Anti-Anti's Modern Prosperendum

Beauty represents goodness by way of health, physical and then spiritual. Lust desires to control, absorb and have that goodness through an act of will. Death is the end of lust and all sin.

I thought to give up my highest standard, because I did not remember that my worth is based on Christ's work and not my purity. He does make me to live with high gifts, and my shame should be pushed away, because He loves me and has bought me with His blood.

There is a parallel drawn by the World between the concept of working hard in drudgery for the chance to find happiness at the end of it all and a false concept of Christianity.   Christ finished the work that gives the happy ending for all those who believe and confess Him Master, in accord with the Scriptures, as per 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 and Romans 10, verses 9, 10, and 13, which say to believe certain particular things and do a particular action to be saved.  It's all very direct and simple, but most simply won't, not having believed the witness of The Holy Spirit concerning Christ. Christianity isn't stoicism, so stop trying and give into the One Who has finished the work, Master Jesus Messiah.

Love doesn't hurt others for selfishness.  That's why the stand against evil is loving and the growth of The Holy Spirit's fruit is loving.  And that's how developing soulish matters is loving, and helping siblings in Christ do so - even when it's painful - does love. Feeding the poor with physical food is loving, but it's hateful when spiritual food is never given, especially when salvation doctrine is continuously withheld over the long term from those without the hope of salvation, which many churches do in confusion about love. It's better to work on yourself, and then you will be well placed and ready to actively love by feeding the poor with those things that real love directs the sincere Christian to honestly give to the needy.

When you hate what you allow after allowing what your conscience screams at you not to allow and you twist the feeling of that scream into pleasure, then you didactically, logically, and irrevocably prove that evil both exists and has dominance over you, and THEREFORE, you know that you should want goodness to protect you from it.

Anything I can do to earn salvation is disgusting to God.  My best righteousness is hideous, like a used menstrual cloth. Only the Gospel of God by Jesus Christ can save by God's power, where His mercy and love are not pitted against His justice, holiness and righteousness. That's why once we are truly saved by God's Gospel, we are always saved, because it's not up to us.  It's God's power, and He has known since before He created Adam every individual He would save, and He put us in the position to hear His voice in a way that He knew we would respond to, so even our one work of salvation (Romans 10:9a) is really His work; He led us to verbally confess Master Jesus, and our belief in those 4 tenets of salvation (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) are things He sent the preacher to tell us, and He knew that we who have believed would believe them, and so He predestinated and called us, because it's not God's will that anybody should die (2 Peter 3:9), and He will fin...

Matthew 12:32a - "And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him...". As far as I can tell from Scripture, even if they fail to understand that Jesus is God, if they accept the gospel, then we can't judge that they are not saved. My best understanding of the gospel is: Verbally confess Master Jesus, due to your knowledge that He died on the cross for our sins, and was buried, and He arose from the dead on the third day, and He was seen by a great cloud of witnesses, and you will be saved. Then your belief in the Resurrection will also lead you to righteousness. Romans 10:9a & 10:10b, due to believing 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, results in Romans 10:9b & 10:10a.  As far as I can tell, they are Christians.  It is a fearful thing to dismiss something about God, but their reason for this mistake includes a desire to protect something that is said about God – that “God is one”, which biblical truth could be taken to mean that He is singular in His...

Reading from a prayer book is not the problem - many such practices can be useful and are not sinful - but some particular practices are evil in the Roman Catholic philosophy.  It's riddled with wickedness of many types - idolatry, necromancy, a false-humility-based distrust of directly relating to God, like Adam freely did in his right standing with God in the Garden, and a denial of the complete effectiveness of Master Jesus Christ's death for our sins by wicked faith in Transubstantiation. Many Protestants DO understand the value of many of the things the Vatican still holds to, but we protest against these particular things, which are so vile as to seem - but God knows - to be a completely different religion, especially due to the denial of the gospel by Transubstantiation!  Do you trust what Christ actually did or do you trust your priests to hand to and pass to you something that they claim for almost no reason that God decided to give His great salvation through a pries...

If you tell people that Jesus loves them and you love them, and if you show them kindness, that is good, except it is evil if it's all you tell them of Jesus.  Never dare tell the people of the World that Jesus loves them without also telling them that His love took the form of dying for our sins as our substitution in God's judgment in full accordance with the prophecies of it beforehand and the descriptions of it given afterward in the Bible, and then He was buried, and then God raised Him from the dead on the third day in accordance with the Bible, and then He was seen afterward by Peter, the Disciples, over 500 brothers at once (most of whom were still alive when Paul spread to the Corinthian congregation this formulation of the gospel that he had also been taught, but some of them had passed away by then), and then Jesus was seen after His Resurrection by James, and the Apostles at large and then by Paul, and that believing these things we must call on the name of the Mast...
