This is good...but it is a standard that is below being crucified with Christ. We are indeed to be weaned of the flesh gradually when we are NOT walking in the death and resurrection of Christ. Crucifixion is not a process...it is an event. But weaning is a process...one that brings us to the...

We need help in surrendering all. We don't know how to choke out our own life. We go to God with what we have and are in submission to His will. Few will be able to enter into the Kingdom walk...very few...for reasons that God knows. But we can remain open to His corrections and directions in...

I am speaking of the cross of Christ...being crucified with Him in the outer man...the husk or shell around the inner man that is carnal. No one can walk in the Spirit unless their outer man is taken out of the way...otherwise they will walk in the power and covering of the flesh. Circumcision...

Actually the gift of righteousness is given when a person pays the full cost of entering into Christ. The initial grace is a gift that gets the ball rolling so to speak. We are talking about the Kingdom of God here. We receive an initial grace as a sample of the full righteousness of...

Agree with the process of being made a saint. :) However no one can ever have God's righteousness "imputed" to them. It is God's righteousness not ours. We can be "covered" by His righteousness but ONLY as we abide IN Him. We come UNDER (the covering of) grace in this way. Being declared...

We are a living soul. The spirit in us is only a container...and that spirit returns to God. The purpose of being regenerated in the spirit is that the life break out into the soul to the saving of the soul. If we sin, then we are sinners. Whoever sins is a slave to sin. Trying to make excuses...

There are many dualities in the Bible and being under the law is no exception: When Paul said that he was no longer "under the law" he meant the law of Moses...the law serving as a "covering" until Christ came. He then exchanged his old covering for that of being in Christ...covered by the...

Of course human righteousness falls short. No one is saying otherwise. Windows are used in houses. But you can't make a house entirely of windows. But a house without windows is more like a prison than a house. So windows are desirable. Only a convict would argue against the importance of...

A better rendering would be..."There is perfection to the limit that I (am able to) see, so greatly broad (are) your commandments." (my translation)

We build on God...and God builds on us. God does not build on Himself. If God didn't build on us...then the building would be apart from us. You are mixing metaphors and confusing the issue. The foundation is Christ but the location of that foundation is in us. We are the ground that the...

You are confusing sin and righteousness. Righteousness is a good thing. Imagine the level of error it takes to make good bad and bad good. Now consider how you have been indoctrinated to ignore the majority of scripture because of a few misapplied proof texts that sound right in a bad context...

Again, you are not seeing that the law that Paul is referring to is Judaism. You need more than just looking at words in verses to understand the truth. The bible was written from life and eternal reality. Paul escaped from the Mosaic law...not God's law. The New Covenant needs the Old Covenant...

Not so. The wine is grace in the new heart (tender). The old wineskin (hard) is the heart under the law of Moses. Again so much confusion between being obedient to God (frowned upon by many) and following the Mosaic laws contained in Judaism. let not many be teachers...

Everything...all! Listen to the teachings of Jesus concerning His kingdom. Most modern believers know nothing of the kingdom walk...because they are still on the carnal level....doing their level best...always learning but never coming to the fulness of the truth. Why do people hide behind...

You are not seeing that righteousness is on 2 separate levels. Why do we need to repent before we are justified? Because repentance is necessary for righteousness. This is not God's righteousness..it is our own. Unless OUR righteousness is greater than the hypocrites....we cannot enter into the...

Yes. God's righteousness is built upon man's righteousness. God will never build on unrighteousness. Human righteousness is like a ground floor, and God's righteousness is like the second floor...or "upper room" built upon it. So then holiness is built upon righteousness. Without this...

The Hebrew bible indeed has the Song of Solomon...the Shir Hashirim. The order of the books is different...There is the Torah...the Nevi'im (prophets) and the Ketouvim (writings). The Song of Songs (as it is referred to in the Tanach) is in the latter part...the writings.

We carry our own cross (if we are to follow Christ) until we reach the place of crucifixion...then the cross of Christ carries us as dead to this world. Believers in Christ should not be speaking about salvation so much...but rather glory and pleasing God. We should move beyond the first steps...

I also have 40 + years of study...AND experience in the Kingdom walk. No one remains in the Spirit unless they already have the full stature of Christ...and the maturity to maintain a life that only depends on God for every breath. I have walked for various times in the Spirit...twice actually...

Reading skills mainly...when the bible says ...the rest of the dead lived not again till AFTER the 1,000 years were finished.. (REv. 20:5)..and then says that the dead are judged according to the book of life....that is another judgment. Simple math skills make that two resurrections. Whoever...
