So you are saying you don't have one? A testimony? May the Lord grant you one!

We need to be renewed in our minds...otherwise we corrupt what God has put in our renewed hearts. God renews the hearts...but we must submit our minds to the Lord for renewal. Our minds are the battlefield. I call it the mind-field. ;)

So you read the verse but didn't understand it. God recognized that Lot was indeed righteous....on his own. In the OT men had to sanctify themselves. In the OT God was looking for righteous men...like Job. He wasn't making them righteous....He was testing them to see HOW righteous they were...

But you are humble...which makes you very knowledgeable...where it counts! :)

You mean my English reading skills AND my lack of religious indoctrination. ;) Hey in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king. So do you recognize that Lot was righteous? or are you going to stick with your misunderstanding that "none" is righteous...no not ONE?

This is an opinion...which is very biased. The bible speaks of BOTH Father and Son creating the universe as ELOHIM... Let US create man in OUR image. But you can't see the plural.

All this is false. The additions to the text in Gen. 4:1 are not in the original DSS manuscript. They are Aramaic targums that add the lies in....from the understanding of men. So all this proves is that the opinion about the serpent seed (from early Kabbalah) goes back to ancient times...

This is so obviously false. You are missing the main point again here. Lot (a resident of Sodom) WAS righteous in God's eyes. Your denial of this just shows a wilful ignorance. 2 Pet. 2:7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for...

Jer. 48:10 Cursed be he that does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keeps back his sword from blood. Now that statement sounds like it was made by Attila the Hun.....if we take it literally.

I like some of the Eastern rite doctrines...specifically theosis....which is basically unknown in the West. But not unknown to all. :)

The soul lives in darkness...until brought into the light of life. All the senses are in the body. They are carnal. They feed the soul with connectivity to this temporal world. So then it is easy to be carnal...if we rely only on our carnal senses for truth. This is a carnal man. Then there...

Another aspect of sound doctrine is that is tears down the lies without tearing down the inner person. When you see the controlled demolition of a building in the midst of other buildings...as in...the building goes straight down without damage to other buildings in close proximity...it is a...

Are you saying I will not have God's blessing if I don't send money Money=blessing? Did you know that Martin Luther was against selling indulgences in his time? The RC church needed money to complete the basilica...so they thought of a way to raise cash. The kingdom of God is not promoted...

Send your money now! ;) God's last profit. The more money sent....the quicker Jesus can return.

I see that you are... Welcome here! :)

Amen! The word is there to reveal US....while we are trying to judge others.

I think one must ask more probing questions to ascertain with any certainty whether a person is speaking from experience or opinion. There are ways to know... For instance...if a person says they fought in Vietnam....ask them...what division, what battalion and what was the name of their...

I thought to add.... We are not like God. If we went to a junkyard to look for a wreck to restore, we would choose the car with the least amount of rust....not the most. God is more like a doctor looking for the most desperate cases. And that was us at one time. ;) All praise to His name! :)

We help where God permits....otherwise we do need to leave that person to God. You need to walk away sometimes. Otherwise that person will use you as a crutch...in your well meaning attempt to help or be supportive. We are not God. Pray about it. A sound judgment is required to protect others...

Sound doctrine exposes the flesh. Sound doctrine allows the word to do it's work. The word of God created the universe. The word of God is able to transform us into the image of God. But then there is the ego...the self...that filters out God and makes everything about us as individuals. This...
