You're right, I can be presumptuous. I apologize for that, but I tend to speak to everyone as a singular entity, for the most part, while struggling to track the details of individual takes on the various bones to which they cling. Your feedback is duly noted and appreciated.

All glory to God; I am blessed. I will not; it stems from my faith. You are correct; but you don't see how it actually works for not understanding "saved" or "obedient" as expressed and taught by the Apostles. John said "All things through Him were created, and without Him, not one thing...

I'm going to lay some truth on you both. I doubt either of you will regard it, but they are the express ideas of God, per His Word. God is in complete control. Nothing is out of His control. He has all control. This is what omnipotent means. You see Him irreverantly; He permits you to believe...

You contend to limit the power of God, saying what He cannot do. Neither John nor I say such. Jeremiah 32:17-19 details the God of Whom I speak: 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. 18...

I thought we had some agreement, but you reason like a pharisee; refusing to observe the definitions of words for understanding. I state a direct Biblical truth, "God is all-powerful" and you state in opposition, "He can't do what He said." To which I reply, "He already does." At which you...

But you said "it won't always and forever be," which is your agreement with the statement it followed, is it not? I mean, saying it won't "always be" what you just said "it is" which is "that which it should not be" means You agree that the present is not as it should be.

What is possible is inaccessible to you because you simply refuse to believe it.

You are not making the point here you seem to presume to be. Your quote is in express agreement with everything I have been saying.

The only thing to practice is belief. We have no power otherwise. You are assuming responsibility for that which you cannot control, so of course the practice as you attempt it will fail. God is all-powerful; believe Him.

David said there are limits to all perfection. God has no limits. What is it to be perfect? Who determines that definition? We are being perfected. Can you imagine what that looks like? Such an imagination, Biblically founded, would not be vain; indeed, it would lead to reverence for God...

The letter is what you are getting hung up on, this notion of "perfection at present" being part of the equation. It only looks that way because parts of the formula being applied are incomplete or inaccurate. That's why the Apostles say things like "we who are being saved" and often use a...

I fundamentally disagree with this statement as I believe God when He says He is: omnipotent; all-powerful; omnipresent; all-being; omniscient; all-knowing; irresistible; all-glorious. To determine for ourselves that the present is not as it ought to be according to the Word of God, then by...

You read the first four words, didn't you? :)

I believe you are truly seeking Him. I will share with you how I found God. Step 1. Read the Bible Step 2. Look up every word you do not have a CERTAIN definition for or have not referenced at least once Step 3. Believe what you read Practice it until it becomes habit until it becomes Life...

My apologies, I missed this. Didn't Jesus say something to the effect of, "be perfect, therefore, as your Father is perfect?" So my answer is yes, someday. I am not presently perfected but have sufficient personal experience to support my certainty that I will not be harmed by the second death.

I admit I have not read many of your posts, but this one in particular resonates deeply with me. I am quick to hope I have found a brother, and impetuous in my application of the term at times, but it is for fervor of the God with Whom I hope to commune among with understanding. We are each a...

Obedience to God is not only part of salvation, but the very indication of it.

Those filled with the Spirit do live precisely as they please; in obedience to God.

Theology comes from two Greek words. First is 'Theos,' which means "God," and 'logos,' which kinda means "word" but the actual Greek word for "word" is 'rhema.' The word 'logos' is the one John equated with God, saying that God was the Word. That word means more like "discourse, expression...
