Sure they are. At least they represent the very face of the modern church. They preach a message that appeals to the masses..a wider road to salvation. This thread is no place to begin deconstructing their message. Some of which is good...some of it questionable and some downright false. A...

Not at all. That doesn't even make any sense. This is not a judgment of the church. Jesus calls the ones who were helped (or not) MY brethren...not YOUR brethren. All the nations will be gathered for judgment. None of these are Christians. It is the world...not God's house being judged. There...

Grace empowers us to do as Jesus did. So then of ourselves we can do nothing. But in Christ we can do ALL things. Do you not deny this? As He is so are we in this world. No difference...when we are IN Him. In Him is NO sin. So then WE become the righteousness of God IN Him. Not...Jesus keeps...

The commandments of God are to love as Jesus loved...to be holy as God is holy...and be perfect as God is perfect. God said to Abram....walk before Me and be perfect. How much more then can God expect from us who walk in Christ and the power of His resurrection? Put more simply ...he who...

Phoneman777 is right. The word states that it is by works that the righteous are saved. Look closely at Mat. 25 sheep/goats judgment. What was the criteria for salvation? The works done to the lest of Christ's brethren. These were not believers themselves...but were justified by their...

Just as God confused the language of they who sought to make a name for themselves at Babel (Babylon) by uniting under their own purpose....so God has confused the understanding of religious ideologists by making the bible difficult to understand ...properly. Look at all the possible...

Yes. We take on the role of God's people as we are given both the calling and the grace to do so. But let every person take heed to HOW he/she goes about it. If God didn't spare the natural branches....

All praise and glory are His for ever. \o/ \0/\o/

Hey soul man. :) I see you as a very committed brother with a good heart. I agree with much you say...and where I seek to correct you I do so with love for a brother. Keep fighting the good fight of faith! Peace to you <><

Or how about..."If I had a nickle for every time something was said that I didn't understand I would be asking...where are all these nickles coming from?"

Heaven or Hell/Saved or Not? Both of these ideas are not part of the biblical dialectic. They are a misunderstanding of the biblical message. Heaven's counterpart is Earth...not hell. As in..."On earth as it is in heaven. (Heaven and Hell was a Black Sabbath album I think) Saved or not...

If we as believers overstep ourselves and allow our own actions to overshadow the actions of the Spirit of Christ that is a potential in every believer to follow because of His seed in us...rejection from the beloved yet still saved into the nations to be ruled over by the saints...and in...

For the record...after all the confusion being sown on this thread...we are to go from the power of the flesh (for the Jews this meant the law of Moses and for Gentiles pagan idolatry)...to the power of the Spirit. We go from the law of sin and death (walking in our own strength) to the law of...

Such pride and arrogance...encouraging error...grievous error. You want to stop people from actually understanding what you scoff at...the truth.

This is so subversive to the truth. Paul is speaking of the power of the gospel. So you are rejecting what is meant to save you. Linguistics? Paul uses words to describe the truth. And you call it linguistics? You don't yet understand the gospel.

Amen! Usually the teachings of Jesus are relegated to the Jews or anyone else rather than they who claim to be followers of Jesus. People are looking for a quick fix religion. Jesus is just there to die for us. Not to be listened to. And if one misunderstands Paul...it is possible to whip up a...

Should I be rebaptised? If you look in your "featured threads" you will find any of your threads that have more than 20 posts...usually. I think the mods have a say in it.

There is another thread where we are discussing the dialectic. People tend to see the bible on the same surface level as any other book. But one can't read the bible that way. There is more depth to it. Being saved by grace through faith means that we walk in the Spirit (something impossible...

Rom. 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Highminded? In the Greek it's a big long word that means arrogant or having a high opinion of one's ideas. I see it as taking oneself too seriously. There are as many ways to do this...

True...although not very common. I had no idea that walking with God was possible growing up Catholic. of course never say never! :)
