    Aspersions? You are constantly misquoting and misrepresenting the arguments that you don't like here. I wish you knew how to dialogue. But you are indoctrinated by human means so you can't receive anything that doesn't already line up with your previous conditioning. The bible can't even cut...

    Please explain this.

    Please...we are to STRIVE (very strenuous work) to enter into His rest. Heb' 4:11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. So we have 2 opposite sounding polarities in the same sentence. But the truth is...

    ...or at least to begin our walks. If we are faithful with what we have been given, we will be given more. That is the way of the kingdom of God. Many have not really begun their walks...because they think it's wrong to go beyond ONE step. Such is the winds of doctrine... Love is...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Ask yourself...why am I on this thread? Do I care about the OP? Do I have any fear of the Lord at all? Do I have a personal axe to grind? or... ask yourself... Am I here to take eyes off the Lord and onto me? Get to know yourself...

    Can you say...Jesus plus "something?" :rolleyes:

    The Fear of the Lord

    You are just exposing yourself...even though you don't like to be so exposed. Your own smear tactics will just backfire on you.

    Please explain this.

    Grace is given as a reward for the works of faith and seeking. Heb' 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

    What is following Jesus look like?

    I'll start with this illustration... I see the Christian walk like driving a car from point A to point B. We get a filling of the Spirit at a fill-up station. And we are meant to go to the next point for the next fill-up. So we are given just enough gas to get there in a straight line. But...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Actually you are the one trying to pump up the volume so to speak by repeating a matter that wasn't even addressed to you. I'm sure that many here see what you're doing. You can't hide from the Lord. The truth will always find you out.

    The Advocacy of Jesus Christ

    Rather than Jesus hiding His people from the truth...he seeks to bring us into the light. Rather than protecting us from a holy God, Jesus seeks to reconcile us with Him. Rather than have us be exempt from judgment, Jesus wants to prepare us to meet the God who will judge us all righteously...

    The Advocacy of Jesus Christ

    I saw this video once on facebook that sought...very mistakenly...to present how Jesus presents His advocacy of His followers before God. In the video it has certain non-believers being sent to hell no matter what they did...which is false to begin with. Then it has another sinner come up to be...

    The Fear of the Lord

    You have shown yourself to be vindictive in the past....and you are derailing this thread with a personal beef that is taken out of context from another thread. But you won't post your disagreement there...because of your lack of honest character. You would appear less of a hypocrite if you...

    Communication of our faith

    Please explain this.

    The good news is not good for the flesh. :eek: The flesh is meant to be crucified...out of the way...to leave room for Christ who is wanting to save us. It is good news for they who seek to be reconciled to God and live eternally with Him. But not to justify the flesh as so many modern people...
  16. Episkopos

    Please explain this.

    You are making this about people again. You have it backwards. Jesus is not just righteous...He has been perfected FOR us to walk in Him. So then by entering into Christ we take on HIS righteousness. We do not take on OUR own righteousness by entering into Christ. Our own righteousness and...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    One cannot be spiritually sinless while actually sinful. That is what Gnosticism teaches. The spiritual realm is there to displace this world...to bring a revolution of holiness and righteousness...not to have people have an imaginary connection to God through a make-believe spiritual status...
  18. Episkopos

    Please explain this.

    What are you talking about. What you say isn't biblical. All people will be judged by their works. THAT is the only biblical judgment. All others are inventions of people looking to save themselves for NOT doing the will of God.

    The Fear of the Lord

    God rejects His children as well as accepts them. Look at Israel. Were they not rejected because of unbelief and disobedience? So we are not superior to them. We are in the same boat that they were...before rejection. So then we need to fear the Lord as Paul wisely counsels because we are not...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Hi Marks. 1. Salvation by works is about obeying the law of Moses...getting circumcised, eating kosher, honouring a sabbath etc... Now I've said this to you before...and I have stated this dozens of times on this forum. So please refrain from trying to understand what Paul is saying..but...
