I just want to clarify my comment was purely humor, not meant as anything else :) God has given us many commands. It comes down to 'love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.' The rest of the commands give us an idea of what it means to...

I half agree! :) It is because it is him who lives in us, and it is by his power. But by HIS power, we are to become worthy. Colossians 1:10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 2 Thessalonians 1:11...

Again, you cannot take one side of scripture and throw out the other half. There was a man who had debt to the King. He kneeled before the king begging for forgiveness; he and his family could not repay, but if he went to prison, his whole family would starve. The King forgave him (as you...

Here's a good example :) But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court.[a] In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord Even though a man know nothing...

Then what does 'much is required mean', if it doesn't mean you can be cut off? It just means 'you should give much'? We are called to be faithful, and if we are not, we will be cut off. :) Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is...

Jesus telle me 'Fear God' and he tells me 'he who tries to save his life will lose it, and he who loses it for my sake will save it'. There is neither assurance nor love that is without fear. Answer me this one thing. If Christ says the truth when he says 'to who much is given, much is...

I'm surprised no one else wants to post on the subject ( I say this with humor) ... Everyone is posting stuff about it in threads sometimes concerning other subjects, now that it's tackled head on, no one :lol:

Exactly, he walks by the rigteousness of Christ. We have been made alive in the righteousness of Christ, and we are also to walk in the righteousness of Christ. God has made a way brother; it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me. Christ walks through us, then, and makes us like...

Hey Ducky, I'm wondering what you're referring to. Of course, as you know, I believe as you, that Jesus is God clothed in the flesh. Where though, I'm wondering, do you see that in the scripture you posted? I'm curious, it seems you see something I don't see. :)

That's right, he gave it up with the hope that through Christ, he could walk in the same righteousness and power. And that's what I'm trying to say. We weren't redeemed just to be redeemed, but for the very glory of God. It is actually an honor that we can be conformed to Christ! We must trust...

Brother, I know you do this out of love, and I love you also as a brother... But God need not to have me assured of my salvation, it works nothing. He bids us come give our lives away, that we might have lives. I do not wish to try and save this life... But throw it away for God. I wish to...

Careful though! Are you using those scriptures to deny others? Yes, Christ has paid the price and brought us before God with all our sins gone. But that means we need to be faithfull now. A woman is about to be stoned, and Pharisees ask who should throw the first stone. Christ says 'the one...

So it's a lie when it says 'not the hearers of the law, but the doers of the law are justified'? Jesus tells the rich young ruler to keep the law. The wrong is not to keep the law, that is good, it is to justify oneself by the keeping of the law. Otherwise scripture is wrong when it says the...

We are to love all, including the Jew. And let God execute judgment. We are but humble servants.

Galatians 5 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope (not assurance!) of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. Yes, faith has to work, that avails to something. (Faith without works...

Yes. Thinking that somehow being born again means we don't have to keep moving forward and bear fruit is the same mistake. We are to do the good works prepared in advance and be faithful in those. Acts 9 tells us of the story of Ananias. One day, praying in his closet, the Lord tells him 'go...

The 'good' will always be at risk. Faith and following Christ is full of risk. The work of faith is not for nought if it turns some to the light, and they walk in the paths of Christ. :)

I agree we are to refuse any lie, but we are indeed to turn the other cheek. If the enemy hate us, so be it. Let us be stoned will preaching of the glories of God! :) We are not here to worry and try to correct the world and what it does... We are here to shine the light. That alone is enough...

We have also added and subtracted. We have added that our salvation is certainly to glory, no matter what we do. We have subtracted the warnings given that if we are unfaithful servants we will be cut off from the vine.
