When the Israelites were bitten by the poisonous snakes in the wilderness - God didn't say "Look at the snakes - keep your eyes on them - try to figure out what kind of snake it is"

lolol... :)

But you have to believe what is written and not try to conform scripture to your dogma.
indeed! this is something we all should do, and disagreements of this sort have existed since the time of the Reformation at the very least.

prolly not gonna resolve them here. :)

a thread like this will break a servant of Jesus Christ's very heart...

where, you may well ask, is the Respect and Tolerance being shown for others
on Christ's scale of Love?

how long should it take for a seasoned worshipper to know when to put on
Christ's Holy Mantle and rest in confidence after their point has been made?

1PETER 2:20.
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently?
but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

PS. 19:14.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight,
O LORD, my Strength, and my Redeemer.

It's fact, not theory, and there is clear scripture. But you have to believe what is written and not try to conform scripture to your dogma.
For if you forgive people their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14-15

Really? And we don't have to take all scripture in context now?

So, I guess Peter and Paul had no idea of what Jesus said there before the Cross when they preached the gospel of the grace of Christ?

Look at the word-for-word accounts of the true gospel of Christ being preached and no where does it say to "forgive first or you will not be forgiven" I'll give you the exact scripture references . Peter - Acts 10:43 and Paul Acts 13:38

Have you ever heard Billy Graham say " Forgive people first before you come to receive Christ's forgiveness"?..of course not..it is anti-the gospel.

It is extremely important to read all scriptures in their context - even the words of Jesus. I understand this conflicts with some of our religious beliefs passed on by mad-made traditions which nullify the grace of God.

The Cross of Christ changed from living according to law and we are now in the grace of Christ for forgiveness. It is not based on us. We forgive because we are forgiven - it's in our nature now.

This short video will show you the context of those scriptures in Matt 7.

Yes we have to read in context, otherwise we will be conned by those who give their own interpretations to the text to make void what Jesus said in order to give their dogma and traditions of men preeminence.

What we are seeing here,and other threads is a collision of Grace and ordinances,or law.

Got a news flash for both sides.

We are saved UNCONDITIONALLY.

WE WALK OUT THIS FREE SALVATION IN HEAVENS PROTOCOL.

"if we walk in the light,as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another,and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin,if we walk in the light as He is in the light."

What was step one of the first church?

Doctrine? NO

Deliverance NO

Evangelism. NO

Ordinances. NO

It was EQUIPPING.

The anointing breaks the YOKE. Jesus knew the church WOULD NOT SURVIVE outside the anointing.

It was Pauls coveted prize,right behind JESUS,and his intimate walk.

There are 3 levels of anointing.

Salvation. Or leapers anointing.

Priestly. Or the baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT.

Kingly. Or both anointings,combined with intimacy,and OBEDIENCE.

What Jesus said takes preeminence over anything Peter or Paul said. IF the two conflict in your mind, then you have a problem understanding what Peter and Paul wrote.

So, you are saying that Peter and Paul had it wrong when they preached the gospel? How can we mis-interpret the scriptures that talk about forgiveness after the Cross?

Here's Peter..shouldn't he have said "
You need to forgive anyone first before you can receive God's forgiveness by the blood of Jesus"??

Acts 10:43 (NASB)
[SUP]43 [/SUP] "Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."


And the same thing for Paul - he didn't say 'You need to forgive first before we you can be forgiven by the blood of Jesus" ??


Acts 13:38 (NASB)
[SUP]38 [/SUP] "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

Or is it possible Jesus was talking about the law when He gave those words out for His disciples at the time they were still under law then? The New Covenant didn't come into effect until Jesus died and rose again to obtain our eternal forgiveness.

Here Paul says that forgiveness is all based on "according to the riches of His grace "..not if we forgive first.

Ephesians 1:7 (NASB)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.

That's good!

So, Peter and Paul did preach the true gospel of the grace of Christ and that we did not have to forgive others before we receive God's forgiveness in Christ.


This is the truth about forgiveness after the Cross or how do you get around all this?

No, they never said that. You say they said that.

I'm absolutely positive they said that those that believe in Christ's name have forgiveness of sins - they didn't say to forgive first did they before coming to receive forgiveness.

Here are the very scriptures again - remember these are word-for-word accounts of the true gospel of the grace of Christ being preached.

CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT!!! You can't just pull random verses out of scripture, you have to look at the whole context of the Bible or the "con" man will get you. :)

here we are people, as I pointed out a while back, setting scripture AGAINST scripture. pure false teaching heresy.

This is just a ludicrous way of interpreting scripture. It's like saying we don't have to love because Peter and Paul didn't mention it when they told gentile pagans to repent and believe.

First repent, then believe, now (and for all time) obey Jesus' words.

If I said it once, I'll say it again. Those who deny the words of God as true also deny Jesus Christ.

Did you obey Jesus' words when He said to "Go and preach the gospel in Jerusalem, then Judea, then Samaria"

If you haven't then you are in your own words - you are denying Jesus.

We do we deny the words of God in regards to the true gospel of the grace of Christ for forgiveness after the Cross where we don't need to forgive people before we receive Christ's forgiveness as Peter and Paul showed in Acts 10 and Acts 13?

Obviously we need to take all scripture even the words of Jesus and see who they are talking to and what was the purpose of His words at the time He spoke them. Context is so key or we end up mixing up the Old Covenant with the New and we end up with a works-based doctrine like the Old Covenant was based on.

Let's climb into the New Covenant build upon better promises and of which the blood of Jesus speaks of better things. We have a truly great and complete salvation in Christ and we don't need to add our own "works" onto it.

we deny your hateful, judgemental use of God's word, not the word.

presenting God as jugdemental only without pointing out mercy, forgiveness is just wrong. if you ain't perfect, do not perch yourself up high and look down on all the sinners. guess what, you are one too!!
