Richard, how did Christ remain perfect if he had a body JUST like ours? :) The Lord bless you

Does it matter how the world feels about Americans? Or one nation? People always love those who love them, but what credit do we get for that?

No, the Spirit of Christ in us. Was Jesus in a body of flesh just like ours, yes or no? Did he overcome perfectly, yes or no? Have we received that same spirit, yes or no?

You believe that the very cross you preach has NO power to actually put to death the old man in you. Where as Jake does. the power of the cross is not to hide your sins, but to crucify them.

So Jesus didn't live in the flesh? Or he wasn't perfect? We can live fully in the Spirit while having our abode in this earhtly body. The Spirit can overcome the flesh. That is the gospel; behold, all things are new, and by the new we obercome.

:lol: Yes. Well said, Jake. :)

God bless you, BibleScribe :)

One word: Jubilee! God has his own way, and he is not into man's thinking. To think men have carnally arrived at the understanding of God's ways only reveals our own lack of spiritual understanding. :) God bless you!

So capitalism follows one principle, and that makes it Christian? Capitalism doesn't follow if your brother need a cloak, and you have two, GIVE him one. All of man's systems fail. To have something true does not mean you have the truth. And so the fact one system does ONE thing fairly, in no...

Yes, I lived in Switzerland for 7 years. Have visited since. What's your point?

You have read this before, and others have told you before, but you are unwilling to hear it :mellow: Those who walk by the spirit do not fulfill the deeds of the flesh. You have no faith in the power of the new creation. The new creation is Christ in us which empowers us to overcome by the...

Exactly! Here's something interesting. Jesus says he who does not gather with me, scatters. We think that by going to a religious meeting, we follow the command to meet together, but if we gather with a group who divides itself from other groups by doctrine, they are actually scattering the...

Communism, democracy, capitalism, all these are mens ways, just rearranged one way or another. All go against the way of the kingdom of God and are incompatible with it because they work by carnal means. To choose one over the other is to make oneself judge of what is good and what is evil...

I agree all the warnings apply. All I'm saying is that I do think there are times where one is more strongly represented than others. It also depends where. North America, I would say, is MAJORITARILY Laodicean. God bless you :)

I like your 'statement of faith'; honest and what we are called to; to learn obedience :) God bless you, and welcome here!

God saves sinners not by hiding their sins. He will forgive us if we are humble and repentant. But the power of Christ is not power to hide more sins, that is a powerless gospel, it is the power to overcome sin! By him, all things are possible. As Jake said, we are to walk as he walked. We...

If we follow the way of Christ, we would freely preach a gospel that requires man to leave everything behind. Rather man has chosen to charge much money to preach a gospel that gives free salvation. The perversion of the European and North American church is not small mistakes, but rather a...

Brother, I do not condemn America, but I do see that it's ways lead to perdition. And hey, you said they were Christian, so if that's true, they're fair game! :lol: But they are not christian, and therefore not fair game. :) You yourself have now said they are not christian, since you say...

Maybe terror is a strong word. But the presence of the Lord, to the degree that it is experienced, brings with it BOTH a degree of comfort and fear. It says more than once that we tremble before the Lord. The greater the things he shows us, the more terrifying they are. This experience actually...

Are we, by nature, Americans, Canadians, people of this world, or do we have a new nature, making us citizens of the heavenlies? We have no home here, we are simply ambassadors of another Kingdom. We cannot preach the politics of this other Kingdom (spiritual) and also teach politics of this...
