    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. Ps. 106:30-31 This is not about a Levitical priesthood any more than the faith of Abraham. God justifies by both works AND faith. That...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    It's the old story of the scavangers forming a mob to attack the truth. Jesus said to not give what was holy to dogs and pigs. The dogs are those who have a pecking order...obedience to the alpha dog...pastors. But pigs are egalitarian..they eat whatever is given to them without question...and...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    This is for those who have a very short attention span... God imputes righteousness without works just like He imputes righteousness by works. 2 things can be right at the same time. Check out Phinehas and how he was justified by God...imputed righteousness for killing two transgressors. Ye see...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    A false claim. The bible is accurate...the translations are faulty...if a person knows ANYTHING about bible translations they will understand.. Immature sunday school level believers will find that a scandal. I am engaged in the ministry of truth and the testimony of Christ. That's why the...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    There is a righteousness of faith...like that of Abraham. That's basic. God SEES righteousness in a person and THINKS he is righteous (chashav) the word for impute in Hebrew is the same as "to think" (machshavah). So if God thinks you are righteous that is a judgment call on what a person is...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I don't think a new translation is required. God has allowed for faulty translations...so be it. It is all in God's plan. God's ways are above our ways...and He saw fit to allow certain language groups to be under the great delusion. It doesn't matter. His sheep hear His voice. If you don't...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I do wish you understood the times and God's judgments on these things. I don't know you, but I treat others as I would want to be treated if I was as confused as I see so many are on these matters. And the wanky translations don't help. That's not a biblical way of thinking. Works justify the...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Exactly! Now you are sounding like the apostles. That IS the conclusion one must come to...this is impossible! But with God ALL things are possible. I can do all things through Christ and His grace. Now all I need is faith. :) I think most are unable to read the bible as written...they have to...

    What is the motivation behind wanting to impute God's righteousness to yourself?

    I think all his posts are funny the use of one type or another notwithstanding.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    No one can be imputed with God's righteousness....because we are not as righteous as He is. Simple truth. Righteousness is about DOING. Al of our righteousnesses are as filthy rags compared to His. But we can be justified by either faith OR works. That's what is taught in the bible. The reason...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    All these things are true...but these things can ONLY be said of those who walk in resurrection life without sin...not just the ones who are born of the Spirit but also who abide in Christ, to overcome as He also overcame. You can't read bible verses with self-interest. If you seek to save your...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    OK. But we can seek truth in the bible apart from God. The bible is a book after all. Unless we connect to the LIVING GOD by seeking Him personally..and not just finding answers in a book...then we are still doing our own will. Of course we can try APPLYING the teachings of Jesus to our lives...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The mission is only those who are covered by God's righteousness, who fulfill His will...His eternal will. He gives grace to the humble. He elevates the broken and surrendered ones who then serve Him as His servants and brothers. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. We are of this...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    OK I looked it up and Shakyamuni is the Buddha. Are you a Buddhist? The Buddha was just a man...a vessel like any mortal. Jesus is a Life giving Spirit...the Creator of all living beings. The Buddha has no life to give to others....he is simply judged by his own righteousness. But Jesus Christ...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I only said that wicked men put Jesus on the cross. Come on now. Your dishonesty is well noted. Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified. He did not crucify Himself. And your claim that God is unrighteous is unfounded.

    47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    No, God's will is done IN SPITE of what we do. Did Joseph get thrown down a well by God? was God jealous of Joseph, or his brothers? Did God tell Joseph's brothers to throw him down a well. And yet God used their evil to save the people by bringing them to Egypt. I think you have to expand...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Spoken as a true pretender. And a bald-faced liar. I don't rebuke people because they are not walking in the higher walk...that is your deafness and blindness at work. I know how impossible the higher walk is for we humans. I rebuke people because they CLAIM to be something they are not...they...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Fulfill....because the SPIRIT of the text implies that God's will is being done...not that we can claim to be elevated because we put Jesus to death...as in YAY we killed Jesus so we can become great!
