You are thrown off by the fact that you are judging from yourself...a platform of a religious indoctrination.


I follow the apostolic tradition of being centered both on the word AND the Spirit.

The humanistic traditions are seen in the over-simplification of doctrines that cater to the flesh. Making it an "us-and-them" when no such distinction is required. This human tradition champions a religious bigotry that gives God a bad name.

One people are indoctrinated into believing that they are righteous and everyone else isn't...a Pharisaical practice takes place...that is very hard to undo.

I suggest going to the cross.
Epi you are guilty of what you are trying to accuse me of .
Others can see this too .

You are doing the accusing...I am correcting you. My discernment is correct...you are following the traditions of men...so you will have more people agreeing with you.

Think about that for a while.

How many people stood against Jesus when He was condemned? How many stood with Him? Do you think the majority is always right?

Try to think this out... Pray about it.

sincere christains dont mock GOD and the gospel which saves jim . They dont go with the lie
that muslims and other religoins are serving the same GOD we do .
They dont TROD the dire necessity of Christ under foot .
The muslims preach a false jesus . Figure it out . THEY dont no GOD anymore
than even the JEWS who rejected the true CHRIST DO or did .
ANYONE can make the claim they follow TORAH and the prophets JIM .
BUT had they truly followed IT , they would have BELIEVED IN CHRIST . Social gospel IS A LIE
a lie sold and spun with some good works , BUT A LIE INDEED .
The true church , corrects error and sin JIM . But to you , to warn against certain sins is seen as EVIL .
You throw the mud of confusion as do others . TO correct sin and error and those who teach such , AINT EVIL
nor is it accusing the brethren .
BUT i can prove you DO accuse the brethren . LOOK at all the warnings PAUL , peter and others who were BRETHREN gave .
And yet when i bring those same reminders , YOU ACCUSE ME .
Guess what jim , you aint really accusing me , BUT THE DOCTRINE . And if you accuse the doctrine GOD inspired
HIS CHRIST inspired , and later the apostles inspired by GOD left us , GUESS WHO YOU are the accuser of ............
MIGHT wanna ponder on that the next time some progressive lips more lies to you . HEED not the progressives
for their doctrine cannot save but will only grave .

Over simplification . another big progressive word . WHY dont you just be honest
and say folks like me are guilty of simply believing the simple truth and we dont try and interpret it to mean
what we WANT IT TO MEAN . Over simplification .
Hey epi if you are ever in the desert and find a pool of clear water , please drink from it .
OH WAIT , i might be OVER SIMPLIFYING IT . I guess to you
if one says to drink a from that pool , IT MIGHT MEAN , OH PASS BY IT , ANOTHER POOL IS COMING .
That i didnt really mean to drink from IT . Thats you epi . YOU take the simple truths
and then try and make them into something they dont mean , OR you omit the simple truth and try and make it seem
like it meant something else . SO MUCH FOR OVER SIMPLIFYING . YOU SHOULD HAVE SIMPLY realized
IT MEANT what it said and simply DONE IT . THATS the problem with progressives
IF THEY DONT LIKE what something says , THEY TRY AND MAKE IT MEAN SOMETHING ELSE . YOU FAIL EPI . YOU FAIL .

The Jews missed Jesus and His message. But so do many believers in Jesus. What they have in common is the WAY they believe things....no faith is involved...just religious dogmatism. Naming and claiming.

The Jews are more advanced than most believers in that they leave room for people that do not follow their tradition to be seen as righteous.

The Jews believe that people of the nations can be righteous before God. They see themselves as a holy nation...meant to rule over the nations.

If only Christianity was as aware of eternal things as the Jews. So we have gone downhill from the Jewish faith. Salvation is of the Jews. For modern believers...there is a need to see that we have gone astray from our calling...the high calling in Christ....and we are taking away from a basic understanding of the bible? Why? To justify ourselves.

If we want to surpass the Jews...we need to stop taking away righteousness from the righteous and stop elevating ourselves because of our beliefs.

