That figures...

You know, @Heart2Soul, you're on staff. You can probably move this thread over to testimonies very easily.

Will he clarify, is the question.

Receive it. Knowing that a major aspect of this gift is that God satisfied His justice through propitiation...that He might be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.

Maranatha!

Abraham believed in the LORD; and it was accounted to him for righteousness (Genesis 15:6). So you're saying that you believe that the Spirit of Christ has nothing to do with the new nature? Because you were previously contending that a person becomes saved by receiving the new nature. How...

The unbeliever is already "off"...for he is dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1). Except that they are not able to choose to do good or choose Christ. So to inform them of that would be informing them of a lie. This is the only righteousness that unbelievers are capable of...and they...

People looked forward to the promise of Messiah. Even Adam and Eve had revelation of what would come through the proto-evangelion statement in Genesis 3:15. This statement is....where? The only atonement that is even sufficient is the atonement of the Cross. Animal sacrifices wouldn't cut...

There's no doubt about it...God is love (1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16).

That's a good question... I wonder if he'll answer it.

In John 17:3, the word "and" can be translated "even". But let's not make this thread a long argument over the Trinity...

I love this testimony!

Thanks... Looking forward to seeing it.

Here? An Awesome Vision!

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Even as Jesus told the leper whom He healed, to tell no man, but go and shew thyself to the priest. Leprosy is a type of sin; and while the leper was completely cleansed, Jesus told him not to tell anyone that he...

Abiding is accomplished by continuing to place our faith in Jesus...there is no self-effort in that. "sinning not" is merely the result of abiding...it is not anything that we strive to do. It has to do with resting in the sufficiency of the Cross. No, I did not get that from you.

Yes, that is what I'm saying. And again, the righteousness which is of the law is as filthy rags, Isaiah 64:6. The righteousness which is by faith is fine linen, clean and white, however (Revelation 19:8 (kjv)). See also Philippians 3:9. It is not of him who wills (John 1:13, Romans 9:16)...

There is only one interpretation to every scripture (Proverbs 1:6 (kjv)). More insight can, however, be gained when we compare scripture with other scripture (1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)). Concerning "enduring to the end"...that verse is interpreted by Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2...

No you didn't. They are still right there in my post. Most often, those who preach on obedience are decried as legalists by the unredeemed. It is par for the course. And I bring the law to bear on any subject because I am a true evangelist...and therefore I exalt the law to make it...

God's righteousness, given as a gift (Romans 5:17), is practical in nature (Matthew 5:6, Romans 5:19, 1 John 3:7).
