James Thomas wrote: No one said they were not real churches. No one is opposing anythin US, I'm simply pointing out some cross references from different Scripture which all speak of the same event of which I referenced rev 3:12. Here's another Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people And another Isa 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. If you don't think the Rev 3:12 is the same event in all of the other references I've given, why is that? Thanks Thanks for the good thought Mike. I'm still pondering it so I haven't been able to reply as of yet. Not looking for 12 rounds either but healthy sparring is a good thing. Just because some of the words are similar does not mean it refers to the same thing. Revelation 3:12 is a future promise to those who overcome not a past reference to the new covenant. You asked my thinking, that would be it, if you don't see it that way, then you don't. |

James Thomas wrote: Out of the prophets bro, not out of the blue. What the prophets spoke are the witness, not my thoughts. Rev 17:1 I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: Jer 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness. Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Jer 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. I stand corrected. The tie between the two Scriptures is what is out of the blue. Thanks for your time brother James |

There is a difference between positional and personal holiness. Any gins in holiness by the believer is done through the work of God. (I Cor 15:20. Phil. 2:12,13). If you’re not more holy in life than when you got saved, I would question the genuineness of your conversion. I John 1 says we walk in the light and confess sin and fellowship with Christ. Walking implies progress. I John 2 tells us the goal of not sinning. Paul said he pressed toward the mark and had not obtained. Christianity is not a let go and let God. We are commanded to strive, to fight, to mortify, to put off, to put on, to war against the flesh, to not make provision for it, to lay aside, to pray, to study, to meditate, to draw nigh to God, etc. These are all actions. We are what we by the grace of God, so there should be no self glorying God’s Word commands you to pursue holiness if you have a problem with that I am not the one to whom you should speak |

ladybug wrote: NOT so fast, look what Paul says in Romans 7:19-"For the good that I desire, I do not do; but **the evil that I do not want, this I practice**". Look what I discovered when I looked at the original language on the word 'practice' - prássō, pras'-so; a primary verb; to "practise", i.e. perform *repeatedly or habitually*. It's in the present tense as well, meaning it is 'ongoing'. Paul's usage of 'hate' in verse 15 doesn't refer to a loathing, or any emotion actually. Instead, the context better fits this definition-'renounce one choice in favor of another'. He renounces what is right for that which is wrong. ... Psalm 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: Psalm 119:128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way Prov 8:13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.Hebrews 12:14 is a command to pursue (follow) holiness. This is not positional holiness but personal. We know that because the verb is in present tense (already noted as a continual action) and active voice (the subject is the DOER of the action) Salvation is not just a change of mind is a change of heart (Heb. 10:16) |
