Is salvation really the only thing you care about? Honest question. :)

By God? Yes. My turn. :) Can you justify him, or yourself, by your own faith?

Ah, the wisdom of God... To the humble, grace, to the proud, a fall... :lol: The blindness of man! Man says 'Let us build a tower unto heaven that we might ascend to God' Man says 'Let us build a scheme that we might be saved' But God denies them both.

Does anyone see the humor in this? :lol: YOU want to get Abraham saved! YOU are doing the attributing! MOSES wrote this about Abraham. Abraham did not write or speak about his own justification and righteousness... As a matter of fact, he didn't even write a book, no bestsellers! ;) But the...

Is Abraham self justified in his faith or counted righteous by God according to God's judgment is the question. Exo_33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will...

Amen! The dividing of truth as to make it exclusively a spiritual reality that has no effect on the physical world we live in is gnostic in nature. But this is not the truth, and not what God intends for the church... Rather the church is to manifest the life of Christ. 2Co 4:10 Always...

Thanks for sharing! :)

The meaning remains the same, you make strawmen arguments... And yet ignore when your own understanding has clearly been debunked and you have clearly changed the meaning of some words to make the verses mean something else, something that fits your own idea of the gospel, but goes against what...

Self defense is a fitting carnal response to violence... But not what we are called to in Christ. For the world to think of how it can defend itself is natural... But when those who are called to be God's children do, we have a problem. If we are minding the things of this world... Somewhere we...

You are a hot tempered man dave, unable to see what others plainly see because your pride blinds you.

Yes! :) And he desires our relationship! Finding a good lawyer so as to make God's word force him (in our own imaginations) to accept us will not pass with the Lord.

But you can be twice dead! Jud_1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 2Pe 2:19 While...

You understand what I am communicating? And yet when I told you this is not about the mosaic law (sabbath) you bring it back and say we uphold the sabbath? Interesting. :) This is about being without spot and blemish before the Lord, comformed to his standard. 2Pe_3:14 Wherefore, beloved...

You confuse nothing and yet you misunderstand everything that is being communicated! ;)

brother dave, You confuse the law of God and the mosaic law. Heb 7:16 (Christ) Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. What changes in the New Covenant is the means to fulfill the same law. Now we can by grace truly fulfill the law...

The truth is that by grace we fulfill the law of God... To pit grace against the law of God is to misunderstand the nature and purpose of these two. In doing this, men try to abolish the law by grace (or their own understanding of grace), where grace is meant as the means of fulfilling the law...

The New Testament standard is to be worshiping and exalting God every moment of every day! Rejoice always! Pray without ceasing! In everything give thanks! :)

True Christianity is about what God does in men also... Transforming them into the image of Christ. The gospel is not a powerless past tense occurrence... But a present reality. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As he empowered men to be as he is at Pentecost, so he does the same...

Amen Axehead! :) Very well said...

In re-reading I realize it might or might not be. :) All depending on whether you are using this: 'So we have a conflict between the flesh and the Law. Flesh will not come under subjection to the Law of God. ' in the same way Richard does, to say that even if we are in the Spirit, we are still...
