Well you are still finding your way! :) God goes easier on newer believers. Just like a parent with a child. So God is patient and kind with us...with a love that is meant to change us. But what if we stiffen our necks and refuse to be changed by His love? What if we become spoiled and rebel...

The reason why we fear...and yes even tremble at His presence and words...is because God WILL judge all without partiality. He will judge righteously. Now many today believe that a Christian can get away with things that non-believers can't. So they make God into an unrighteous judge....with...

The flesh is at war with the Spirit and the Spirit at war with the flesh. Now championing the flesh over the Spirit has become quite popular nowadays in the church.So there are a lot of doctrines blowing around that deny the life in Christ as a reality. Sola scriptura means to be overly afraid...

We should more fear to be displeasing to God and cast into outer darkness. We should not be smug but fear. God will judge us righteously without partiality or favouritism. To be cast into the lake of fire is the second death. This is not a judgment for believers. Judgment begins at the house of...

Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord...

The tent of David...AKA... the tabernacle in the wilderness. Being LED by the Spirit in the present wilderness. As we are led by the Spirit more and more the world's pull lessens and lessens because we are following close to God. So it's about proximity to God. This is not a perfect walk...one's...

Besides a few inaccuracies you are describing the tent of David...or the tabernacle in the wilderness. Being LED by the Spirit. As we are led by the Spirit the world's pull lessens and lessens because we are following close to God. So it's about proximity to God. This is not a perfect...

Exactly! Volume never makes up for content. What I find interesting in all this is that the OP is not trying to ignore the hard verses as most dishonest people do. He is instead inventing a way for it to work...well actually he has simply been indoctrinated by some phoney teacher he was so...

To inform others on the forum on how easy it is to become just as confused as the OP about what Paul means by being "under the law"... The law of Moses: These are specific holiness laws that represent Judaism...or what it means to be Jewish. One can be "not under the law" as a non-Jew who was...

Take the law away? This is a confusion of different laws. An utter confusion and tangle of ideas. Under the law means that we are walking as human beings...in the power of the flesh. As such we will sin. Jesus did NOT come to take the law away. Quite the opposite. He came to show that His power...

Very clever. A lot here that is stated is indeed true. But the error is in the scale. Gnosticism uses spiritual truth and reality to cast the light AWAY from what is actually going on. There is a bait and switch going on. There is a counterfeit going on. Now a counterfeit would be no good at all...

There must be heresies among us so that they who are approved by God can be noticed. Behold is just one of the many heresies warned about by both Paul and John....and Jesus. Taking the words from the bible...then twisting them and turning them inside out so that they mean the very opposite of...

There is a fairy tale that parallels the fairy tale of the OP....entitled "the Emperor's new clothes." https://andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/TheEmperorsNewClothes_e.html

There is a sense that in carnal immature believers, Christ lies dormant within allowing people to indulge their temptations and stray from the truth. And then when a believer abides in Christ to walk in the Spirit, sin lies dormant (crucified) to allow a person to walk in holiness without sin...

A cup that is filled and overflowing has no impurities in it. The flow will take the pull of this world and it's temptations away before they can enter into the cup. Impurities do not flow upriver. Being filled with the Spirit means we will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Out of your...

Until men are crucified...dead to themselves and their own ideas...there will be divisions in the body. In Christ...all are united. The hard part is entering into Christ. We must sell all and forsake all to buy the field...the kingdom realm. Until then the church will be carnal...not...

...only as we walk in that life ourselves. We are to put on Christ. Not as in the modern idea of putting people on as a joke as in..."you're putting me on." There are a lot of jokers around who are putting God on. They are trying to fool Him. But there is also the real surrender at the...

Just with your take..interpretation....rendering...of the verse in question. Justified by His blood....means justified by His life....not death. The life is in the blood.

No...we are made righteous through His life in us. Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. So if we are IN His life then we won't crucify Him again with our sinful ways.

Forgiveness is based on mercy not blood. God is merciful. The blood of Christ is in exchange for our own lives. A life IN a life. And in Hebrew that is how the law is written when it says a life FOR a life.....in Deuteronomy. (the English isn't an accurate translation) Heb. 9:22 And almost...
