26 But you don’t believe me because you are not my sheep. John 10:26 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 33 They replied, “We’re STONING you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, CLAIM to be God.” John 10:33 34 Jesus replied, “It is written in your own Scriptures that God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!’ John 10:34 37 Don’t believe me unless I carry out my Father’s work. John 10:37 39 Once again they tried to arrest him, but he got away and LEFT them. John 10:39 |
John 6:66-68 KJV From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. [67] Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? [68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. |
John 10:30-31 KJV I and my Father are ONE. [31] Then the Jews took up stones again to STONE him. |
Janosky:Okay friend, goodbye. |
Mark 4:19 KJV And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. |
Janosky:Okay friend, this is not for argument, but for you OR others who care; Listen to the Words of Jesus Himself: John 10:30 KJV I and my Father are ONE. Matthew 22:42-43 KJV Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. [43] He saith unto them, How then doth David in Spirit CALL him Lord, saying, Matthew 28:19 KJV Go ye therefore, and teach ALL nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father (1), and of the Son (2), and of the Holy Ghost (3): However, if you still don't agree, again okay, no problem. I don't justify myself. Thanks, Goodbye. |
Dtruthspeaker:Yes, cos we need to deal with the root first, not the branches or fruits. Thanks. |
Psalm 62:10 KJV Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. Psalm 37:16 KJV A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. |
eplanning:Friend, the question is, do we want to argue or learn? I've got no time for argumentative people, I just ignore... Please, read patiently: it's free. I quoted several verses to help people understand easily. Summary: Jesus has fulfil/ended (fulfil here means TO END) the LAW of Moses (flesh). We are now to live according to the Law of the Spirit (Christ), which is LOVE: 1. Love God with your entire life. 2. Love your neighbour as yourself. Jesus said, whoever does that fulfils the Whole Law. Matthew 22:37-40 KJV Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On THESE TWO commandments hang ALL the LAW and the prophets. Please see the original post again, IF you don't mind. May Jesus Bless You. |
Dtruthspeaker:Jesus said blind leaders ("spiritually blind" ) would lead their followers into the ditch (Hell). Friend, I've answered you already on the other thread. Matthew 15:14 KJV Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Finally, if you still disagree after all that, no problem. Thanks, Good bye. |
Dtruthspeaker:Friend, did you even read through my posts OR you just glanced through? Or you don't believe the Bible (especially the new testament)? Or you're looking for someone that supports your Religion/Church/Pastor? If you're not willing to humble yourself and patiently read, it means you're not HUNGRY but just seeking to disturb others. The word of God is meant for the Hungry: POOR in Spirit. Matt 5:3-10 A person that's not Hungry can wait. However, I'm not trying to establish an argument or a debate with you; I'm not here to justify myself or ANY Pastor/Church, but to glorify Jesus. Please reread them, if you don't mind. May Jesus Give You Light. |
Spiritual blindness is very dangerous for us; may we get light in everything: If we would seek to follow Jesus for real, we must surely expect oppositions, rejections, insults and the likes from unbelievers and even so-called "believers". I think it's high time we started judging ourselves instead of using our magnifying glasses to judge others. These attitudes of Judging others have blinded us so much that even things that are clearly or BOLDLY written in scripture become a mirage. People that do not want or believe in the Truth (Jesus) will always be ANGRY, and even try hard to KILL the Truth: John 5:16-18 NLT 16 So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for BREAKING the Sabbath rules. 17 But Jesus replied, “My Father is ALWAYS working, and so am I.” 18 So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way TO KILL HIM. For he not only BROKE the Sabbath, he CALLED God his Father, thereby making himself EQUAL with God. Jesus is God (Second Person), and has "fulfilled/ended" the LAW so that True Worshipers would Worship in Truth and in Spirit (in Faith and Obedience). John 4:24 KJV God is a Spirit: and they that Worship him must Worship him in spirit and in Truth. May we get light and not try to know better than Jesus and the Holy Spirit. |

sonmvayina:Oh, I'm sorry to have bothered you, I thought you believed in Jesus; I no longer have businesses with the movie industry either. Anyway, Good bye. |
sonmvayina:Brother, I know it's difficult to accept it, but it's definitely true. I don't argue nor try to by any means convince anyone, but I would encourage you to reread the post a bit more patiently; OR at least go through the Bible verses I quoted, "IF you don't mind." I got convinced through the Word and Holy Spirit, I believe that's the will of God, so most times (if not ALWAYS) I usually back up my posts with scriptures. However friend, if you still disagree after all that; okay, no problem. I don't justify myself either. Thanks, May Jesus Bless You. |
