This is of course a mistake in understanding.....a horse of a different colour. :) People like to reason backwards. They will claim some lofty things for themselves...and then try to make it fit. People ALWAYS take things too far...until humility and meekness are valued for the wisdom that...

Welcome here Melo Hagoyim (fulness of the Gentiles) aka Ephraim. :) <><

Here is a shortened version of a movie based on the dispute between Rambam...the Jewish scholar and a converted Jew named Christiani. Now there is a definite Jewish slant to the film....but there are some very good points being made...that hold up to this day. Jews look at the dogmatic form of...

The blood of Jesus is the life of Jesus. His blood displaces OUR blood..our life...so that it is His perfect life that takes over as we are translated INTO Him. By grace through faith. We go from a life FOR a life to a life IN a life. It is the power of the cross of Christ that takes our life...

Ciao Bella! Welcome here. :) <><

Dogmas, in the religious sense, are static beliefs about God that stand up against the inquiries and experiences of a living faith.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Heb. 9:27 The difference between believers and the world is that there is a separate judgment for God's household. Believers will not be judged with the world.

Those are two different outcomes....or destinies. The lake of fire kills the soul...it is the second death. (not the second torture). And being cast away into an eternal wandering in darkness is for the hypocrites. The first is for they who are unrighteous and the second for they that transgress...

All men will be judged by their works. God will save whom He wills without consulting the religious systems set up by men. Those that do what is right, love mercy, and fear God are accepted with God. The meek and the humble and they who don't judge others. If people don't judge others...they...

Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. He is the Head of all authority and power. So He has won back the ownership of His own creation. In that sense MANKIND has been redeemed. But that doesn't stop any of us from sinning and missing the mark. But He was also resurrected to bring us life...

We read the bible as a religious fait accompli. My thought is that most believers today would have abandoned Jesus also...given the far out spiritual teachings ...in the face of a very understandable set of laws. So we are taught an interpretation of the truth that leaves out the controversial...

Agreed and of course. A saint is one who has had his "head removed" so that Christ is now His Head. Psalm 140 140 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man (ADAM): preserve me from the violent man; 2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 3...

Why use witchcraft for an example of the super-natural? Surely most modern believers are agnostic towards their own faith when pressed by things supernatural. We tend now to limit God to what a human can do. Human nature now rules over any possibility of a divine nature overcoming the Adamic...

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Of course Jesus had faith. He only did what He saw His Father doing. Jesus was fully man. And if Jesus didn't walk by faith (and faithfulness) then we could never walk in the Spirit by the faith OF Christ. In the Spirit we take on His life and His faith. Or do people think we can move...

Yes...and this works for believers who seek to control their own walks by leaning on their own understanding. Cut off from..."further light"... Matthew 23:37 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered...

The Bible speaks of truth in depth...according to both realms simultaneously. That would be this temporal natural realm and the spiritual and eternal realm. A verse can have great depth with multiple meanings. So to be accurate the wordings are also cryptic at times. There is a form of art...

Modern religion is not about truth but about self-preservation based on religious attachment to certain beliefs. As such there is no actual transportability to others as in the true judgment of the world. No, the concern for to justify oneself...who cares about what happens to others. That is...

People tend to go to extremes...as if to be balanced is to be off kilter. But there are certain conditions that a person must meet...whether voluntary or not....so as to become a candidate of God's quickening in the spirit. How many claim they are born again when they have merely accepted a...

Not necessarily. Those who reject Christ and His words...certainly. But it is possible to reject the religion and yet still obey the words of Jesus. Just like it is very possible to accept the religion and ignore the words of Jesus. Like SOOO many modern believers do. Jesus taught on this. The...
