It only sounds nonsensical from a human standpoint. No amount of our faith can do miracles. But even the smallest amount of faith can move mountains. This is obviously not human beliefs. Drug addicts can fully believe they can fly...and die trying. This shows that human beliefs have ZERO power...

This is too great a mystery for the present times. It's so basic yet not understood. This proves how few indeed have entered into Christ. Entering INTO Christ remains the best-kept secret in the world. All the promises are for those who are IN Christ as abiders, not just believers in Christ...

People will sin until they are filled with the Spirit. If there is room for something else besides the Spirit then it will get in. But an overflowing vessel will NOT let any impurities in. People need to be filled with the Spirit...which is a fullness or abundance of grace BESIDES or after...

This is a case of God not being LIKE a man in the way he acts. For example...saints are in the world but not of the world. Jesus came into the world as the Son of Man not a son of man. He is unlike any person that ever lived. So there is no comparison there. The emphasis is not on WHERE Jesus...

The genius of God is that we need BOTH kinds of faith to live the entire scope of human experience as He intends. However weak our own contribution is to the overall picture...as long as it is in submission to Him...what makes us human is the "fusion" of what we are and what He is together into...

Jesus' death reconciles the whole world to God. Jesus bought back His creation from the devil. With His death comes ACCESS to God...not automatic salvation...otherwise ALL men would be saved. Does the OP believe that ALL men are saved by Jesus' death? The main thing that is forgotten in all...

Membership on a Christian forum does have its privileges! :p:cool::D:rolleyes:

Welcome to the forum. :) We know that a message is from the Lord when it has two levels of meaning...both in righteousness AND in holiness. The above verse can mean two things. Either the kingdom to come in the future or the presence of the kingdom at the present time. Examples of this...

Welcome to the forum Mugre! :) <><

Renewing of the mind can be confused with the carnal mind ADAPTING to an experience. There is a world of difference between having the mind of Christ and a carnal religious mind that has gotten used to religious matters. We are very adaptable, as a means of survival. Just hope that what you are...

Eternal reality only trumps temporal reality if you enter into it. That eternal reality is only entered into by the power of the cross...becoming dead to the world and the flesh with all its reasonings and religious posturings.

Of course you will react this way. But no one is given the free gift of being a living sacrifice. THAT is what we are to return to the Lord. THAT is what gets us the second, third, fourth etc...work of grace. To be filled with the Spirit in an ongoing way requires we come before the throne of...

My people perish for lack of knowledge. Many false teachers have arisen to settle people in their flesh. This is very popular and necessary for a "successful" ministry. But it is a ministry that avoids the cross. Modern believers in the West are taught to avoid having to do anything to further...

You are not seeing that the bible testifies to the access we have for the grace needed to stand. Your religious conditioning is blinding you to the full measure of grace that is available as we go to the cross. You will not understand the throne of grace and its purpose. You would rather rest...

That's simply not true. You'd have to be familiar with Romans 7 to understand the point. Paul claimed that sin remained in his members AFTER knowing the Lord, loving the Lord, and wanting to follow after the Lord and His ways. What is being denied is the power of the cross of Christ. There is...

They are angels that serve as principalities over nations and cities. They are a lower order of angels than the ones who serve God directly. They were meant to watch over men. The angelic rebellion included these principalities who refused to serve humankind but rather became convinced that they...

This is conjecture as the bible states that God fulfilled that promise...to Israel. Abram's covenant included more than just Israel (but not less) including Ishmael and the nations listed in the following verse in Gen 15. Here is the verse that concludes the matter.. Josh. 21:43 So the Lord...

Paul is exhorting believers (that means they are already Christian) to "put on Christ" or put on the New Man...or put on the full armour of God. THAT is the fullness of grace that can be purchased from the Lord through the sacrifice of the outer man. So many people are NOT ready to be taught...

I find it amazing that people would rather feel good now about owning their salvation than to consider how they might be among the foolish virgins. HALF of believers are foolish virgins. And more if you take into account that we are in the end times. Yet so few are wise enough to consider this...

You are missing the message here. We are complete IN Him. He is not complete in us. That is why so many believers fail and lower the standard of Christ to a sinful holiness. So what you are saying is exactly upside down. Now most people will never walk in resurrection life. They are still...
