Same to you. If you would actually read the scripture references to understand what it is God has said, you might understand. But you keep trying to misrepresent me instead. I have made it clear several times that scripture tells us the mortal man is incapable of righteousness, and the spirit in...

Ephesians 2:5 explains even while we were "dead in sins" (of the flesh), we were "quickened" with Christ (in spirit). Salvation is a spiritual truth that has nothing to do with our mortal flesh which will one day be glorified. Our spirit is "born of God" and has no sin nature like we have in our...

Jesus is God in the flesh. He is my Savior! Only God Himself could remove me from sin. His righteousness is imputed to me by faith. To be perfect I must be made one with Him in spirit. His imputed righteousness is to my spirit, not my flesh. 1 John 4:2 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every...

Amen, agree completely. It's our understanding we cannot do thing one about our sin problem but only trust Christ to wash us from all sin through faith in Him and His redemptive work.

Until you recognize scripture for what it says, you will never know the truth. God said we have no righteousness (Isaiah 64:6, Romans 3:10)! Jesus said to believe is to do the works of God (John 6:28-29). We will always be corrupted with sin in our flesh (1 Cor. 15:45-50). Jesus said we must be...

If you consider the scripture in the OP, you will recognize how Paul was keeping commands, but that wasn't what saved him. It was only his trust in Christ. He had to lose all "confidence in the flesh" in order to "win Christ". Salvation and service cannot be combined else you create a false...

What "action" does anyone need to witness in a professing Christian for them to be justified before God? God is the "just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" (Romans 3:26). If one thinks they must see action, aren't they making themselves the justifier? The "action" required to be...

Other passages which support having "no confidence in the flesh"......... Romans 4:1-6 4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the...

That is exactly what Paul is teaching in this passage in Philippians. Also in many other passages in his epistles. Justification has always been by faith alone. In this particular passage he is specifically using himself and "circumcision" or any other form of law keeping as an example to show...

It wasn't lying, stealing, drunkenness, coveting, taking the Lords name in vain, or any other such sins of the flesh that Paul had to repent of to be saved, he had to repent of his self righteous thinking! We cannot repent "of sins" to be saved because it's the same as being justified by the...

I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to watch people stand in a burning building argue over the truth of how to get out when God made it so simple a 6 year old could understand. The problem is, some don't want to understand because then they would have to humble themselves before God. That day is...

I'm sorry but you have no clue as to what you're talking about. Anyone can post scripture, posting scripture that is applicable is something different.

Do you recognize the false gospels being taught in this forum? I talk about God's grace, yes. The level of false teaching in this forum sickens me. It doesn't sicken you?

Sure sign of a false teacher when they attack the blood of Christ. Jesus came as God in the flesh and didn't have to "overcome" sin. He was born of the Spirit and had no sin nature because the child and the mothers blood never mix. His blood was incorruptible from the time He was conceived by...

God doesn't ask us to "give our life to Christ" to be justified. His grace is freely given through faith Romans 3:24-28. If you had continued your quote from Romans 12, you would have shown that Paul told these "brethren" it was their "reasonable service". They were already saved, not trying to...

My apologies for misunderstanding your posts. The purpose for the post is to distinguish between that which is born of God, and that which isn't. Many have the idea the new creature is about their mortal life. It can and should have effect on the mortal life, but the new creature is our spirit...

You're correct. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I know several writers that are of the idea that mans books are equivalent if not greater than God's Word. It's a sore spot with me and my thinking was affected by it. My apologies to "ByGrace". The gospel is simple and cannot be compromised...

My bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 Tons of verses just like this, can't find any that say..... "except Mary".

I also highly recommend listening to Renee Roland videos on You Tube.

Yep, got to be saved first. Please get on topic!
