What if God personally provided a way to obey the law perfectly... by say...by enabling us to enter into the only Person that can do so (Jesus Christ) and His grace empowering the humble human to do exactly as the human Jesus did? Let's call this hypothesis...the New Covenant. All who sin are...

I maintain that the GodHead is Father and Son...united by one holy Spirit. God is Spirit. There is no need for another Person to help the Spirit of God or the Spirit of Christ. The 7 Spirits of God are BEFORE the throne of God...not sitting on it. Do more research!

Do people believe Jesus was sinless and perfect? And yet there is a huge disconnect between saying you believe that...and believing that in Him is no sin. If we abide in Him we do not sin. When we put on Christ, we put on His perfection. This is according to the grace empowerment by God. But it...

The Lord imputed righteousness to Abraham based on his faith. His faith, his righteousness. People will confuse human righteousness with the righteousness of God. Abraham did NOT have the righteousness of God. Rather, he was noted for his faith and that made him a righteous man (humanly...

The word "belong" has to do with ownership. Most believers do not BELONG to Christ. They follow their own minds. We can follow Jesus at whatever distance we find to be comfortable to us. We are free to do as we please. There are VERY VERY few bondslaves of Christ...owned by their Master. We own...

This is going too far the other way. Many of the early Jewish believers were Ebionites. Look them up. They championed the HUMANITY of Jesus by obeying His commands...to sell all and do as He did. The early believers had all things in common. They came to deny the divinity of Jesus in favour of...

Yes. Yes. They will appear before the Bema seat of Christ to be judged on a personal basis for they have done....whether good or bad. This is vague. Inaccuracies stem from vagueness. There are different ways the Spirit works in people. Some receive a touch from God...some are led by the...

You are fully missing the New Covenant. Here where I live...in Canada ...the highways have both a minimum speed (60kph) and a maximum (more of a suggestion really ;) ...100kph) That is to keep traffic flowing. If those signs could be brought back into the 1700's...people would be talking...

Now you are proving that you walk in unbelief. No one can represent Christ within the walls of their unbelief. You need conversion to the faith OF Jesus Christ...and not just holding to beliefs ABOUT Jesus. I pray you stop limiting God and what His grace can do.

You will have to wait and see on judgment day...UNLESS you begin to believe that through Christ ALL things are possible. I testify to such a walk because I have walked in it. Whether or not others have, I don't know. There is no way of knowing if a person walking down the street is walking like...

Only those who abide in Christ. It is the "no longer I but Christ." You are smart and you are honest...I like conversing with you. :) But you have to go beyond what you are able to formulate in your own mind and move into the miraculous grace of God to understand the gospel. (actually...the...

You have it exactly backwards. Only through Christ are we able to fulfill the letter of the law. The law brings DEATH to the outer man...our own capabilities and strength. But that very same letter of the law SHOWS that a person who abides in Christ is walking in the power that resurrected Jesus...

And this letter of the law is fulfilled as we walk in the new life that is in Christ according to the standard of the New Covenant which is by grace. We need to have the law related perfectly (in the letter) in order to see how the life afforded to us by grace is able to fulfill it. No more need...

I'm responding to this post because it is honest and a good comparison. We don't see such clear thinking very often here. :) The OT is about righteousness...doing what is right with what we have been given. God doesn't judge us against what we have not been given. Now each of us has a will in...

We don't decide to be a witness of God...He does. Imagine volunteering to be a witness in a trial. Now, you will be asked what you have seen. If you answer, "well, I just wanted to be a witness..although I have seen nothing." What kind of witness would that make you? "You shall not bear false...

This is just plain wrong..and you are missing what saves the soul. You are mixing up spirit and soul. Salvation is NOT Jesus on the cross. It is Jesus resurrected. There is a big difference between a religion of death...that SO many cling to....and the spiritual resurrection walk that is...

You have understood half the mystery...but you are missing a fundamental, if subtle, difference between being in Christ and abiding in Christ. Those who are in Christ can still be rejected...not so those who abide in Christ. Notice these verses... John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father...

You need to not only take the NT seriously, you need to actually read its contents. Anybody who thinks they will be judged according to their beliefs is indoctrinated by false preachers...and does NOT read the Bible for what it says. Before you try instructing others...and bringing...

You are funny. :) Maybe if you read your bible...?? I'll open mine... "Who will render to every man according to his deeds:" Rom. 2:6 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it...

Are you saying that you will soon be getting baptized in the Spirit?
