    Alive or Dead to Holiness

    Gal. 6:8 For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Now this concerns they who have the option to sow to one or the other. No one can sow to the Spirit if they are not in the Spirit...or at least...

    Alive or Dead to Holiness

    When we partake of His holiness we do the works OF Jesus Christ. If we are allowing the Lord to do His works through us there is a great reward...not just salvation. The righteous are scarcely saved...but the saints (holy) are abundantly saved. Rev.2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast...

    Alive or Dead to Holiness

    Gen. 2:17 “in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.” God told Adam that if he ate from the forbidden tree that he would die. The Devil said that wasn't true questioning God's authority over His own creation. Thus the first half-truth was spoken in the world. Adam didn't die from...

    For sure! :)

    Alive or Dead to Holiness

    This thread is indeed based on God's perspective...it is something that most never consider...so it won't be understood by many. God's perspective is in holiness. That is something that we can't relate to unless we have experienced it. But even if we haven't yet experienced His holiness...if we...

    Alive or Dead to Holiness

    You are confusing the issue here by mixing up 2 things that are not directly related. The peaceable fruit of righteousness comes from HIS correction...not His holiness. Holiness is already perfect. But you are not going to understand this...you will disagree because you are not really...

    Alive or Dead to Holiness

    So we see the great error in thinking that we can grow into holiness...as if we were to build up our own holy status for ourselves...what people call "the process of sanctification." But there is no process of sanctification. We are either in HIS holiness or out of it. We can however grow while...

    Alive or Dead to Holiness

    One cannot read the bible as just another book. There is a perspective that needs to be taken into account. God's perspective. That perspective is so often lacking in the private interpretations of bible readers...instead people tend to read the bible from their OWN perspective. But this...

    Freedom from Sin

    How to convert believers into the faith. But most people wouldn't want to be converted...they want more privileges...not less of them.

    Freedom from Sin

    A facade! I see this as the outer man stealing the grace and benefits that are meant for the inner man. Like the big gorilla stealing the food meant for the smaller monkeys! That's why we need the cross to do it's work on the outer man first before we can start looking at what kind of...

    Freedom from Sin

    Yes...that is the iniquity I am speaking about so often. We can know ABOUT the truth without actually knowing the truth. That is to be concerned with the holy things, the things of Jesus Christ, but while we ourselves are being unrighteous in it...misapplying the things of God to benefit...

    Am I alone...............

    Agreed! Being spiritual is to see God in everything. Being religious is about putting up a facade because there is no ability to see God in anything that doesn't have a religious label. The bible says to sing to one another in spiritual songs. So then "Bridge over troubled waters" is a...

    Grace Be Unto You

    Not so fast! ;) If we already have all we need...why should we ask for more grace to be to or upon us or others? God gives us grace out of His fulness...almost never in a great amount at first...more often as a small deposit...to see what we will do with it. Now a lot of people who have...

    Freedom from Sin

    The full victory over sin is found only at the throne of grace. God waits for us to come to the right conclusion about ourselves and our own weakness. He waits for us to turn to Him..to seek His face...His presence...His visitation and inspection...that He might give us the full measure of grace...

    Freedom from Sin

    We can't really speak of freedom from sin unless we go through the biblical progression from Romans 6 through 8. In Romans 6 we are seeing the universal grace of God acting on the believer together with the choice of the will so that he leaves behind his old life of sin. This concerns...

    The Bible puts us at a Crossroads

    Indeed He does. But when the bible speaks of abiding in Christ...that isn't just being faithful...there is a gift of grace that gets us into Him. The bible speaks on 2 levels...always...on the righteousness level and on the holiness level. What you are saying works on the righteousness level...

    The Bible puts us at a Crossroads

    Thank you. You need milk...not meat. I wish you well in your de-programming from man-taught doctrines and search for truth.

    The Bible puts us at a Crossroads

    I'm not able to get through all your indoctrination. If you want to be actually helped...read my threads carefully...and check what I say against the words from God. Please drop all that superior Christianity stuff. It is based on religious pride and arrogance. If you can't see the truth...

    The Bible puts us at a Crossroads

    I'm seeing how much error you are sowing on my thread. To me you are just troll who says the opposite of truth. As such I ignore your words as they convey nothing but opinions that have no foundation in the words from God. But just to show you are speaking of things you know nothing...

    The Bible puts us at a Crossroads

    It depends what you mean by secure... If you mean eternally saved as in an eternity with God...no. Being born again in the New Testament is the equivalent of being born in Israel (as a Jew) in the Old Testament. Just as they were rejected so can we also be. God does NOT love Gentiles and hate...
