    Christians sinners now hate it while sinning? Yeah, right.

    When you haved banged around within the four walls of yourself long enough, God will bring you to Jesus, so that you can stop beating yourself up, over the multitude of sins that exponentially generate from your very OWN flesh, without you inviting it. It will be at that point that you will have...

    Christians sinners now hate it while sinning? Yeah, right.

    Thank you for admitting that WHILE YOU are walking around on this earth IN YOUR FLESH, you are STILL NOT successful at being sin-FREE. However, through your faith in the shed blood of Christ, YOU ARE made to be sin-LESS before the FATHER, by the permanent indwelling of the Spirit of Christ...

    Christians sinners now hate it while sinning? Yeah, right.

    Since you didn't list the reference of what you quoted from, I have done so with it's context. Heb. 1 [6] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. [7] And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his...

    Which view does Zechariah 14 support? Premil or Amil?

    First and foremost, one has to accept the reality between the "Age of God's Indignation" and the "Age of God's Grace", all of which has been ordered by God the Father and the Son (Elohim), before the foundation of the world. However, ever since the world was destroyed by water, in the days of...

    Do you talk to the Holy Spirit?

    And why wouldn't someone do that, is because church-ianity has visibly and foolishly demonstrated that we are to "look up" to heaven when we pray, erroneously leading us to subconsciously think that God and His Kingdom is NOT within us. Personally, to combat that deceiving imagery, I have...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I said: ALL Born Again Christians HAVE Christ's Character. Stop rushing to judgment in what you think I say, and you too will understand that the fruit of the Holy Spirit ARE the works of God that HE IS DOING within us and THROUGH us. Our OWN works, no matter how noble in appearance, is "a form...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    That is the understanding of "church-ianity". Our discipleship is based on the good works of God's Character, aka the fruit of His Holy Spirit within us, not on how many I CAN preach the gospel to, what level of financial gifts I CAN give to the church, or how many of the poor and the hungry...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    What I am saying is beyond "the wisdom of men" in the halls of visible church-ianity Stop over analyzing. I am only focusing on one topic, and that is the fruit of God's Holy Spirit (His "good works" that He DOES within us), which is the Spirit of Christ, aka "the divine nature", as revealed in...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I understand it better than you think, even that of "church-ianity". BEFORE Pentecost, "the Promise to come" was declared of the permanent indwelling of God's Holy Spirit to come to all repentant believers: Zech. 4 [6] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Please read my prior posts against the schism that is being foisted in this thread on page #23. You are missing what my emphasis is about, in item #3 of my post #460. For all Christians who are Born Again, they have the very character (mind) of Christ Himself, which is the FRUIT (good works of...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Let's not drive the act of someone "blocking" another, away from the context of the open discussion in this thread. The issue that brought all this about, is where one stands in the "dichotomy" presented by the OP. By the Grace of God through Jesus, are we: #1. saved by faith in Christ...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    So then, getting to the spiritual point of what we are to determine for what is good works, (aka godliness), there are only TWO options. 1. That which the Lord establishes within us, that is of His own divine nature. 2. That which we establish for our own selves, that is of our own fallen...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Yes, 1 Tim. 6:5 is a definite problem among the saints, that are "peppered" among all the visible churches, but the context of that problem has it's own conclusion: [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    That depends on whose "works" are being manifested within us and through us. Is it the Spirit of Christ doing His good works in us and through us, or are WE doing good works by our ownself, which is self righteousness, seeking a reward?? Gal. 5:13-26 [13] For, brethren, ye have been called unto...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    A schism among those who ARE the invisible body of Christ IS a sin. MW Dictionary: DIVISION, SEPARATION also : DISCORD, DISHARMONY a schism between political parties 2a: formal division in or separation from a church or religious body (ie.the members in this forum). b: the offense of promoting...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    As for how I walk in the Lord's grace for the forgiveness of sin, cannot be judged by that which is "the wisdom of men", "who suppose that gain [in the getting] of worldly riches, [or even that of "the wisdom of men"] is godliness. 1 Cor. 2 [12] Now WE HAVE RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I think that the words of the Holy Spirit through James is a better judge of that, than you or I. James 3 [13] Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his WORKS [of wisdom] with [God's] meekness of wisdom. [14] But if ye have bitter...

    The Last and Final Evil Kingdom of Daniel

    Have you considered the following understanding, referencing the historical record of 1 Maccabees ch. 1-4? KJV Dan 7:8 I considered the [10] horns, and, behold, there came up among [but not of/from] them another [separate] little horn, before whom [prior to himself] there were three of the...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    As with the people questioning Jesus in His day, so also are there those today, asking the same question, but are "fit to be tied" in blindness  by His answer: John 6 [28] Then said they unto him, What shall we DO, that we might WORK the works of God? [29] Jesus answered and said unto them, THIS...
