The only difference in relationship between God and man, is condemnation by us sinning. There is only one fellowship with God. In the light where there is no walking in darkness of sin at all. This is man's own faith in himself only. The faith of Jesus that saves is only had by them that are...

I knew you were mocking doing righteousness at all times. It's what all self-justifying people do, when they trust only in their own faith alone to save themselves, and make any and all works anathema to their own salvation. You mockingly preached the truth, and I showed by Scripture how what...

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Speak for yourself. Amen, now you go it. Just don't forget it's all by grace through faith of Jesus. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge...

For them that believe and confess Him as the only true Christ and Saviour. He is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, but the whole world is not saved. Christ being formed in us, is not Christ coming again in the flesh to die on the cross. Neither is Jesus being formed again in us...

It will certainly begin that way with all subjects being sheep for His pasture, but not all people will remain that way, and will need more of the iron of the rod.

Of course it is. That's not the subject here, but that even after having known the walk of sinless perfection in Christ, if we do sin against Him, then we must be renewed in His salvation again. No past righteousness, even a perfect walk with God, is remembered by Him the moment we transgress...

I agree, so long as the law we are not under is that of Moses, or any other law that justifies without faith. The only law we are justified in doing by faith, is the law of Christ for the NT.

The problem is thinking our own personal style of writing is revelatory mystery of Scripture. I can write as mysterious as I wish, but it doesn't make it true, just because no one else can figure out what in the world I'm trying to say. I.e. we shouldn't be making people take an extended course...

Again is Imla. Paul is speaking to Christians at Galatia, that are removed to another gospel, that did run well. I don't agree with the OSAS excuse, that every Christian returning to sinning, was never saved in the first place.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. He that saith he...

Christ can be formed in us again, because Paul said He continued to labour with the errant Galatians for that very purpose. To wilfully refuse to return to the faith of Jesus that saves, is to then turn ourselves over to the world and Satan for final destruction of the spirit, soul, and flesh...

I understand what you are saying, and I'm not faulting you for having your manner of speech conformed by your learning of Scripture. I have another form of speaking conformed as well. However, if we are clanging cymbals to the unlearned, then we are not being charitable in our doctrine. I train...

All die spiritually by sinning as Adam. I agree this means those who are sinning as Adam, are those now in Adam. All those now in Christ are made alive as Christ, and are walking as he walked after the Spirit and not after the flesh. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and...

We can begin with Gen 1:1 and go on from there to John 1:1 and beyond, if you like. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. People manipulate and message Scripture from the white to the gray, in...

Ohhh. You're wife does that too? ;)

Very good. Unless poimaino must be replaced with punishing rod of iron for the unrepentant? And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. The rod and staff comforting...

The Lord is speaking and prophesying to His people Israel, as their potter and shepherd, which is then transferred by Paul to all His people of the NT. The Lord is not a Potter at creation, that creates some men for dishonor and some for honor from the womb. That is the lie of predeterminism...

True, but your shining is not in a language common to man. But the Bible is written in plain language that children can understand. If God can reveal His word in such plainness of speech, then so can we teach His word the same way. I'm only telling you what I learned long ago: if we can't write...

Once again, I wouldn't phrase things the way you do. Death of the body is completely practical, because it is the body being dead. The flesh profits nothing with God in matter of covenant today, other than cleansing the spirit and flesh of all filthiness. And the body being dead is a practical...

I agree that all those transgressing as Adam, can be said to be in Adam and even called sinful Adam. If we see like Adam our old man, then we are condemned like Adam in his transgression. But, no other man than Adam was in Adam in the beginning. And the only men to be born of Adam were the babes...
