No, He was stressing the utter necessity of needing HIM.
Exactly! Yet people under some legalistic paradigm stress avoidance of sin over faith in Christ that sets you free from sin. Morality over God's sanctification.

HeRose does teach. Perhaps you need to be willing to learn to be teachable.
The part that "grace" believers leave out is - "if thy eye/hand offend thee".
Jesus was perfectly serious that if something about you offends to the point that it would result in you being cast into hell forever, it would be far, far better for you to do without that temporary thing than to suffer such an unbearable eternal fate. He was stressing the utter seriousness of avoiding hell.
"Grace" believers, of course, twist this around to make it say something entirely different than what Jesus meant.
You are sadly mistaken to think HeRose speaks for Gnosticism.
Your lack of understanding does not reflect well on you.
None of your posts on this page have likes, and who even knows why people put likes on particular posts. It certainly cannot be taken to mean one thing only. You defend speaking in a manner that deliberately misleads while being concerned about who I agree with and why? You don't even know the why. Look to yourself.
Might want to check the page again. Also, I am not misleading. I have no intention of such, only stating he is buried in the knowledge of a cult so much so that anything resembling it he denies. Because of this, he is denying biblical truth.
He's desperate.
legalism is saying we must obey rules to be saved. or salvation will be lost.
Thats what you preach, and you can not even see it..
an apple can run around mad at everyone calling him an apple when he believes he is an orange,
Sadly, he is still an orange, he cannot make himself an apple.
Better desperate for Jesus my Savior, than to boast in my own goodness. His grace is sufficient, and I am completely dependent on Him for my salvation. Are you? Or do you rely at all on yourself?
Lol, you had to let it out.

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 Tim 2:4-5
There are no rules to be saved, Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Rom 3:31.
As usual another thread that started out promising has devolved into chaos and inanity from all of the non-relevant noise that the "grace" believer **edited** is unashamed to spew out.
I really wish they or some others had stayed on topic and explained how sins can be forgiven before they're committed, and provide a scriptural example of such. Also, imagine such a lawless thing happening in this world.
You water down the law to a point you can live it,, You will feel powerful too.
Thank God for his spirit, who will not allow his children to do that, He will convict s of the smallest, seemingly most inconsequential sins we do.. And we will have no choice but confess.. Yes God, We need you, I see that more and more every day.
Something they will not fathom unless they first come to Christ.. and retrieve his love, instead of trying to earn it.

OMgosh! Its The Purge! haha!
PS: Someone got the movie reference, right? lol
Actually, that's an interesting point you bring up
I'm sure we've all noticed how law keepers cherry pick which laws they consider as applicable to their salvation
Oooo...yes yes that one...I keep that one
or
OOOoo nooooooo...that one can't be kept, therefore, it is not still applicable
lol.. It was going great, Until you had to call people satan, gnostic and calvin.. Then it was destroyed..