Matthew 7:20 KJV Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 24:5 KJV For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. |
Matthew 7:20 KJV Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. |
"But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!" - Matthew 5:20 NLT |
Kobojunkie:Okay, your opinion. I tried to balance my own opinion from my first line with the entire part altogether. Always welcome to be disagreed with as much as I might strongly disagree with others too. Please, chew this over, IF you don't mind: James 1:26-27 KJV If any man among you seem to be "religious", and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's "religion" is vain. [27] Pure "religion" and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Romans 8:6 KJV For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. May Jesus Bless You. Good bye. |
They're literally THE SAME, but in a sense: Being Religious = Old covenant life/Living under the Law (either by Moses, Pastors or other Men). Being Spiritual = Living by faith in Obedience to Jesus/Under grace in Christ. Summary: Religious = Law/OLD covenant/External Spiritual = Love/faith/Obedience to Jesus/INTERNAL first, then external (New covenant) Examples: Pharisees and Religious doctors/teachers = Religious Spiritual = Jesus (and his followers like Paul, etc) 2 Corinthians 3:6 KJV Who also hath made us able ministers of the NEW testament; NOT of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter Killeth, but the spirit giveth li LIFE. May Jesus Bless You. |
The whole earth got into all sorts of troubles: sicknesses and all physical and spiritual calamities because of one man's disobedience. However, thank God for the hope of salvation in Christ, IF we choose to Repent and do God's will for the rest of our lives. Romans 5:19 KJV For as by ONE man's "disobedience" many were made SINNERS, so by the "obedience" of ONE shall many be made RIGHTEOUS. Romans 5:12 KJV Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death PASSED upon all men, for that all have sinned: James 2:11 KJV For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 1 Timothy 2:4-5 KJV Who will have ALL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the TRUTH. [5] For there is ONE God, and ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; May Jesus Bless You. |
Galatians 6:9 KJV And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, IF WE FAINT NOT. |
Matthew 19:21 KJV Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. |
Eulalia:No, whoever does commits adultery. (See Matthew 19:3-11) May Jesus Bless You. |
Matthew 5:16-17 KJV Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. |
15 They have wandered off the right road and followed the footsteps of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong. 2 Peter 2:15 NLT |
2 Peter 2:21-22 KJV For it had been BETTER for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it , to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. [22] But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit AGAIN; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. |
True followers of Jesus should always stay with Jesus "anywhere" he stays or wants them to stay: they shouldn't be Inside when they ought to be Outside, nor Outside instead of being Inside. Lots of Religious Organization/Denominations and Churches have SHUT OUT Jesus and His Words, because of the LOVE of the World: Money and Popularity with People. They preach interesting STORIES/TESTIMONIES because they understand the Law of DEMAND and Supply: people want to hear Stories, Testimonies and Interesting Religious Lies. They wouldn't like to HURT people by telling them the TRUTH: to Repent of Sins; to LOVE and OBEY Jesus from the HEART; to die to Self; to take up the Cross and follow Jesus DAILY. Question: If Jesus is still at the DOORS of the vast majority of these Religious Organizations/Churches KNOCKING, then as true believers, what's our Business inside? John 12:26 NLT 26 Anyone who WANTS to serve me MUST follow me, because my servants MUST BE WHERE I AM. And the Father WILL HONOR anyone who SERVES me. Revelation 3:20 KJV Behold, I STAND at the DOOR, and KNOCK: if ANY man hear my voice, and OPEN the door, I will COME in to him, and will sup with him, and he WITH Me. Luke 9:23 KJV And he said to them all, IF any man will come after me, let him DENY himself, and TAKE UP his Cross DAILY, and FOLLOW Me. John 14:15 KJV IF ye "love" me, KEEP my commandments. May Jesus Bless You. |
1 Corinthians 9:27 KJV But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have PREACHED to others, I myself should be a CASTAWAY. 2 Peter 2:15 KJV Which have FORSAKEN the right way, and are gone ASTRAY, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who LOVED the wages of unrighteousness; |
Mark 13:5-6 KJV And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: [6] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and shall deceive many. |
