This is a mystery to me among those who claim to follow Christ. What it means to me is that there is NO real faith...just human religious beliefs. When faith is required a rebellious streak comes out revealing that the same part of them believes as did the Pharisees who trusted they were true followers of Moses. But Jesus said...Moses will condemn you. And likewise the Lord will rise up to condemn those who abuse His words to justify themselves and condemn the truth.
No real faith


yet you do not go to church, your followers do not go to church. You do not walk in the spirit. Nor do they.

Who is lacking faith here?? We are not trusting self. Like you and your followers are. We trust God

Lol.. Your defending him.. what else would he be?

Since no one else believes as he does by his own account He must be a leader and yoru a follower

do you go to church?

do you believe a Muslim, if they do good deeds, can be ressurected?

do you walk in the spirit?
I’m not following any man, Jesus triumphant over strongholds. He pulled them all down

No.

the cross does not signify anything, It accomplished something

Jesus said it is finished.

You fail to see what IT was.

You did not answer..

do you believe a Muslim can be ressurected if they are good.

Do you go to church, if so which one?

who in the last 2000 years believes as you dO

Colossians 2:14-18 KJV
[14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; [15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days : [17] Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. [18] Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

do you believe a Muslim can be ressurected if they are good.
Don’t you have too be dead in order to be resurrected, and how can one be good if dead?
Do you go to church, if so which one?
Your idea of church and mine are totally different, and that’s okay with me.
who in the last 2000 years believes as you dO
I don’t know, maybe those who have been freed from religious strongholds?

who will be ressurected? Not everyone will be ressurected. The Bible is clear.

My idea od church is the one found in scripture.
I don’t know, maybe those who have been freed from religious strongholds?
hence why I say you follow a cult.. a made up religion that no one else has ever heard of..

Gods church was not silent for 2000 years..

What were these handwritten ordinances that were against us and contrary to us that was nailed to the cross.

can you answer?
I’m not certain as it doesn’t pertain to me.. I believe the us is in reference to the people he was addressing.

And it ok if you have a problem with my assessment. As I’ve said if you believe there were some handwritten ordinances or law’s written against you then okay,,,, go with that. Don’t rope me in too it.

Okay, you have an idea.

I don’t follow men either. But I do not make stuff up that no on in the last 2000 years has ever taught or believed. God‘s church was not that dead for 2000 years.

You have not been reading epi’s posts where he said even a Muslim who does good can be ressurected to life?

You have not read his post where he admits no one for the last 2000 years believes as he does?

come on man.. get real..
Get real is right! Such a liar... everything you stand for is a lie...so why not extend that to whoever exposes you?

Many believe as I do. The church I belong to has many millions of members around the world and dates back to Pentecost!

Away with your lies.
