Nick,
hi davidl,
You think God was playing tricks?
He wanted “intelligent” men to read between the lines rather than take anything at face value?
God prefers the simplicity of children
Where are the wise?
You probably do not want to make the argument you did as God does speak and parables and that could be called “playing tricks’. Instead it is a way to filter out those who do not want to the light.
Hi davidl,
You love the bible.
Can you please show me where GIVING YOUR LIFE TO JESUS is shown as a door into the Kingdom.
I know it is a very popular way advised by men but is it of God?
Hi KW,
Parables are teaching food for those reborn of the Spirit.
They are impossible to understand for natural men.
Spiritual matters need spiritual discernment
Hi davidl,
We are called to follow Jesus.
Did he give his life to Jesus?
Such private personal decisions that are meant to solve your eternal issues are not the way of God.
Repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS and you will receive the promised Holy Spirit.
No obedience and you die in your sins despite the soothsayers.
Hi davidl,
“My sheep know my voice. They will not listen to the voice of strangers”
But strangers told you about a trinity god, not Jesus.
What gives??

Trinitarians claim the same about their teaching as they do not want it tested. So do others.
bodhitharta,
I probably quoted because how I received it than for any other purpose. Now I think about it the evidence was most likely unnecessary as you already knew it.
My point is the way Colossians 3:10 uses image of God is in the sense of bearing his likeness of true holiness and righteousness. Ephesians 4:24 is a paraphrase of the same idea.
Hi KW.
Col 3.10
“..and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One Who created him..”
Eph 4.22f
“..you lay aside your old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in [the likeness of ] God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth”
So having been reborn of the Spirit we must submit our minds and hearts and repent that the Spirit can rebuild in us anew according to the Word.
The light must be allowed to enter and drive the darkness from every corner if we are to walk in the Spirit and become sons of God.
Can you please show me where GIVING YOUR LIFE TO JESUS is shown as a door into the Kingdom.
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.” – Matt. 16:25
This is the door into God’s kingdom.
DavidL,
Do you judge whether you will go to heaven or hell or are you content to let God judge that?
Do you believe that those humans who learn how to always walk by the Spirit overcome the world and so stop sinning?
Do you believe you can always do right and never sin, even while in your mortal body?
The answer to these questions and others tell of the strength of your faith. Many false teaching undermine that strength.
don’t let your logic deceive you, or your knowledge puff you up…
Christ is the door – if you have Christ, you have the Father and the Spirit…
We must surrender our life to Jesus Christ – make Him Lord (not just call Him Lord)…
The question still remains Nick – are you born again..?
Hi davidl,
So you following manmade doctrines does not relate to false logic and being puffed up?
So one door is three??
