Dont be so sure...

I'm comfortable enough in my salvation

Jesus wasnt a capitalist despite how much you focus your attention on the idea

Who on here has said that Jesus was a capitalist?

 

[rickyb]

When did I ever say Jesus was a capitalist? He was not a socialist either. Economic systems were not why He was here.

Economics is mentioned right away

To use your language its a dubious proposition to say jesus supports capitalist exploitation

Simply reading the Bible is inadequate, there needs to be in inner work of the Holy Spirit for there to be understanding.

Not true.

 

[vantexan]

Ok.

If there is not an inner work of God in the heart of the individual , then to me simply be believing, living, and submitting to the Bible, as you describe is nothing more than an outward work of man.

Without the love that comes from actually knowing God in personal experience believing in religion that way is for nothing.

I think the Bible actually says something like this.

You've been saying all along that you talk directly to God, and he to you. Nowhere in the New Testament are we taught that Christians will interact in that way with God. You are going beyond the Scriptures which makes you a false teacher. It's not a matter of hating you. You're simply deluded.

 

[BrownFlush]

I actually agree with this.

That's because you're a Calvinist.

there must be something wrong indeed

James Cone's Gospel of the Penniless, Jobless, Marginalized and Despised - Truthdig

The true power of the Christian gospel is its unambiguous call for liberation from forces of oppression and for a fierce and uncompromising condemnation of all who oppress.

Not true.

So true, sorry I believe you are wrong.

That is your opinion, which in my opinion is so wrong.

Sorry you don’t believe, your loss, not mine.
