His part is finished...and now available to all who believe INTO Christ. Our part is to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. That sounds strange to you? The dichotomy you claim is false is the flesh on the one hand, and the Spirit that overcomes the flesh, on the other hand. These...

The difficulty in receiving the gospel nowadays and my commentary on this ....lies in the fact that religious institutions have attempted to reverse engineer the biblical narrative to arrive at a place that they already are. There is no race of faith for these. No, it's all a done deal...it is...

I seek to correct the idea that the gospel is just the same old flesh even as it fails to please God. For many today the gospel is the good news for the flesh. The truth is being short-circuited to serve the outer man ego...now become religious. So then the whole idea of holiness is completely...

Thanks for the invite! ;) It remains to see in what capacity...as the Bride or a guest. :)

Amen to all this. Again, yes. Facts are not on the same level as truth. If we want to cooperate with God on an eternal level we need to walk in the truth...not just recite facts.

Yes. This is false, of course. We don't need to blame an innocent person in order to escape our sins. That is an evil idea. Rather God is merciful ...always has been. The problem is approaching a holy God in a sinful nature. The atonement of Christ cleanses away the sin in the nature by giving...

More than an event...a bridge into eternal truth and reality. Not so much. If we are not perfect and complete in Christ we will not the the bride. We will not have an eternal reward. There are also many guests invited to the feast of the Lamb...who are both bad and good. The meek will inherit...

The living God is not an accountant. He is not blind to our true condition. Either we walk as Jesus walked or we walk in our own strength, being subject to sin and death. Light has no part with darkness...or the schemes of men. Some of what you are saying is true....factual. But truth rises far...

False. Trusting in a historic event is believing something ABOUT Jesus. That is fact not truth. You are operating on the lower level of fact...not the divine level of truth. Facts don't set you free...they just give you opinions...in this case religious opinions. No one will be judged based on...

It's definitely a logical surmising...but A WRONG one. The translators flubbed the text in order to get at that logic. But our sins are never imputed to Jesus just as His righteousness is never imputed to us. Only a blind god or an unrighteous god would get things that backwards. God was in...

Grace is about right now. The gospel is about right now...not a history lesson. Spiritually perfect? Spiritualization in one's imagination? Imagination doesn't set one free. Only a translation into Christ makes one perfect and complete IN Him.

The problem arises when people try to reverse engineer a verse without understanding it. We become the righteousness of God IN Him.

So you have begun in earnest. ;) The gospel is not about history but what is available today by grace through faith. That's true. We can't claim benefits for ourselves based on anything we do or believe.

Jesus came to take away the sins of the world...not just forgive them. He became sin (not sins) for us so that He might bring us who enter into Him into the light of His love. We are not to try exploiting Jesus for our own use. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God...not OUR sacrificial Lamb. God...

A very misunderstood verse.

The term "all Israel" comes from the OT. Paul would have known the term because unlike so many moderns, he actually studied the bible. ;) All Israel means Ephraim. Notice how the bible explains it. 1 Kings 12:20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that...

Amen. The "fulness of the Gentiles" is Ephraim...the fruit of the Northern tribes that were "sifted through the nations." Joseph mean "increase". Basically fruit. Joseph's sons are Manasseh and Ephraim. (Ephraim means double fruit) Gen 48:4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful...
