bless you Mike. :) Good wisdom. I find it difficult to stand in truth and yet leave room for people to grow into it....without allowing weeds to have a chance to grow. It's a delicate balance if you know what I mean. We don't want to hurt the weak...but we also want to encourage strength. So the...

I guess if the KJV was good enough for Paul it's good enough for me. Always enjoy reading the bible in it's original English form. :)

Only with the self-serving and ego boosting teachings that pass for doctrine these days. They make people worse not better.

Sanctification is an instant entrance into the presence of God. Are people baptized in the Spirit slowly over decades? Of course not. So then sanctification is NOT a process. But salvation is. So of course what people teach is exactly backwards. We come in and out of holiness...in order to...

People are not taking God seriously. MANY will say Lord Lord...but are following their own egos and flesh. Are we better than the Jews who were rejected? No one iota better.

Who do you think you are? Condemning members here to hell? Is that a perk given to you for being in the "saved" crowd? I tell you...mixing salvation with the ego brings strife....not love.

Men are blind....not God. So you are misrepresenting God here. Jesus doesn't make God blind. You are believing a HUGE lie here. God sees the hidden things...He sees the secrets of men. And ALL things will be revealed on judgment day (not hidden as you suppose)

Whoever looked at the brazen serpent in the wilderness was SAVED that day. But they subsequently perished later. So then look to God and He will save you TODAY....for the evils of TODAY. That's how we walk in the salvation of God. There is no guarantee of a one time salvation that ignores every...

I wish you could discern God's intent in empowering us by grace to cease from sin and walk as Jesus walked...transforming the world by bringing light to the darkness. The ego should stay out of it.

Religious obsessions: The "saved" obsession. Sodzo...the word in the bible for "saved" mainly refers to deliverance and healings in the here and now. God is good and looks after people...both good and evil. He is showing HIS true colours by His mercy, kindness and patience. The ship that...

Sodzo...the word in the bible for "saved" mainly refers to deliverance and healings in the here and now. God is good and looks after people...both good and evil. He is showing HIS true colours by His mercy, kindness and patience. The ship that Paul was in that was forced ashore but kept from...

I'm amazed that so few can see the agenda that the enemy has brought to fruition here and in the errant churches. Christ in you is the HOPE of glory. But that's not enough for people....a living hope is a GOOD thing. But that's not enough for the ego. God can see the vindictiveness of they...

who do think you are? I am speaking the truth...in a simple honesty. But you are showing a false agenda here. And you're just getting started. I hope that many will see your true colours. I like clarity. And you have made your position clear. You are susceptible and allowing evil into your...

When you mix grace with human nature...you get a monster. You get a spoiled sinner who refuses humility and repentance. Hence the need for the cross of Christ and repentance BEFORE grace is given. "Grace is deceitful" But people have made an end run for grace BEFORE they are ready...and not...

Religious mind loops: Since we see that people are so prone to engaging in mind loops...what are we to do with believers who don't know themselves or realize their own condition? In a real church setting...such would be exposed and gently weaned from these false notions. But we see the very...

Agreed. The organic churches often take a lack of authority too far. Many just despise authority. But it is the character of the authority I believe that is important. God has to be behind it. Otherwise it's just an autocracy. The reputation of pastors has been so soiled because of the...

Amen. Leadership is a function and a responsibility. It takes humble men to lead the church...broken men...examples of the dead man in Christ. And one who is seen to have the fruit of Christ even among unbelievers...having a good reputation with the non-religious. If the non-religious can see...

Why would you say that? Paul said....when you meet! We are to follow the biblical instructions. Or...did the church start with us? To be apostolic in doctrine we need to follow the apostolic instructions...as in the teachings of the apostles. And that is one of the 4 things the early church...

I wish.o_O Just responding to some generic slander that seems to pop up with some frequency on the boards. I don't always respond to these slanders...but sometimes you have to know the times to answer or not...as it says in the bible.
