You should be very careful then... and realize you are passive aggressive.

Do you know that there is a difference between guarantee and hope? Who runs a race with a guarantee that they are going to win? Maybe if you have mafia connections?? o_O:eek::oops::rolleyes:

Stuck in our own minds means being absent from God. "And it will come about at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the men Who are stagnant in spirit [that are settled on their lees - KJV], Who say in their hearts, 'The LORD will not do good or evil!'" (Zeph...

The gift of grace: people receive grace as a gift...as if God was giving His gifts for nothing...to just be enjoyed by people as if God was a Club Med director. We like to see God as our servant rather than the truth that we are to be His servants. If He gives to us...then it is dishonourable to...

Thus says the LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.....“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.

New Discoveries: As long as we are enslaved by the ordinary routines and same old things over and over again...we avoid any possibility of new discoveries. Our comfort zone precludes adventure. Our spiritual advancement is stunted so that we remain as we always were. There is a hymn that says...

Attitude: The blood of Christ covers sins...but it can't cover a bad attitude. We fail when we seek to survive our failures...when we don't allow the lessons of life to sink in deeply enough. Do we have the same humility as the prodigal son? Here is a man who did wickedly and very wastefully...

One must understand God's ways so as not to fall under God's judgment. Look at your present boastful attitude. Look how you seek to justify yourself by your bible reading. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world...but He did not cover our attitude that leaves our pride and carnal ways...

It's a huge jump from a person believing the bible...which is a good thing and wise....to claiming to be eternally saved for it....which is very presumptuous and kind of negates the previous wisdom.

Yes...with the self-justification by human beliefs. Luther was frustrated that God wouldn't visit Him...so he turned to the bible to look for relief that way. He put together a theory from selective verses that appeal to people who want to be saved...as in..hey you want to be saved? Well, I...

Being forgiven is not the same as God being blinded to our sins. I support a merciful God...not a blind divinity. Luther was way off.

The camp is the religious organization that comes from men. God ordains men directly from heaven. There is only one Mediator...Jesus Christ. So your ideas are all based on men...not God. You don't actually believe that God is alive and working to do HIS will....not the will of men. I have a...

That's MY point. :) I didn't call myself into the faith...but Jesus called me personally to follow Him.

people vote other people into office. God appoints people directly. No need to vote. Actually voting is out of bounds. The council of Jerusalem is no longer in place. But indeed I have placed myself before the church leaders of the city I'm in...Montreal to pray with them for our city. I was...

The church is Christ's and HE builds His own church...a church that is not according to the hierarchies established by men and their colleges. So you are trusting in men. I follow Christ OUTSIDE the camp. I invite you to do a study on Jesus and John the Baptist who stood outside the religious...

Not men...or succession of men as you believe...but by the Holy Spirit. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. My authority likewise...

People are only sanctified by abiding in Christ. The maturity or perfecting of the saints has to do with character...that Christ be formed in us. In the meantime we come in and out of holiness...or not at all. They who say they are always holy are they who haven't entered in. Even the born...

Where does this come from? Do tell!

I hadn't realized that the KJV had been translated into Chinese. :oops:

Go to... Episkopos Just hit "featured threads"...
