DOES THIS SOUND LIKE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE TO YOU?
DAVEH: Yes indeed, they do.
"To this end God created man to live in mortality and endowed him with the potential to perpetuate the race, to subdue the earth, to perfect himself and to become as God, omniscient and omnipotent." p 2DAVEH: I can understand why Protestants would tend to choke on that, but it is logical as well as scriptural, IMO."we are commanded to be supermen. Said the Lord, 'Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.' (Matt. 5v48) We are gods in embryo, and the Lord demands perfection of us." p286DAVEH: He is quoting Jesus. Who would disagree with that!?!?!"It depends upon you whether or not you are forgiven, and when. It could be weeks,it could be years, it could be centuries before that happy day when you have the positiveassurance that the Lord has forgiven you. That depends on your humility, your sincerity,your works, your attitudes." p 325
DAVEH: With some of the attitudes here, it could take a lot longer than centuries! :-)"And however powerful the saving grace of Christ, it brings exaltation to no man who does not comply with the works of the gospel," p. 207DAVEH: I think I've tried to say that is my belief a few times on TT in other words.QUOTES TAKEN FROM
