1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | Hank | 73937 | ||
gjboone, the Christian looks to the work of Jesus Christ on the cross for salvation, not the Torah. And his reliance upon the teachings of the book Galatians is total. Do you embrace Christianity or Judaism? Are you, in fact, a Christian? And what is the real point of your argumentation on this forum? --Hank | ||||||
2 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 73950 | ||
Hi Hank, If you could point to something specifically where I am scripturally in error it would be more helpful. I realize there may be an emotional attachment to your beliefs, but we should let Biblical reality guide us to the truth. I prefer not to label myself because labels bring up to many too many negative connations. However, I would describe myself as a truth-seeker. My purpose is to, hopefully, lead others to see the scriptures in a different light. A light that does not contradict itself across testaments and is historically and culturally sound. I welcome you to the discussion Hank. Greg Boone |

gjboone: Greg, thanks for your prompt and civil response; you did not, for whatever reason, answer my questions however, the chief one being "Are you a Christian?" In the many years (over 50) that I've been a Christian, I can't recall ever conversing with a Christian who would not divulge that he was indeed a follower of Christ or, for that matter, conversing with a non-Christian who declined to answer the question, "Are you a Christian." So, if you don't mind, please reveal that much about the status of your faith: Are you, Greg Boone, a Christian? You say that labels have negative associations attached to them? Perhaps you're right to a certain degree. Some possibly do. But the label "Christian" isn't tainted by negatives, not to Christians! The happiest, most glorious and most positive thing I could possibly reveal about myself is that I am a Christian! And, Greg, you in describing yourself to me as a truth seeker aren't really telling me a great deal about yourself, since I know so little about you and even less about what you define as the truth. But I can tell you quickly, using a quotation, what I believe the truth is. The quotation is from John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This is what I have believed for over 50 years. It is what every genuine Christian believes. Is it what you, Greg, believe too? Grace to you. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, Again, this is the problem with labels. I believe that the Son of YHWH came to earth as a Jewish Rabbi and taught us how to live, died for our transgressions of the law/Torah, i.e. sins (1John 3:4) and will judge every human being based on His revealed will to us (Torah and any additional commandments from the sermon on the mount). If by being Christian you mean am I a pork-eating, Sabbath-breaking, replacement theologist who ignores the Biblical festivals in favor of man-made pagan rituals (xmas, easter, etc.)?---No, I am not. See what I mean about labels? I will say that my roots were in Protestant Christianity, but I heard the call of Revelation 18:4 "... Come out of her (the Babylonian whore), my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues". Hopefully this answers your question of how to label me and maybe you will answer the call as well. Did you know that there are over 22,000 different demoninations within Christianity? "Every plant (doctrine), which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.(Matthew 15:13) Greg Boone |

gjboone: In calling Protestant Christianity the "Babylonian whore," you have grossly insulted a host of people on this forum, and you, sir, stand in rank violation of the rules of this forum. You have seriously abused your privilege to use this forum. You hide behind a cloak of anonymity, you play head games with the users, you mislead while purporting to lend credence to your private theology by citing Scripture, but your interpretation is both flawed and unorthodox. --Hank | ||||||
6 | You can ride double with me anytime. | Matt 7:23 | Emmaus | 73981 | ||
Hank, If you guys are the whore now, what does that make us papists, since we have been bumped off our seat on the horse so to speak? Or are we riding the beast in tandem now? Emmaus |

Emmaus, I'm not much of a cowboy and know little about riding horses, but perhaps we could find, or perchance have found, a bicycle built for two! Best regards. --Hank | ||||||
