You claim to be regenerated I would guess...and yet you are not good. So it is pointless talking to someone who is both in darkness and prefers to obscure the truth. And you have ceded the point that no person is good. So you are just looking to be disagreeable...which works for you very well.

That's false of course. The bible both refutes your opinions AND identifies what you are doing. When you see through darkness...all appears as dark. But to use the bible to deny the truth written elsewhere in the bible is being willfully blind...as well as being in darkness. Here's just a few...

Sure it does. But the bible also says that Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing. So we can do you have done and take that out of context too and be just as unbalanced in your opinions as yourself. None are as good as God...and without Jesus we can do nothing eternal. So you have to...

People are almost never pure evil or pure good. Most of us fall somewhere in between. But there is a great danger in preaching a false gospel....in spite of the best intentions that would seem to promote the kingdom of God. Remember Uzzah tried to help by steadying the cart that the ark was...

Are you saying that only one person endures to the end? Do you realize that many people run in a race? Are you crowned for just finishing? I think you should watch track and field events to get a better understanding here.

Paul was trying to win Christ. Finishing is about enduring to the end. Do you have the same understanding of spiritual things as Paul? Superior perhaps? Phil : 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have...

I think that social justice is going too far for a Christian. We aren't to prune the trees of sin. They just grow bigger. We are to get to the roots and pull them out. So we need to be connected to God and walk as Jesus walked to affect the kind of revolution that saw the early church overcoming...

Hi and welcome. :) The kingdom of God is it's own political entity. If you wish to seek the kingdom of God...you should be careful to not get entangled in the world. ....having said that, are you aware of an author called Thomas Sowell?

Well, I see salvation as different than what our human traditions have made it to be. There is a HUGE difference between righteousness and holiness. Very few are called up into holiness to walk as Jesus walked by grace. But many are accepted by God if they just remain humble, do what is right...

Even the question is with an intellectual slant. ;) Why do you ask such questions? The bible is ONLY about such encounters and their aftermath. It is God among us. God is supernatural and eternal. Any kind of real connection with God is spiritual, miraculous and supernatural. Eternal things are...

The Christian life is a race of salvation. And what does salvation entail? There are good and bad salvations. There is eternal honour and eternal shame. Nothing is sure or guaranteed before the end. Run to win.

Lord heal our brother Steve!

People tend to mix up tongues with the baptism in the Spirit. This is not an issue of something being manifested (or faked) outwardly....but an inward connection to God. I find that people like to exaggerate their own connection to God...which makes investigating genuine experiences very...

Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.

Well, we are not going to be judged by our beliefs...but by our works. Some people who say they disbelieve will fare better than they who say they do. If we can still listen to the words of Jesus and the parable of the 2 sons. Matthew 21:28-32 The Parable of the Two Sons 28 “What do you...

That's for sure! The devil has so infiltrated the churches and for so long that the things we take for granted as traditions, so often...have their origin not in God, but in what pleases men.

You are making Gnostic statements here. Someone who abides in the divine Christ CANNOT sin in the flesh. And Gnosticism is rife in the modern church because so few have worked out that God has indeed come in the flesh. Not just a really good human...but the divine Lord from heaven. And the same...

Taking responsibility for their own sins AND the sins of the world. We can't divorce ourselves from humanity when it suits us. So we ought to stay away from self-justification. We are responsible to be a witness of Christ to whatever degree we have been called to. We are called to tell the...

I think some Christians don't like him because he is more advanced than they are....and they don't understand why. Sign of the times. Mr. Peterson tackles all the hard stuff of being a Christian in a real sincerity without all the self-serving hype about how righteous he is for it. He is...
