"But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:" 1 Cor. 1:30 Look what you get instantly by entering into Christ... wisdom: knowing the Lord puts everything in its rightful perspective. righteousness: In Him we...

You are confusing PURITY with MATURITY. No one improves themselves into holiness. That's beyond ridiculous to think that. With religious people up is down and down is up. Religious people will say that sanctification is a process of improvement into holiness. THAT is a gospel of works...

Even you, Johann has an inner man somewhere in there. You are allowing your religious outer man to make arguments...and I'm sure you would want to add carnal force to your words with expletives...if you could. Why can't you see where your reasoning is coming from? It's coming from the sinful...

LOL. Entire sanctification began at Pentecost. Revivals of truth happen from time to time. But these don't last because of unbelief. Because the status quo is carnal...most take refuge in their carnality...thinking that the kingdom of God goes to those who have the most votes. Ignorance of...

The OP denies abiding in Christ (where there is no sin) is possible. When we are forgiven we are cleansed of ALL unrighteousness. How long can we stay pure for after being cleansed? That is the question. We remain pure for as long as we remain in Christ. His keeping power keeps us in a heavenly...

I'm just as human as the next fellow. But the good news is that through Christ we can walk in a way that is pleasing to God. We can be IN Christ and walk as He walked. Do you believe that through Christ all things become possible for us? Even you! The upward call is to all who believe.

You can lead a horse to water..... :)

You are missing the power of the gospel. Sanctification is instant by abiding in Christ. No one learns how to be holy. Being holy is being in God....there is no other way. Only God is holy. To be holy you have to be IN Him. In Him is no sin. You will have to seek and pray much harder...

Find anywhere in the Bible where it says that Christ's righteousness is IMPUTED to us. You have simply been indoctrinated into a human religious reasoning that seeks to justify itself in its sinful state. The works we are to do are pre-ordained in heaven....for the one who walks in eternal...

Look at all these arguments. Jesus is this and Jesus is that. Jesus is only divine, not also human? Jesus is human, not also God? And the most ridiculous of all...Jesus is the Father? None of these positions honour the Son as both God AND human. Are there verses that call Jesus human? Of...

Sure. The New Testament is not about taking a whole nation into the Promised Land. Only a few will be able to enter into the kingdom. God is merciful and fair...but the high calling is according to a holy standard that is beyond the faith of most people. Most people do not believe that through...

1. The birth from above is a spiritual birth into the eternal reality of the kingdom of God. 2. It is by the will of God not by the will of a person who makes a decision to "get saved" by accepting a salvation scheme. 3. It's a God thing not a man thing. No one votes their way into the...

I think the school problems would come to the end if they brought back the nuns...they didn't allow ANYTHING untoward in class.

While much of what you say is true...however, there is no conclusion to the matter. You assume that by describing what Jesus did that somehow counts for us on an intellectual level. You are neglecting to parallel the animal sacrifices of the OT...and reflect that into offering ourselves as...

We are to go from faith to faith. From our human measure of faith in Christ to the faith that has us walk in a miraculous resurrection power...which is the faith OF Christ. Both are necessary to be under grace. We were kept under the law until the faith (of Christ) would be revealed. People...

Grace is God's power given to us to walk as Jesus walked...without sin...holy and blameless...a Bride without spot or wrinkle. The only way there is by faith. Those who walk in resurrection life are not affected by sin and death.

Caught red-handed....only honest to the point of unbelief...after that...deflection.

You are exactly what you accuse me of. You are deflecting. Your questions are those of an unbeliever. And you have ignored my honesty question to you... Are you honest? Really? Then admit you don't believe that with Christ ALL things are possible. Admit that and we can move on.

I'm not you...yet you judge me as if I was you. I'm not the unbeliever here. What I'm saying is what the gospel proclaims...and I have lived it...and testify of it. Resurrection life is not only possible...it is the high calling in Christ. And this calling is so far above what is taught in the...

You are making the error of thinking that walking in the Spirit is by effort. The reason why the truth is not reflected in people you know is based on the times...not the truth. You are trying to judge the Bible based on your own observations...just as unbelievers do. Maybe you need to travel...
