    Reader please. This man knows not much. First...Maran atha is ARAMAIC and it means the Lord is coming...or has come. Semitic languages use the past tense at times to denote the future. As in a done deal. No you are not. :) Remember...casting down imaginations...the first step in spiritual...

    No. I have operated in many of the gifts..including interpretation of tongues...only once, in the assembly where I stood up and was speaking at the same time as the one speaking in a tongue. Everyone KNEW it was not from men. But I am more prophetic in my gifting. How about yourself?

    False. Every person is responsible for their own actions...especially believers. There is a judgment coming on the house of God..and it's gonna get hot. false again. It was evil men that made Jesus to be sin. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. If you want to understand the...

    The Holy Spirit IS God. God is Spirit. As such we can impute God's righteousness to the Holy Spirit. And we can impute God's holiness to the Holy Spirit. And we can be correct. To impute God's righteousness to a created being is actually idolatry.

    That's not how judgment works. We will be judged not for what Jesus did...but for what we did with what we have been given. ALL outward behaviour is imputed to the person doing it. Even though, yes the saint has God working through him...the works are attributed (imputed) to the saint. The...

    If I ask someone....do you have God's righteousness? Many will err greatly and say, yes. OK Show me that righteousness! Puzzled looks ensue. If I ask someone if they have the gift of tongues..a few will say..yes. OK... show me the gift. Then they will proceed to babble on for an unreasonable...

    Your confusion is maybe not the same as other readers. I have tried to explain to you the difference between a gift and imputation. But your pettiness will now take over, completely ignoring what I said. In your own mind, perhaps. You never ask for clarity but look only to accuse and claim...

    The only people that could impute the righteousness of God to a human...are other humans. And they would be wrong. That would be idolatry. God doesn't impute HIS righteousness to anyone...because no one is as righteous as He is.

    LOL. I have a sense of humour...but come on. ;) Not of WORKS lest a man boast. You want to destroy faith as well? See, you are twisting the bible into a pretzel here. Oh my. What do you drink with your pretzels? :beermug:

    I suppose I have to answer this post as it does raise up something that needs to be taught. 1. A gift is NOT the same as having something imputed to you. Explanation: "The sound came from the engine." The sound was imputed to the engine. Do we say...the sound was a GIFT to the engine? Well, if...

    Thank you for your contribution. You actually address the OP...which is kind of rare these days. I think we all have to do our due diligence where it comes to being responsible to God for our spiritual direction. To each his own. I rely not so much on what other people have found to be...

    Even demons believe in Jesus, and they tremble. Do you tremble or are you religiously smug? You demean what faith is. You have to come out of your indoctrination and actually seek the Lord. For real.

    You are confusing righteousness and holiness...again and again. The bible doesn't call Abraham a holy prophet. Yes, there were holy prophets...anointed by God to speak His words. But that was also based on the law. Remember the kind of mercy that Elijah (a holy prophet) showed to the 50 men that...

    What you have to understand is that it is essential to believe INTO Christ. Don't be deceived.

    You are not understanding how God judges, God has no favourites...if you trust Him he will justify you. If you ask for mercy He will give it. God is merciful. In the case of both Abraham and Phinehas God justified men who either trusted Him or else acted on God's behalf. In both cases God...

    I appreciate humour....I do. Someone who knows God is coherent in their understanding of the scriptures. Someone who ONLY knows the scriptures a certain way...by indoctrination, say, knows nothing at all.

    As God did to Pninehas and many others in the OT....including Job BEFORE he was tested and met the Lord. You have the wrong idea about either testament. Being in Adam doesn't mean a person is unrighteous...where does that idea come? Some commentary? It's not in the bible. Mass confusion on a...

    It's not a question of who sees it. It's a question of losing one's religious certainty by being exposed to the truth.

    I'm doing the very opposite. I, like Paul, am showing a precedent for justification by faith without works in the Torah. I'm upholding it. You are NOT paying attention. You are not coherent. Phinehas was not in Christ...and neither was Abraham..both were justified by God the very same way...

    That's what I'm saying. You are adding in words willy-nilly to have the bible say...And God justified him with His own righteousness....or some other invention. Look you believe that before the cross no man was born again OF THE SPIRIT. No man could see or enter INTO the kingdom. All people had...
