Tradition will not save you, nor will religion save you. Neither your church nor denomination will save you. Not one ritual will ever save you.This is what the Father desires: a heart full of love, eyes that do not condemn, a mouth that speaks what is true, and ears that listen humbly. For this is our law: that you become like Him and follow the example His Son set before you: love, compassion, justice, mercy, faithfulness, humility, and impartiality. In everything, practice these. Pray that your words be rebuked if you are speaking what is false.Tell me: what good is it to follow the law outwardly but inwardly be in rebellion against it? Surely, this has no value?Instead, become the kind of person who follows the law naturally. In this are fulfilled His words: "Make a tree good, and its fruit will be good." Become someone who loves unconditionally, who forgives without limit, someone who gives generously. In this, the law is perfected: that you love your neighbour as yourself.Know this: "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."The true security of salvation comes from knowing the Father through the Son. Though men call you a heretic, He loves you. Though they condemn you to hell, in that day, may the one who does His will be exalted.This is the Father's will: that you listen to His Son and let His teaching transform you.How can hate remain in love, or falsehood in truth? How can there be pride in humility or partiality in justice? How can there be condemnation in compassion or rebellion in faithfulness?In that day, you will stand naked before His Spirit, and all that is not of Him will burn away. Do not be like the foolish man who built his house on sand, but be like the wise man who built his house on the rock, so that in that day, your whole being won't collapse with a great crash.
You are teaching moral goodness which is good but are you going to deny the baptism which is an essential thing all Christians share in common as a requirement for salvation? Also being good in itself doesnt lead to heaven because one can argue that plenty of people are good in that they do not harm others are wish for good now tying it as being a requirement for faith in Christianity is on the basis of a recommendation for perfection but not the same as grace through faith alone which saves.
>>545629177True baptism is of spirit and fire.
Amen
>>545629312Your couching things in very spiritual language. Of course the spirit baptises a believer but that is done though pouring water on the head.
>>545630406The rituals are empty and dead and have no life in them, all they were ever good for was to point at what is true, they are witnesses to the true light. I told you: baptism is of the spirit and fire, this does not happen by pouring water on your head, it happens by letting the words of Christ forge you in the fire.
>>545628270Yet another thread where you rail against tradition while relying entirely on tradition for your material.
>>545631680I rail against the beast and the false prophet.
>>545628270Kill yourself loser
What kind of God would judge by what is external, and not what is internal?
Christ is King
>>545631680fuck tradition, look where it got us
You are unbelievably naive and enslaved to the modern illusion of wholesome chungus redditry. You are where you're at because you tried to bring the Absolute Father down into your wholesome chungus framework. The road to Heaven will be paved with corpses and cleanliness will always be a rule.Read the bible verses you are afraid of because it's those verses that fulfills your incarnation. (Yes even THAT verse)God wants men to be killers who do not kill. Not docile nondualists who can not kill.
>Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. - 1 John 2:15–17 KJV>And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. - Romans 12:2 KJV>Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. - James 4:4 KJV>Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself - Matthew 22:37-39 KJV>Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves - Matthew 10:16 KJV>Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. - Proverbs 4:23 KJV>Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour - 1 Peter 5:8 KJVWhile we are to love our neighbor, not condemn them but to pray for them, to give them His gospel and to pray that the Lord would prosper that seed that would be planted by His Word. But we are also taught to not be conformed by the things of this world, to not allow the influence of the world to influence our hearts. As the Lord would not have us simply condemn people but pray for a softened heart towards their acceptance and belief onto the Lord towards a saving relationship with Him. We are also taught to not simply and blindly accept the world into our hearts but to guard our hearts and with all diligence keep our eyes focused on the Lord.
>And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. - John 6:39-40
>>545632508What is external will soon pass away, but what is internal will never pass away.
>>545632749God is done with this country. the divorces and adulteries dont stop, no one even pretends to be married unless theyre too old for it to matter, the fatherlessness doesnt stop. millennial and zoomer women are no less divorce happy than xirs ans boomers. there wont be another generation.4chan was always anti feminist and Christian but never connected the two. at this point it doesnt matter
>>545628270On David god looks for someone who's heart after his own ON DAVID!!!!
>>545629177>baptism which is an essential thing all Christians share in common as a requirement for salvation? This is false. You do not require anything like baptism, to claim your salvation. You need only to have faith in the work done by Jesus Christ, on your behalf.
Power alone is not enough, and it always needs something to justify itself. Religion serves this purpose very well. Notice how quick they are to give up their own commandments when it goes against the interests of the state or when the government requires it of them. In the name of their god, they go to wars, and in the name of their god, they will fall. For their god is Satan.I tell you: unless they repent sincerely and turn from their ways, not one of those who forsake the command of God in order to please the state will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. They have chosen the kingdom they perceive to have more authority. So then, is it not right to give them what they have freely chosen?Then you will say to me: "But what about you?"What about me? I refused to serve in the military, despite the threat of being put into prison. For three years, I waited for my sentence, and then, for half a year, I was monitored and treated like a criminal. I have even been fired from my job because I chose what is true, not taking part in empty rituals.I was forged in the fire of a gambling addiction for four years, during which my girlfriend of the time left me for another man. Through faith and perseverance, I have put to death the self and its desires, and I thank the Father for all that I have suffered, because only through the suffering could I see what I see, and what I see cannot be unseen.All those things I was chasing; they all amount to nothing. In the end, only the spirit will remain. So why do you seek to grow in wealth? Why do you seek to grow in status? Instead, seek to grow in the spirit, so that when that day comes, you have grown in what remains.Our swords are not of iron and steel; neither are we of this world. Our King is heaven, and our kingdom is eternal.
