There's that word again. "saved" I really think people don't know what that means. If a veteran comes back from war with his arms and legs blown off....and is reduced to being a vegetable because of head injuries...but is fully alive besides that. Is he "saved?" He isn't dead. But he is a...

You mean the saints? saints are humble. They won't tell you anything...they can keep a secret. Otherwise God would not reveal mysteries to them. So then try getting the truth out of someone who sees. You would have to get the question right. Humility already knows about God. It is a quick...

The biggest lie and the biggest cult falls under the heading of "Religion". But people are wrong about God. He isn't at all religious. He is holy. But people like religion better...it is a LOT easier. And the people love to have it so.

OK You see the death of the unborn as a callous act. Agreed. Democrats don't care. But what of the death of other people's children in other countries that the West treat callously as "collateral damage"? Republicans don't care. So basically politics is about choosing who you will be callous...

They live in the spiritual realm....which is like a one-way mirror. They see us but unless we are given the spiritual faculty of sight...we can't see them.

A large amount of people can't belong to a cult? Joseph Stalin said.... One dead person...a tragedy. A million dead people...a statistic. So he just killed millions of people so that he wouldn't be seen as a murderer. So maybe the large groups are even worse than cults?

You are offering up judgments on this forum. Unless you're just kidding around (I'm assuming you are serious) and just acting the part of a Pharisee you reveal much of the way you think...by your words. You do know you will be justified or condemned by your words? The word justified also means...

But that's not your spirit at all. Lowliness of mind sees righteousness EVERYWHERE just like Jesus. And HE had MORE cause to look down on people than anyone else. But that is NOT His way. So we need to learn righteousness. Otherwise we have no part with Jesus. HUMILITY sees righteousness...

But you think others are less righteous than you...think about it....How did the pharisees view others who weren't as "religious" as they were. Try to be honest.

When a person has a suspicious character...it is because there is nothing pure in that person. Such a person is unable to esteem others as pure...precisely because purity is unknown to that person. This explains Calvinism in a nutshell.

At this point I see your righteousness as a precise match to the religious Pharisees...since they also judged by their own views. Jesus saw righteousness everywhere. He saw Nathaniel as a man without guile...something you think is impossible....just like the Pharisees. He saw a Roman...

You don't understand the statement. Jesus said "without Me you can do NOTHING". Nothing ETERNAL that is. The same goes for righteousness. A human being cannot do anything eternal ...without spiritual life. But anybody can love others as themselves. it just takes a little compassion. maybe you...

That is a lie... a depraved lie at that. Not found in the bible. Jesus marveled at the faith of a centurion who killed people for a living. He pleased God with his unconverted faith...a faith built around military authority.

Total depravity is that NO one can do anything good or pleasing to God unless God does it through them ...just like you believe. EVERYTHING is evil....except what happens in church? Only Christians can smile and mean it??? That doesn't come from the bible...but the depraved mind of certain...

The idea of total depravity is....well itself depraved. That's a dark view that colours everything as evil. So if a person smiles at me...I'm supposed to assume an evil intent? Utter depravity. So then often it is the people themselves who are so depraved that they think others are all like...

Here is another example... וְצַדִּיק בֶּאֱמוּנָתוֹ יִחְיֶה "The just in his (HIS) faith (faithfulness) shall live." Hab. 2:4 How to say it...and memorize it "(ve) Tsadik Bé-émounato Yechéyéh" the vav is that letter that looks like a line (in this font).....or...ו ....at the end (or the...

On the subject of "and" I thought to put a little more meat on the bone, so to speak. Concerning Eliakim and Shebna...and the vav....or peg. This is prophetic according to the name Shebna...who had a "vav" removed from his name. Difficult to understand unless you think in Hebrew... ;) Is. 22...

Hebrew is a very different language that can be basically impossible to translate one way. There are too many possible meanings....all of which have a point to make. Because God knows no time limitations....the beginning vav is to honour God's viewpoint. Remember that God is often speaking...

Although today's sacrificing is not religious per se....unless we are talking about the goddess "liberty" that adorns your NY harbour.

The "vav" at the beginning of a sentence is a tense inverter. Taking a future to the past or past to the future. For example. "Love your neighbour as yourself" or...ve-ahavtah lereacha kamocha" ...in Hebrew begins with an "and". So it would read..."AND loved your neighbour as yourself."...
