Mountains represent pride...and what is naturally exalted in the temporal world. Babylon is simply the church that is built on the religious outer man. God has rejected all the efforts of men. he builds His own church. So every effort, denomination and ministry that men claim is done FOR God...

Do you see any difference between the Bride of Christ and the many guests that are invited to the feast?

How is your view different from the Orthodox view of "theosis" or oneness with God? The churches in the West have rejected that doctrine believing that people will always remain sinful. Not so the churches in the East who believe we can actually be as Christ in the world. Of course to walk as...

In that case, everyone serves God. God can make good come about from evil. But the righteous are aware of their responsibilities in this life. God doesn't entrust holy things to people who walk in their own strength. There is a further distinction to be made between being LED by the Spirit and...

Then there is the failed saint category...the filthy...who serve themselves while claiming to follow Christ. These hold the truth but in unrighteousness. Judas is an example. These go unwashed and stain everything with their fleshly ways and thinking. Yet, if they would humble themselves and not...

Rev. 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev. 22:27 And there shall in no wise...

We put on the righteousness of God when we enter into Christ....like a vehicle that brings us into a holy walk...like an airplane that causes us to fly above the pull of this world. So the race of faith is to enter into Christ right now to walk as He walked. Otherwise we are not in the race of...

Saints have more responsibility so they are given more capacity. To he who has more will be given (Matt. 13:12). Saints will rule with Christ over the righteous of the nations in the next age...and forever. There is a distinction to be made between the bride of Christ and the many guests that...

This is exactly right. It's very strange that so few realize this.

Of course, there is no perfection possible unless the outer man is crucified and one abides in Christ. Sin can only be overcome with the full measure of grace from the Lord.

It is correct to think that no one comes into grace by accident. The sheer impossibility of such a walk in the natural sense shows us the need for the intervention of God to bring us to such a place. But being so elevated doesn't mean that the person who has been shown such favour will...

Jesus was/is the God of Israel. His Father was/is the Most High...Elyon. Other names for the Father are "Yah, (singular) and El Shaddai (the Almighty). Jesus ruled from heaven over Israel...His portion. All the other nations were ruled over by angels (called sons of God by association with...

The church that follows the Spirit of God. There is no denomination that can tie down God's Spirit. It's the other way around. It's only as people surrender to God that He takes over. God will not force Himself on man-made agendas. So then the true church of God has no name. If there is a name...

As long as you consider yourself to be an unbeliever, why wouldn't you need preaching? The gifts are for the whole body. Could it be that you have settled for less than a body of believers? How can anyone grow in Christ when there is a clergy system in place?

Preaching is I talk you listen. Teaching is a dialogue...a back and forth. Jesus taught His disciples by answering hard questions. Teaching is interactive. So then believers need to be taught not preached at. that is unless you believe that there is such thing as clergy whereby the people never...

Preaching is like turning over a cold engine with a starting motor. Once the engine is running you don't need the starter anymore. Then it becomes a question of all the cylinders individually firing in the right order. The church of God, once established, is not meant to be preached at but...

Funny question. The only way to what or where? Jesus is the only way to the Father. But how many people care about having fellowship with the living God while they are still alive in their mortal bodies? I would say most believers only want a ticket to heaven...thinking that ignoring the living...

Hello fellow granpa! :) When Adam sinned against God he lost his outer covering which was the holiness and eternal life he was living under. The part that is created in God's image ...the inner man...needed to be covered to protect its weakness in the now fallen world...now under the dominion...

Just imagine if there was a "hate" button. The forum would be untenable. The issue is where people are believing from within themselves. Religions originate from the shallow outer man where every other preference derives from. The survival mechanism of the outer man is such that it will...

There is the spiritual nature of the kingdom to consider here. "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of...
