No. Being quickened into life is FROM death. We come to the light FROM darkness. There is no darkness in light. What you may be referring to is that we walk in HIS death in order to walk in HIS life. But if we are dead to sin we are not dead IN our sins. Being dead IN sin is not the same as...

You are not making the further distinction between the inner man and outer man....in every believer. The Old Man is the carnal entity we once were. The New Man is what is created in Christ's perfect image. We are to put on the New Man...put on Christ...to walk as He walked. No sin there. The...

Father and Son. Moses spoke to the Lord face to face....Jesus. But anyone who looked on the face of God (the Father)...had to die. Look at Ex. 33 v. 11...and v.20. Unless you see that YHVH is BOTH Father and Son...like a family name...and that the Father is GREATER than the Son...the MOST HIGH...

The Bible contradicts your opinions in every way. Is God's hand depersonalized because it is only a part of Him? God's Spirit is an extension of Him....the way a hand is an extension of us. In Acts we see God "stretching forth His hand"! (Acts 4:30) Does that mean a hand will mysteriously...

That's TENET of faith (actually religious beliefs) not tenant. A tenant is someone who occupies a building. Creeds are a wrong approach to the mystery of God. Carnal religious men divide over them...proving just how carnal they are. They seek an outward conformity...whereas the apostles NEVER...

Obscurantism and a dishonest strawman. A human baby is still a human....same nature...but different stature. A father and a son share the same name...same nature...different stature. Is any father and son co-equal? No...the father is always greater than the son. So it is with God. The Father...

There are no such examples. But there are many examples of Jesus Christ being One with His Father. Both Father and Son make up the Godhead Elohim. Do you deny this? Do you deny that there is only ONE Holy Spirit? God the Father has a Spirit and there is the Spirit of Christ to consider. Are all...

“Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.” John 14:8 "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say...

What is under attack is the Father's place in the Godhead. Rather than casting Him aside...we are to worship the Father in the name of the Son in the POWER of His Spirit. Worshiping God's Spirit is like worshiping His hands or His finger...or what He has done. Rather Jesus came to restore us to...

Some people think grace is the overlooking of sinful ways....and others believe it is the power to not sin. Being dead to sin means that the power of sin has no effect on us. That is only possible when our outer man (containing the sin nature) is crucified with Christ.

Beliefs have no power. Faith does. And faith moves mountains. Sanctification is based on being IN Christ...He is our sanctification. we are justified through His life as we walk in the power of His Spirit. Being sealed for a later judgment works kind of like an RRSP. We have a chance to change...

Present salvation is walking above sin by the Spirit. INHERITING life is a whole other matter. No one inherits something until the end of something. if we remain faithful to Christ till the end...we have an inheritance. However, to experience salvation now we must enter into Christ to overcome...

Not an outward religious effort. It is a determination of the will by faith that seeks God in a full surrender. Once we let go our outward defenses...and our religious justifications...we are free to ask, seek, and knock until we receive grace from the Lord. The effort to seek God comes from...

The full measure of grace is AVAILABLE to all believers....it costs us everything...but most will be satisfied with the free sample. Initial grace (being born of the Spirit) is like the free samples they hand out in grocery stores. Can we live on the free samples? Or are we meant to try the...

I hope you have a good day today...yesterday something frazzled you. :) The pure in heart don't lash out with outrageous statements from a wounded pride. That pride comes from the part of you that is meant to go to the cross. So you are over-estimating your purity...your hands are full of...

FYI walking by the power of the Spirit IS by grace not by human effort. Your scheme is based on carnal understanding...a human effort to justify itself...and one that makes God cover up sinful flesh. But God uncovers the flesh in order to put it to death...to save us. And you are right in that...

I don't believe what you interpret the bible to read. You are far more indoctrinated than you think. Know yourself...and your own religious inclinations. Now honestly...no one would ever consider God's Spirit to be a separate person from God. The Jews know the scriptures much better than we...

Ever heard of the Ebionites? They were Jewish believers who believed in poverty...as per Acts 2. They acted out the poverty of Jesus by following Him in a physical way. Are you like them? Or do you just do the easy stuff? They died out because their understanding was faulty. The kingdom of God...

The "Spirit of God" has always been God's Spirit. read the Old Testament and ALL the references to God's Holy Spirit...then ask..why didn't the Jews ever consider God's Spirit to be a separate person from Him? Do you realize that God (plural) IS SPIRIT. let's see how you reason away the actual...

Can you see that both are due to human extremes? We go from 1 to 3 by bypassing 2...which is required for a proper balance. We have 2 eyes and 2 ears...not one or three. Eyes in Hebrew is eynayim. ears are oznayim. No other number is required to show the duality. Ephraim means DOUBLE fruit...
