You do understand the premise, right? Luther said that we can sin boldly because in that scheme NO amount of our sins can quench His grace. So basically sin is no longer counted against us ...God only sees Jesus. He can't see Christian sinners. Our sins are no longer sinful because He did it...

Thank you! Reformers think that nobody before the 1500's knew anything about following Christ. That's pretty arrogant...and only proves that Protestantism is a distortion of the truth...a newfangled series of errors based on the premise that people are not responsible for sin because of grace...

Are you saying that sanctification is NOT progressive? That a person is fully sanctified in an experience of grace? You are confusing things without ANY scriptural back-up. And you are contradicting yourself here to make a point that you vehemently deny elsewhere. Proof that you are flying by...

Only if it stands against the power of God that is in God. Can we boast for an acorn against the tree that produced it?

That is a rendering from the statement by EG that read "You want to run again, Run, It will not stop me" A brief summery of the seeming difference in meaning: The syntax and conjugation are somewhat obscured by a regulatory distortion that allows for one ideology to be juxtaposed with another...

It's backward speech. In French there is something called "Verlan"...it is "envers" (or backwards) with the syllables reversed. There is a Belgian artist who calls himself "Stromae"...and that is verlan for "maestro". Now EG has mastered the art of backward speech.

Yes they do. But God visiting us with a gift of initial grace is not the same as going to where He is to get the full measure. God wants to be in relationship with us. For that we need to go to Him. ALL who are of faith recognize that.

The new birth is Christ in a person...to put on Christ we have to go where He is. The disciples asked Him....Master, where do you live? Jesus responded "Come and see"

That would be like Moses getting a book on how part the Red Sea. The OT is perhaps more of a "how to" book...based on learning righteousness. But not the NT...as in..."how to raise the dead in three easy steps." The NT speaks of a miraculous walk given to those who please Him and to whom it...

Not accept the truthfulness for oneself. Seek God and ask Him to make it a reality in your life. Why all the reactions against seeking God for power and truth? Would it be like the mafia calling the police?

Why is all the truth I'm trying to convey to going unnoticed? Why is truth seen as slander? Consider the part of you that motivates that reaction. Think...is it carnal? Is it a divine nature? Why is it every time I speak of hypocrites in general you take it personal? i realize that if I...

It's meant to either lead us to God or deceive us into justifying ourselves. So either we will be blessed by it or cursed by it. It depends how we read it and what part of us we think it's speaking to. The truth is that a modern Publican would beat his chest and quickly identify himself with...

I'm not going to play the opposite game with you. I've tried that and you didn't get it. I've tried telling it to you straight...and you didn't get it. There's nothing else I can say. Go to the cross.

Exactly...twisting the meaning of the bible to suit the flesh. But you aren't seeing how that works with the modern gospel that confirms rich people in their delusions.

Sure. But what is equally true is that the devil can use the word of God to tempt people (including Jesus ) to worship him. Do you see that? Yes or no? And you dodged all my question..as usual. But answering my questions is the key to you understanding the depth of the gospel. If you want to...

This is what you are not understanding. The term believers can include "make-believers" as well as those who have the faith OF Christ by grace. So it all depends on how you use the term. Do all who say Lord Lord...enter the kingdom? Are all who seek to enter into life through the door of Christ...

Emphasis on the living...not living as in a magic conjuring book for all who believe they have control over it by their beliefs.

Actually revealing the many...but otherwise spot on.

The bible is not a conjuring book that you have control over by your beliefs. You are using the bible as if it had a magic book applicability. The bible speaks of the truth...a truth that will cut off those who misuse it to support the flesh.

What I see many here advocating... "If you only had religious beliefs the size of a mustard seed, you could say about this bible....it's all about ME (except the bad parts that actually apply to me). I claim all the promises that Jesus and Paul meant for others are now meant for me and people...
