You have some good points...but I see a deviation in that we don't grow into perfection. Perfection is already there IN Christ for they who are translated INTO Him. The difficulty is actually entering into Christ. In Him is no sin. We are allowed to enter in by the approval of God who responds...

Being under grace means we are in Christ so as to walk as He walked...in His power over sin. Of course there is a learning curve to this. But the walk is on that level. If we have never walked beyond human strength then we are still under the law. That is the truth as difficult as that may...

Esau represents the old sin nature. Jacob represents the part of us that can be redeemed. When our inner Jacob connects with God through Christ we become Israel but also as our inner Esau is crucified with Christ.

I think you are in the wrong forum.

This virus attacks they who have a compromised immune system. Social distancing...lots of vitamin C and D....and the joy of the Lord...which is our strength. :)

I'm a follower of Christ so I have nothing to protest against. I accept the will of God.

Good question. It becomes very hard to distinguish what is of value and truthful ...with what is just a religious preference. But one must also add in into the mix the prejudice of a very fallen humanity that judges very selfishly against anything that might curtail it's own perverted sense of...

Teddy bears and a rainbow...check! Our youngest daughter needs to keep busy!

It then behooves each of us to be able to discern the difference between a broad way and a large room.

Matthew 7:13-14 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The Christian...

All false doctrine begins by a denial of life in the Spirit...a denial of a life in the presence of God empowered to walk as Jesus walked. So then ALL heretics walk in their own strength. But what makes them heretics isn't just that they walk in their own power...but that they teach a form of...

There are so many modern errors in the modern teachings.....like layers of an onion. The more you peel away the doctrines the more you want to cry. And it all begins with a misunderstanding of the gospel. And a continuing lack of spiritual life.

Before Israel became spiritually whole (shalem) He was called Jacob. And Jacob continues to represent Jews who are not yet spiritually whole.

Amen! God can justify us by faith because He sees the works in advance. But people here want to justify themselves based on their beliefs....which is an idea that is very foreign to truth.

Or rather it is you filtering God through your mind to arrive at that. God is NOT narrow minded. And the club is a human club that claims to know all about God. Quite the opposite. You seem to have an exactly backwards way of seeing things....so at least there is a consistency. What your...

What I find so dishonest and misleading about purveyors of modern "doctrines" is a lack of the truth that God is very selective in whom He accepts into the beloved. Many will fail the test. Especially considering the lack of wisdom, humility and fear of the Lord that is so widespread these days...

The parable of the 10 virgins shows...for they who can discern it...that there is more than one step into the abundant life. There is the gift of the lamp....and then the gift of the oil that gives light to the world....when these are put together. Now half the virgins (of Israel) neglected...

Ps. 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation(S), and call upon the name of the LORD. כּוֹס-יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֶקְרָא The Hebrew text has the word for "salvation" as plural...or "yeshouot" ...and for good reason. There are 2 salvations necessary to enter into the kingdom...

We won't be judged by what we have been given...but what we have done with it. So we will be judged AGAINST what we have been given. This whole idea of many modern bible readers with their fear of a salvation that actually works is the sign of the times. We will only be judged by our works. No...

The element that is missing here is that pistis also means "faithfulness" as well as faith. Pisteuo means...to be faithful...the actual verb meaning of pistis and this works along with the continuing act of believing towards salvation. So then faith and faithfulness work together. As does the...