YEAH they DID MISS the message . TO BELIEVE ON HIM . And they aint alone either epi .
Many today preach a CHRISTLESS CROSS ,
they teach some of the good he taught to do . WELL SO Did the religous jews teach to do some good .
BUT THEY DONT BELIEVE OR THINK ITS NECESSARY TO BELEIVE ON CHRIST JESUS .
KNOW ANYONE LIKE THAT EPI . cause i sure do . ITS YOU . you overlook the dire necessity to HAVE TO EVEN BELEIVE ON HIM
and try and preach SOME OF THE THINGS HE TAUGHT . IT AINT GONNA WORK OUT EPI .
ANYONE can teach a form of religoin , YET DENY THE POWER THEREOF .
MANY have and can have a form of godliness and YET DENY THE POWER THEREOF EPI .
SO HERE IS THE POWER OF GOD .
TRY PREACHING THAT and THEN teach others HIS REMINDERS .
HERES THE POWER YOU OMIT . FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION . JESUS CHRIST .
ONLY YE WONT PREACH TO BELIEVE ON HIM . YOU preach at most a form of godliness , YET DENY THE ONLY NAME
WHEREBY ONE MAY BE SAVED . ITS LIKE putting the horse IN THE CART and then trying to PULL THE CART epi .
IT WONT WORK . You preach a lie my friend . A humanstic view of GOD , which aint GOD .
TIME to stop believing that other religoins can attain salvation . THEY CANT .
ALL must repent and BELIEVE ON JESUS . THEN THE REST WILL SURELY COME .
Epi , your cross you preach holds budda , muhammed and all other paths ON IT .
PROBLEM IS , ITS JESUS ALONE that must be preached . THE DIRE NEED to BELIEVE ON HIM
MUST BE THE FIRST THING TAUGHT . WITHOUT that , ITS ALL VAIN . LEARN YE THAT .

If you weren't so self-absorbed...interested in religious posturing...virtue signalling, and prone to every other filthy flesh motivation...you might learn something here.

I refuse to learn from those who cannot even see the true gospel , the dire necessity to have to believe ON CHRIST .
EPI , even the most basic new born lambs WOULD KNOW THAT SIMPLE TRUTH .
WHY would i ever entertain your view on the cross , WHEN YOUR VIEW omits the DIRE NEED TO BELEIVE ON HE WHO WAS
CRUCIFIED ON IT .
IT you cant see that simple truth , THERE aint much i can do for you . The blind , no matter how well they speak grammer
no matter how well they can speak on things , WELL they cant lead anyone , or the blind , let alone even themselves .
TIME TO PREACH YE MUST BELIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST . THEN teach the things HE TAUGHT .

Jim sure can bring emojis .
And jim sure can correct english .
But ol jim lacks one thing . HE SURE cant seem to BRING DOCTRINE TO CORRECT .
I think by now that Jim realizes (as many of us do) that you are immune from any correction and any teaching that comes from sound doctrine. The only thing left is to realize how self-deluded you are...and either laugh or cry. I have you on ignore...but I will check out the crows from time to time. You never know when a little truth can sink into the massive amounts of quivering flesh...flesh that is seen as something that God desires.

And learning English would not be a bad thing for you on an English forum.

One more thing for your already over-taxed mind to consider. :rolleyes:

SELF deluded . I aint the one pointing to our own ability to pick up the cross . I am pointing to the dire necessity
TO BELIEVE ON HE , JESUS CHRIST , who was crucified on the cross . Your buddists , atheist and muslims and all
who believe NOT ON CHRIST , wont be picking up their cross . You cant teach one who believes not in CHRIST
to pick up their cross . GOTTA Tell the lost , BELIEVE YE IN CHRIST , SO THEY CAN PICK UP THE CROSS .
All you teach is another offshoot of how to attain this or that . AS FOR ME , ME IS GONNA PREACH
JESUS CHRIST whereby ONE CAN ATTAIN . exactly epi . LEARN THAT ONE .

You understand neither righteousness nor holiness...but make a mockery of both. Why? To justify yourself.

You are back on ignore in any case...

One thing that I don't lack, unlike yourself, is the ability to communicate in reasonably correct English. How can you possibly believe that anyone will accept your rant-filled posts when you won't even take the time or effort to communicate in understandable English?

BTW, my doctrine is correct. It starts with the fundamental command, expressed in both Testaments, to love your neighbor as yourself. It's clear from your multiple, critical, self-justifying posts, that you haven't even learned that fundamental doctrine. Like a Pharisee, you are filled with self-righteousness, but you have missed the true basis of Christianity.

Everybody interprets the bible. Most people follow human traditions and put their trust in men. Some (a few) go to God and are shown the way. But these will sound a lot like the ones who are mere religious speculators.

But everybody interprets...most incorrectly and a few correctly.
And you would be included in the most group as well .

How would you know if he is not correct ? What’s your criteria to judge ?
