Satan has deceived you, as HE did Eve, And you have made GOD's WORD of none AFFECT , JUST like YESUAH says
That is your determination based upon your false interpretation of the scriptures.

I am in agreement with your whole post, in that, these scriptures are instructions to God's regenerated children.

I think that you might be looking at Matt 7:21 in a different way than I. The kingdom of heaven is one of many titles that the visible church is called. Others are; The kingdom of God, the new Jerusalem, the church of Christ, Zion, the church in the wilderness, The remnant, the few, the little flock, the church that is set upon a hill, and more.

There will be some of God's regenerated children that will not be accepted into the membership of the church, because of church discipline, but they will be accepted into eternal heaven.

Doing the will of the Father is a work, and will cause you to be a member of the church, but works is not the cause that gets you into eternal heaven.
Yes, we differ in our understanding of the kingdom of God. I do not read it as having anything to do with any visible church. for Christ said the kingdom is within us, not to look for it as "it is here, or it is there". We pray for the kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.

am in perfect agreement with this statement of yours. Harmonize the scriptures, they do not contradict each other. This is my only source of study, as I believe that scripture proves scripture, and to stay away from the false interpretations of other people's writings.
By this logic, we shouldn't bother reading your interpretations either.

The visible church is not a building, but it is within us. Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. Matt 18:20.

JUST like Satan GOT eve to believe that it would be ok to sin, So Satan his you in the same boat, and it does not lead to Heaven
That is pretty harsh, to call me satan. Are you sure you want to do that? If you do not want to discuss the harmony of the scriptures, just say so.

Of course it is. Do you see the logic though? If you don't read anything but the Bible, yet you post your interpretations here, isn't that somewhat hypocritical?

Or, do you recognize that reading the views of others may actually have value?

I don't mean to be unkind; rather, I'm pointing out the inconsistency in your rationale. I also disagree with the "Bible only" position, because I have seen how it limits one's understanding and, too commonly, tends to lead to wacky interpretations.

Until we see that the BIBLE is always right, we can not trust and understand THE WORD OF GOD

You know I do NOT clam TO be nothing special , or smart, or expect to be liked on here much. No one in the BIBLE that tried to tell what GOD really says, is never liked or loved, right down to the LORD YESUAH THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, was HATED, DO I expect any more for me, I tell YOU NAY, Do I want to be liked, I tell you yay, BUT not to haft to disagree WITH THE things that the BIBLE really teaches, For I want to please GOD, AND stand on what the BIBLE really says, I PRAISE GOD,FOR the things that GOD has OPEN MY EYES up to in the BLESSED BIBLE,

I agree that the Bible is always right. I don't, however, agree with your concluding statement. We don't need to see that the Bible is always right to trust and understand it. Rather, it's a learning process, and our trust and understanding grow over time and with both experience and familiarity with the Scriptures.

I just people to learn that to sin willfully puts them in a lost position Till they repent and get it out of their life's, That this verse tells us very plain,
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

I do read the posts of those on this forum, which shows me how that the misinterpretation of the scriptures can lead many into believing their good works is the cause of their eternal inheritance, when the scriptures plainly states that our eternal inheritance is by God's sovereign grace, without mankind's participation.

I am sorry that I misunderstood you, and do enjoy discussing the scriptures with you. Do you believe that once you are born again, that from then on, you do not commit sins anymore?

I believe the scriptures to teach that Christ paid for all of the sins of those that his Father gave him, and his sacrifice was offered to God, for God's acceptance, and not to man, for man's acceptance. If Christ paid for all of the sins of those he died for, how can a sin of those he died for keep them out of heaven? Your kind of theory about Christ's death would make him a failure. It would also make God a failure, if he wants to eternally save all of mankind, but mankind can stay his hand. Dan 4:35 says that none can stay his hand.

I agree with this statement of yours, that the bible is the inspired word of God, and there are no contradictions in them.

No one should not love a person, just because they interpret the scriptures different than you. You should love them enough to want to correct their misunderstanding of the scriptures that they might be able to feel the comfort and security that is contained within them.
