Mammon controls money...it is the power that says...everything costs something. We put a temporal value on things. So money is not actually Mammon itself, but the spirit behind it. If we will but worship mammon (temporal increase) then we will have all we desire in this world. That is the...

It is by faith Richard. God loves faith and responds when we cry out to Him by faith. He loves us and will translate us into His kingdom when we make room for Him.

God has no need of money. Money is a man made commodity that leads to the worship of Mammon.

Thanks for the encouragement. Very few indeed will walk in the Spirit of God in order to do the will of the Father.

On the one hand you say you agree with the bible that those who do bad things (sin) are not righteous and therefore will not inherit life. But on the other hand you say salvation has nothing to do with what we do...which does not agree with the bible. This is a false balance. 1 Corinthians 6:9...

May the Lord forgive your disrespect. I am assuming you are very young. A symptom of the youth today is to rail agaist any form of authority. This follows the biblical prophecy and shows us we are in the last times. Haz do you respect and obey your parents? Do you respect anyone besides...

I am pointing out what the bible is saying as true...and yes I have experienced this...and hung in there for various lengths of time. I understand Paul when he said...I have not yet atained...and he said this as someone "dead to sin". How do we get filled with the Spirit? By seeking the Lord...

The bible warns us of judgment when we disobey the Lord. The gospel is seen by carnal men as an excuse to keep alive what the word says must die. The errors go so deep that they are stacked on one another until the message loses any sense of reality whatsoever. We are not to add our own faith...

If Paul or anyone doesn't teach the gospel of Christ then they are not His. Paul is very misunderstood by people who think they actually get what he is speaking about. "Easy" they say..but even the apostles thought that Paul was dificult to understand sometimes. So do we have men that are wiser...

Pride is a killer. Those who have never experienced victory in Christ will say..."there is no victory in Christ" and then attack those who testify they have. If they have not...then no one has!!!! How can anyone know more than them????Even the biblical testimony will not convince them.

Do you go to the same church as Richard Burger? I have already dealt extensively with the gnostic heresy that does away with responsibility for one's actions.

This applies to all men. Christians are to abide in Christ.

Preach it brother!!! :)

I agree with much of what you say. You are speaking from the point of view of righteousness according to what men can do. What the gospel is about goes beyond this type of righteousness..it is God's righteousness in us which comes to us as a supernatural (mystical if you will) power to walk in...

Lip service and mental assent have nothing at all to do with Christianity. We are saved by believing in Christ and living through His grace.

Amen brother!!! :) This is a human reasoning that negates the power of Christ and the grace that empowers us to be holy.

The doctrine of unconditional salvation is way out there. It denies the whole teaching of the bible in order to invent a religion of salvation based on a "saving gnosis". This is not the right way to determine if somewthing is biblical or not. The devil can more easily use a biblical word in...

I am testifying to the very same thing in that quote. We can walk in an actual light...a light we can see as our eyes are opened to the kingdom of God. The presence of God is full of light. True Christian fellowship is in that light where we are walking together IN Christ. The sheer love and...

I am trying to bring a litle reality to the many fantasy stories I see made up due to a faulty personal interpretation of the bible. One must be very careful and fearful when reading the bible so as not to go off on a tangent thus bringing condemnation on ourselves. Remember it was the Pharisees...

When a person receives the truth in all humility...God is very merciful. When a person twists the truth in order to negate the power of the gospel...then that one is condemned. Notice the goodness and severity of God. Rom_11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which...
