@dj2becker saidWho did Jesus say will enter the Kingdom of God?
Which interpretation is mumbo jumbo and why? You are the one taking verses out of context and ignoring scripture that directly contradicts what you say.
@dj2becker saidGoogle false doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church for starters
How on earth does Kelly or his church or any church for that matter promote sin and evil? You are delusional.
@kellyjay saidTelling people that they will be led by the Spirit of God, or have the Holy Spirit, and they will live out their lives doing good works, if their accept Jesus is false church nonsense.
Twisting my words isn’t proving a point! Nothing I have ever said promoted sin or evil, telling people to turn towards Jesus Christ is not saying you don’t do good works! You will do them yet it is Jesus not our works that saves us! If it was a matter of human effort why did Jesus have to die for us, we already had the Law!
You can quote fmf if you want, it would be bett ...[text shortened]... scriptures. Getting Spiritual confirmation from someone who rejected Jesus doesn’t mean much to me!
What that does to the gullible man is that everything he does after accepting Jesus is Gods will, its good works or if it is a sin it will be forgiven. It is all false teachings.
@rajk999 saidYou calling Jesus a liar?
Telling people that they will be led by the Spirit of God, or have the Holy Spirit, and they will live out their lives doing good works, if their accept Jesus is false church nonsense.

@rajk999 saidYour twisting my words again, why don't you just limit your disagreements to those things said instead of implying I'm suggesting things I've not said?

@kellyjay saidYou have repeatedly said about yourself the following:
Your twisting my words again, why don't you just limit your disagreements to those things said instead of implying I'm suggesting things I've not said?
- you have accepted Jesus
- you have Gods Spirit
- you will live out your life doing the good works God has for you to do
Now Jesus will judge whether or not you actually succeed in doing that.
Is it your contention that all who profess faith in Christ do good works?
@rajk999 saidDon't know why you resist the Holy Spirit, Jesus promised Him to us to help us. You really do need to concern yourself with Him much more than me or anyone else. Think about it, the Spirit of God in you teaching you the things of God, out of all the things in the whole world what would Satan want less to occur than that? It isn't like I score brownie points if you and God become that close. There is no benifit to me or anyone on the planet except you and God where that relationship matters. The scriptures teach the Holy Spirit is for those that belong to God, Jesus said He was going to send Him, and give Him to those that, ask Him. Not ask KellyJay, not who go to KellyJay's church, I am nothing in that discussion between you and God, it is just between you and God no one else, as it is for everyone else.
Quote where Jesus said .. people .. will be led by the Spirit of God, or have the Holy Spirit, and they will live out their lives doing good works, if they accept Jesus
John 3
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
John 7
Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Luke 11
What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
John 14
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
John 17
"As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me."

@rajk999 saidCorrect, I accepted Christ into my life when I was 25, in my 60's now, He turned my life around out of the life I was living, totally one given to seeking pleasure just for myself, into a much better one walking with the Lord, one much deeper and more fulfilling. God blessed me with His Spirit yes. Yes, the Lord blesses me with the honor of doing things that need done.
You have repeatedly said about yourself the following:
- you have accepted Jesus
- you have Gods Spirit
- you will live out your life doing the good works God has for you to do
Now Jesus will judge whether or not you actually succeed in doing that.
Is it your contention that all who profess faith in Christ do good works?
Of course Jesus will judge, but even the verses you love quoting I have pointed out to you the sheep and goats were separated before the works were even brought up. There were those who by their nature helped others not to score points but because they were acting out of love, when Jesus spoke about those things they did out of love it caught them by surprise. Then there were those who lived selfish lives, they were rejected out of hand.
Profession of faith, and belonging to Christ don't always mean the same thing. There are going to plenty of those that are going to hear the words, depart from me I never knew you. Many might even try to tell Jesus about the things they did in His name, they just never took the time to get to know Him, instead they did what they thought was their religious duty, much like the religious man Jesus spoke of that thanked God he wasn't like other men, he was set apart by the things he did.
@kellyjay saidSo NOWHERE did Jesus say
Don't know why you resist the Holy Spirit, Jesus promised Him to us to help us. You really do need to concern yourself with Him much more than me or anyone else. Think about it, the Spirit of God in you teaching you the things of God, out of all the things in the whole world what would Satan want less to occur than that? It isn't like I score brownie points if you and God be ...[text shortened]... me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me."
1. if you accept me, you will be led by the Spirit of God
2. and you will live out your life doing good works.
Nowhere.
Jesus said #1.
You claim about #2 cannot be found in the Bible.
@kellyjay saidToo much nonsense there. Sorry, I dont have the patience to respond.
Correct, I accepted Christ into my life when I was 25, in my 60's now, He turned my life around out of the life I was living, totally one given to seeking pleasure just for myself, into a much better one walking with the Lord, one much deeper and more fulfilling. God blessed me with His Spirit yes. Yes, the Lord blesses me with the honor of doing things that need done.
Of ...[text shortened]... man Jesus spoke of that thanked God he wasn't like other men, he was set apart by the things he did.
