We are saved BY grace...not FOR grace. We are saved in order to do the works of Christ BY grace. Grace ...not a free ride down the hill but the power and strength to climb up the hill. In His strength

..we weren't able before Christ. But you are not seeing the purpose of Jesus's coming to earth. He died and was resurrected to give us His life....a life that we can live in through grace. And then it is HIS power....not ours we live in. As in...no longer I, You really need to go over the...

That's not biblical at all. Outer darkness has no fire. Fire IS light. And you are just stuck with the religious traditions of men rather than actually looking deeper into the biblical narrative. So what you should say is..."I can't tell the difference in the bible between hell and outer...

You are the one equating bible reading with salvation. I don't believe we can judge what will become our destiny. God will judge that. The bible is very specific about claiming things that aren't true. We are not to bear a false witness...or take the Lord's name in vain. So a religious bent that...

So you are just another bible "enthusiast" who has no actual testimony...but just religious beliefs? You name you claim? But how empty is that? There are people that actually experience what you are claiming as your right....but without any actual connection to God. Do you realize just how...

So you are walking over sin? You are one of the few in our time to walk in the resurrection life like we read about in the bible? What's it like to be like Christ?

We are the moody lovers. God can't go against His own holiness. So you are firmly taking a humanistic view of everything and are not seeing this from God's eternal perspective...and the biblical perspective. Without holiness NONE shall see the Lord. Grace gives us the victory over sin...no...

Make some room for the clouds of witnesses! :) Be blessed.

Am blessed TY! :) Music on hold...doing a lot of studying and seeking of late. But plan to get back to doing some jazz soon... more recordings.

What I see lacking in so many believers of today.. Honesty: Indoctrination into all the "sweet" sounding verses while denying the truth that sounds hard. Humility: So much arrogance these days among the "saved". These think that humility is for Hindus or other religions. Honour: People today...

To walk in Zion with God...to cease from our own works and walk in the Spirit...where we do the works prepared in advance...the eternal works that are from above. To enter into the grace of God in the perfection of the walk IN Christ. His yoke is easy. But to get there is very hard. The way is...

Good study and exploration you guys! :) And the very prophetic nature of the OP seems to keep the buzzards away! :)

So then we strive to enter into that rest. And the struggle is bitter indeed. :)

It sounds like you need to go to my dialectic thread...where very few admit and are honest to see the seeming contradictions! :) But here is the verse for you. Hebrews 4:11 11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.

If we go to Him He will give us His Comforter that turns the bitter to sweet. We need not comfort ourselves lest we become adulterous in so doing. Our comfort must come from Him alone. We are not to try avoiding the bitter...but rather to face it with Him. We take on the hard verses of the...

The husband here is Jesus and the woman is us....the potential Bride...or not.

Man..you are fast! ;) I was thinking of adding in the flying scroll from Zechariah...but thought to make it's own thread. But the result of the curse is the bitter given to they who STEAL the sweet from the bible and give a false swearing (seven times-ing) as to their allegiance.

The tree of life. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. His life and order by the Spirit brings in divine order to our natural chaos. God sends His Comforter to make the bitter sweet for us.

That's just it. We in God's house are not subject to the "life and death" judgment...but we are fully engaged in the "blessing and cursing" judgment of the house of God. The fact that so few believers realize this is very scary indeed. Many believers are bitter...not sweet. They are bad figs...

And one last point regarding the OP... Ez. 3:14 "So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness" וְרוּחַ נְשָׂאַתְנִי וַתִּקָּחֵנִי וָאֵלֵךְ מַר Just as in Rev. 10 with the small book...that is sweet to the taste but bitter in the belly...so too the same is...
