1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 73986 | ||
Hi Steve, I hope you don't mind but I am going to respond with the same answer I gave 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 |

Greg; I'm sorry you don't know what I meant by "Christian"; I thought my post made it fairly clear; let me repeat it for you. I said "To the world, the label is just a category. To the Christian, however, it is a seal given by God, it is an admission of sin and dependence on Jesus. It is a badge of honor given to the unworthy, to be worn with humility, in the knowledge that it [is] given only by the grace of God through the shed blood of Christ." But, since you explained what the label means to you - a category that describes a "pork-eating, Sabbath-breaking, replacement theologist who ignores the Biblical festivals in favor of man-made pagan rituals", we all have a very clear answer to Hank's question. Thanks. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Steve, You do not see a conflict with me professsing to the world that I am a "Christian" when I do not do what "Christians" do? I am in fellowship with the Creator of this universe. He has called me out of darkness into His marvelous light. How anyone of you care to label me is a non-issue. The issues are should children of YHWH be "pork-eating, Sabbath-breaking, replacement theologist who ignore the Biblical festivals in favor of man-made pagan rituals". I submit to you the answer is NO. I believe that what I profess is consistent across testaments and I am more than willing to discuss any topic, despite my lack of a label. Rest assured, I always use scripture to validate my stand (can a heretic do that?). Greg Boone |
