The truth is not an either-or, but a both-and in regard to what can be taken as an extreme position that leaves out either God or ourselves out of the relationship we were created to have with the Lord.

Great post. 100% accurate. And the carnal reactions to the deeper walk...that very few will experience...proves the point. People want to believe that there is nothing beyond themselves and their own experience. They deny the testimony of the Lord and His saints...and they refuse to esteem...

Welcome here Carl. :) <><

We will not be judged by accepting a concept...but by our works...or what we have done with what we have been given. Whoever is faithful in little is also faithful in much. The trinity doctrine has nothing to do with the deity of Christ. God is a duality of Father and Son...together in One...

It means you have to look deeper. Learn more Greek and Hebrew. God is waiting for you as you follow Him where He is. You will need to seek harder....as the scriptures are opened up more to you. Each time you look deeper, the words open up again and take you farther into understanding the heart...

It is commonly known that this verse (Matt. 28:19) was corrupted from the original..."baptize them in My name". it seems you didn't get the memo? :) The Johanine "comma" from 1 John 5 was also a later addition (much later) and is now left out of more modern translations. In this we see the...

It's important to realize that this particular verse was changed by the Roman church early in the second century. The original read..."Baptizing them in My name." That is the name of Jesus. We know this verse was altered because of early Christian writers who quoted the verse in its original...

Faith can be equated to trust...and I like your way of saying that the faith OF Jesus is to have the same trust of the Father as He had. But I see another dimension to faith. I see it as a key to a greater realm. If trust could be seen as defensive in nature, there is an aggressive aspect to...

On that count, there is the example of Caleb...who was so robust that he was as much a warrior (not a worrier :) ) that he could fight as well in his old age as when he was young. The wilderness walk is where we all spend most (actually mostly ALL) of our own spiritual lives. We lack the faith...

True...but the spiritual battle is only taken to the enemy once we have been conquered from within. If we are conflicted within ourselves we will not be able to stand against the enemy without wavering. The devil has our number until we are taken out of the equation by being crucified in the...

I see what you are getting at now. We hunger for righteousness IN THE WORLD...as per Matt. 5. We look for justice and equity rather than the lawlessness we see all around us. That is not the same as hungering for our own righteousness. We hunger and thirst for the Lord to fill us in our...

What we hunger for is HIS righteousness...not our own. We are covered by His grace (in righteousness and holiness) when we enter into Him. It costs us our lives (outer man) to be translated into a walk in the light of Zion. Very miraculous and the best kept secret in the world! :)

When we are accepted on that level...the Spirit comes down on us and brings us into His supernatural peace and joy. We need faith and trust when we are NOT filled with the Spirit. Paul says we are ALWAYS to do all things to be ACCEPTED of Him...whether we are present with Him (in the Spirit)...

Accepted yes...but the standard that is intimate and leads to rulership with Him has to be on a level that is pleasing to Him. We are not all cut out to be rulers in the next age. Most believers in our time are not humble enough to become leaders. The present culture has affected the way people...

It is a well known fact that none of the apostles ever received a flu shot. It is almost certain that Jesus didn't either.

Yes. And the word for measure in the verse is the Greek metron which means a limited portion. How many are satisfied with the free sample but refuse to go to God for the full portion of grace that is obtained by putting on Christ? Having a sample of grace doesn't put us under grace as...

Jesus had no faith? Is this a denial that Jesus was fully man and subject to the same temptations as ourselves? Your error is a deep one. Jesus modeled the NEW MAN that we put on to walk as He walked. IN Christ we put on His perfection...BY the faith OF Jesus Christ. (A faith that was not in...

The Bible is built on two levels...righteousness and holiness. A measure of faith is not the same as a fulness of faith. Our faith is not on the same level as the faith OF Christ that does miraculous things. Do we do miracles with human faith? Of course not. Our faith needs to be strengthened by...

By moral law do you mean the law of righteousness? No, Jesus came to fulfill the law of righteousness and allow us to enter into the higher standard of righteousness which is IN Him. A greater law overshadows a lesser law the way the light of the Sun outshines the light of the moon and stars...
