Amen. I agree. Paul didn't use terms such as being sinless in describing himself. Think Jesus is the only one about whom such terms as "without sin" and "sinless" can be applied. Being like Him means to walk as He walked, walking in the spirit in holiness....but as long as we are in these...

Well, as I have asked you before.............what is the much more that we have been given that makes us different from unbelieving unredeemed Jews under the Law? You seem to deny that we have been given anything.

Who am I sister...........just trying to understand some things. Battling with brain fog today. Paul wrote that "in me (that is in my flesh) is no good thing". I doubt that will ever not be true for anyone in this life then.....? Corruption putting on incorruption is speaking of the...

The point I'm making is that there is a big difference between unbelieving Jews under the Law and people who have encountered the Lord and come to faith in Christ and have been made alive spiritually. You seem to maintain that there is no difference at all, apparently. The starting point for a...

I believe what you are saying in a general way, and scriptures do seem to point to that..... but just not sure about the specific details and "mechanics" of it all. Whether it is a state of literally "being sinless" or rather a state of walking "above" and in victory over our flesh/carnal...

The bible says we are GOD's workmanship, true? And that having BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT we are not now going to be perfected by the flesh. It's a matter of learning and battling and getting to a place of submitting to HIS righteousness which is within us by His Spirit. It is the LORD who is working...

I'm glad you have been encouraged and helped by them brother....but are they infallible?

Implied in "hearing" is also obeying I believe. Someone who believes only with the carnal mind because of seeing a miracle....is still not saved. But miracles CAN help people to open their HEARTS to receive the word and faith that is not of their own. Or just to bless them and give them a...

But are we supposed to ignore the bible and just believe what some commentator says just because he said it? I question that the lake of fire is a physical place in the physical universe to start with. Our God is a consuming fire. Bible says that everything will be shaken until only what...

I was referring to Epi's belief that outer darkness forever is just one of four destinies and that one being for believers who don't make the grade. Nevertheless.....the wages of sin is death and the broad way leads to destruction. And we are to fear Him who can destroy both body and soul in...

Amen. Think Epi is doing to much splicing and dicing and needs to go back to the drawing board on this.

And yet miracles were happening at the time that was written.....? Faith cometh by hearing......but the heart may need to be prepared to receive it. Jesus said signs would follow the preaching of the gospel. Jesus Himself preached the word with signs and miracles.....so faith comes by hearing...

Just a thought about the book of remembrance.......specifically for OT saints.....I believe it is God saying "I will not forget you" to those OT saints as per Isaiah. 49:15 where the crucifixion is also alluded to.....so same thing as the Lamb's book of life, except the Lamb hadn't come and been...

Maybe brother...I guess God will judge in the end. But if it were me I would prefer to be put an end to rather than consciously exist forever in bleak emptiness and darkness....? Yikes.

I don't know, I'm not your judge. I'm not even sure what your definition of cessationism is.

The context of that verse is chastisement.....the Lord chastises who He loves as sons.......that we may partake of His holiness......who has suffered in the body is done with sin. That is the judgment that begins with His house. We are experiencing it now in this life in such a way that is...

Unless it isn't. Scripture itself tells us what it is talking about.........what are the winds that are being referred to? Scripture itself tells us: Jde 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water...

Yes exactly....need ears to hear what the Spirit is saying. It's not in a literal sense, but more shall we say, poetic. Poetic license, imagery and play on words etc..

Need ears to hear. It's just an allegory Epi. And it's only the darkness that is forever, ie, death......death that they are not coming back from hence it is forever.

Just reporting what the Lord has shown me about DT. I haven't said anything about voting. He probably doesn't even know his true colours, and I believe is very capable of changing his colours anyhow...notice how he started talking about unity after being shot at. We're not wrestling with...
