The Law of Moses being given to Israel manifested the love of God to them, and eventually to the world! He chose a “people,” which could have been any nation, to establish knowledge and faith in Himself. First, He must inform man of his guilt before Him, in order that that may choose to believe...

Perhaps no one subject is more replete with blessedness than the glory of the Bride, the Lamb’s wife. Whether we look at the grace that first brought us into it, or whether we look at the unfolding of this love in the glory of the marriage; however we look at it, it is simply beyond description...

Yes, through our new nature (new man) God "works in us" (Phl 2:13). Otherwise we would continue to be dominated by our old nature.

Are there any troubles in your life that you would like to be gone? If you’re a believer, which is one who is on your way to heaven, you can be trouble-free. Not problem free, which causes us to exercise our faith in God’s care, and allows us to be completely obedient to God! When the Lord Jesus...

We definately agree here!

Yes, once one established union with God in Christ it is a connection that will be for eternity! Only the false professors have no connection with Christ, which are many. The sin nature (old man) still tempts us to evil, but now our sin is not intentional, and this is where God wants us, in...

Salvation is a deliverance wrought by the divine work on the Cross, so as to bring us out of one position into another. It is true we are morally changed, but we want more than that—though whoever has got that will surly have all the rest (knowing right and wrong gives understanding of good and...

The law is neither the ground of life to the sinner (it being “taken away” - Heb 10:9—NC), nor the rule of life to the Christian (was intended only for Israel—NC): the Lord Jesus is both the one and the other—He is our life (Col 3:4), and He is our rule of life! The law can only curse and slay...

It's my understanding that the new heart is the result of being saved, not the cause for salvation (and not saying you're saying this, just stating a fact). The sole cause as we know is Christ's expiation for all our sin, which we have upon receiving Christ.

Yes, free to choose or not choose God, but not free from the dominion of sin if unsaved. We are slaves to the sin nature (old man) until freed in Christ!

In our relationship with the first Adam we had no freedom at all (sin had its dominion – Rom 6:14—NC), the members of the old Adam being under obligation to furnish personal righteousness before God (an impossibility before Christ came—NC), as moral beings responsible to Him (not just obedience...

When one is reborn there is a present possession of "all things that pertain unto life and godliness" (2Pe 1:3); and is gradually manifested in our continued learning to "walk as He walked." It shows that we are already have all we need as we continually apply it all. We presently have the...

Amen, we are "transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Rom 12:2), by the Spirit using Christ's Life (Col 3:4). But it's new, meaning not using anything from the old man--all new.

Amen we are "newborn" by the Spirit. He is the Creator of our new nature!

Only those who continue in salvation are reborn. If you permanently leave salvation behind and stop professing it, it shows all you left was a profession of grace, and not a possession of grace.

I haven't encountered anyone that posts regularly that claimed to be an atheist; and those reborn cannot ultimately be deceived (Mat 24:24), for God ensures their salvation. It's only the hypocrites and apostates that are deceived.

Yes, "dead unto sin," that is dead to sin's guilt and dominion, but not it's temptations, which keeps us exercising our faith in Christ's atonement (Rom 6:11); and "reckoning" doesn't make it so because we are already dead, then reckon it so for application.

No one reborn desires to sin, but they know the old man still causes us to sin. But it's sinning impulsively, like anger, jealousy, envy, etc., not "willfully" (Num 15:25, 30; Heb 10:26).

I don't think there are any who deliberately try to deceive others on any of the Christian sites.

I wouldn't communicate with one who is not honest.
