Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Rom 4:4-5) O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before...

We find that as we do allow Scripture to interpret Scripture, we see that the Prophecies have been fulfilled literally, so why should we now begin to take a figurative/'spiritual' approach to the future fulfillment of prophecies?

Exactly. It is sad that so often we are subtly turned from Christ back on to ourselves.From start to finish Salvation (sanctification included) is 'extra nos' (outside ourselves).

For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, the Messiah died for the ungodly. For it is rare for anyone to die for a righteous person, though somebody might be brave enough to die for a good person. But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that the Messiah died for us...

Bell, emergent church et. co.?....Liberalism, repackaged to look hip.

Pooh. Luther was of the same age. Though he had sting, he loved love, music and good beer. Calvin was immersed in bringing heaven to earth through the law. Luther believed it would come through the Gospel. Luther made his mistake by turning on the Jews because of their resistance to the Gospel...

Yes Jesus is paramount. But suppose Jesus taught Paul to reveal to the Gentiles something which was not revealed by the Prophets or the Synoptic Gospels? And suppose Paul revealed that if he or an apostle or an angel gave forth another Gospel other than the one he preached, he or she was to be...

Veteran, Acts 10 is hardly early Acts. Peter had already been given an open door to the Gentiles through the vision. Regarding the article I quoted... you proved nothing to the contrary. Then you proceeded to 'smoke us' with the 'ol illuminati' conspiracy theory. Try to stay on point without...

From Charles Baker's Dispensational Theology Ecclesiology section For those who say the church, the Body of Christ started in Acts 2... 1) There was already a church that existed at Pentecost (Acts 2:41 says they were added). A thing must exist before it can be added. The church that existed was...

Butch, If you compare Peter's preaching from Paul's, for the most part , not only the people and approach is different but so is much of the content.

I am not that proficient on the subject but here is a clip that makes sense taken from here...http://www.matthewmcgee.org/2gospels.html Peter's Gospel and Paul's Gospel Both Peter and Paul taught that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, that he was crucified, and that he rose from the dead on...

Well yes, I was just going by your 'piece' quote at the top of your post..."Verse 20 , " I am crucified with Christ " . and teaches us 4 things" .

We shouldn't forget the end of vs. 20...'with Christ'. His death is our death. We need not through fleshly effort trying to mortify ourselves but already reckon ourselves to be dead to the law,sin,the flesh and the world.

OK, let's say you are dead as a door nail and not just 'separated from the Source of Life. God's spoken Word containing the Gospel message comes to us quickening us to Life. The next day we may boast "I made a 'decision for Jesus' but it may take a few years to realize it was all of grace.
