Christian, your theology is overrated. (lordship, presbyterian, abstinence, pray)

Those truly born again KNOW the can only understand the written word if they are guided by the Holy Spirit.

Not to God. If you ever remove your veil of ignorance you will see the truth.

I know from a belief like this you don't even recognize the spirit. The written word points you how to know the Holy Spirit. In other words the Holy Spirit is not for understanding the bible ...... The scriptures are for you to believe him who said if you believe him, by the Holy Spirit you will know and understand God.

As I have said more than once, those using the word "fundamentalist" including you, don't understand what it means.

To be spiritually minded is life and peace.... to be flesh minded is sin and death.

Good verse, so what's your point? Are you accusing me of being flesh minded?

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my MIND am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

It might help you to do some study on the believers 2 natures.

God's ways are not our ways.

God's ways are always perfect, man's is not.

Will you really annul My judgment?
Will you condemn Me that you may be justified? Job 40:8

The word fundamentalist in its true meaning is perfectly acceptable, but in this day and age it means something else.

You cannot serve both at the same time.... You are one or the other. The fact that all bible fundamentalists are always talking about sin and what they assume is sin in others clearly proves they are sin not God conscious.

It might help for you to believe him who the scriptures testify of.

I still error plenty but now I have a Advocate.

For man cannot comprehend the existence of his errors,
when too deeply immersed in them.

If He knows the script given by his heavenly Father, he will comprehend them.

You are assuming that if you think something God requires is bad, it is bad. When you become omniscient, get back to me. When they say MysticPhd is love, get back to me.

So what you are saying is things that appear bad are not necessarily bad. Please explain how you determine this yourself by the bad things that you see.
