We shall all appear before the Bema seat of Christ to receive what we have done in the body. Some to eternal glory and other to eternal shame and reproach. And that is the house of God.

I think God created the universe in a way that it functions without His presence. But things naturally are very random and ...chaotic. But God brings order to the chaos through His Spirit. He brings order by making it possible for life to be sustained. And behind it all is a divine order....that...

Great! That's exactly where I was going with this. :)

People get confused on this issue because time isn't factored in. We are BEING saved by grace IF we walk in the Spirit or are led by the Spirit. The spiritual life is a gift. But come judgment day we will not be judged by grace but against grace....we will be judged by our works and our...

OK...so I copied this post from another thread (dialectic) to continue with this important subject.. The Little Book: This could be a thread in and of itself. But the chapter is so important to understand why we need to remain in the whole counsel of God. Revelation 10 "1 And I saw another...

The Little Book: This could be a thread in and of itself. But the chapter is so important to understand why we need to remain in the whole counsel of God. Revelation 10 "10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his...

A brilliant post. Thank you for this uncommon sense! :)

I have mainly chosen the former option on this thread for the ideologues that reason from the carnal mind. The "thesis" one. :)

Now wherever Jesus is there is the paradox...the tension...the scandal...the dialectical polarity of truth. Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human. Now people will religiously affirm this without giving it much thought...and then immediately stumble at the truth. If Jesus gives us...

With hair like that you HAD to be handy! :)

The bible is written as a spiritual dialectic...or a double edged sword...or a wheel within a wheel. Religion takes the mystery out of the bible and makes it easy to understand for the unrenewed mind. But that view is only a half truth. Whatever doesn't fit the ideological framework is ignored...

Actually only one part of the brain deals with chaos...the one that people have a hard time with..as your response is showing. Learning to reach into the unknown is what makes a person advance in knowledge and understanding. It's about connectivity. It's about the renewing of the mind...but...

The ignore feature allows a person to dial out all that is superfluous and of nasty intent. Hey the net catches a lot of kinds of fish. (the kingdom net AND the internet) So we can begin sorting with the ignore feature. :)

Hosea 5:15 15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Amen. Most modern believers refuse to be weaned from the flesh...they reject the bitter truth so they change the bible into a book of sweets. However to swallow that turns the sweet to bitter in the stomach (Rev. 10) So the end of refusing the bitter now is to suffer the bitter in eternity.

The easy answer....to destroy the work of the devil. To win back mankind to God.

Concerning church order and guidance in spiritual things towards kingdom authority, unity and advancement. There is strategy and then tactics to bring the plans to fruition. Strategically we have the bible. But the tactics must be by the Spirit. We are to be led by the Spirit. So every step...

More about oversight. The place of the overseer is in a spiritual place...not a physical one. It has to do with God's appointment and anointing. Concerning disorder brought on by the immature or the rebellious. An overseer needs to wait for the anointing to kick in...to wait until the Spirit...

I remember him. He was bold and brash....and confrontational at times. But he was real. I did find it strange that a man such as he would be a mod...not that that takes away from who he was. And I was over-shocked to hear of his passing. Very sad....actually hard to fathom at the time...and...

Actually grace is available as long as we live. Grace is removed when we die...and we are judged apart from grace...to see what we did with what we had been given. We will be judged harder by grace...because access to holiness and the misuse thereof is worse than simply breaking commandments...
