Zion is a place in the spiritual realm. The Kingdom of Heaven. We can be in two places at once...this may sound far fetched but it has to do with the duality of the spiritual walk in Christ. When we walk in the Spirit there are 2 realms being superimposed on each other. We see the world THROUGH...

To be temporally minded means you put great importance on everything that happens to you in a given moment. Being eternally minded means you are able to put things in their proper perspective. We need to look at things within the bigger picture. This world is a simulation of reality. It's seems...

It is better to be wrong in doctrine but be humble and fear the Lord. Nowhere does it say that God gives grace to the doctrinally accurate. Much of Western Christendom is based on accuracy of beliefs. Can you say "the emperor's new clothes?"

And that is mainly true. However the sermon on the mount holds true. Be careful not to misunderstand one aspect of the truth because of the other. The righteous are scarcely saved and the saints are abundantly saved. The wicked perish and the hypocrites wander in eternal darkness. God decides...

Jesus indeed is the Saviour of the whole world ESPECIALLY those who believe. But you are going too far the other way. The truth is held in a proper balance. There are actually 4 possible destinies...read Rev. 22:11 These possibilities are covered in many places in the Bible. Jesus alludes to...

That's an opinion not supported by the Bible. Have you heard of the lake of fire by chance? The wicked are destroyed. But the saved live on. In a great house there are both vessels of honour AND vessels of dishonour. When the sons of the kingdom are cast away or spit out of Jesus' mouth...where...

Being in Christ is a corporate thing...being in the Body of Christ. All who believe are part of His Body. But abiding in Christ is a personal thing and comes at great personal cost. That's the difference between a saint and a faithful brother/sister.

What needs to put down is not our will...our will comes from the inner man. What we need to to be strengthened in our will against the works of the outer man that contains the sin nature. What part of us is supposed to reckon ourselves dead to this world? Our will. :) We can't compare...

No. Being God's people means we will live forever...BUT...what are we being saved to? In a great house there are both vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour. ALL who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. However, not everyone who is born from above finishes the race. Some will be...

A drastic case scenario to be sure. But humility is always the best way to proceed. :)

This is true. That's why the outer man needs to go to the cross in order to walk in the Spirit. The sin nature is contained within the outer man and holds the inner man in bondage until liberated by the cross to walk in resurrection life.

Another LOL! Religious definition of "harmonize." : verb meaning to obscure, deny, ignore, or get downright hostile towards those who have the audacity to point out a verse that reveals something missing in my religious certainty. :)

...or the monkey with his hand in the bottle who is stuck because he won't let go of the shiny object. :)

LOL. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone claiming to the the righteous one. People need to know themselves and stop trying to exalt themselves and justify themselves. The Pharisee will always claim to be the Publican and the Publican (because he is humble...of all things) will claim...

I'm not a Trinitarian, but I know that Jesus is God the Son. :) Jesus indeed benefited from His own death and resurrection. Jesus is fully human as well as being fully God. People tend to be one-sided and therefore lack the balance that is in the truth. Trinitarians err on the side of denying...

You disbelieve when I testify of a supernatural walk in resurrection life and I'm the one who is using human reasoning.? ;) The carnal mind inverts the truth.

I am speaking of my own experiences of abiding in Christ...that relate PERFECTLY with the testimonies in the Bible. Walking in the Spirit is to experience the power of the age to come. If you knew the Bible better you would see many verses in what I'm relating to you. But spiritual things can...

Being in the Spirit is not looking at Him...it is looking through Him. We can do all things THROUGH Christ who strengthens us. There is no tourist walk in Zion. The curious part of us is on the cross when we abide in Christ. We enter into the Spirit in order to live THROUGH Christ. Jesus said...

To be invited into the abode of the King is one thing. To wish to remain there and only there is a whole other thing. We are to trust in God and rejoice in all things regardless of where we are. We don't choose what country we are born into. Likewise we are born again by the will of God...

Election by God is by....election. :) There is no way to enter INTO Christ in a personal way unless the Father gets involved. It is at His discretion. We are TRANSLATED into Zion by the Lord....taken up to abide in Christ where He is. Totally miraculous. Our way in is to surrender and entreat...
