The "religious industrial complex" perhaps?

Prayers going up to God... <><

Israel will always be as Jacob once he is transformed AFTER having tussled with God and received a blessing. Seek the Lord and live.

We are still under the law unless we walk in the Power of the Spirit. The law of sin and death. Those who sin outside the law perish outside the law. To enter into eternal life is according to the Spirit. Walk in the Spirit in the power of resurrection.

To walk in the Spirit is to walk in the POWER of the Spirit as Jesus did. Attached to this are spiritual faculties so one can perceive the spiritual realm. In such a state one can focus on things above so that one can keep this world out of focus. A walk in the Spirit is to walk in more than...

But that's about immaturity. There are many more gifts and faculties from the Lord that could puff up the carnal believer.

1 Cor. 14:39 Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

No "ism" survives the truth if one uses the whole bible. One needs a "holey" bible (not a holy one) to support all your interpretations Dave. The bible is written on more than one level.

You mean...proper dogmatic beliefs. Faith moves mountains...remember? You think this is about accuracy of beliefs. Like say...the Spanish Inquisition?

We are to have faith in God....not just beliefs about Him. You are describing a human religion....

The human brain can absorb a lot of biblical verse knowledge...by way of the carnal mind...but little to no understanding from this. As an example the C of C permit no musical instruments...why?...because they are not mentioned in the NT text!!! (but then neither is clothing) Talk about legalism...

For Jesus it is finished. For us it is just getting started.

Who is doing the accepting and who is doing the pleasing? We are to labour to be pleasing to God and be accepted of Him. But the modern carnal gospel has God trying to please us so we can accept Him. Fully backwards.

Is it surprising to find that false believers want to be saved IN their sins instead of away from sin. To know Christ is to know the power over sin.

Just love Philippians. Not enough of them I say. :)

I don't think you have been paying any attention at all. You are speaking through a massive indoctrination. Nobody is guaranteed a salvation before a life is lived out. You are completely refusing the process of salvation demanding a guarantee before you get started. That is the flesh speaking...

This sounds like a sunday school class given by someone who has had one too many. The location that is Christ has no sin. In HIM is no sin. Those who abide in Him do not, and cannot sin. Anything else is a lie and damnable by God as a denial of grace.

Yes. Paul discovered a law within himself that held him captive...in bondage. The gospel is about liberty from bondage. The law of sin and death. He was still held captive under that law....as most believers are today (but ignorantly claiming to be in a 'saved" sinful state.)

The apostle Peter...not Bishop Peter. Of course Peter visited and preached there...but so did Paul. Peter may indeed have died there....as did Paul. Both were apostles and traveled....not Bishops.

I am not against a country for the Jews...just don't call it Israel. It is Judea.
