Those who deserve "Higher Reputation."

Jesus tells us to be perfect. this is not my word.

And I remind you I never ever claim to be perfect. I don't even claim to be saved like most Christians do.

So Jesus said be ye perfect...and you are not
He said be born again...and you are not
He said be saved.... and you are not
He said love the brethren...and you do not

I am in the rep threads, which is a lot ,to give my perspectives that you guys are not willing to accept.

It's like their unwillingness to accept your perspective almost matches your unwillingness to accept their perspective.

Of course not. Jesus does not indorse reberious faith.

He is depicted as gentle lamb.
I can tell that your "bible" is missing a lot of pages.....
Mat 23:13-39 KJV But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (14) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. (15) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (16) Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! (17) Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? (18) And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. (19) Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? (20) Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. (21) And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. (22) And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. (23) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. (24) Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. (25) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. (26) Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. (27) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. (28) Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. (29) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, (30) And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. (31) Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. (32) Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. (33) Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (34) Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: (35) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. (36) Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. (37) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (38) Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. (39) For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Personally, I would love to see everybody who preaches
the "Grace Gospel" (Paul's Gospel) have the highest
"Reputation." Posters like Tambora, Heir, Glorydaz,
SaultoPaul, Steko, Patrick Jane, and many others.

I'm being very subjective, however, it's merely my
opinion. There are some very nice posters around
TOL who may not share my beliefs, but, none the
less, I like and respect them. I'd like to see them
have a higher "Reputation" as well.

I love to "Pos-Rep" those who have said something
that is, over and above the call of duty. Those who,
go that "extra mile" to post something that is,
logical, intelligent, witty, reasonable, and includes
Spiritual discernment.

Any opinions on this topic?

Can we get a half point for Peter who also taught Grace?

Act 15:11 "But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they."

If you can't claim it then, you are, more than likely NOT!

You have heard the "True Gospel" preached on TOL. However, thus far,
you have rejected it. Judgement awaits you if you don't accept the
"Grace Message."

Peter preached the "Kingdom Gospel" to the House of Israel while,
Paul preached the "Grace Gospel" to the Gentiles. That's the way it
was back then.

Today, we live in the "Dispensation of Grace." Both Jew and
Gentile can be saved by Paul's Gospel. All, who hear the Grace Message
and place their faith in Christ, can become part of the "Body of Christ."

not "are saved" as Paul preached those in the BoC are!

This looks like nit picking the translation.

Luke 13:23 Then one said to Him, "Lord, are there few who are saved?" And He said to them,

Romans 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

Rom 5:10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Acts 11:23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.

Acts 11:24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.

Do you believe the people added to the Lord in Acts 11:24 were not saved and are not part of the BOC?
