    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I have no idea. People have to be seen as in transition. We are in the wilderness walk...and there is always the possibility that people will let go of their religious presumptions and have an ear to hear the truth. of course, this is rare....but it does happen! ;) Even you, can learn what the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    In French it's called "Idée fixe". it means that we are so programmed with a single idea...no other idea can enter in. If we could set up a mind reader instrument to many who come to this thread....the read-out would say... "Our righteousness is as filthy rags"...repeated over and over, and...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    To be expected...actually the carnal mind can't help itself when confronted with God's ways.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I love the ways of God! He makes it so that religious people HATE what God approves...and love what God disapproves. And no matter what you say...the flesh knows how to hate the truth. And will always do so.

    Don't muzzle the ox! As I minister the truth I also partake of the earthly benefits of the fellowship. :)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Are you questioning the sinful Christ syndrome ("sin"drome) of imputing Christ to wickedness? Religious people will get into a snit. But God will smile. :)

    Basically non-threatening to your ego. :rolleyes:

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    That post must have been deleted or moved...because I can't find it. The early church was binatarian...Father and Son (Godhead of Elohim) united in One Holy Spirit. There is nothing MORE ORTHODOX than the divinity of Christ. For the first few hundred years, believers were...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    That's not a biblical idea. We indeed have a righteousness of our own or else God could never impute righteousness to us. Ours must simply be greater than the hypocrites. I find that so few modern church-goers know the bible...especially the scriptures. Do a study on how many people God saw as...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    It's called biblical doctrine. Adding in words to the bible is great sport....and fools a lot of people...but we must stick to what is written. God never treated His Son as a sinner. This is a misreading of the text. God ALWAYS sees things the right way. It is religious people that invent...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Voluntary surrender in humility. Jesus is the most humble person in the universe.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Answer to @VictoryinJesus It is our duty to be humble. It is an important part of what justifies us with God. God gives grace..........to the humble. And He resists the proud! Especially if they claim to be walking around in His righteousness while they commit every iniquity the flesh can...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Mr. Ego rides again! :) We need dissenters who play the role of the devil's advocate...it makes things more interesting. Imagine everyone being in agreement? Boring, right?

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    This new forum structure doesn't give out many notifications. I only get about 1/3 of the notifications from what people post on my threads. It's a forum thing....not me ignoring you. It was not intended on my part! :)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Answering @Ronald David Bruno Only Protestants buy into the imputed thing. It was an invention of Luther. Catholics believe in "imparted" righteousness...which is biblical. And orthodox believers believe in a real oneness with God...not just an assumed righteousness. So then you are in the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Another propaganda victim. Where do you all come from? :rolleyes: No one is imputed "with" not even in the OT. The correct way to use the English language is to say..."imputed "to". So you first need a thesaurus...and THEN do a bible study. And you are simply expressing a human opinion...that...

    Heresy or error?

    If that means you will stop copy-pasting silly propaganda all over my threads...it is a welcome event! :)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    How can you say that when I can read what you post? You believe that God pretends, or sees something that's not there. Of course, God sees the future. But that doesn't mean we do. Did God not see that most of the Israelites would perish in the wilderness? If so, then why was He so upset with...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The simple minded cannot receive instruction. They are wise to do evil but of righteousness they know not. You are not understanding the verse you are alluding to. The word "simplicity" has to do with focus...not how easy it is. Do you believe the bible is authoritive? If so, then, please use...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    May I suggest looking to other authors of the bible and Jesus, who IS the truth...and not just a bad reading of Paul? Paul was only interested in speaking about the higher walk...the Promised Land walk....which so few understand. We are not to be as children in understanding. I cite Paul...
