There has been some misunderstanding. I have not come to convince any of theological error, but to witness to the coldness of dead religion. What have you done to Grace? It looks like a specimen, a thing of beauty that once fluttered before you, a thing you captured and pinned on a board, then you attached a label and came to argue over it. Faith is not seen in confusion or in arguments designed to promote the man speaking religious words.
No one with faith asks "What is faith"?
The question doesn't occur. They look for fruit, not definitions. I am here to witness the truth of scripture where it says: Hearing they will keep on listening but do not percieve, keep on looking but do not understand. Render the hearts of this people insensitive their ears dull and their eyes dim otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and return and be healed. Also, where it says: Men are without excuse. You do not believe your own doctrine, if you did you would not demand others keep the Law of Moses, or the 'commandments' of Calvin or Luther, nor demand your 'rights' in your nation by them. For how can the un-elect who are in darkness understand these things? Instead you would be grateful and content and live in peace with your neighbour. |

"I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."These (above) were telling the people of Israel they had faith and truth.
Jesus showed them up to be liars. Matt: 9:2 SEEING their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven." Luke 5:20 SEEING their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."
Luke 7:50 And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." Luke 17:1-10 If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, `Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you. Why did Jesus not just give the disciples 'faith' so that he didn't have to rebuke them for lack of it? |

You are a very confused person Lurker.
Hbr 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Assurance is another way of saying 'the substance of things hoped for' The EVIDENCE of things NOT seen.
We are assured of what you can't see, as if we see them already. Do you see the Kingdom of Heaven? Yet we are certain the Kingdom is coming. Do you see the Word of God destroying every pretension that has set itself up against Him? Yet we wait, ready to witness these things when they come about as if they are already a reality. Yet you shout and scream about your rights as if they are disappearing - do you not just expose yourselves as a faithless generation? Isaiah 29:20,21 For The Terrible one is brought to nothing, the scornful one is consummed, and all who watch for iniquity are cut off - who make a man an offender by a word, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just by empty words. |

In whom my soul delights.What is the purpose of this discussion?
Are you not all experts in allegory?
You do insist on choosing the most succulent of morsels for yourselves.
Do you not just sew seams where their were none? Causing division with your endless strife over matters that are none of your business? And when exposed you turn to jest which quickly becomes scorn, devising anothers humiliation by decietful communications. Why do the elect discuss their own election so rigourously? Isn't it to prove to yourselves that you are saved? Or is it to prove others aren't? Whereas scripture says faith assures. And God elects. Have you not read where God chooses the foolish things to shame the wise and the weak to shame the mighty? Was Timothy of the elect? Here is a letter to HIM. Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to PRESENT YOURSELVES approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But you do not see the ruined do you? ... read on .. and they overthrow the faith of some. |

Pause and wonder!
Blind yourselves and be blind!
They are drunk, but not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.
For the Lord has poured out on you The spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, namely the prophets, And has covered your heads, the seers. The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book sealed which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I am not literate." Therefore the Lord said; "In as much as these people draw near with their mouths and honour me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward me is taught by the commandment of men, therefore, behold, I will again do a marvellous work among this people, a marvellous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden." WOE to those who seek DEEP to hide their counsel far from the Lord, and their works are in the DARK; they say, "Who see's us?" and "Who knows us?" Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; for shall the thing made say of Him who made it,"He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of Him who formed it, "He has no understanding"? |

Consider mercy. A woman comes out of the wilderness asking for a cup of water. Does she say, "the man who is merciful is the one who gave me the correct biblical definition of mercy"? Or does she say "the man who is merciful is the one who gave me a glass of water"?
So it is with faith. Dear Ephesus, These things says He who holds the seven stars in his RIGHT HAND, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands. I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you can not bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have laboured for my names sake and have not become weary. Nethertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, repent and do the first works or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from it's place - unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans which I also hate. He who has an ear let him HEAR what the SPIRIT says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give to eat from the tree of LIFE, which is IN the midst of The Paradise of GOD. |

Isaiah 61 is ABOUT Jesus it was FOR Jesus to read. When Jesus read the scroll in the synagogue he did not say 'the day of vengeance of our God'.
Since he came to offer mercy. The Day of vengeance begins when the scroll is read in Rev:5.
He only was found worthy to open the scroll.
Apply this piece of scripture to yourself at your own peril. Matt: 9:2 SEEING their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven." Luke 5:20 SEEING their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."
Luke 7:50 And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." Luke 17:1-10 If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, `Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you. |
