    Right. I like Ephesians 2:10.

    It is the "old flesh" that is the problem. We know that the old Adam was crucified with Christ. Paul referred to his Adamic nature as "The body of death" Romans 7:25.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    God sees ALL THINGS in his Son Jesus Christ. As far as God is concerned Jesus has victoriously defeated sin, death and the devil and now sits at the right hand of God as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Revelation 19:16. This means that "Whosoever that shall call on the name of the Lord...

    You are Gospel illiterate. Of course, Jesus has reconciled the whole world unto God. All that we have to do is accept it.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    There are multitudes that claim that they are Christians, but they are not. To be saved you must have faith that Jesus has delivered you from your sins. Trying to be saved by the law, works or religion is an indication of the absence of faith.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    The scripture does not say we have been reconciled unto God because we are walking in a supernatural strength called grace. Where does it say that? What it says is, "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself" 2 Corinthians 5:19.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Holiness religion tries to do in the flesh what God has ALREADY done in Jesus Christ. We have ALREADY been reconciled unto God by Jesus Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. We are ALREADY complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10. You need to accept what God has ALREADY done in Jesus Christ and enter...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    We are corruptible because we have been born after Adam. This is why Paul said, "There is none righteous, no, not one" Romans 3:10. You apparently don't believe Paul. Paul said that the law has been abolished, Ephesians 2:15. He also said that Jesus nailed the law to his cross, Colossians...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    All that come to Christ as repentant sinners to be saved by him are sealed with the Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to produce good works and make the new believer a witness for Christ and his Gospel. It is all of God, Ephesians 2:10. In Paul's congregation there...

    The law of Moses and the Law of God are the same thing. God gave the law to Moses. The spiritual law that searches the desires and the intent of the heart will condemn you in the judgment. This is why Paul said, "There is none righteous, no, not one" Romans 3:10. This includes Christians...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    All laws have evolved through the law of Moses, even the law of the land. You can call it whatever you want, but it is still the law of Moses. Saying that all true righteousness comes through Christ is a broad statement. There are 1.2 billion Catholics that believe righteousness comes from...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    We don't choose anything. God sees all that are "In Christ" as righteous, Colossians 2:10. All that we are required to do is believe it. In other words, play your position.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    There is only one law, the law of Moses. All laws have come from the law of Moses. The law of Moses covers every aspect of one's life. The law of Moses demands absolute perfection or spiritual death. "The soul that sins must die" This is why Paul said, "There is none righteous no, not one"...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    There are two aspects to salvation. The physical and the spiritual. It is heresy to confuse these two. Spiritually, Christians are perfect and complete "In Christ" Colossians 2:10. Physically they are sinners, Romans 3:10. A sinner is someone that has violated God's law. There are over...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    How are you doing living by his image and after his likeness, which is law? The law demands absolute perfection. Are you perfect? How does the atoning sacrifice of Jesus make us righteous? Where is the scripture that says that? This is what the scripture says, "But to him that does no works...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    All that come to Christ as repentant sinners to be saved by him are given the Holy Spirit. It is the work of the Spirit to transform the unbeliever into the image of Christ. However, the believer still has his Adamic flesh that he has to deal with.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    It is apparent that you believe in a holiness theology. Most holiness people believe that they can stop sinning because of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Paul never taught a holiness theology. Paul confessed that he was a sinner and struggled with sin, Romans 7:7-25. As long as we are in these...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    When Jesus died on the cross and the veil of the temple was torn from the top to the bottom, Matthew 27:51, that was the end of the Old Covenant, the law and the Jewish religion. This is why Paul said, "The just shall live by faith" Romans 1:17. The reason that Christians live by faith is...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    The purpose of the Bible is to reveal Jesus Christ and his Gospel. Under the New Covenant everything changed. All rules, laws and religion have been abolished, Ephesians 2:15, but only for Christians. Under the New Covenant the just shall live by faith, Romans 1:17.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    If it is the Gospel plus something, then it is no longer the Gospel. Only about 10% of professing Christians know and understand the Gospel, maybe that is why Jesus said, "Few there be that find it" Matthew 7:14. What most have found is religion. Religion is man's preoccupation with his own...
