    A New Transformation is required for the modern Church

    No, you are wrong. There is but one Master to God's people, the Lord Jesus Christ.

    A New Transformation is required for the modern Church

    Yes, that is true, and the reason dates back to the first century. Jesus made it clear in Revelation that the church for the most part was drifting off the path. Paul then prophesied apostasies, which the church now reaps, for returning to the ways of the world.

    My Timeline for Planet Earth

    Acts 1:11 "who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” If Jesus has ascended, He has ascended in spirit, for "flesh and blood cannot inherit the...

    A New Transformation is required for the modern Church

    Traditions and cultural variations are not necessarily the problem, but rather what is left out of the gospel. For instance: What church have you heard of in the past 2000 years that has picked up where Paul left off, and actually declared "leaving behind the elementary principles of Christ"...

    1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 interpretation

    The subject of 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 is sanctification (the salvation of those yet reconciled with God), meaning that the message is to those who are unsaved. That, if one is to seek God, the ways of men are to be considered the wrong approach.

    A New Transformation is required for the modern Church

    Thanks for quoting the article. Many of us don't do links. But while discipleship is good and a commandment from the Lord, his comment, saying "It can happen again", would mean we have learned nothing. Jesus reporting that He had "somewhat against" 5 out of 7 churches named in Revelation, is...

    My Timeline for Planet Earth

    Indeed there is a difference between spiritual and physical when it comes to Jesus. But the witness of all scripture tells us that He has already come physically, and "It is finished"; and neither of those scriptures you posted, nor any others actually indicate a repeat of what He has already...

    Due to hostiliy here, I've made some changes...

    Wow...all that within just 25 posts? I have not seen any of your posts--but that is not a good sign. There must be a reason.

    A New Transformation is required for the modern Church

    You are doing it again--speaking as if "saved" is not saved. I would rather be more kind--I really would...but that is not your Yes being Yes, but rather you calling good evil, and what God has joined, you separate. That mindset is the result of "That which is born of the flesh" speaking for...

    A New Transformation is required for the modern Church

    Perhaps you don't understand my point.. To say you see "Christian" as a verb, is against those who have arrived, against the saved. Here above your explanation leaves out the saved, the sealed, those who have entered eternal life, those who "though they die they shall surely live", those "who...

    A New Transformation is required for the modern Church

    That statement (above) is perhaps the point of error, as it is diabolically opposed to "I am", meaning, opposed to God. But there are two things that make one a "Christian": (1) One who is called and follows Christ, even if only for a time. (2) One into whom Christ has come. Some would say...

    Urgent warning about Donald Trump

    Put any spin on it you want. But Christians are not being "gullible"--not even. We put Trump in office, and we did so against the Goliath that Satan has crept into every facet of life. Things that this once One nation under God use to value are now being mocked and the evils we once fought...

    Hey, I'm not to good to ask for help! The Way to Salvation. Me versus my brother (who is a pastor)

    All salvation(s) regardless of Old or New Covenant, can be marked by either of two different points in time: (1) The cross, where salvation occurred for all ("today"...Jesus was correct); or (2) at the moment of faith in God. But it is at the cross that is most correct, as time (our different...

    Why is the "Imputed righteousness" scheme so seductive?

    This is a futile argument. Even Jesus petitioned the Father to take away His cup of wrath.

    Urgent warning about Donald Trump

    You are siding with doubt and conspiracy and acting against the providence of God to raise up leaders. I don't know Pence, but am willing to trust God. But really..."bombing?" Sounds more like emotion on your part. But I do know what you mean about "just knowing someone." That happened when I...

    Why is the "Imputed righteousness" scheme so seductive?

    I see, and I agree--but not entirely. Here rather is the rub and the error of that thinking: Grace can be a dangerous thing for those called--but not so for those chosen. So, either you have wrongly assumed "ambassadorship" applies to those merely called, or you are in error about grace and...

    Why is the "Imputed righteousness" scheme so seductive?

    Now, see, that's confusing. It sounds like a contradiction of terms. Assuming that "Imputed Righteous" means not of the person, but of Christ...that would not make it a "seductive scheme", but rather an incredible gift from God. So...what am I missing here?

    Why is the "Imputed righteousness" scheme so seductive?

    I never said anything about me. But what you have said is not clear. Are you saying that salvation is only of God and not of men? Or are you saying something else?

    Why is the "Imputed righteousness" scheme so seductive?

    It sounds like you are making a case for salvation not being of God, but rather of men and their own righteousness.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I was going to honor your request and just answer the questions...but your line of questioning shows a great ignorance of the scriptures and the reality of God and the eternal. Your whole line is conjecture and theory based on misinterpretation.
