Aware you say?!! You may be over-influenced by Augustine the Hippo.

The bible says that believers are dead to sin. You know any?

Mormon's are just religious people with an agenda...not unlike yourself. The truth is found only in Christ.

This is a completely false argument. You have set up a false scenario where everyone who isn't as deceived as you are about religious beliefs is evil. What you forgot about is God. You don't understand what God does INSIDE a person. So your lack of faith in God causes you to think that the only...

What does going to heaven even mean? As in...all dogs go to heaven? (A children's movie, I think) People have little pieces of the truth. But things can be sorted. Going to "heaven" is for right now. We can walk with Jesus in His habitation ...as a free gift. No one earns their way into the...

How do you let people know you’re a Christian? 1. Hopefully by my actions 2. Taxation is theft 3. Tell them you eat Chick-fil-A at least once a week 4. I tell them I'm a Christian 5. Talk? To people? What say you...? ;)

Hey, does anyone have any spiritual gifs to impart to this thread? (you know those internet pictures)

To the OP....I think we abandoned Jesus. To the quote above...that Aramaic crowds are always pushing their Peshitta. They go too far in their claims. People who know Hebrew realize that Eli Eli lamah sabachthani...is indeed Hebrew. If it was Aramaic it would begin as " alahi, alahi, lemanah..."...

1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him...

OK Just know that God loves you even if you are not destined to rule over galaxies and tend personally to Jesus at every meal. ;) Too often we see the kingdom of God as a fantasy tale we feel entitled to. But just to be in the saved nations...is still far better than living here on earth. it's...

OK....I meant know Christ in the intimate sense of experiential power. But I agree with you. In 1 John it says if we sin we have never known Him. I take that to mean...if you have never stopped sinning so as to walk in a supernatural life of power...then you have not yet known Jesus AS HE IS...

Good to hear from you! :) Leave room for what? What I am saying is that the Holy Spirit is IN a person who is born again. It is Christ IN us. But it takes going to the throne of grace to get the FULL measure of grace. We need to further enter into someone who isn't us....Jesus Christ Himself...

Have you come yet to the conclusion that it isn't the doctrine per se that makes one righteous before God...but how we hold onto it? One can be a grace legalist after all....just as much a legalist as someone who thinks eating pork sends one to hell. But isn't pushing grace on others an all...

Have you come yet to the conclusion that it isn't the doctrine per se that makes one righteous before God...but how we hold onto it?

A person can walk with God in the most intimate way and not realize how God works with others. IOW he only has one reference point...his OWN relationship with God. But if that same brother failed miserably...like all the original apostles did by denying Christ or running away..or fall into a...

That's the whole point of this thread... :) Well said.

Do I detect a legalistic rigidity in your demeanor? You're going to fit right in here! :)

Kudos bro! You have the attitude of a genuine seeker of God...rare in our times. :)

When it comes with these man-made doctrinal monikers I'm with you. I'm a religious term abolitionist. I would only be a secessionist in ending these doctrines. :) But a secessionist is one who follows other people who also believe the gifts of the Spirit have ended. Welcome to the forum! You...

We're hoping you can tell us! :) Welcome here!
