Most proponents of these ideas are still waiting for God to move. Not realizing what He did on the cross.

Still waiting to GET to Heaven instead of understand that Heaven is actually inside of them!

If I had the time, and you had the inclination, I would show you that Heaven is actually God. And show you through the entire OT how this idea of a Kingdom came about because people wanted a King. I would show you how the Kingdom is where His will is fully manifested. And how Scripture is actually telling us what Heaven looks like here on Earth.

I'd show you that we are called to bind up the works of the devil. I'd explain to you why Jesus gave them the keys to the Kingdom. And a whole lot more, but first we have to get beyond this idea that we are still trying to GET TO GOD. And still trying to GET TO SALVATION.

Why do you think You have the Spirit of God? How do you think that happened? Are you joined with Him or not? And if you are purified by Him of COURSE it will flow through out your life! That's why it's called FRUIT.

You abide in Him. Literally! He's the Vine!

But we have to get beyond the elementary! This is a basic principle of entering into the Kingdom of God.

Those who are reborn will see it! Do you see it?
If not are you reborn? If not, get reborn!
If you are, pray that the eyes of your heart would see!
Get understanding!

And when people try to share their liberty don't attack them and think it's for Christ.

And in answer to the idea that this is somehow a waste of time that God would receive FULLY what He paid for???

This is definitely NOT a waste of time.

And I pray whoever reads this post will get smacked upside the head by the reality of the Spirit of God that is their Teacher, is their Comforter, and is the Living God Himself!

It is to your advantage I go, so that He can come! - Jesus

Let's not EVER downplay the reality of who He is! And one way we do that is by understanding WHY we have access to Him.

The evil eye and offense to Christ (as the offense goes both ways with the cross) are two different things.

Blessed are those who are poor in spirit. for theirs is the kingdom of God.

Jesus speaks here of the most important need. If we want to be blessed, and part of the kingdom. We have to be spiritually bankrupt.

The term poor in greek, literally means destitute, poor, A begger, Bankrupt, destitute.

For a person who has yet to come to this place of being a beggar, who sees his true filth and desperate situation. One will not come to faith in Christ. They still can have hope in themselves. and will hold onto that hope. instead of seeing their need and seeking their hope in Christ.

this first statement is the root. or foundation of all the rest. If this one is not satisfied in the gospel by faith (biblical) in Christ non of the rest well be realized..

Jesus died for the forgiveness of our sins, taking on himself the punishment due to us.
By His resurrection he conquered death and to give us power over sin.
We equally conquer sin through putting our faith in Christ and His sacrifice.
What are you baffled about? Sounds to me like you do not understand the traditional
view of faith in Christ.
The sign that you know Christ is the fruit in your heart, shown in repentance, faith,
good works, love, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Is this not what you believe.

see the difference
,15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.Hebrews 9

using (act 2 )as a guide for your stand in repentance. only shows blindness to definition to scripture.

even if you claim spiritual isreal , no gentiles are at acts 2. so time and date, would have to give meaning.

28 And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.Acts 10

acts 10 give no repentance, to getting the holy spirit.

act 15 gave what law to repent from.

yet here your saying repentance.

make up your mind.

would the truth, be a factor, to why, you will or will not see. (god)

5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith--Galatians 3

6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,8 as it is written,
"God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day."Romans 11

we must all be dead then. Because we all sin. Unless you think we are sinless? Which I know you deny.

Either the sinner dies. Or it is saved by grace, can't have it both ways

I must admit, I've treated lightly what Jesus has said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
Ive been thinking, and doing a bit of time travelling (lol).
Can you imagine what they would have been thinking when He said 'pure in heart'? That would've been such an absurd statement, for who could possibly be pure? Like as the disciples once asked in astonishment, "Who then can be saved??" I presume they would have had some understanding that it is impossible to be pure in and if yourself. It would have been almost absurd as when Jesus said, "Your sins are forgiven." The Pharisees were enraged by that! And to say, "they will see God." See God?? What??
Even that word blessed in the Greek means to have not such a care of the issues of this world that you were either dead or a god.
Surely all this is the work of God ultimately.. Which must include our cooperation, our will to line with His will. It is the work of God. For without Christ we can do nothing and His grace is sufficient .

1 John 1:7
[SUP]7 [/SUP]but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

When we walk with Jesus His Blood cleanses us of ALL our sins!

1 John 1:9
[SUP]9 [/SUP]If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We WILL sin! We HAVE sinned and will CONTINUE to sin!

But i thank God He has cleansed me of ALL my sins!

we don t have foundation in an old covenant, there was already a way out of sin, ie animals or repentance, to the jewish people.


15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.Hebrews 9


18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.Romans 5

foundation in a new covenant have nothing to do with sin. (saviour, is what they are preaching)

justification and life for all men, never came throught the law. etc

5 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for manyRomans 5
