Jesus does bring division in that he divides between the Pharisee and the disciple, and between the spiritual and the carnal... But he brings no division between those who are his, rather he prays that they be one. The confusion and madness that you display all the while setting yourself up as...

LOL :lol: It's highway robbery!

So the body is divided, brilliant! :rolleyes: All in one body, some saved by law, some by grace, and the other 83 gospels that come with that. So much for Christ being the way.... According to you, he's the 'ways'! Jesus according to dan p: "I am the ways, the truths, and the lights, whoever...

You confuse man's imagination with a reality. Paul and John tell those to whom they send their letters that they DO have life in Christ, and that they ARE seated in heavenly places because it was a reality for them. God had put them there... And they truly were walking in him. You take those...

The body of Christ is one more image for Israel, the saints, the bride... It is already clear when Christ prays that those who follow him would be one with him and with the Father. One with him, his body, doing his works. You work according to carnal reasoning, without eyes to see.

Uh, yeah. 1 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that...

You always repeat the same things Richard, one verse + your own understanding. But you provide no explanations for the verses provided that show your interpretation to be faulty. Blessings! ;)

Ah! But receiving the Holy Spirit does not mean the END of our salvation! Rather it is an entering into... But the race is still before us. :) After all, it says that those who have tasted of the heavenly gift, of the Spirit, can fall away... 4 For it is impossible for those who were once...

My grace is sufficient for you, my strength is made perfect in weakness. By faith Sarah received strength to conceive. (Heb. 11) By faith we have access into grace. This all speaks of one thing... Paul concludes Heb 11 with... 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should...

Did you remember to put a title to your post? Can't think of anything else... Hmmm

Ok. having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. (Col. 2:12) We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father...

Was Abraham justified by faith before or after being circumcised? Before. :) Baptism is a sign both to the world and to the powers and principalities that we have died with Christ, and are raised with him. To be of the saints, we must now walk this way!

Thus it is indeed by faith and not of works... That we put on Christ, thus being like him! ;)

I believe there will be a time before that... A time where the bride is made without spot or wrinkle, just before his coming, and then many will have to die for their testimony... :)

I will also add... If we wisely add this verse with the words of Jesus that 'blessed are those who hunger for righteousness, for they will be satisfied', Paul and Jesus are basically saying the same thing. The one who 'believes on him who justifies the ungodly' is not one who desires to be...

The consitution is according to a kingdom of this world... While the Bible testifies of a kingdom that isn't... They speak of quite different things, I would say! We are to live by a heavenly code, and draw from a heavenly life. We are subjects to the law that all righteousness might be...

Well, if truth is Christ, and we are both IN him and WITH him, then we rejoice both IN truth and WITH truth, right... ;) Good post, Redeemed! I am first to admit I need the refiner's fire, the wisdom, the love... Because sometimes I fall out of it. May we all learn our lessons and come to walk...

Hi Mia :) Showing hatred is never the way to go... And much of that has been done in the name of religion. I think that's unrighteous, and doesn't please God. On the other hand, I am not for the 'merging of religions' for the sake of peace. I am all for loving men no matter what. But uniting...

1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. Anybody can just quote a verse, Richard. Your interpretation of the verse doesn't fit with the rest of scripture.... Like Paul continuing to say... 11 And do this...
