The confusion lies in your own doctrine. You uphold what you are denying and deny what you are upholding. How? You don't understand either righteousness or holiness. That is obvious. One can sin and still be righteous.....but not holy. You, of course have no understanding here. One needs to...

The Bible has both promises and warnings. The trick is to assign each to its proper place. The fear of the Lord for the outer man, and the comfort of the Spirit to the inner man.

That's why we are to receive the implanted word with meekness. :) The problem arises when the rich and presumptuous get a hold on the Bible to twist its meaning to include themselves. But the Bible is clear enough on the subject of the proper attitude in dealing with the things of God.

No one becomes progressively holy. That would make holiness a work of men...which of course it is not. We are INSTANTLY holy by entering into Christ. He is our perfection. Holiness is about entering INTO Christ. In Him is no sin. 1 Cor. 1:30 "But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is...

So much confusion. If we remain humble and teachable we remain under the CORPORATE covering of Christ. If we lie and resist the truth (as so many do nowadays) then Jesus will spit us out. No matter how many times the religious posers are warned, they will never listen.

Covering is both corporate and individual. I was speaking as being individuals. The (I think its a bot) poster was speaking about personal salvation. There is no understanding of either righteousness or holiness....just a religious scheme concocted by twisting the meaning of Paul's writings.

I think it is a BOT that is posting this. No cogent (thinking) response ..just spewing non-related indoctrination. Back to ignore. You gotta like that function...keeps out the bots.

Yes, the covering blood is the LIFE...the resurrection life of Christ. being justified IN Christ means we have entered into His life...His perfection. This walk is too deep to understand among religiously indoctrinated people who are looking to save themselves. What did Jesus say about the rich...

You neither understand the words of Paul nor the gospel. Post the exact verse that you are misunderstanding. (without adding in your interpretation) The work of God is to allow men to walk as Jesus walked...as they are truly covered by God's righteousness. There is no sin in Christ. But even...

No one in this world is more spiritually confused than the one who thinks that one can sin WITH God's righteousness. Sinful holiness? That heresy has eternal consequences, yet people will wipe their mouths and say...I have done nothing wrong.

This is the biggest error possible. I can't believe the modern teachings on how easily people are led astray. God did not impute His righteousness to Abraham. That's definitely not in the Bible. But it is preached as such by false teachers. read the Bible for yourself...without the...

FYI Abraham was human like us. So was Phinehas. The OT is based on what was possible to do in human strength. The NT is based on what is possible by the empowering grace of God...which was modeled by Jesus in His earthly walk. When we put on Christ we put on His strength and perfection. God...

Once people have accepted a lie that seems to benefit the flesh....it becomes very difficult to repent towards something that brings loss to the flesh. So the carnal remain carnal and refuse to repent. They hold to what edifies the rebellious part of them. They revel in riches and increase and...

God stated in the OT that He was going to do something new...novel. Something different. A change of level. So the stakes were raised. What God accomplished was adding a new level to an existing structure. The NT is built on the OT. With the NT we go from law to grace....from righteousness to...

There's what we do...and then there is what God does...the election of grace. God translates people into His realm...or not. Paul was trying to win Christ by appreciating just how far beyond us God is. It was in embracing his own weakness that God gave him strength through His grace.

In the OT we read that Abraham was imputed (attributed) with having righteousness by faith. We read... Gen. 15:6 "And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness." What kind of righteousness was that? It was human righteousness. Abraham grasped that God could do...

In the OT we see a temple holiness....a place, clothing, rites....all EXTERNAL things. Just as the law was a place marker for righteousness, so was the temple a place marker for holiness. But now holiness (true holiness) is entered into by being IN the eternal realm...by putting on Christ. When...

It is an error people make that in the NT we can make ourselves holy through our own efforts in avoiding sin. We are ONLY made holy by putting on Christ and HIS perfection. There is NO sin (no spot or wrinkle) in holiness. Unfortunately an offbeat monk named Luther has convinced religious people...

Yes, plural. It should be remembered that OT holiness is NOT the same as NT holiness. This statement... "You see, we can do righteous works without being holy. But if you are holy, you will do righteous works. {eoa}" This statement is true....however one must raise the bar for it to be true in...

We are to enter into His gates with thanksgiving. Are we to enter in and never go out? We are to enter into the gate of the Lord. In the OT this has to do with temple worship. But in the NT it is entering INTO Christ to walk as He walked. We can only remain there as we learn to grow into the...
