    A Common Error

    The problems in the modern church stem in large part from the lowering of the standard of Christ by the introduction of damnable heresies....such as you are presently espousing. I'm not sure if you are following this thread correctly. But the person you are agreeing with is at the outer extremes...
  2. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    You are simply ignorant of the power of God. That is what grace is. The word instructs me to walk away from people who have a form of religion...but deny the power of Christ's resurrection. The gospel is to the Jew first...but also the Gentiles. Salvation is OF the Jews. You have utterly...
  3. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    Religiosity is found in those who maintain the status quo of sinful humanity...and simply cover it with a cheap form of grace that makes God not be able to see humanity's true condition. And what is the price for that blindness on the part of God? Faith in Jesus's ability to blind His Father...
  4. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    Are you saying that Paul was given a unique and separate gospel from what Jesus preached...that was to be directed towards the Gentiles as H. Richard is proposing? There is so much mud in the water, so to speak. The word "grace" in many churches is seen as God turning a blind eye to sin and...

    What do you do when people don't want to hear the truth

    There is a natural reaction in the outer natural man to defend itself. This is a reaction that is meant to preserve the present life being lived which is according to the flesh. Of course we are not to live according to the flesh...and should receive with joy the things that break down the outer...

    The War on Error

    Salvation is not static, as many believe. There is no line drawn in the sand whereby once the line has been crossed one time.... there is eternal salvation for that one. This is what the devil promotes to fool people from advancing in the truth. The devil will walk circles around the one who...

    The War on Error

    When we are in Christ we have an enduring freedom. A real freedom. The truth sets us free. In the world we have a counterfeit of these things....like operation "enduring freedom" (think the Afghanistan war)....which is actually no freedom at all. Just like Coca-cola purports to be "the real...
  8. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    Luke 9:22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” You have Paul inventing a new gospel....whereas he simply preached what Jesus preached. What gospel do you think Peter preached?
  9. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    It says 3 times in the NT that Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom. But you have nothing to say about that...just ignore what you don't want to know about. Jesus taught the gospel of the kingdom. It is HIS gospel...the gospel of Christ.
  10. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    You are denying what Jesus said...and His gospel, based on a lack of understanding. You would have the gospel that Jesus preached (that of the kingdom of God which Paul also preached) )become a different gospel that one deserves to be condemned for. Truly outrageous. That is what ignorance does.
  11. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    Paul taught the gospel of Jesus Christ. That is the same gospel as Jesus taught. Rom_15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. Rom_15:29 And I am sure that...
  12. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    We should all submit ourselves to the truth of the word so that we can be corrected in our teaching. I believe in the truth....a truth that brings life. Our weakness comes from holding on to dead teachings that bring no life.
  13. Episkopos

    The War on Error

    Jesus Christ is looking to connect with our inner man...apart from the outer man. It is to be...no longer "I". But modern religion caters to the outer man at the expense of the inner man. So there is a problem. The natural man reads the bible and seeks to appropriate the promises for...

    The War on Error

    How is that? Can you say one specific thing at all that is wrong in what I'm saying. You do a lot of posturing....but that's it. It's empty statements like these that make a show of the status quo being just fine...but with zero substance. It's a lawyer's trick. Are you denying that there is a...

    The War on Error

    For an error to have real teeth to it...the devil must add in his power of deception. He has his experts weigh in on a lie so as to make it seem legit. Now the devil can't stop people from making the first step towards Christ. But he sure seems to be able to limit the damage to his own kingdom...
  16. Episkopos

    The War on Error

    I'm not interested so much in all the errors that men make possible with their imaginations. This is about LIFE in Christ. Very few have experienced this kind of life....that is, life of the eternal kind. So THAT is what error avoidance looks like. It is too easy to disprove of one type of error...
  17. Episkopos

    The War on Error

    No...seek the Lord while He may be found. Receive power (grace) from on high....THEN go out into the world. Just like Jesus told His disciples to do before Pentecost.
  18. Episkopos

    The War on Error

    Error has always been in the churches. But I am saying that it is getting worse and worse. As society drifts more and more into perdition...so the churches follow society down that same path. It's just that the religious rhetoric from these churches becomes more and more unbelievable. Soon the...
  19. Episkopos

    A Common Error

    He is preaching another gospel...a different one from Jesus...calling Jesus' gospel...false. All this because he misinterprets what Paul is saying when he says "according to my gospel". A lot of errorists preach this.
  20. Episkopos

    The War on Error

    Actually you were refuting me with your own personal signature...which you aren't seeing. So you need to learn more about yourself and your own way of filtering the truth out of things. Sanctification comes with entering into the life of Christ. HE is our only sanctification. What stops people...
