Welcome here, ByGrace! Greetings in the Lord! :) You already have Nicky as a friend I see, are you, by any chance, also from CF&FF?

:lol: Well this is interesting! And is going to be... ;) Blessings to you Nicky! :)

That is true. Looking forward to it.

I don't disagree with that. But when it comes to great depth, walking in the Spirit and being as Christ, I do think some will be awakened when we move into this. When Paul wrote this, he did consider Israel at the moment cast away, but said it would not be forever. That doesn't mean none will...

Yes! If the head is crucified... Does the body somehow still live? In the same way, can we be any different from him, when we truly are walking as his body, in the fulness of it? We must move on always to reach such a place where it is truthful for us to say 'it is no longer I who lives, but...

Hey ByGrace... I like your statement of faith! Always good to hear of people running the race to attain him! :) May the Lord bless you

Oh no! That is not what I meant. I was merely adding to what was being said... Bringing another angle, if you will! :) Is that adressed to me, or Insight? If me, I'm very willing to see what you would have to say. Go right ahead!

Well explained! All the servants of the Lord point to God when anyone would worship them... Except Jesus! (Rev. 19:10) Jesus is God in the flesh, he came down. The fact that God can dwell in man is the foundation of new life. Jesus was the first to be have the fullness of God dwelling in...

I agree with your point, a (physical) Jew is no different from any other man. :) I would say one thing to this though. My understanding of what Paul says in Romans is that indeed, there will be a time where the religious Jews, those who read the Torah, will see the light. That is, when we...

This way! :) Or number one and three (there are the same), but definitely not number two. We must be very careful not to claim the gospel with one breath, and deny it's power with the other. If we walk in full surrender to Christ, by the Spirit, filled as say Stephen was when he was stoned...

The children of Israel had the promised land as an inheritance. God was ready to deliver it up to them, and it was theirs! But except for Caleb and Joshua, they did not walk by faith, and because of this, they did not enter. Our inheritance is Christ, already, if we are his children, he is...

:lol: The difference is that atleast people aren't lying to themselves about what they really are, they know it's a put on, and the next day they can have a good laugh about it... I'm talking about halloween, of course! Avoid even the appearance of evil. Just doesn't jive! Christmas...

Hello Nicky! :) Are you... Nicky from CF&FF? Just wondering... Blessings in our Lord!

Quite the opposite once again. We say 'yes, God HAS, thus now IF we...' The word says both, thus we believe both. The word says both, you only believe the one that advantages you. Tell me then, to what end are you using the scriptures? To justify and save your own skin. Which the Lord...

No, very much to the opposite. This revelas quite interestingly what it is that you don't understand, Richard. You see two option, 'law' and 'belief'. You miss the true one, which is faith, faithfulness, fidelity which gives us access to the power of God, grace, by which we stand. The option...

Well said. A brother told me the same thing using different words; the verses that seem certain speak of God's faithfulness to us, that verses that leave it open for choice talk about our faithfulness, which we are free to continue in or leave. For example, Jesus says that NONE given to him...

Welcome here, Pomp! :)

Personally, I look at halloween and it's roots, and find it to be a crazy thing. Halloween was based on the idea of dressing up as evil beings to scare evil beings away, what a crazy idea! But in that sense it reflects spiritual warfare... The completely wrong way, and an evil way. I...

32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD (YAHWEH) Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls. (Joel 2) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe...

Solid post, Insight. The modern idea of 'free salvation' and grace as 'unmerited favor' goes against the very call of following Christ and running the race. It is an anti-gospel that so fears the idea of works (without understanding what it actually means) that it opposes itself even to the...
