What is the meaning of Grace, according to the Bible?

[Randy Kluth]

Hey Randy.
Do you agree with those teachings of Jesus ?

You're not answering my question either, are you? I agree with Jesus' teachings, and with the entire Bible. My concern is not with Jesus' teachings but with how *you're* applying those teachings. Satan himself uses the Scriptures to pass on corrupt beliefs. He did that with Jesus in the wilderness. Do you believe that?

You agree with the entire Bible ?
Titus 3:5-7, Gal 2:16, Eph 2:8-9, Rom 3:28, Rom 4:5, Rom 5:1
Teaches works/performance not required to enter eternal life
Matt 25:41-46 teaches they are

So which ones apply today ?

Matthew teaches slightly different to Paul,thats either due to contradictions or their audience is not the same

Except for your thoughts on being born again is a change to the body, I agreed with much of what you had to say. What I believe about being born again is that it is about the inner man, not the body at all. The inner man is called the old man and consists of the rebirth of our spirit and soul. The spirit is our mind. And the soul is our conscience/heart where God's laws are written and are part of our new nature. We no longer have a sin nature to deal with constantly.

Just two comments:

1. The mind is a funciton of the soul...not of the spirit.
Everyone has a mind
Not everyone has a spirit.

2. If we no longer have a sin nature...why do we sin?

Hi Sondring
There can be no contradictions in the NT.
If there are,,,we can just throw it out.

What do you think Matthew teaches that is different than what Paul teaches??

Which one Peter Androz?
It's a really important question that requires stating what the NT teaches.

So is performance not necessary
or is performance necessary?

Is the NT contradicting itself as another member just seems to have stated?
