The bright side of Christianity

In this regard, in pursuing error in its many branches, it could be good to mention a little about this. We know that just as the one truth is the key to the next truth, so one error is the doorway to the next error. In this way, those who go astray can get clear but erroneous revelations, and they acquire a lot of false knowledge, which makes their owner thoroughly puffed up. The bright side of Christianity? What is that? What is Christianity? Christianity is life, and the life is Jesus Christ. Does He have a bright side and a dark side? Some live on the bright side, others on the dark side, and so people move back and forth according to their lusts. We will see that the same mindset becomes reproduced in those who stray concerning the faith. Follow them and you will find it. They call Romans 7 the dark side, Romans 8 the bright side of Christianity. When appropriate, they skip from Romans 7 to Romans 8. In Romans 7 they were in bondage, but in Romans 8 they are the sons of the free woman. If they were to acknowledge Romans 7 again, yes, they would again come into bondage. And according to these things, they think that they can pass over from bondage to free son and from son to bondage again, &c., back and forth, as you please. Does anyone think they can play around with God in this way, and go unpunished?

After one has received the baptism of the Spirit you are free, but you can soon come into bondage again. Does anyone think that when one is born from above with incorruptible seed, when the life is Christ, that this life—the life of Christ—becomes slave or free in accordance with their “appraisal” of one or the other teaching? What do such people think about God? Does God waver back and forth because of what people think about this or that scripture? Does He turn Ishmael (the son of the bondswoman) into Isaac (the son of the free woman) and afterwards Isaac back again to Ishmael? With such doctrines, one can bring forth both bright and dark sides of Christianity, but such things have nothing to do with Christ. He is alive and He is light, and there is no darkness in Him.
