    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    What do you want for yourself brother? Made in the image and likeness of God (with us). How do we follow Jesus when we act like the devil as we defend what we believe we know of the teachings of Jesus? :shrug Be kind. :hug Jesus didn't call Satan names when they met in the desert. Why would...

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    I do agree. That's one way of looking at it. :) The other is as I intended. That which follows Christ and yet in certain matters affords the testimony of one who reads God as, "do as I say", but then does not do as is taught. Yes. It was from whence He delivered the new ministry, the new...

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    If we recall Jesus teachings we learn very quickly that he contradicted the doctrinal posture that the temple elders presumed to enforce in the name of doctrine. He and his disciples for example worked on the Sabbath. Jesus healed on the Sabbath. In matters of justice, just to name a couple of...

    Excellent. Thank you. :) I do want to respond to your post. And I will do that and also respond to Jim's as soon as I return from dinner. Till then, :hug:hug to you both.

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    In brief, I was saying that JLB's belief that we are not secure in the grace of our Father is not something he can append to the teachings of Christ.

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    I understand. However, if it is for that purpose of self reflection and self-deprecation....Continues below your other remark quoted below. ....wouldn't that make your remarks to Chessman impossible ? Post #120 I believe. Even with your remarks quoted in this reply^ Find peace in ourselves...

    I hoped to respond to your post but the quote box included all of our exchanges together.

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    Before I address your observations I feel compelled to ask why should I accept your teachings when you sign them with the Yiddish word that means, crazy? Iakov the crazy? That's a bit harsh and impatient of you isn't it? Someone explained to you they would respond but your wording makes a...

    Bible Study Man Shall Not Live on the New Testament Alone

    I think the spirit of The Word can sometimes become lost by those who read the words on the page. God eternally speaks to his creation. As an aside and to relate to the theme of this discussion, I think this may be a blessing to some. It is a long article and yet that is understandable being it...

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    I wouldn't agree that everyone knows about the two great commands. Not even among the universal body of our Lord is this demonstrated. Christian community discussion sites give proof of that often enough isn't it? As you made mention you know the reason for my signature would recall. Yes...

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    If you remember? In the new covenant testimony we're told God put his laws inside us so that they would never be set apart from our knowing them. Do I have to be told so as to have it written in stone that I should not murder someone? Steal from someone? For those who don't know these things...

    Now on DVD , The Shack , the best movie I have ever seen

    Outstanding message! Hollywood so often corrupts Biblical scriptures and stories. This however was the beatiful exception. I LOVE this movie. And while I didn't see it in theater, I doubt there was a dry eye in the house during many parts of this film. Especially near the end. A perfect cast...

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    God doesn't want slaves. The journey of Moses tells us that. God was before Doctrine came to be. That's not my responsibility. It is theirs. Because that's how they think.

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    Last night there appeared to be a bug in the server here as it would deliver return messages when I tried to post in the Mayweather/McGregor thread that my post was too long. I think maybe this bug is extending further as your comments arrived to post in the wrong thread, and quoted the wrong...

    McGregor vs. Mayweather PPV fight tonight _ Anyone watching?

    A matter of perspective. I don't think Mayweather's face and jaw believe it was easy work. Conor McGregor went 10 rounds with a 49 fight unbeaten former champ. There was nothing easy about reaching 50 in Las Vegas Nevada. They're both champions. And they proved it last night.

    Growth The Kindom of God: Why

    I would say that in Genesis, the beginning of ourselves, when God breathed into the Adam and he became a living soul, that that happening when God made us in the holy spirits image and likeness, made it so that we are never separated from God. The path to Christ as I have lived it is to find...

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    No, we, the whole of Christians in community, must not understand and believe what you understand and believe. That is your faith system. That is not what Jesus died to deliver as his eternal message. The false teaching warning is apt in consideration of that.

    What does it mean to perish (apóllymi)?

    Jesus saves not doctrine? Isn't it doctrine that is the launching point for those arguing if we don't follow doctrine we can lose our salvation? God saves through his grace. Having faith in Jesus brings us into the grace God created for those whom he called to find.

    Growth The Kindom of God: Why

    I'm not into eastern mysticism however, when God is omni-present and the source for everything that is, how can he not be in those whom he created in the beginning from his own spirit, that gave us our soul, and in his image?
