2 Corinthians 5:21 - For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. :) The real gospel is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the...

Hebrews 4:9 - So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. (NASB) *Notice that the Greek word "sabbatismos" here is used no where else in the Bible! W. E. Vine, Greek Dictionary points out: Sabbath rest (4520) (sabbatismos from sabbatízo = keep the Sabbath) literally means a...

In regards to the word "water" in John 3:5, there are those who would argue that the natural sense of the passage parallels "water" with being born out of a mother’s womb (verse 4) and with "flesh" (verse 6). The first is a physical, literal, "flesh" birth (which is, of course, accompanied by...

10 Warning Signs of a Spiritual Narcissist

Well said! What we are dealing with are spiritual narcissists.

I thought you placed me on ignore? I already do believe the gospel and as I already explained in post #72, the gospel is the “good news” of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To...

Sin and win? More sinless perfection? Being a Saint doesn’t mean you will never stumble. It’s about the direction of our walk (not the perfection of our walk and I’m talking about absolute perfection) as we grow towards maturity in Christ. I see that you once again dodged my question, so I...

This is the mother of all of straw man arguments used by spiritual narcissists who view themselves as “holier than thou” and look down on others. Reminds me of the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:9-14.

Many churches teach that Christians are commanded to give a minimum of 10% of their income to their church. Others teach that preachers of these churches are turning the 10% tithe in the Old Testament, under the old covenant into a monetary, legalistic prescription for Christians under the new...

Amen brother and well said! It’s always so nice to see when others get it. :) Acts 20:28 - Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 29 I know that after my departure...

It’s a simple direct question. Do you believe that you are sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolutely perfect 100% of the time? YES or NO?

Do you believe you are sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolutely perfect 100% of the time? Straw man argument. Of course Jesus commands us to be holy as God is holy. Jesus cannot compromise His perfect, holy standard and that is the goal to strive for. Why should He lower the bar...

You are not fooling me or any of my brothers and sisters in Christ on the Christianity Board with your decoy gospel, but feel free to place me on ignore if you wish.

More straw man arguments and slander from a delusional, spiritual narcissist. Your faith is in your own, personal power trip and not in the gospel of Christ which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) Let me know when you are ready to repent and believe the...

You turn abiding in Christ into a special experience that only a few, elite Christians will experience and you can't seem to grasp that believers are sanctified/set apart/made holy before God positionally in Christ. You are on some kind of delusional power trip which reminds me of people in cults.

Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. As I already explained, those who have been justified by faith are also sanctified/set apart/made holy before God positionally in Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:11 - Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were...

This is a straw man argument and there is more of a difference than that between a saved person and a lost sinner. (1 John 3:7-10) It sounds to me like you may have bought into "sinless perfection." I've seen people abuse and misuse the words of Jesus "go and sin no more" in John 8:11 to teach...

Saved apart from the merit of works, yet authentic faith is not apart from the presence of works is not a false dichotomy. Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our works. It is through faith "in Christ alone"...

Amen brother! Well said. :)

"Becomes unfruitful, produces no fruit, yields no fruit, brings no fruit to maturity" etc.. does not equate to - indeed bears fruit yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown, as seen with the seed that fell on "good soil." In the case of the thorny ground hearer, the plant was...
