It's kind of you to try and tell me what I'm thinking......but as usual you are shooting wide. Oh well.

No problem with holiness. But to deny the gospel...which includes what Jesus has wrought in the heart of the born again believer and imputes to us as His children and heirs, even while we endeavour to apprehend and grow up into it all in real time......has to be a false gospel.

Amen. For what do we have that we didn't receive? Nothing that we have that is worth keeping is of our own, but is of the Lord, his Spirit I even believe we need to die to our "own" righteousness per se just as much as to sin. The Tree of Knowledge of GOOD as well as Evil was never something...

Yes we need to take everything seriously, and be humble and don't take things for granted, I don't disagree with that. And one thing that God takes a dim view of is partitioning His land (schism in the body). Anyone doing that in their understanding and in their doctrine might want to...

Something to think about Episkopos....the Spirit of God would not create SCHISM between the foundation and rest of the building. That's what compartmentalizing things that need to be in spirit does.

Oh I believe it......but faith GROWS from the measure of the deposit we received, as the bible teaches, which unfortunately is not how you teach it. Little mustard seed growing into a tree of life. Our small beginnings of our few talents of faith and grace being invested to gain more. Not...

I'm afraid dead letter and dogmatic ideology are on your part, Epi. We can only understand the truth of what Christ has wrought for us by the Spirit. And to Him be all glory and praise.

Those scriptures are shouting from the rooftops, simply and clearly, that THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH....is to ALL BELIEVERS period, Episkopos....all who believe in their heart and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. All those who are born again. Yes, it matters how...

Whose righteousness is the "righteousness level", our own or God's? Well, let's look at that "righteousness level" which you claim is our own righteousness just like Israel's was.....and even teach is no different than the unsaved person's own righteousness which you claim can save them.. I...

There again with the concept of the tabernacle Epi is being too literal. And how can he separate God's righteousness from His spirit? His spirit is His nature (which is pure, righteous, holy, good etc) and it is within the child of God. We are one spirit with Him. On the one hand we ARE...

Amen! Hope Epi can "hear" that brother. Who then can be saved? WITH MAN THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. But only WITH GOD/CHRIST all things are possible.

We repent when we come to Christ, at least in a general sense. With more to come as we go along and the Lord shines His light so we can see and digs deeper in our hearts. A humble and contrite heart He does not despise. Of course the righteousness and love shed abroad in our hearts is...

Um, no, it isn't for that reason...at all.

You seem to be missing the point there.

Yes perhaps, but unfortunately Epi denies the foundation of the faith, saying those precious things like imputation of righteousness don't apply to the born again believer unless/until they are perfected in this life. If he didn't do that, we might be able to start looking into the rest....but...

2Co 1:17-22 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was...

Amen. I think of the fear of the Lord as being on a spiritual level, not the flesh.....to give Him His due reverence as our King.....like wives reverencing their husbands, as we are the Bride of Christ. Knowing WHO He is and the power and authority He wields and what He is capable of in...

Who are the "we" you are constantly referring to and making presumptuous assumptions about? Only those without the Spirit and His faith would call the wonderful truths of the gospel that are known and received by faith "religious ideology".

He certainly does favour His children more than those who are not His. But that is in the way of blessing, not in a human way of favouring and being preferential. We who know the Lord are blessed with blessings and promises that those who are not His just aren't. Doesn't mean anyone is...

What I think is that this is just more false assumptions and accusations to deflect from truths and scriptures that people are bringing that don't line up with your false gospel which you are unable to answer and address. And since you ask, I also think that you might need to examine whether...
