different messages there. The word provoke just means to prod and goad, and can be used to talk about prodding and goading unto many...

What I understand is that He suffered without the gate because of becoming sin (unclean) for us in an intercessory way. He was put out, cast out, and crucified, for us. Where the Law speaks of not touching lepers and the unclean, it is allegorical for us to "touch not the unclean thing and I...

The true church is made up of those who are born of His Spirit and thus are reconciled to, joined to, and personally know and experience the Lord by that Spirit. "If any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of His." Yes, there is a lot in the Old Testament that can seem disturbing...

Amen. Buried with Him in baptism. And we get tested and tried with bitter waters. The Lord is a jealous God. It's so wonderful how the gospel is seen and preached again and again in the Law! Thanks for sharing that.

So far you have had nothing to say that actually profits the hearer. Just a lot of toying with people to bait and provoke. Do you know that Jesus when He walked the earth "was heard in that He feared " the Lord? And that Esther found favour and survived her meeting with the King only...

Behold the goodness and severity of God: Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. We might reflect on what happened to Ananias and Saphira. As...

Your disdain has not been going unnoticed, just born with up to now. I would just ask if that is of God. Test the spirits. Do you know what spirit you are of?

Are you making fun of the marriage analogy? I don't know what you mean by the last part of your question, but there is such a thing as grace. It's called overlooking someone's faults. Like where it says to bear with one another in love. God does bear with us in love. Much more than most...

No it is not founded on our performance, but our "performance" can "affect" the relationship. Our relationship with the Lord is a living, "organic" relationship, and He is a Person, not a mere concept. It is possible to grieve or offend the Holy Spirit. And also it is possible that we might...

Amen. And the twelve apostles will judge the twelve tribes of Israel...makes sense that this is referring to the ekklesia rather than Israel after the flesh. I am not entirely sure but wonder if the twelve tribes might refer to the different gifts and callings within the body of Christ, or it...

Not necessarily...because of being in covenant with the Father through Jesus. Three-fold cord is not easily broken. There is a difference between willfully sinning and inadvertently sinning. If one keeps on willfully sinning after receiving a knowledge of the truth there remains no more...

Wow, yes.
