Wow... Amen guys! It is the gospel of the Kingdom! :) Our being born into the kingdom is the new creation! We are a new creation in him when we are born INTO the kingdom of God! Just thought of this...

Amen Shirley! Let it be the desire of our hearts to be as he is! To be one with him, and with the Father! :)

What gives him more glory than a man perfectly comformed to him? Isn't Christ the one who gave glory to God more than any other? We are just vessels, men know this. They are incapable of doing what Christ calls us to, as we are in our own power. If we walk in his power, and testify to it, they...

I believe that if a man give himself over completely and fully to Christ, he can receive faith to move mountains and walk in perfect communion with the Father. It is nothing of his power, but the power of Christ in him. Of course, because our character needs refining, man falls from this. But...

I agree! When the Lord makes us weak so that we need him, it actually ends up being a blessing if we look to him. They couldn't care for an institution, and a system, because it's sucking everything they have anyways, so they need the life. We, on the other hand, are on the receiving end of...

Very much worth repeating :) Jesus took on flesh just like ours, and overcome. Then he gave us of his spirit. We are made of exactly what he was, which means we can be just as he is! If we would follow the same leading that is offered us.

All, black, white, Jew, greek, gentile, have been made one in Christ. The new covenant is one of Christ making peace between all who would come to him, and makign a new creation in him. This thread misses the whole point of the gospel, and gives the message of the Bible a whole different...

Yes. Just like the idea that before it was by the law, now by faith. When in reality it always was by faith, but to have faith in God means to obey him out of the heart. It has not changed. But now we have new life available so that we can walk in the fulness of grace and faith! :)

I don't mean suffering as only physical, Rach, I agree :) All who live godly will suffer persecution. One way or another, if we step out with Christ, we will suffer, though. Not necessarily right aways, and it's not a rule or anything, but it's the nature of how the world reacts to Christ. :)...

Yes. I think the corruption is very deep. There is a quote that I honestly think is brilliant: "Christianity started out in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a...

No no no. Not at all Shep. I would readily believe the Lord has called you to do this, and IN this to serve him, that is very possible. I think of George Muller. But our faith is not politically based. We help people, but not with political tools, rather with spiritual ones. We might do it...

Anything else is to try and rebuild the middle wall of partition, that Christ destroyed, to make within him one new man.

I agree with Buzzfruit. That's what I'm trying to say Shep. :) I think what you do is really good, it's a righteous thing to do, and I'm glad you do that! But that is not, in itself, the calling of Christ for his disciples.

Yes. :) When we think we already have laid hold of every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies, we usually start holding on to earthly ones, thinking we can have both. It is not even that the person is trying to do wrong, it is that the heart is deceitful! When we think we have arrived, we...

Hi all! :) The Lord Jesus Christ says the following to the Church of Laodicea: 17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried...

Thanks, rocky ;) Nice of you!

Yes. Now man has been given the grace to walk as Jesus walked. We now receive the life of him in us, that we may be just as he is.

The epistle to the Ephesians. Ephesians 6:12 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

He who deny's me before men, I will deny him before my Father in heaven. We must understand that the gifts are without repentance, that is, the gifts of the Spirit. As long as we live, the anointing we have been given is available to us. Only if we use it for ourselves or do not use it all, we...

If by 'the book of the race' you mean that it calls us into the spiritual race to attain the prize that is Christ, you are correct... Otherwise you've got alot of scripture you'll need to be denying! ;)
