You are claiming that for yourself by your beliefs. I wait on God...without the naming and claiming that makes you feel justified...in your own opinion.

So in modern religious circles we now have a book.... a permissive book that encourages assumptions and presumptions......a misunderstood book that is being subverted to: 1. Give permission for people to justify themselves...even at the level of God Himself. 2. To be no longer responsible for...

As in...because the penalty for sin has already been paid... :rolleyes:

True. And that supports the idea that we are carrying our own cross by doing this. We are in control by our reckoning...by an act of the will. Again true....again supporting the idea that we are called to DO what is right...hence the proper reckoning with the human will to obey God. I don't...

I make them up from copy-pasting verses from the bible. facts? Jesus as fact? What we are seeing here are facts taken from the bible and turned into truth by a religious imagination. The assumption that all believers (believers in beliefs about the bible) experience ANYTHING that is written...

Not everyone who owns a musical instrument knows how to play it. We can be owners and not players. Not everyone who owns a bible understands the message within it. We are not to be hearers of the word only...but doers of the word. How does reckoning work with that? Well. we can use the word...

Who's the we??? A religious assessment, or a pretend one will place the "i" ...the ego...into the narrative in a favourable light. But Paul is speaking to people he knew...who were not posturing, or imagining themselves to be something they were not. Try humility...assuming nothing...unless to...

The trick is to get those who believe in things ABOUT Jesus to put Him on for real ...in Spirit and truth. The distance between a theological assessment of the cross and an experience of the power of the cross...is a universe away. It is the distance between light and darkness...between life and...

In your story...is Richard imagining he is 6 feet under by a process of reckoning? Or...is he crucified to the point where he is INCAPABLE of sin...because he is dead (like it sounds in your story). Here we see the difference...and the controversy...between a Romans 6 reckoning, and a testimony...

What creates so many problems in the church is the depth at which things are received. Much of the modern gospel is about getting as many people in the pews as possible...watering down the message, and the truth, sufficiently, to attract people who are NOT willing to let go of their lives. It's...

Hello to all. I think it important to understand the context of everything we read about in the bible. It's too easy to misunderstand and jump to false conclusions based on an unbalanced and unlearned assumption, unless we look as deeply as possible into how it fits into the ways of God. On...

You are inspired! :)

Children will be children. I don't take all the ugliness seriously. It's people who desperately need to grow up and go to the cross. A pretend righteousness produces a pretend everything else. Much love!

I know I'm feeling the love here, and in some cases...much love. :rolleyes:

This present feeding frenzy shows that there's a real hunger for the truth...but no stomach for it. :rolleyes:

It's my thread...you're the troll here. But you seem to not be able to learn anything...so why don't you troll elsewhere?

Safety in numbers? Go with that! Many will say to Me on that day.....

More imaginations Mark? :rolleyes:

On the religious plane...the deadness of the letter replaces the life of the Spirit. But the bible doesn't point to itself...but to the living God. You think your beliefs about Jesus is biblical faith...

Yes? Yes that the words of Jesus that you ignore are still words that bring life? So then why do you go against His words...ignore His words...and accuse those who quote Him as not speaking the truth? See you have deflected long enough so that you can say a little "yes" and it not being tied...
