    Cleansing by the Word

    I believe amigo is referring to this passage: 1Jo 5:9-13 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Just want to mention....the book of remembrance was for OT faithful ones before the cross.....that when Jesus died they would not be forgotten and left in their graves but would be "made perfect" with us....written in the book of life. There is no book of remembrance in the NT, only the book of...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Don't agree that we are being called to add in our own anything to the mix. We are called to submit to the righteousness of God in us, not establish our own righteousness. The context of that passage is partaking of the divine nature and speaks also of having those qualities IN us while...

    Thank you sister. God bless you for your kind words of encouragement.

    Cleansing by the Word

    Thankfully I'm not claiming anything for myself then. But I do seem to be able to grasp some things by grace, such as that we need to have love for the brethren at any stage of their journey with the Lord, and not be respecters of persons based on whether they agree with us on everything or...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Wow, it's as though you just trash the work of God in His people. Despising the day of small beginnings if that is what it is. The bible says we shall be like Him when we shall see Him as He is. It doesn't negate and trash as something worthless what He is doing in our lives until then. If...

    Cleansing by the Word

    I have heard the experience described in different ways by different people over the years, so I wonder if we need to consider that we only know in part. After His resurrection Jesus breathed on His disciples and said "receive ye the Holy Spirit".....but they still apparently didn't receive the...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    No worries. It really wasn't fair of me to sneak in a comment then ask that nobody reply to it, lol. ;)

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Bitter root that defiles. I hope you will seek the Lord to help you with it.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I believe Jesus was prophesying to the Jew first, then the Gentile. But this whole topic doesn't belong on this thread.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I think of it that as the bible says, we ARE complete in Him, because our new man is complete in Him, having been "made in the image of He who created it".......but it is a question of how much of Christ and the new man are we actually manifesting? and how much are we still living through...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I compared my experience to what I read in the bible. Lo and behold, there it was....faith not of your own lest any man boast. Of course I am testifying about myself, I can't testify for other people........but based on testimonies I later heard and as well as seeing it in the bible, I knew I...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    So you are saying the faith we received in the beginning by which we received Christ and continue in Him.....is not true faith. God's word says otherwise. And my experience was otherwise too.....I knew it was a miracle of God, not of my own. He gave me that discernment to see it. Hearing the...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Except human faith is not what the children of God have who have received Christ. It is faith not of our own....it is of God's Spirit......the earnest of the Spirit. You put no distinction between nominal belief and true faith. If you don't know the difference, it makes me wonder whether you...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I believe God can feed us via a raven (unclean bird) if necessary or if He chooses....just be very careful not to eat and embrace the raven. Really perhaps all are ravens in a way.....not perfect and completely "clean". That is why we are to follow God alone, not men. "Entrust" ourselves to no...
