40 years is a long time to be in error concerning the gospel...and be that MUCH in error. At one point there is a hanging onto the error since the realization of that immensity of the error becomes more and more difficult to take in. It's not to late to repent as long as we are still alive and...

Grace is the power of God given to us so that we can overcome sin, the devil and the world. Please stop with the false representation of myself AND the gospel. Grace is the power to OVERCOME sin as Jesus also overcame. Please read the Bible and stop your twisting the words of the bible...

The penalty removed??? No overcoming grace? No power over sin? The wages of sin is now life???? Plainly ridiculous and unbiblical. The wages of sin is still death. Grace overcomes sin...so the truth is upheld instead of twisted into a pretzel. All this pretend righteousness to justify the...

Sure. But you do realize I teach the ways of God...plural. Basically, my critics only see in one dimension. So every time I speak of one...the other is forgotten. It's like a balance scale. Some will say I only preach on one side. And some will say I only preach on the other. Very few will see...

This sounds more like a confession than an accusation. You are the one that wants so badly to be saved. You' go to any lengths...to avoid the scriptures that get in your way. But you need the whole counsel of God...and also to learn righteousness that can help you become wise unto salvation...

Actually we are to begin in the Spirit and then go to God...to His throne...to get the FULL MEASURE of grace so that our salvation is complete. This idea of salvation by works...you don't understand. Paul was defending Gentile believers against the Jews who wanted them to become Jews and follow...

I only say this in every second post I do. I think you aren't understanding God's ways. It's funny you use the word "honest" here. My teaching is very very consistent. Go back as many years and read my posts. I say the same things over and over again. No...I never said that. It's about faith/...

In your scheme good works are impossible because only God is righteous. And comparitively, this is so. But God imputes righteousness on the righteous. The righteous do good works. And one of the works of righteousness is repentance. If there was no possibility of righteousness for men, then...

Saved is not always what you think. In a great house there are both vessels of honour (a good thing) and vessels of dishonour (not a good thing) Both of these vessels are saved. And these are from the same lump...the same people...saved people. A person who does carnal works that are burned up...

You are presently saved when YOU join Jesus on the cross in order to walk in HIS life...NOW. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world..and demons also believe that. There is no reward for claiming Jesus' sacrifice for oneself. Jesus is the Lamb of GOD...not OUR Lamb. But you can't name and...

You are presently saved when YOU join Jesus on the cross in order to walk in HIS life...NOW. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world..and demons also believe that. There is no reward for claiming Jesus' sacrifice for oneself. Jesus is the Lamb of GOD...not OUR Lamb. But you can't name and...

Why are you trying to get in through the back door of religious beliefs? Going through the front door through Christ is through the cross....an encounter with the living God...by the power of the cross...and translation INTO Christ. Jesus said how difficult it was... And rich people (almost...

Actually the legalistic mindset is to say over and over in your head..."It's the cross" ....and then hide everything behind that. My approach is based on life. If it is life-giving...then it has value. If it about death without life....then it is based on vain religion. I don't think you...

Your reading skills would have to improve considerably to get what I'm saying. Salvation NOW is by entering into Christ to walk in His life. Those who do so will receive a reward in the age to come. They will rule with Christ. They are saints. Then there is a salvation based on mercy AND works...

Human works are not evil...but they can't be mixed with divine works. That mixture produces iniquity. Human works are insufficient to be pleasing to God. However, we can still be accepted by God in our own strength with the proper attitude...humility, honesty. God doesn't expect us to do more...

A man's righteousness is downward....how humble, honest, broken, and selfless he is. God's righteousness is upward...exalted into heaven. When a person tries to appear righteous, he is trying to exalt himself....doing what only God can do. So then he loses personal righteousness in trying to...

The Pharisees made a pretense of appearing righteous before men. That doesn't mean that there are no righteous people. It's when we get religious that we put on a show. A lot of people do that same thing with Christianity...claiming to be righteous because of beliefs. A religious bent destroys...

You say "unto" us a better way of understanding than Jesus? By misquoting Paul? Delusions aside, Jesus doesn't say..."unless you CLAIM to have a greater righteousness than the Pharisees". Righteous is as righteous does. Jesus said that we are to have reality and truth in what we say and do...

I give a thoughtful and deeply biblical answer that takes in to account both testaments and you respond with eating a cross? In your quest to destroy adult responsibility, you seem to have left out party hats and sparklers... :rolleyes:

You are not understanding what eternal life is. Jesus says we HAVE eternal life by entering INTO Him. A new body is future...but eternal life is NOW...always NOW. You are confusing an eternal life (we enter into by abiding in Christ) with a length of time. But eternal life has no...
