Yes he does; point being when he refers to Christ in believers he uses the word mystery. But on the other hand he said that mystery has been revealed, so whether a believer ever sees if or not it is available for all to see and know, because it has been revealed. There is no mystery in God now...

Not a birthed son! As the born again

Ok, sure I understand. I have a question if I may? Why would God provide a cross, and his only son would die there, if there had been the possibility of a human being able to live up to his standards without taking out the old man. Ok take a look at like this; in the OT we see men did great...

You know if we all would admit we have a fog in our understanding we might be better off. I got one quick word on changing our old life. Quiting habits, someone is always coming to me needing to change their habits. Problem with that is Christ in you has no bad habits, how about seeing him as...

Ok try this in your study time, look to see if you can find God as father anywhere before the cross. He was father but to just one, the Son. You have to have a father for there to be a birthing, Lucifer was called "son of the morning" but that was a given position not a birthed position. We know...

"I am crucified with Christ" that means you are going to do something to make room, if you will, for this new knowledge. That is paul saying "I am crucified," a conscience knowing of what has happened to him at the cross. I think we can back up a bit and see there is a particular time after Paul...

Yea I know I'm kind of a nerd sometimes :) the main point is it is Christ as the doer now. What ever you are doing, as a Christian according to scripture you can see it as christ your life. Your home life, your Christian life, whatever we are doing in life. It is Christ in you the hope of glory...

2 Corinthians 1:10, 10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; (1) Who delivered us from so great a death (the cross-sin nature out-spirit-Christ in-you in Christ-completed human being). (2) and doth deliver (the ongoing renewing...

Thank you for commenting, enjoyed reading well put together. I'll see if I can give my understanding. Paul acknowledges that Christ lives is in him now, and if that's so it is different than just coming into the world and being a reactor to life (previous life). If he is just going to react to...

What I'm saying is there were no born again saints in the OT. They had a relationship with God but is was soulish, what Christian's have is spirit relationship, born again relationship. Just like our earthly parents birthed us, accept now it is our Heavenly father that has birthed us in spirit.

The many Christians today are trying to change their old man. They have no concept of Christ as their new life. Instead they work to beat out the old way of living and be a better person, and that is what is called a Christian today. The problem with that is God never tells us to change our old...

Yes that does makes since. Look at the verse again, Paul said he lived by the faith of Jesus Christ. Most translations of scripture have taken that out and it reads! faith in Jesus Christ. Why? Because our beloved translators I suppose could not understand Paul's plain speaking to a point. Look...

Before Jesus coming into the earth, the cross, and Penecost, man only had a outer relationship with God, a God to people relationship. Since then it is all an inner relationship with God. To go outside of yourself to look for God is like Jesus said would happen; the day would come when they say...

Thanks for commenting. Compared to all scripture we have that is a real stretch to say he won't remain in you, (my paraphrase) unless you do something to keep me. What do you do with all the scriptures? I'll never leave you nor forsake you" is really a statement people cannot get around. I have...

Ephesians 1:4. 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: The church; believers know it is a group of called out ones, chosen to be in Christ before the foundation of the world (what that means is; if...

So are you saying to make the cross work it is up to the believer to make it work? I see where you are coming from, the problem is there is not scripture for your theology. To call the in Christ message of the cross dogmatic is absolutely true. Scripture puts the death of the believer in Christ...

Paul said he lived by the faith of Jesus Christ, I'm not really seeing where he talks about his faith can you explain? can you explain 1 John chapter 1 that says we do sin. Sinning shows no death, what about the cross that Paul preached and the death of every born again believer, with all due...

I can only see where Paul lived by the faith of another in this verse. What theological statement was paul making?

Do you know what scares some Christians away from pure grace? correct, they see it as a life lived in any form and fashion imaginable. Anyone that lives a lifestyle that seperates them from their father has placed themselves in a worse bondage than they had as a sinner. As a sinner at least it...
