The Kingdom of God does not compete with the kingdoms of this world, it subverts them. Let the dead burry the dead, but let us follow Christ. We don't walk by the law, but according to life, the life of Christ.

Yes! The church and Christianity is not an end, as Big Picture said, it is a means! It is so that we would learn to know God in spirit and walk in truth. We think being Christian is the point... It's not.

Yes! You said it! This modern Christianity that says 'Jesus got it' (to say we need to do nothing) is not simply off, but it goes directly against the message of Jesus Christ. We've come to say 'to whoever much is given, nothing is expected'. Modern 'churchianity' is often diametrically...

Carefull! Acts 19:11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. 13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to...

Here's what I would say (if I understood the question right) Christ could was fully God, not because he did not have our nature... As you say, neither did Adam. Only when Adam was tested, he failed. Christ was tested in every way as we are, and yet he did not fail, and did not fall once.

Good point! Something we too easily forget... Looking forward to seeing more of what you have to say.

And his leading is by the Spirit ;) Those who are the sons of God are led of the Spirit :D

The children of Abraham are now his children by faith. We walk according to a new creation and not the old. All those who overcome with Christ will rule and reign with him in the New Jerusalem. :) Lord bless you, my brother

Love your honesty, Josant. It's true, one is not Christian because of beliefs and because of what they claim. We are Christian when we walk in the life of Christ, therefore fulfilling his righteousness. How? We come to God in humility, admitting our blindness and asking him to reveal his...

Indeed. We must keep our mind on Christ. As it says; 'be still, and know that I am God'.

Haha... Glad to have you back Aspen! You sure haven't wasted any time, already 32 posts ;) The Lord bless you

Welcome here! :) The Lord bless you

Yes! The world constantly goes from one to the other, it worries about who is behind and who is in front. As followers of Christ, we must be very carefull not to follow the pattern of the world. The woman is under the man's authority, but is not 'less than man'. She is his helper. In the end...

Nice to have you here ajdiamond :) The Lord bless you

Amen! Good post brother! :) We get to choose NOW between the tree of Good and Evil and the tree of Life, which is Christ. Eternal life is begins now.

I think we must do all things in love with the purpose of building up the body. The very fact we've turned our Christianity into an institution and an organization has cost us it's simple ways. Christianity is not about organization, but about love and freedom in the Spirit. Our only job is...

I like what you say, there aspen. We are called to love, and we are called to life. And let God judge between good or bad. It is so intricately woven into our being we don't even realize it! "How was your day?" means did you have more good times than bad times... Our whole life is centered...

I would say... The edification of the body. :)

It's neat that this subject is brought up! A brother was talkng to me about this... :) The sin, he said, is that we chose the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. By this, we chose to have both good times and bad times. Now God is not the God of 'good times', he is the God of life! Which is...
