You are not understanding that the fruit is an everlasting fruit. In all your posts you vastly underestimate what is at stake. I can only explain so far...then you have to seek the Lord for guidance.
You dont understand what fruit is at all.. Fruit is produced by being attached to the vine. And ONLY believers can produce it.
If you do not produce fruit. You have done no work. And according to James your faith is dead.
Thats what the first three represent.
I am amazed you talk about the power of God. Yet over and over, The power of God has no meaning to you. People are not changed, they produce n fruit. Yet they were washed, sanctified and justified?
The one who gets offended at persecution...is a carnal believer....one who reacts in the flesh. Read all the carnal reactions here...MANY MANY are the ones who get offended at the truth. It is seen as persecution....you yourself say you are under attack (that's the flesh reacting)...and as they once received the good news with joy...but then their joy waxes cold and they live from their carnal selves the rest of the way.
Who is offended by you? I have not seen anyone. Now I see many (especially your email friend) get offended when you are allegedly persecuted and react in the flesh. I have even seen yourself do that..
The ones who love their families TOO MUCH....are not worthy of the kingdom...but they are the righteous ones who care for the things of this world...feeding the hungry...etc. But it is still limited to the temporal level of consciousness...and never becomes eternal.
No, their righteousness would be what God calls bloody rags, Because their righteous was human righteousness, Self motivated from the flesh. And not produced by God in the spirit.
Then there are those who are translated into the perfect kingdom walk in order to bear fruit for different lengths of time.
The only people who walk in the kingdom are people wh have been born into the kingdom. Sadly many think they are in the kingdom. Yet have never met Christ. Even though they claim to know him. No different than the jew who claimed they knew God, but when Gods son came and he told them the truth they rejected him and had him killed
I have actual faith...that God can tranform people into saints who walk without ANY sin...by walking in resurrection life. You have to see how you are speaking about yourself. I'm amazed at your blindness to this.
You have faith? Well yes, In yourself. What about your faiht in God. Can God change his own children? Or is God limited. And saves people who never do anythign for him>
Who walks without sin? The only one who did this is christ my friend. If we (john included himself) say we are without sin (present tense) we are decieved. Even paul spoke of the war between the flesh and the spirit. Are you saying people walk this earth today and have achieved what neither of these two great apostles did?
You met Abraham? Abraham did not walk in the righteousness of Christ. He was a righteous man who believed God could do what He said. He is the father of many nations...not the few as Jesus is.
I met him through Gods word
He believed god and God ACCOUNTED to him righteousness. Not hs own righteous. Abraham was not righteous. He laughed at God Through fear he said his wife was his sister. He commited adultry with his servant and his children have suffered the war between those two brothers ever since.
You have a very short memory...
Nah, I just know the truth, anyone who disagrees with you is attacking you. You And your disciples say this all the time
Now you say I'm attacking you? Do you have a guilt complex...or something?
You still have not answered my questions or response.
I am just stating a fact. When you refuse to answer and try to blame shift and accuse someone else. What else do you call it?
