    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Everything I speak of is meant to be understood very simply by faith. People will want proof...syntax, proof-texting...etc...but the point is missed. To take apart a false understanding is beyond the scope of this forum. I present the truth in its full resolution, and no one understands it. They...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    That is false. He has declared those who enter INTO Him as clean. You are reading far too superficially...and with self-interest in mind. You need to let go of the ego to actually become cleansed. God saves us FROM our sins, not in them.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Don't make the good the enemy of the perfect. I am simply testifying the the depth of the gospel message which doesn't stop at what we have not yet experienced. I am relating the truth of the gospel in full resolution...that of a full walk in two realms at once. No...you are not reading with...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The bible attest to us sowing in righteousness (ours) UNTIL He comes and rains righteousness (His) upon us. This is true both historically in the upgrade in covenants...from the first law (Moses) to the second law (Christ). But also in our own individual lives. When we are not walking in the...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    What do you think the gospel of the kingdom is about? In the OT we are told to cry out the "good news of Zion" (Mevaseret Tsion) from the mountain top.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    One would have to have encountered holiness to understand this. Was Uzzah struck down by God when he steadied the cart containing the ark of the covenant based on a righteousness sin, or a holiness sin? Was he not simply doing what any person would do to preserve something of importance...at...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I think the translators are misguided in using "ginomai" as "to become". The context is the Lord's prayer where ginomai is used to mean "be done" or "fulfill". In that sense using ginomai to be "become" would render the text...Your will become on earth as it is in heaven...which makes no sense...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Are you sure you read the bible? But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him. Acts 10:35 Your understanding is way off... Paul is drawing attention to a holy walk in Zion....in the spiritual kingdom realm. Not something you can just claim by reading...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    We are obviously not speaking of the same thing. You would have to understand losing your life as a normal human and other people seeing you with fear and distancing themselves. It's like being a different kind of creation...a new creation. There are indeed different intensities to the higher...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Our effort our righteousness...His anointing, His righteousness. Everything in the New Covenant is built on basic righteousness. That's why repentance is necessary. We sacrifice all to buy or qualify for a gift of faith that unlocks grace and a covering in God's own righteousness. As such we...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    It's arrogant of you to think I'm following in your footsteps. My walk is my own. Not everyone is a pretender. My testimony lines up with the biblical narrative...that of experience of a walk in holiness without sin...by the empowering of the Spirit. Many throughout history have testified of...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You don't understand the power of grace. How ironic for your screen name. You are simply among the majority who have not walked in the Spirit yet. Is Christ a minister of sin? “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You don't seem to understand what I'm saying or what the testimony of the bible says. And you haven't answered any of my questions. You believe in a sinful walk, obviously...and have not yet tasted divine grace, the power over sin. The perfection is in Christ...that's why we need to enter into...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    In Christ we walk as He walked in HIS perfection. I have walked that way for 2 lengths of time. The first I lasted a few days. It was new to me and I started to feel trapped...I was far too selfish to appreciate God's miraculous walk in the Spirit. Next time was 18 years later and this time I...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The key is in the very description of the higher righteousness...it's called the righteousnes of God...so it is His. The righteousness of saints is called interestingly..."the righteousness of saints". That kind of righteousness comes about by obedience to God in the anointing of the Spirit (a...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You don't believe in holiness? What about the power of grace? What about resurrection life? What do you think being under grace means?

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Yes, there are different anointings for different purposes. raising the dead and healing the sick are for outward miracles...and these could have temporal benefits. But God hides His intimacy for those who seek Him with a whole heart, and are humble and broken. The inward miracles are greater in...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Indoctrination into badly translated verses like 2 Cor. 5:21 is rampant...and can easily be corrected. That verse should read... "He was made to be sin by us (evil men), who knew no sin, that we (who believe) might fulfill the righteousness of God in Him." It was evil men that made Jesus to...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You are too easily duped. Nowhere does it say that the imputed righteousness is Christ's own or God's own. Your error places you beyond the pale of the most ridiculous false claims yet. Those who enter INTO Christ by translation into Zion are COVERED with an anointing that causes them to...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Most believers are invited as guests to the feast of God. If we sow in righteousness we will reap in mercy. Notice the two levels of righteousness...both from OUR faith and from the faith OF Christ. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time...
