2 Corinthians 5:18-20 (NASB) 18Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
So now we've come full circle... A rhetoric aside, I could be polemical about this new 'repentence" that I see being talked about, but I don't see any of it. What I see is a lot of complaining and pointing fingers, but who out there knows what it even means to "repent"?
Telling people they should stop sinning has the appearance of wisdom, but has done nothing in 2000 years to curb wickedness. This what habitual bad preaching of the law does.
walther - repent - to be remorseful for our transgressions and to stop doing them - even doing a 180 in our behavior... Im not sure what point you're trying to make - but I agree - telling people to stop sin without any accountability or leadership to back it up has done nothing to curb wickedness,
Where do you see habitual bad preaching of the law - btw?
2 Tim 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Stopped by just to see if the opening was like it's been the past couple of times I've clicked on a vid. I had something I thought was cool I would say if it was. Anyway, I ended up listening instead. I still don't watch too much because I can hear better without. There's just too much to talk about in what you said. It was basically good. Maybe it was very good, but I only came to say that about the spirit shattering intro noises missing.
COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM...then God will confirm our message when we are CONSECRATED! Just like our brothers the apostles. Forsake ALL...Matthew 10 and Luke 14....in the last days they WILL heap apon themselves teachers hearing what their EARS WANT TO HEAR....a form of godliness YET DENYING HIS POWER!
Let us review again the "game": You acknowledge that the "clergyman" is indeed the special representative of God, and lend some degree of support to his program. He assures you that you are indeed a "good Christian" and that heaven awaits you in the end. He doesn't ask you too many questions, and you don't ask him too many questions: because neither of you really wants to know.
If you are troubled or threatened by something you read in the Bible, you can always go to him: he is quick to "explain it" so that it does not contradict anything that HE is saying or doing; and usually, he "explains it" so that you end up OWING HIM even more of your TIME and MONEY than you are already giving! If you turn against him, he will either set the Mob against you, or abruptly show you the Exit!
but anybody bringing it into the Holy of Holies is smitten dead...by God.
You are just getting a sniff of that burning dead flesh now...it's why you stuggle w/ movig on... wait a bit and you will be able to see blood flow as deep as a horses bridle...stay at rest in Him while you come out of her for it is time to flee.
Very good word brother! One day at church, there was this lady and she wouldnt stop screaming but you could tell it was fake. Anyhow, she was jumping and stuff, and I knew it was fake because when you have experienced God's power you know how to tell. Anyhow, the pastor makes a call for healing, she goes up front and then starts screaming I am healed, my back was hurting and now I am healed.. everyone started clapping, screaming and stuff... I was like, huh? false fire indeed
Why does God love us "just the way we are"? -Because God doesn't love us because of something in us, but BECAUSE OF THE LOVE IN HIMSELF! You might have heard sometime in your life: "God IS love." That's the whole reason why God's love is UNCONDITIONAL.
Christ is coming soon, and the kingdom of heaven follows him, be prepared, repent of your sins, don't follow all this mess we have set up, holidays and idols.. Concentrate and read the word, for it is the truth.. If you don't know the word, how can you say you love the word.. If you don't love the word, God is going to send you a strong delusion, that you would believe a lie.. that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness..
You know what, when Christ comes back many "christians" are going to call him a legalist, but guess what his response is going to be: depart from me, ye that work iniquity!
What is iniquity? - From StrngsConcordance:
Iniquity:
the condition of without law a) because ignorant of it b) because of violating it
contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

Good word Chris, this is an attitude we should all take on board. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith...
I hear the resounding cry of... legalist!
However I would challenge these accusers to point to true revival without repentence.
God requires submission.
