Again what Paul did and what we do are not the same. We are each unique on our own journey of faith...even if the best way is to walk in the faith OF Jesus Christ. You are confused I'm afraid. You aren't reading the bible properly. ALL have sinned...but whoever sins does not know Christ...THAT...

Each person has to go to Christ. You can't live vicariously through Paul. If Paul describes a proximity to Christ he experienced that doesn't make it automatic for all his readers. It is religion that does this sort of thing. What it should do is cause us to seek the Lord for what he...

Glad you have been reformed and welcome here! :)

See what I mean...o_O:rolleyes:

Only if confusing Abraham with Jesus is being on the ball. Phinehas was also deemed righteous for what he did...kill a man and woman. Same words to justify him as with Abraham. "Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. And that was counted unto him for...

Seeing that God's imputes the righteousness of Christ on a person must be in the kool-aid...because it isn't in the bible. You don't understand that God justifies people for what THEY do. We will be judged according to what WE have done...not Jesus. But you are deaf and blind so you can't read...

This can be easily misunderstood to mean that anyone who does anything right is just like Jesus in His full Personhood. But this speaks of the humanity of Jesus. The bible doesn't lie...and Peter says that they who do righteousness are ACCEPTED with God. Are they exactly like Jesus in EVERY...

OK. With humans there is always a good and bad side. The good side of it is the bible translated into the language of the people. The bad side is all the theo-illogical nonsense that accompanied that. :) Just read up on the histories of Luther and Calvin. They were like Paul...but BEFORE his...

I marvel at the comic book interpretations people put on the bible. The robes that the saints wear in the future kingdom are they the righteousness of Christ or their own righteousness learned by Christ being formed in them? Rev. 19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen...

Actually a direct contradiction of your man made indoctrination. Imputing righteousness is only righteous if the one receiving the imputation is ACTUALLY righteous. Otherwise you are endorsing fables. God does NOT endorse fables. People like you do, however. That is in your own mind....not the...

None of us have God's righteousness. That is impossible. None of us has God's power or His good looks either! ;) What is God's remains God's. His holiness is always His own. But we can become partakers of His attributes by entering into Christ. All these attributes of God are found in Him...not...

And yet Protestantism is growing with the masses. And that is very understandable seeing it is based on human logic...a very flawed logic based on a complete subversion of the truth of the gospel. I'm not saying this to champion Catholicism. All of man's ways are like filthy rags.

Soul Man, I have come to see your humility and goodness of heart, but nevertheless, there is a lot of error here. :) People claim the experience of Paul..without the experience of Paul. You can't just make a philosophy based on what another man experiences. Paul was testifying of HIS journey of...

The whole premise of Luther's protests is based on a very human logic. It surmises that we already have everything from God that we will ever have...we just need to redefine things...which is what he did. So then a Christian becomes just a forgiven sinner. As if Jesus' power over sin was but a...

But then there is mass reformation...which sounds like a good thing. But we have been going down rabbit trails for centuries...getting mixed up in the great delusions of our time. I believe it's time for truth and clarity. Allowing the "reformation" to be seen for what is really is...a blip in...

A theology is mainly a religious philosophy. Too often this approach obscures the reality of what God has done and is doing in favour of a theoretical affirmation that really has no meaning. Was Jesus theologically crucified at Golgotha? Were the soldiers that crucified Him theologians? Luther...

The bible calls this...the faith OF Christ. Not just a surmising or a speculative belief. But a living faith based on an actual encounter. It is an important distinction. I see this stage as a struggle walk...where there are 2 forces trying to pull us away from each other....the flesh and the...

Amen. And this is not properly understood. Indoctrination has shifted away the understanding of what righteousness is...to a faulty understanding of what holiness is. So then many believers display NEITHER in their lives. How? Well non-believers far too often are ALL vilified as unrighteous...

Word...

A speculative belief before God reveals Himself to us? It is only the Holy Spirit who can reveal Jesus to us...non-speculatively that is...so then it is a salvation by-product to know that Jesus is who He is. John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father...
