Amen. The option of being humble doesn't seem to be seen as valid as a consideration among the indoctrinated ones.

Yes...the "sinful holiness" doctrine of men.

Actually holiness tolerates NO sin at all...otherwise it isn't holiness. A little leaven.... Holiness does not forgive. But God is also righteous. Righteousness forgives. Sin continues to separate people from God. God continues to be holy! :) The righteous are scarcely saved...but are still...

Well, there is the universal grace for a future salvation to be revealed from God poured out to all men of good will. If we follow our consciences and do what is right in the fear of the Lord, God will show mercy to us. That is God's love poured out on the world. All the world...not just the...

Grace isn't found outside the law. Grace is within the law...fulfilling the law. We establish the law by grace through faith.

The crossroads of the truth in the word is plainly seen in the parable of the 10 virgins. Five are wise and five are foolish...and these foolish ones are rejected by the Lord. So then the love of God bids us to be humble and teachable...to fear the Lord...and LIVE! But people would rather judge...

Acts 10:43 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in (into) him shall receive remission (freedom) of sins. Peter said this very thing right before the Holy Spirit fell upon Cornelius and His household. Peter spoke the truth...and God confirmed it...

Luke 4:18 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance (aphesis) to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty (aphesis) them that are bruised, In...

Hi, The righteousness of God is always His by definition...never ours. We submit to His righteousness when we wait for His decisions and power...His visitation and inspection. IOW He has to get directly involved...in Spirit and truth. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the...

What I am saying is that we indeed need to seek the kingdom...rather than assume we have it all...as a done-deal. Submitting ourselves to God's righteousness means we wait on Him for His power...HIS decisions...not assume we already have it (as the Pharisees did). Either we wait upon the Lord...

It is only when we enter into Him AFTER the first step ...when we enter INTO Him..that we obtain HIS wisdom. AND...wisdom is something we learn through our many failures. God is patient with us. And we must also be patient with our own learning process. So then wisdom involves meat...the...

Nowadays it's the church leaders that don't want to hear unpopular truth. As such few babes even get to hear about the victory that is IN Christ. So then the truth sounds foreign to them. There is an entire culture of this lack in the modern church. Just start talking about the power of Christ...

The one-step salvation scheme... Actually the born again experience is like a sample given out at a department store. One needs to go to God in a full surrender to get the whole package. And the cost of the whole thing is...ALL! This process is the crucifixion of the outer man so that God can...

The crossroads of the faith are made quite plain when we see that we can go one of two ways...for better or for worse. Is. 29:24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. The very next verse in the bible begins the next chapter...

Welcome Mutt! :)

How many people understand that the bible puts us at a crossroads...to become either a hypocrite or a saint? We can start out innocent before we come to the bible...unless of course we are they who indulge in sin wilfully. It seems most modern people...who don't believe in a full victory over...

This sounds right...at least on the surface of it. How many, after 50 or 60 years in the Lord realize that the spiritual walk is out of reach of our best human efforts? It seems the error of the younger ones is to believe that we can somehow grow INTO holiness. But the bible is testifying of...

OK...we can see that we can reject or accept the biblical message or not. We can turn to Christ or continue to follow the wide road to ultimate judgment. If you are reading this post you most likely have chosen to follow Christ and to not avoid the biblical truth...at least not knowingly. But...

Wilfull disobedience and unbelief is not to be equated with they who have never been given the opportunity to learn of Jesus Christ. In your religion would you condemn to hell a young girl who honoured her Hindu parents (as God commands she ought to) and then dies before a Western preacher can...

Welcome here! :)
