The law is meant to show sin in sinners. How do you figure we are no longer under the curse of the law? The soul that sins it shall die. The wages of sin is death. This has never changed. Only those who enter INTO Christ are under grace...a new law...a SECOND law. A law that FREES us from the...

OH my....I can't begin to describe how rife with error this is... To accept what He says about us? To accept what Jesus says about us would be to admit to being poor, naked, blind and wretched. Spiritually speaking of course.

Of course there is...but that's not what is the "new" in the New Covenant. Not a better forgiveness....but a better holiness. Not just being set apart in order to get used to being different...but the real reason for the training...to be holy since God is holy. The law is a gauge that shows...

God has agency to do that....but we don't. Our role is to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.

God sees all...future, past. For Him, everything is already determined. But we have no agency to do that. We don't know what we will be......that's why the wise fear and tremble. It's one thing to be saved...but quite another to be saved as a vessel of honour (as opposed to being a vessel of...

The fact that you take that personally shows you are living an ego-centric life. It was not meant to be personal. You are very easily offended....why? A spiritual person can suffer real abuse with joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength and refuge...no need for petty offenses. Can you...

1. Paul was speaking to people who he knew personally. As you said...tailored to people who shared the same experience. What I see is people trying to make an experience of 2,000 years ago to a specific people...and turn that into the same kind of universality as the law. 2. Is walking in the...

That's not what that means. You are trying to use a human logic..and whatever doesn't fit that logic you "spiritualize". But that spiritualization is still at the level of human logic. You are missing a whole dimension of the Spirit by claiming to apprehend something you have yet to be...

If we confess our sins...people all over the world do this....realizing they fall short of loving their neighbour and God. "He is faithful and just" (and merciful) to forgive us our sins.. this is an OT standard under the first law...that of doing the best we can and being honest will the...

For any interested in actually reading the bible...find any verse in either testament where God IMPUTES His OWN righteousness to people. Not only is this not in the bible...it leads people very far from the path of life in reality and truth. The devil has a gospel too. He wants people to name...

So far so good. As long as you are not justifying yourself with what Paul wrote...all is good. Yes....being translated int the kingdom realm... to walk in resurrection life. No. That's your false interpretation. God does not impute to others a level of righteousness equal to His own. By...

Explode? You have a vivid imagination. More like a fire, I would say. But people here are commenting on deeper things without any experience of spiritual life. Most here only know what it's like to sit on a pew on sunday..and they think that qualifies them to criticize things they have no...

It is your interpretation of Paul that is delusional. I line up perfectly with Paul's teachings. You twist and obfuscate as any false minister does. The cross is about atonement...freedom from sin...cleansing from sin. In Him is no sin. Forgiveness depends on us. If we don't forgive...

You are twisting all meaning of truth from the verse through an eisegesis based on a pre-conceived notion that is unbiblical. Your idea of discernment is actually a filtering through an indoctrination. The truth is far more simple and profound.

Yes. There is only one law of God. But historically God presents His law on 2 levels. The first level of the law is to curtail the evil in men. The second law is by the power of the Spirit. Paul says...the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. Don't be overly simplistic in looking for a...

Yes. Who shall ascend My Holy hill (Zion)? Be holy for I am holy. Jesus is our sanctification...holiness. In Him we become partakers of HIS holiness. It shows the relationship between what WE can do do be accepted and be shown MERCY....and what God can do in cleansing us from ALL sin. By grace...

It is indeed God that justifies, not people who read bibles looking for self-affirmation. So that is one level of deception that many have swallowed...that goes DIRECTLY against humility and the fear of the Lord. Another layer of the deception onion is that God imputes His own righteousness to...

Sure...but that is a vision or visitation. I have had these during the periods of my absence from the Lord. For an example...The latest one was 2 years ago while riding my bike. I was surrounded by the presence of God in an eternal peace. I was being inspected and loved. This lasted for 10...

For those who think they understand and Paul and like comparing their own spiritual adventure to his... I am NOT a boaster but my journey reflects the same events as Paul's Paul BEGAN his spiritual journey in the Spirit...having had the hands of Ananias of Damascus laid on him. I was baptized...

The fact remains, and is not being looked at honestly, how does the church of the last days, the church of Laodicea, get their true condition so wrong? How can they miss the truth to such an extent that Jesus rejects them (spits them out of His mouth). Do those who are engaged in religious...
