    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    I haven't a clue as to what the nations will be called. Will there be one language for all? We'll have to wait and see. :)

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    I don't understand most of your post....but I stand by the team analogy. Not everyone has the same gift or position...but all work together to move the ball forward.

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    The saved nations in the new earth. It's all in Revelation.

    Teaching style and value.

    Nobody could understand the scale of what God had planned. It was impossible to describe...this access into the kingdom of God. This is where we begin to lose the sense of the word so often...what does it mean to "believe" ? To accept Jesus as your saviour? We could go further by saying...he...

    Then let me be more specific. :) If everyone has the same spirit....then how come no 2 believers can agree on anything? Many are called and regenerated...given a new nature and given access to the truth. But very few people seek for the fullness of Christ and His grace....so few are chosen...

    The Problem With The Trinity

    The rest is details...although those details become very important at the appropriate times. But you have to see the big picture to get the details right. So then the details are there...hidden in the narrative...to be found by those who seek for hidden treasure. The big picture acts as a...

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    yes. To grow you need to see yourself as a "we" (part of the body of Christ) not an "I'. That way you are on a team. We are members one of another. If one member is brought down....so are you. If one member is exalted...so are you. And since this is going the right way...it also helps with...

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    Humility is way up there...and courage. These are aspects of faith. Peter puts a manly courage (a warrior's courage) right after faith...which is virtue. And of course learning to love others. if you love....humility comes easier. You don't mind if others are getting more attention than...

    The Problem With The Trinity

    To actually enter into Zion....a spiritual realm....where one sees where Jesus lives. It is slightly out of focus because of our human senses. But as we fix our eyes on the kingdom...this world goes out of focus...so that we are no longer drawn to it. THAT is abiding in Christ. Walking EXACTLY...

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    If we would rejoice in humility...without claiming great things for ourselves or judging others...then we could be full of joy and confident in the mercy of God. (Always maintaining the fear that keeps us in our place) From THERE we can seek the Lord if perhaps He would take us higher....WHEN...

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    I think it is important to play by God's rules. That's the purpose of fearing God. So if you can't walk without sin by grace....then be humble. If you can't overcome all things by faith...then be humble. If you can't love God and seek His kingdom to the right degree (all)...then be humble. It...

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    Yes....especially among Christians....because that is what is taught. People mix things up without realizing it. That's why few should teach.

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    The mixture is iniquity. Mixing spiritual things with carnal things. Mixing the law and grace. Destroying righteousness in others to be seen as righteous yourself....Saying you see when you don't...etc.

    The Problem With The Trinity

    And Jesus said that the whole law was fulfilled by 2 commandments...loving God and loving others. The first is according to holiness (leading to a higher righteousness) and the second according to righteousness. But the minimum standard is to love others as yourself. Holiness is by calling and...

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    Yes... The whole counsel of God...from Genesis to Revelation speaks of the 4 destinies. It is hidden in plain sight. There are 4 courses or paths that are defined for men to walk in. There is the path the wicked take...to destruction. There is the path of the righteous that leads to mercy...

    Ezekiel 21 Destroy the Righteous Along With the Wicked

    Jesus said to the Pharisees...if you didn't say "we see" ....you would have no sin. IOW their sin was presumption and pride. Many Christians do this too. So then everything looks fine until... So the filthy are just the righteous who soil their garments with lies and iniquities. As for...

    Calvinism?

    I don't know about Caesarea being in the back of Jesus' mind...I was thinking more like Mount Zion... Ps. 125:1 They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. I think it was to show that faith is NOT human belief and opinions. Faith moves the...

    The Problem With The Trinity

    The whole law is to fear God and keep His commandments. But the purpose of grace is to be in relationship with the living God. :)

    Why assume? Not many believers tarry before the Lord to be baptized in the Spirit. Not in these times. And there is much counterfeiting going on. We live in a time of fast food and quick fixes. But God won't be rushed or manipulated. We live in a consumer generation...but God is not a...

    The Problem With The Trinity

    Again...what is the meaning of any of this? What do you mean by remain? Hold to your opinion? What do you mean by power? Your own strength but in a religious sense? Anybody can adapt a lingo into a very human observance...and say...see I'm doing it.
