Show me that in Gods word please?. We only come to faith THROUGH our doubt.

Show me that in Gods word please?. We only come to faith THROUGH our doubt.
Spiritual life is a deeper kind of life...it is an eternal form of life. Not very many have experienced the higher walk in holiness. This is another judgment against a people who don't love the truth. People tend to only consider themselves, and not the things of God. People will push eternal things till the end of their lives, thinking that "heaven" is for later, But this is a HUGE error.How do you grasp the understanding of God’s word Epi?
Spiritual understanding that is?
Really religious believer you mean...
Certainty is a human ploy.
You have a theology...based on the Great Delusion.\
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
And when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why reason, because you have no bread? perceive you not yet, neither understand? have you your heart yet hardened? Mark 8:17Show me that in Gods word please?
James 1:6. "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."
I try to spell out that God is the glory and decides who is saved.
Jesus came to us with a message that carnal ones could call a "high fallutin'" spiritual message,
Trying to say I'm a Calvinist huh, slap in the face noted. As always I can count on you with offensive attacks to my character. Some people come here to run for election and like to use the slander campaign to win votes. Nothing new or aspiring in that.What you posted is John Calvinism.
Its a cult mindset, and a doctrine of devils.
See, God does not DECIDE who will TRUST in Jesus.
Who decides that?
You do.
"For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.Trying to "sound spiritual".... by @Episkopos
Yet, you can't actually explain anything you pretend you know..
Ive notice this about you, over the last year.
You state a bizarre religious concept in a Thread or Video, thats is designed to "sound spiritual".... but you can't Actually teach it., as you are only tying to be perceived , = in a certain religious light.
'And when you get called out, all you can do is INSULT, as you have nothing else, once you are revealed, again and again.
And when you do try to teach this "zion" nonsense, your words are "vain jangling".
I'm not able to teach you anything...so you think I'm a false teacher. But what about you having deaf ears?Your words, your religious concepts that you have cobbled together out of commentaries and other people's theology, ..(piecemeal) .. you can't even explain them.. You're religious nonsense teaching, is like watching a Plane with its landing gear stuck... and it can never actually land.
It just keeps going around and around in the air... unable to find any solid ground.
You quote verses, but you can't explain them.
That's something else ive noticed about you.
And when you try to explain a verse, its always absolutely nothing at all = related to Paul's Theology.
That is not showing that doubt brings us to Faith...that’s your opinion ....And when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why reason, because you have no bread? perceive you not yet, neither understand? have you your heart yet hardened? Mark 8:17
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. Mark 6:52
Jesus came to us with a message that carnal ones could call a "high fallutin'" spiritual message, that NO ONE accepted. Even His closest followers had no idea what Jesus was talking about.
Much like modern church-goers.
So you think hardening your heart is the same as faith?That is not showing that doubt brings us to Faith...that’s your opinion ....
We receive faith when we become Born Again, Faith needs to be exercised for it to grow...
Not making any sense “ to me” Epi...try not to be so defensive, your just posting your opinion of me, yet you berate others for doing this...that’s hypocritical Epi.So you think hardening your heart is the same as faith?
Should we take a poll or go by your opinion?
What I say is that hardening your heart is based on doubt. Of course you disagree... you don't reason very well. You are doubting...so you illustrate my point.
You are not the teacher....the Holy Spirit is our teacher?I'm able to teach you anything.
Trying to say I'm a Calvinist huh,
AMEN!!!You can't decide to go to heaven I think. The bible makes that clear. God will make the decision.
Yes God chooses his children to be born again, would he turn away any desiring to be together with him forever? I doubt he turns children away that truly and honestly and humbly desire to be his children.That is not showing that doubt brings us to Faith...that’s your opinion ....
We receive faith when we become Born Again, Faith needs to be exercised for it to grow...
We start off with faith...that faith grows and matures for those who are “ Born Again “ imo/ belief.
…12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in theknowledge of the Son of God, as we matureto the full measure of the stature of Christ.14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.…
Really, you error yet again at not comprehending the doctrine I understand to be true. Take a look at my post #36. It is not Calvin doctrine I follow.Calvin The Devil's owned, teaches that God= chooses who will be saved.
That's TULIP Hyper Calvinism, "doctrines of Devils". "predestined to go to hell or not"... lies.
You just posted the same theology.
You dont realize it?
Really?
So..."connect the dost", as you accused yourself, and i just pointed it out. @dev553344
I don’t know the answer to this dev.Yes God chooses his children to be born again, would he turn away any desiring to be together with him forever? I doubt he turns children away that truly and honestly and humbly desire to be his children.
Amen!!!..100% agree...all Glory goes to God...it’s his Love through us that brings us to loving others...as his word says, we are NOTHING without His Spirit.And when God blesses us with a spiritual birth, his spirit works with us to change us into new creatures, more loving and charitable and true to the gospel. It is his work and glory I think:
The message you’re sharing as it were is truly brilliant, beautiful and very obviously the genuine article. It’s pure joy to read and much appreciated.You are doubting
