...or what is your misunderstanding of an actual good understanding of the parable. What makes you think you know more about parables than what I have described?

A saint says..."others may but i cannot". Tozer said this...and I agree. Some people are born rich and get to choose what they eat. Others die of starvation. Are we really to be so blind as to say...when we hear that the poor have no bread..."why don't they eat cake"? is judgment not to be...

But in this case we must turn away from them. We don't want to commit spiritual fornication...or indulge in idolatry. We are to be holy as God is holy. If God wants nothing to do with them...should His servants go to them behind His back?

But that's the point isn't it. We all play with a handicap or else a calling. We can't judge another by using OUR handicap or grace!! That is why we are not to judge.

Amen...preach it brother. :) The character of a man is known by his word. A man who is a liar will assume everyone is also a liar. We tend to judge others as WE ARE ourselves. So then it is for us to learn to NOT speak unless God has clearly shown us...just like he showed the prophets in the...

With Christ ALL things are possible. Not so without Christ. We have fellowship with God IN Christ.

Agreed. But I am in Christ. Very few will be in Christ. I don't judge others according to the grace given to me. I take God's mercy...and apply it to others...rather than turn on others in judgment as Calvinists do. I know that without grace I would be lost. So then God does NOT give everyone...

Exactly! :)

Many are called...not all. Don't assume (from your box) that God doesn't have different levels of expectations for some but not others. To whom much is given MORE is required. So then the recipients of grace will be judged the hardest of all. Precisely the opposite of human opinion on the matter.

What I'm saying is that you are putting God in a box...stamping it with a religious looking seal...and then judging everyone as the same. Some people will never become Christians...and yet even a cup of cold water given to a brother...because he is a brother...will not lose his reward. If you...

The merry go round is that a lot of people have Christ IN them but no 2 people seem to agree on anything. So then the born again experience is incomplete. It is incomplete without also entering into Christ. So people will try to rationalize away the entrance into Christ ...their whole lives...

Agnostic stance...wadr...prolly. ;)

But you are forgetting that fire also gives off heat. It is not only those who are in the fire that are warm...but also the ones around it. I say this to illustrate that the idea that man is evil...is false....or that man stands against everything that God stands for. This is a man-made...

Why? To what purpose?

The Holy Spirit has more than one faculty. Eating the flesh of Jesus is to feed on His word....so that Jesus is within us. Drinking His blood is to partake of His life. We do this by entering INTO Him. So then eating is about Christ in us...and drinking is about abiding in Christ...us in Him...

You should say..."what is presently perceived as a false interpretation by us humans"....then you could leave some wiggle room if you never got with the truth...or to get with it. :)

And that religion is not religious. It does good works. False religion claims things about God that aren't true based on a very human interpretation of the bible. That's the part you aren't getting.

A key can not only unlock...but can also lock. So when are the doors locked? When we continually grieve the Spirit...or offend the brethren in words and actions. When we claim much but have done nothing. When we claim to know much and have seen nothing. God said...I swore in My wrath...they...

God doesn't test us beyond what we are capable of. But He does expect our full effort. Until that happens God willnot make a move towards us...and I'm talking about a person who has been a believer for awhile. The blood of Jesus is the LIFE of Jesus. We partake of His blood as we partake of...

Our righteousness has to do with what God thinks we are doing. He is the judge. So if you believe a person can be obedient to God...without even realizing it...then we are agreed! :) Remember when Jesus said...if you didn't say "I see" then you would have no sin. But as long as a person...
