So, what I'm hearing over all, is that you consider Jesus and the gospel to be religious.....ashamed of Him then, and need to package Christianity in a way to make it more socially acceptable, turning it into some kind of new age philosophy where Jesus is conveniently put off to the side and...

I don't hate Muslims....I was just sharing my discernment of that dream. It didn't feel right. Did God give you any scripture to go along with it? Did you wait on Him to understand what it meant? When I have a dream or vision, the Lord generally gives me scripture to confirm it or show what...

Well Epi, you will have to show me where/how JESUS was in any way lifted up in your message. What is this thing called "eternal consciousness"....shouldn't the point be that we have been awakened at the cost of Jesus' own life to an awareness and experience of Jesus and God Almighty? It's not...

Only the devil would call the gospel the great delusion. Making what is true and pure and uplifting into something filthy and false is what you are doing. The dream about the mud people reminds me of Islam to be honest. Do you do yoga, or engage in any new age or Buddhist practices?

The good news is that her sins would be forgiven if she were to come to Christ. And she would no longer be under the dominion of sin but would experience a change having received a new heart (His nature/spirit within). Whoever is telling anyone it's ok for a believer to continue walking in...

That comment was horrible and out of line and you who call yourself a Christian overseer agreed with it. I haven't been able to keep up entirely, but I haven't seen anyone else speaking in that vein. It was base and inexcusable.

Yes, and there is no mention of the part JESUS played in the new birth. The feeling I get is like something floating on air without a solid foundation. The first ten minutes sounds like New Age rather than Christianity and it makes me want to ask the speaker what he thinks the difference is...

Wow, is this of the spirit of Christ Jesus?

GOD is not the author of confusion. Confusion is the sand the devil throws in our faces to try and blind us and knock us off balance.

? Why do you think "gospel" means good news? There is a reason why it is good news.

Are you confusing our initial salvation with what it costs to follow Jesus? The bible does say it is a free gift, certainly: Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the FREE GIFT. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by...

Romans 10 says - Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved....how then can they call on the one they have not believed in? The bible also says it doesn't depend on us, but it depends on God who shows mercy to whoever HE wills....some could be called relatively law-abiding people...

Amen, Jesus on the cross, who became sin for us. It shows what/who He defeated by going to the cross.....the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

We do serve the LIVING God. And His word becomes alive and active through His Spirit. So not entirely like a road sign, unless it is only approached that way by the one reading.

Yes, I know what you're talking about, the Lord taking us over and we just go along for the ride so to speak. But I've never thought that was meant to be a continual state, but rather the Lord doing as He wills, when He wills it, for particular purposes. But we need to be 'available' to Him, I...

Thanks for your response....yes, that was some nasty ice storm! Thankfully it was just rain further south where I live. Hope you and family weathered it ok. I wonder if God's rejecting/accepting is judged according to how each soul is doing at their level of maturity and understanding. One...

Amen, the battle being in the mind....as being kind of the seat of the soul....mind, will and emotions. Soul being the self that we must deny as part of taking up our cross...? And that God in His wisdom to help us often denies us the satisfying of in this life. Lord bless you for all you...

No, we are not to flagellate ourselves like some in the Catholic church do....but it is the Lord who is leading us and He brings/allows the chastisements that are working together for our good. My question, in light of those scriptures about losing our soul-life for His sake, would be, does...

I had always taken that to be talking about the flesh body as well. Is it possible it is also speaking of the soul-life? I don't know, maybe.

Happy to discuss these things, brother. I might need tweeking on some of this, but just going by those scriptures that I brought....if that is not correct then how are we to understand them? I believe there must be a reason why even though our old man has been crucified, we still need to...
