You are digging yourself a hole. If we are "in Christ" and He "in us", "it is no longer we who live, but He who lives in us" - no more to be called sinners, for you speak of Christ who now lives. Also, you contradict yourself and the scriptures, saying "by His spirit through the word"...as if...

Nor would I purpose to have God prove it to those who do not believe that He has done what He said He would do in the very scriptures you limit yourself to, only believing what you choose, but not all. Listen to you: "Yes...And Jesus also...Yes...Yes...Still you cannot prove" it. You concede...

Justice and righteousness through judgement. But also grace, love, salvation, and eternal life for those who love Him.

...Meaning, you should have known better.

I already did, here before God and witnesses. But now you want me to repeat what you have already spoken against and not acknowledged even though it is written. Why would you have me correct you double? Nonetheless, as you will: Joel 2:28 “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour...

No...the written word says exactly what I have said to you, and I have even given you the scriptures. Which means you don't even know what is written, let alone the whole truth. Your claims are therefore, completely hollow, personal, nonsense - nothing more than your opinion.

It is the written word that is complete or finished, that's all. But the work of the Holy Spirit is not...and to claim otherwise is "unforgivable."

So...do I really need to name off the exhaustive list from Noah to Moses and all the prophets, etc., whom God named by name and personally revealed Himself to as individuals instead of to "everyone" in the masses, to show you how wrong you are? Yours is the kind of thinking that caused Israel...

As I said before, and will say again, the scriptures are of course the only bedrock of truth to retreat to. But to retread as a rule, is not biblical, we must "press on" or be left behind. If anyone is waiting for a personal invitation from God - you have it already. Did you not hear the knock...

Well...I would have to take that "personal", and should, because our relationship, wherein He reveals things to His people...is indeed, personal. So, you are just wrong. And if you believe that God has not revealed Himself to individuals [by name] down through all the ages - call it what 'ism...

Well said. We need to keep this all in the proper perspective, that God's word is good, but He who inspired it is God and "has many more things to say" unto us, though we "could not bear it" when He walked the earth. By these words which He spoke, we know there is more to come [in spirit].

Not sure what that 'ism is really, but I do know that God is spirit...and I will push that to the end.

I would go a bit further... I mean - that's the point. God goes so far beyond the written word, "I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." Of course it is advisable to hold the scriptures as an anchor, but they are little more than world-bound...

This is a pretty good site to checkout, with all the different tax rates: State-by-State Guide to Taxes on Retirees

We die regardless. It is faith in God and His salvation, not our own sacrifice or martyrdom, that saves us.

You're being pessimistic/contrary. I am just telling it like it is: God specifically only gave the law to Israel, and then fulfilled it within that nation through Christ who only came for the house of Israel (at that time). Then came the times of the gentiles whom God did not give the law, but...

I'm sure I don't know what Nihilism is all about. I just know what the truth is from God.

In CA, northern or southern, conservatism is the exception not the rule. We just bought a retirement home in one of the more conservative little areas, but even that is like 50/50...but where we were was 90/10 liberal, so it's much better. You can actually have a conversation with people...

There are two sides to the "like manner" equation, one worldly of flesh and blood, and the other spirit, as God is spirit. But the flesh will not concede without a fight. The thing is...the flesh doesn't have to go...nor can it.

Quotable.
