How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

[VictoryinJesus]

“I mean repairing the breach just isn't the lesson that it is illustrating.”
Reconciling is every thing.

For example:
The Pharisees said, looking around with a sneer, “This devil, just condemned us.”
Jesus Christ said “I come not to condemn but to save.”

Exploring further, the rebuilding of the old wasted places.

The Pharisees said “did you hear this devil slanderer, he said he will tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days.”
But did Christ say He would tear it down…or that He would rebuild what they tore down and destroyed. What they had wasted. so how can His parables not tell of restoration and rebuilding what they (or we)destroyed.

What would religion do?

Also says there are those that prevent from entering in those that would

Yes, but don't forget there is also an entering in that is not by the one who is the gate.

David's tabernacle I believe, but you are going on to broader things that Jesus is not addressing in that particular story about lazarus and the rich man.

I don’t think warning is a dirty word. I used the quotes instead to validate the warning or accentuate it. I guess I should have boldened it instead. The warning to me though is the parable is not to boast our rightness and the “good” side but the warning is to tear down boasting in-between. The rich man begs for a drop of water to quench his thirst. We quote it. Jesus Christs’ own words with men it impossible for a rich man to enter in but with God nothing is impossible. We can say the point is the rich man can’t enter. Or that with God all things are possible. The parable about the foolish and the wise. Also a warning in my opinion. The wise say “nay. There is not enough for me and you.” Christ says “wake up you who sleep. I will give you Light.” No boasting in it. Every one and any one who asks for light…never does he say “Nay, there is not enough for me and you.”
Isaiah 58:12 And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you (Christ) shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Why is it hard (not impossible) for a rich man to enter?

religion looks to God and says look at me God. See what I did for you. I deserve to be in heaven, because I do this, or I do that. Or have have done all these things, in your name

Jesus was also speaking of his death, the temple was his body.. as he would be ressurected in 3 days

 

[amigo de christo]

correct about what exactly ?

Even the false budda had some things right , even the false muhammed had some things right
even the false RCC had some things right , even the false hindu had some things right
even the false atheist has some things right
And since this generation seems so focused on finding common ground
HOWS this for COMMON GROUND . the one thing that all false religoins and mindsets have in common is
THEY FALSE .
JESUS ALONE . I SHALL PREACH HIM no matter the cost . No matter the cost . EPI preaches
his ever growing religoin that has united all false religoins and mindsets under it .
AS FOR ME , This gringo is preaching JESUS till my final breath . AND if our jesus dont agree with or contradicts
the biblical one , ITS SHUNNED FOR LIFE . That is how determined i am .

 

[amigo de christo]

Hod did Jesus save?

How .

 

[amigo de christo]

Notice she said lambs .
Now for the credit check .
all other religoins and mindsets are DISQUALIFIED .
Faith IN JESUS CHRIST saves , all else leads to graves .

 

[amigo de christo]

Praise the Lord. My mum is with the LORD. One day very soon, the remaining lambs on earth will also be with the LORD.

Thats right my dear sister .

 

[amigo de christo]

Lambs alone

 

[amigo de christo]

Yes, but don't forget there is also an entering in that is not by the one who is the gate.

And it wont bode well for those . JESUS ALONE .

anything to try and sway our minds away from FAITH IN CHRIST . they will do anything .
But as for the lambs , WE gonna POINT to CHRIST ALONE . no other mindset , no other hope , no other
religoin , no other anything will save one . That is how FULLY persauded i am that ONE MUST believe in CHRIST
have their faith IN HE ALONE .
On the DAY of the LORD , do you think that one mindset i had about HE ALONE is gonna anger him . Exactly . POINT TO JESUS .

 

[amigo de christo]

How are we reconciled to God?

According to many its by the social gospel of our own merits .
But as for the lambs of CHRIST , WE DONE KNELT BEFORE and FULLY ACCEPTED the ONLY NAME
whereby ONE can be reconciled to GOD . JESUS CHRIST . That is how fully persauded i am
in HE ALONE . Now i ask you the same question i asked our dear sister .
DO you THINK JESUS , GOD , is gonna be angry at me on HIS DAY , for POINTING TO HE WHOM GOD DID SEND
as the ONLY way to be saved . exactly . POINT TO JESUS till the last breath . the last and the final breath .

 

[amigo de christo]

Yes, but don't forget there is also an entering in that is not by the one who is the gate.

The one who had no wedding garments on . Yeah , it didnt seem to bode too well for that one .
But as for the lambs , WE GONNA SING , PRAISE and POINT TO CHRIST ALONE .

 

[amigo de christo]

How are we reconciled to God?

It aint through budda and good works
or any other false religion or mindset .
THROUGH CHRIST ALONE . BELEIVE YE in HE whom GOD did send . JESUS CHRIST .
That is my story and its my song .
THERE simply is no other hope for me . NOR FOR THE WORLD .

 

[amigo de christo]

I would have thought by now @Jim B would have opened your eyes?

How can the blind lead my friend . Even if i were blind , another blind one cannot lead me in the RIGHT WAY
only to the ditch .
