I'm not sure you understood what I wrote.
I understand little. The parable of the virgins, the sheep & goats & the unwise investor of the master are all interconnected. The sheep & goats are clean animals, the virgins are not loose women but pure virgins.
Welcome to Jonathan Mitchell N.T.
The Sheep And The Goats - Jonathan Mitchell's Writings
What exactly is your definition of repentance?
Like I said I don’t know Greek but the term in Hebrew (which I also for the record do not know) is teshuva, from shuv, which means return or turn back.Repentance = metanoeo
A change of mind & heart. Redirection of one's purpose leading to change for the better. Amendment.
Amendment = correction.
Like I said I don’t know Greek but the term in Hebrew (which I also for the record do not know) is teshuva, from shuv, which means return or turn back.
it’s not just redirection but returning to the Way, the Truth, and the Life and if you know God as your Heavenly Father then it is literally coming home
that’s actually a good reason why repentance more effective than deconstruction of Greek translationYou need not know koine! The question is has the Scriptures led us to the One who is life?
"You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me..."
BUT
You will not come to Me.
WILL EVERY ONE THAT SAYS LORD LORD ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
MATTHEW 7:21-23 [21], NOT EVERY ONE THAT SAID TO ME, LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; BUT HE THAT DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
[22], MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN YOUR NAME? AND IN YOUR NAME HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS? AND IN YOUR NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?
[23], And THEN WILL I PROFESS TO THEM, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YOU THAT WORK INIQUITY.
I agree... Winner postYet your pointing everyone to the teachings of men that lead away from the Word of God? The Goats, unfaithful sevant and investor as well as the foolish virgins are all numbered with the wicked and were not allowed to enter Gods' kingdom and at the second coming were cast into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his Angels *MATTHEW 25:31-41. Time to turn away from the teachings of men that lead us away from the Word of God dear Fine. God is calling us back to his Word. The Words that I speak unto you they are Spirit and they are life.
In light of Galatians 2:20 when we sin we aren’t messing up “our lives” but placing ourselves outside of Christ.
That’s why it hurts so much.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a baptism of fire. You say this is also the lake of fire, I believe it happens while this body lives.Dear Lady: The Life of "the faith" is one in the progressive present of those called to be saints. In this environment of His faith, not ours, we are brought into alignment with "I die daily." This is NOT the man power of this worlds Churchianity but the God Power of His Church of the Firstborn.
Welcome to the cross!
"The purpose of the cross is to do away with you, blessed riddance!" A.W. Tozer-
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a baptism of fire. You say this is also the lake of fire, I believe it happens while this body lives.
Your picture seems to imply that I’m trying to deny forgiveness to others, if you look at what I wrote that isn’t true. God stayed my hand and warned me not to be deceived into arguing against mercy.
The prophets say repent. John the Baptist says repent. Jesus Christ says repent. The apostles say repent. The revelation to John says to the churches, repent.
Your rabbis say not. Do you see the warning against the doctrine of Balaam?
Dear Abba: Baptize us in Your Fire