While it's true that NO ONE can pluck a Believer away from God according to John 10:28, yet WE OURSELVES CAN CHOOSE TO WALK AWAY or Stop Obeying/Abiding in Jesus, and still end up in Hell. Moreover, Jesus won't get anybody by the scruff of the NECK and say, "Hey, Common On! Don't go to Hell!" No, he won't. God won't overrule our FREE WILL, otherwise we'll become something like Programmed ROBOTS. We must seek to be balanced to avoid false teachings. Please, see some (if not ALL) of these Bible verses down below, "IF" you don't mind: Matthew 19:22 KJV But when the young man heard that saying, he WENT AWAY sorrowful: for he had GREAT "possessions". Matthew 8:21-22 KJV And another of his "disciples" said unto him, Lord, suffer me FIRST to go and bury my father. [22] But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their DEAD. John 15:6 KJV If a man ABIDE NOT in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them INTO THE FIRE, and they are BURNED. Matthew 7:19-20 KJV Every TREE that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast INTO THE FIRE. Luke 8:13 KJV They on the rock are they , which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have NO ROOT which for a while believe, and in time of temptation FALL AWAY. 1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he FALL. Hebrews 6:6 KJV If they shall FALL AWAY, to "renew" them again unto "repentance"; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an OPEN shame. Luke 9:62 KJV And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to THE plough, and LOOKING BACK, is fit FOR the kingdom of God. Jude 1:23 KJV And others save with FEAR, pulling them out of the FIRE; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Romans 8:13 KJV For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall DIE: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall LIVE. 1 Peter 4:18 KJV And if THE RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY be saved, WHERE shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Luke 13:24 KJV Strive to ENTER IN at the strait gate: FOR MANY, I say unto you, WILL SEEK to enter in, and SHALL NOT be able. Matthew 11:12 KJV And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth VIOLENCE and the VIOLENT take it BY FORCE. Hebrews 12:17 KJV For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found NO PLACE of REPENTANCE, though he sought it "carefully" WITH TEARS. Hebrews 10:38-39 KJV Now the just shall live by faith: BUT IF any man DRAW BACK, my soul shall have NO PLEASURE in him. [39] But we are NOT of them who DRAW BACK unto PERDITION; but of them that believe ON the saving of the soul. LASTLY: John 6:66-67 KJV From that time MANY of his disciples WENT AWAY, and walked NO MORE with Him. [67] Then said Jesus unto the TWELVE, Will ye also GO AWAY? We need to understand this properly so as not lead ourselves and others ASTRAY. May Jesus Bless You. |
jiggaz:Hmm. Sorry, I'm not trying to argue but this post is dangerously misleading. I got attracted by the topic at first, but later things began to go wrong: If this was true, why would the Father send Jesus as a sacrifice for sins in the first place. We need to understand this properly so as not lead ourselves and others astray. Please see some (if not ALL) of these, "IF" you don't mind: Luke 8:13 KJV They on the rock are they , which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have NO ROOT which for a while believe, and in time of temptation FALL AWAY. 1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he FALL. Hebrews 6:6 KJV If they shall FALL AWAY, to "renew" them again unto "repentance"; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Luke 9:62 KJV And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to THE plough, and LOOKING BACK, is fit FOR the kingdom of God. Jude 1:23 KJV And others save with FEAR, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Romans 8:13 KJV For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 1 Peter 4:18 KJV And if THE RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Luke 13:24 KJV Strive to enter in at the strait gate: FOR MANY, I say unto you, WILL SEEK to enter in, and shall NOT be able. Matthew 11:12 KJV And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth VIOLENCE and the violent take it BY FORCE. Hebrews 12:17 KJV For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of REPENTANCE, though he sought it carefully WITH TEARS. Hebrews 10:38-39 KJV Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man DRAW BACK, my soul shall have NO PLEASURE in him. [39] But we are NOT of them who DRAW BACK unto PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. John 15:6 KJV If a man ABIDE NOT in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them INTO THE FIRE, and they are BURNED. Matthew 7:19-20 KJV Every TREE that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast INTO THE FIRE. ***While it's true that NO ONE can pluck the Believer away from God, yet WE OURSELVES can WALK AWAY or Stop Obeying/Abiding in Jesus. We must be balance to avoid darkness.*** Nevertheless, if you or anyone still disagrees, OK then. I don't justify myself. But I hope at least few people will see through. Thanks... May Jesus Bless You. |
