And what do we know? We know that the gospel has IFS. If those IFS aren't satisfied...then the Lord will take away from His promises to the faithful.

At Yom Kippour....each year 2 goats were selected...one for sacrifice to the Lord...and one set free into the wilderness. (Lev. 16) This is a picture of Jesus and Barabbas. The followers of Jesus Barabbas are looking to preserve their lives. The followers of Jeus Christ give up their lives...

we are presently in the Laodicean period in church history. If you are not sure of this...check out the threads...

Here is a verse in the NT that shows that you don't understand... Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before...

So then if you believe OSAS then that is the same as truth? What about the rapture? I know people that believe that if tou don't believe in the rapture...then you can't be raptured. As if God was a philosopher...that heeded the pretensions of men.

A person who walks in the Spirit doesn't need to look for security elsewhere. Those who have NO LIFE in them but own a bible...will spend a lot of time looking for verses that they think bring them salvation. I have seen lists....MANY times of people that had little faith...but a lot a false...

Not at all. Jesus paid the price for the righteous as well as sinners. Jesus paid the price for all 3 types of sin. All people need Christ. But not all are called to follow Him. MANY are called...not ALL are called. So then you again are missing the gospel.

Quite possible...but it still says church. So maybe God allows people to put the word "church" on their buildings...just to get their attention?

Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. Your idea of "saved" is from your indoctrination in religion. The bible doesn't think the way you do. The bible isn't religious. God will judge the works of men...after this world. At the GWT. read Mat. 25...the sheep and the goats. A Christian is...

Such were SOME of you.... not...such were ALL of you. You miss these little details that change everything. 1 Cor. 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are...

People tend to over-compensate. So an insecure person will study the bible and memorize the verses that appeal to their self-interest. It won't even cross the mind of a secure person in Christ to seek out verses that promote security...or at least that sound like they do.

Sure...even the Laodiceans church was still referred to as such although they were naked and blind.

That's your opinion ... but far from the truth. Do you have anything beyond a religious opinion or Bob Dylan lyrics to back up your claims?

Are you saying that unbelievers are not under the law? Do you realize that the world is not the church and the church is not the world? I think we have found your root error...

Whoever is not against us is for us. Read the Sheep and goat judgment. Many people who think they are serving Christ are actually doing the devil's work....like judging everyone. But many are doing the Lord's bidding without knowing it...like the sheep in the story.

Jesus did not come to call the righteous to repentance...but sinners. Not all people are corrupt. The righteous are WEAK...not corrupt. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The grace of God gives us strength to be as Jesus in the world. So then His strength is made perfect in our...

I am seeing what is in the church...and find you there curiously haunting the place with your judgment of the world.

Why is everything a polarity with you? That is religious thinking. You have your mind stuck on one idea (idee fixe) and can't see beyond it. No one is righteous like God. In comparison EVERYTHING we do is imperfect. Like the way you are thinking...which is even more imperfect than the ones you...

That's what I'm doing....looking to clean out the house of dead men's bones.

We are just here "having a 'forum' of godliness" after all... ;)
