How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

[marks]

That grace and peace must be multiplied to us BEFORE we can have access to the fulness of God.

That's not what this says.

2 Peter 1:2-4 KJV
2) Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

His divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness.

But if you don't believe this is true, that's not faith, and we access these in faith, not unbelief.

Much love!

so his flesh was the handwritting of ordinances against us? I am confused.

Jesus was a Hebrew.

 

[Episkopos]

Romans 5:1-2 KJV
1) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2) By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

What is anyone waiting for? There is only unbelief standing in the way.

Much love!

LOL. That's what I say. We have ACCESS by faith. You say it in a way where even the hypocrites agree with you...because they are misunderstanding the verse.

Either you are super clever...or else you are fooling people with your flip-flopping from crow to eagle...then back to crow. Which is it?

Now you are claiming this too! I am accused of claiming the higher walk...but you slide by actually believing you are there...and somehow are unable to bear witness of it. Are you afraid of being disliked?

I didn't claim anything. What did I claim? I've posted a couple of passages from the Bible, and you seem to have an issue with what they say, and you seem to be attributing that to me.

And no, I'm not afraid of being disliked. Why do you ask? Are you? No need to answer, it has no relevance.

Much love!

His divine power is also the called "the fulness of God". But you HATE the idea you have to go to God for it...to the throne of grace. You HATE that. That's why they like you...because you share that hatred with many here.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Sometimes I say things I really shouldn’t, only too satisfy my critics.

More insults and pride . Pride come before a fall. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble . I’m reminded of the parable of the unjust steward .

But. His throne is in heaven.

Why are you falsely accusing Mark . Quote him saying any such nonsense . It’s against the rules to lie about others.

This isn't necessary.

Does that present a problem for you? Many here...or most actually, see heaven as an afterlife for those with correct beliefs....like a Valhalla. Although for Valhalla you need to be holding a sword ...and not a bible or John 3:16 t-shirt.

Heaven is for right now! There is no heaven after-life. Heaven is NOT an eternal destiny. There is a New Heaven and a New Earth coming. The redeemed from the earth occupy a new Earth not a new heaven.

This is why faith is required....that bridges the gap between the temporal world...and the kingdom of God. When God sees faith He translates people into the kingdom of His dear Son.

Seek first the kingdom of God and HIS covering righteousness...right now...not after you die.

No problem you guys Duke it out lol

Such hypocrisy...you accuse me falsely all the time. You get off on it!

No I challenge your false teachings . Huge difference .

Or settle it peaceably, which is what I prefer.

Much love!

Why do you say this?

Just love it when you don't react but keep on quoting Scriptures!

 

[Episkopos]

Championing Romans 6...reading yourself into the text...making it cover-up the kind of seeking and acceptance by God...empowering by God...that requires an ACTUAL FAITH.
