If they are leaving the assembly then there is no point forcing a creed on them. In the early church there was spiritual life. Jesus said...all who are of the truth hear My voice. Would you replace that with a church organization that doesn't need for the Holy Spirit to work? Actually that is...

We must make a distinction between those who actually walk in the Spirit (who don't impose religious conditions) and ecclesiastical men who are looking for advantage (like the Pharisees). Look how open the apostles were toward those who possessed eternal life. No point in trying to control the...

Why did the ecclesiastical "authorities" not respect the Jerusalem council? Were Peter Paul and James not more authoritative than later pretenders? If God had wanted to create a religious formula (instead of life in the Spirit) why wait 300 years?

Church councils...beginning in the 4th century were carnal religious practices meant to excommunicate those whom certain ecclesiastics sought to excommunicate others. Further councils sought to get back at those who had excommunicated them by returning the favour...excommunicating them in...

Jesus came to bear witness of the truth. The truth is everlasting and exists outside of this temporal simulation of reality. The kingdom realm is of an eternal order. And Jesus came to bridge the gap between two worlds...the temporal and the eternal.

Wow. Is my book that compelling that you feel imposed upon? ;) Actually you have very little to go on with the book sample. You have made up your mind quickly and without enough knowledge and understanding of what I'm presenting. Many will do the very same thing with the way they read the...

You are reasoning from a previous conditioning and using the word "unsaved" from a religious perspective. There are layers to the meaning of words in the Bible that you are not aware of. Are you presently saved from the power of sin? The gospel is about freedom FROM sin...not freedom IN sin. You...

Actually I'm trying to restore the whole counsel of God back into our collective understanding. This book provides an outline to the framework in which God is building His Church...and how He sees things...from HIS perspective...who is NOT a respecter of persons. And yes, more books are in the...

Here we see what quiet thinking is all about! :)

One of the main purposes of the book is to show the full range of what is possible in Christ. The Bible gives us that range...God is not holding out on us. He is not hiding the possibilities...He is both informing us and warning us. People are taught that to be "saved" is all there is to it...

Reading a bible verse out of context doesn't feed a hungry person or clothe the naked. No one can eat a bible or put on a book to ward off the cold.

The law doesn't specify which to give if there is a quality distinction. I think it has to do with keeping another person warm. Since we are able to give away our least favourite coat...or else our favourite coat...we see that there is being able to go beyond the letter of the law in blessing...

To be sure by grace we are able to go beyond our own desire to do what is right. The law of Christ surpasses what is possible for us in what is only possible when we are empowered to love as Jesus does....sacrificially. However, it is possible to divide our own self-interest with that of others...

OK But the law helps us to divide the pieces of cake equally. It doesn't take a supernatural power from heaven to divide the pieces equally. It's simple geometry! :) :rolleyes::D

In Him is no sin... When we enter INTO Christ we put on His perfection. We walk as He walked. Of course, very few will do this. Jesus said that few would enter into the narrow way and walk the narrow path. Any unbeliever can claim to be in their own sinful strength. That's true. As long as we...

OK sorry...I thought they were random... ouch You can delete my posts...as you are the admin! :)

OK I got it on 2....I always start with "grace" ...this one was "#####" I think it's always good to start with grace regardless! ;)

Got it on the 4th guess...#####. Neat game. :) Tried again...4 again...recut (is that a word? )

---Love others as I have loved you ---Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness ---bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. ---enter by the straight gate ---When you enter a room take the lowest place ---No one who looks back is worthy of Me. ---lose you life...
