Why don't you just answer my question instead of accusing? You brought a scripture in hopes of it proving that people can be accepted by God based on their own righteousness rather than faith.....and in that very scripture it talks about them fearing the Lord, so I asked how can they fear the...

Why don't you address the point I made instead of accusing?

Yes, being ready and awake....because when He comes He is coming as a thief in the night....this agrees with where it talks about the servant who buried his talent, that at the return of the master, even what that servant had will be taken away from him. And that is what is being implied about...

I'm not the subject of this conversation and haven't been making any claims for myself at all. You and we all need to come to the Holy Spirit for understanding of those scriptures Epi, to "hear" what the SPIRIT is saying. ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory and that is why ALL need...

But you are agreeing with Epi on his view of those who are disagreeing with him. You both equate warning with condemnation and accuse or insinuate that those who point out the warning aspects of certain things in scripture are being unloving and condemning.

Who is condemning the lost in this conversation?

In that case we better not contradict or water down or confuse what the parable of the ten virgins is simply saying! It hasn't escaped my notice that all you have been saying and implying is not for Jesus, it's for Epi. To undermine and accuse those who disagree with him. I have no problem...

No idea what churches call you sister. I'm not calling you anything. There are sweet sounds as well as savoury and even bitter in the word of God. The parables both warn and instruct the people of God. The Jews first and now the church.

Sister, if the wise missed His voice, then how and why were they able to go into the wedding feast, while the unwise were left outside in darkness? This parable just is not faulting the wise virgins. And that is not talking about what the world considers wise....the world considers the wisdom...

It's not a parable to condemn any of the virgins, it's a parable to warn so that they do not have to be condemned in the end....if we take it to heart. Oil for our lamps is not something that CAN be shared....that is the point of what is being said there. It's up to the individual to pay the...

What is it that you aren't getting about the highly deceptive and seductive nature of the enemy, right from the get-go in the Garden of Eden? Satan's ministers can appear as an angel of light. It's not the evil side of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that is so deceptive, it's the...

Except what does the bible say about having a form of Godliness but denying the power? And seeking to establish one's own righteousness as opposed to submitting to the righteousness of God? Why are people so easily deceived and seduced by forms of Godliness and the righteousness of man...

Those were Jesus' instructions to believers...to those who do know Him, not to those who don't know Him.

Oh yes, He sure is here to wash our feet and we are to wash one another's feet as well. Jesus gave us this instruction at the Passover when He ordained communion. It's an opportunity to examine ourselves in the light of the Lord, confess, repent and be forgiven and cleansed. We are every whit...

"only acknowledge your sin"......I hear the Lord pleading with His people to only acknowledge their sin instead of hiding it or trying to justify it. If we sin shouldn't we likewise acknowledge and confess it? The Lord doesn't change...He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Walking in the light, as He is in the light. Being honest and transparent. I guess for more sensitive issues, you would want to choose your friends carefully.

Blessings Johann. Just been in quiet mode, and doing some gardening. Sore back muscles after a long winter of not doing much. :)

Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 1Jo 1:6-9 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light...

All your loving, non-judgmental, non-critical comments have been duly noted.

What abuse are you talking about? And where have I condemned anyone? You'll have to point these out to me. I'm not even much of a rebuker, myself. If someone is exhibiting a pattern of behaving badly I might try to point it out to them. Doctrines I'll generally discuss and argue like...
