UNDENIABLE AGNOSTicISM.....o_O:p:cool:

Maybe you should start a thread called "dogmatic uncertainty" to cover your agnostic POV. ;) I never intimated that the truth cannot be known. The dogmatic part is where you are told what to believe in a ready made format. IOW an easy and shallow acceptance of something that goes deeper than...

God works on us....but we also must seek God for the full measure of grace. So they are not the same at all. If you visit me...you can know where I live....but that doesn't tell me where you live. How can we follow Christ is we only know Him when He is with us? We also need to go to WHERE He is...

The new covenant is about getting a new heart...not a new mind. The mind needs to be renewed by living from the heart. So then Romans 7 is a realization that being born again (Christ in you) does not instantly remedy all the problems of sin. No, we also need to abide in Christ to be filled with...

Overwhelming clarity. Certainties of the religious kind reflect an advantage to the person...making them "saved" and others not ...for adhering to certain religious beliefs.

You are issuing pure hyperbole...and itself this is way off base. So just another false statement and accusation...that goes with your brain conditioning. Look at the text... 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the...

Rational debates can only happen when there are rational arguments.

A fine example of the Holy Spirit speaking is at Antioch when the Spirit said...."separate for Me (God) Paul and Barnabas for the work I am sending them to."

Sin that leads to death is any sin that takes you away from God's presence. Of course very few have ever experienced that kind of walk so they wouldn't know what sins that pertains to...since they are already absent from the Lord's presence.

The idea of an "afterlife" is a religious construct adopted by a dogmatic Christendom from Norse mythology and other such pagan religions. To the disciple of Christ, eternal life starts right now...otherwise it isn't an eternal life. When we live in the Spirit we shall continue in the presence...

The idea of being "saved" is a human interpretation and tradition based on an oversimplified ideology meant to fill pews. We are in a race...where there are winners...to honour....and losers...to dishonour. So your whole premise is wrong from the beginning. No one finishes the race before it's...

Whoa...that's a surprise and a half! :) But amen!

That is an ideology that leaves out half of the truth. What about all who will be cut off? Half of the virgins with lamps are rejected. The Laodiceans are spit up and out. The truth is that a Christian with a new birth is equivalent to a Jew with a natural birth. In Christ there is no...

No one begins the new life with maturity. So then sinning is almost inevitable for they who are born again...until trials and suffering bring more wisdom. So yes, a born again person can still sin...but not when abiding in Christ. In Him is NO sin.

If you are an alien in this world....what world are you native to? If one day you think you will emigrate from this world to be a future citizen of heaven...doesn't that still make you of this earth in the meantime? Do you realize you can walk in the Spirit and actually be aware of heaven now...

I am trying to connect with brothers. But there is something un-brotherly in the way...a lack of honesty and transparency. There is a great deal of false doctrine, brainwashing and dogmatic triumphalism that has spoiled the church. But many cling to that as if it was of God rather than from...

By objective truth do you mean the person of Jesus Christ? It's too easy to try bringing God down to our level. But the results are not that good. The ready-made doctrines that we receive are in low resolution. IOW they need to be unpacked. When we send a big file over the internet we compress...

If you put enough people on "ignore" you can have a safe environment. :) But then how are people going to see where they are in error? After all we are talking about people's souls. In this world we will have tribulation and trials. But what's that compared to the reward of being with the Lord...

I think nowadays the churches are happy to be the pillar and ground of "A" truth. Or they are purveyors of religious "facts." But there is no power in these. The truth is alive in the person of Christ. If we don't have the living Christ in our midst then we are just a religious social...

The pearl is that relationship we can have with Christ. But to have it we need to be where He is...so we need to break with this world (sell all) and be in the kingdom realm that God translates us into. When we are in that realm (spiritual) we can have fellowship with Jesus and the Father. We...
