Yes...that's pretty much what I've said, lol. Seems I might have derailed a bit with the "works" def...sry! It's pretty elementary that one is never, ever saved by works, nor made righteous by works. Yes, our "faith" is accounted as righteousness.

"Even though we do not have the works that would make us righteous" Would not these be the "good works" that God has already set out for us to walk in? Or do you mean the works of The Law?

Yes, agreed that impute means to attribute. So, in this one case, where "faith" is counted as righteousness does that mean that it is like, "going to be" credited or "will be" credited when one finishes the race? Like a down payment?? :D Romans 4:22-25 "Therefore it was also CREDITED TO HIM...

"If people don't judge others...they won't be judged themselves." Yes. Something we all should be constantly aware of. When somebody judges another, it say's more about the person doing the judging.

Is there a difference between imparted righteousness and imputed righteousness? Have to check that one out. And do you think about 1 Corinthians 1:30 ? "It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and...

Actually, I too am spending way more time in The Word than ever! And yes, I totally agree that we will not be deceived, or will be much less likely to be, when we keep His Word at the forefront of our minds. Since "The Word" is Christ...we are keeping Him as our "first love"...always first :)

"Even the best of us can be deceived." Yes, and that is frightening. We should always be aware in our spirits...discerning.

Oh so VERY comforting! And, thank you :)

I too thought it was created as a bio weapon. Now, the picture becomes clearer to me every day. We as Christians should "trust no man", especially when it comes to the worlds 'leaders'. If so much of a thing makes no sense then, I believe it is smoke and mirrors. And, when one follows the...

Yes! And God not only uses His willing vessels but, also the disobedient He will use to fulfill His purposes. He knows the end from the beginning of time so, we make choices, good or bad and He will make ALL things to the good of His children. And He will fulfill all He say's He will, :)

True G. It seems to me that the "fear factor" in all of this has effected more liberals than not. It's not so strange to me there as, "fear" is not of God.

I think you look just fine. You are a woodsy kinda guy! :)

Too kind Bobby Jo but, thank you :)

Hello n2thelight. Weather pre post or mid trib rapture, I always think of His perfect will, when all is said and done, as being "on earth as it is in heaven. And since our minds cannot conceive of what heaven is truly like, we can only speculate along with what Jesus told us about it. I...

It's actually nice to see the face of those we fellowship (and ARGUE WITH, lol) on here. It also somehow helps with prayer too :)

Update on the girls from my nephews wife: "This one is long. When I made this page, my primary reason was so that I could quickly and easily update everyone on our girls and be as transparent as possible, good or bad, so that the girls could have an army behind them. Today, at 29 weeks, we’re...

:D

Congratulations on your 2nd great! WHEN these twins are born, healthy...they will be my 4th great nieces! Have 3 great nephews and one great niece now. :D

Thank you Helen. Yes He is "well and able..." xo

For sure, and AMEN! My nephew did a stint in Afghanistan and of course, has PTSD as pretty much all who have had to fight in wars without terms of engagement, uniforms...whole different thing. His mom (my sis) gives him a pass on just about everything, because of his tour in Afghanistan. I...
