There are three levels of knowledge. I recently saw a pie chart that showed the three levels... 1. What we know 2. What we know we don't know 3. What we don't know we don't know In the pie chart the first was like 1 percent of all knowledge...and the 2nd was like 2 percent....and the rest was...

First you need to state what you are trying to say in the OP. Do you understand the kingdom of God? Have you experienced the eternal walk?

By catholic do you mean someone who reads the bible...or just believes the word? See we all have different definitions to words. So you see the believers who read the bible away from a Protestant type of indoctrination as catholic? Interesting. No. I am called of Jesus Christ to follow...

Grace is unmerited power...in the NT. You are relying on the human understanding...but not God's word. 2 Corinthians 12:9 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the...

You are confusing grace with mercy. Grace IS that touch from God...it is His presence and keeping power. It is also the power that raises the dead and heals the sick. It is God's strength in us. His grace in OUR weakness. You should do a study on grace....apart from the modern errors. :)...

This is a good start! So you do believe that being filled with grace leaves no room for sins. Yes! IF rivers of life are flowing out of us then no sin can fight it's way in against that flowing tide. Being filled with the Spirit. But that doesn't happen automatically. One must seek hard for...

1. The pandemic is about a bad strain of flu that affects compromised immune systems in mainly older people. 2. Almost all the world's leaders are older people with somewhat compromised immune systems (if not consciences!) 3. They get to shut everything down because they can because they are...

So then...honestly...you believe that when we abide in Christ we don't sin? That...in Him is NO sin? Or are you being gnostic and dishonest? And perhaps you are being confined so much in quarantine that you haven't noticed that at least half the forum doesn't believe in overcoming all sin in...

I don't think many really want to know about this. People would rather defend themselves than be open to finding out how the walk of other's is faring. If someone is doing poorer...then that person lacks faith. But if the other seems to be doing better...it's obviously a cult type of thing. :)...

Modern believers usually understand things backwards. They see deliverance from sin as a future event....at death...and the assurance of a race well run at the beginning. So all that's missing is a reality check...and some truth. :)

The kingdom of God. Spiritual people want others to join them where they are...just like Jesus wants us to join Him where He is....in Zion. It's about the higher kind of life we can live in....the eternal life.

..and many also have approved themselves based on their own understanding. These have made their own assurance based on their reading of the bible...and have no sense of reality or truth. In their mind they see themselves as justified. But these lack real humility and the fear of the Lord. But...

Alright....but the verse you quoted has to do with a future judgment (Bema) whereby believers will be separated into they who are to honour and they who are to dishonour...and to what degree. They who are not set for dishonour are they who don't stumble over Christ and the truth. They are not...

I think the article is about what bothers him about fellow believers. :) There are many more categories that could be added in...but aren't. And a lot of this has to do with how somebody seems to be compared to how they are being perceived. So then a rebellious Christian who is corrected could...

אם לא עכשיו אז מתי? אם לא אני אז מי? If not now then when? If not me then whom? :)

Amen! Good post. The physical death takes care of the physical sins...and any chance of moving forward in stature and being pleasing to God. But no one is made perfect by a physical death...it just stops us from doing anything, good OR bad. Then there is the spiritual side of things with the...

An unbeliever's stance and foolishness. You can't prove the non-existence of what you are unable to perceive. Atheists will say the same thing you do about God. They claim that the burden of proof is on believers for proving there's a God. Same logic as you have. That should tell you something...

How does someone determine that with a whole lot of presumption? The whole evangelical system is based on a self-justifying declaration of one's own approval by reading bible verses. We don't need more justifying of self. You said an unbeliever. If think you meant...one that believes. So you...

Backwards logic. I can't boast of the ability to fly when I am in an airplane. The plane is doing the flying...not me. How many here are so indoctrinated that they can't understand how an airplane can fly but I can't without it? (Without Christ we can do nothing) So you're boast is that you can...

This is to miss the entire New Covenant and the purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. So a little off here. But typical of todays' lack of understanding. Jesus came to bring us the perfect life IN Himself. So all we need to do to partake of His resurrected perfection...is to put on...
