"Born again" is not the same as "mature again." Many who have been born again in our time have been seduced from the "simplicity" (single-minded purpose) of Christ. There is an overwhelming seduction of delusion in the churches of today that makes the truth seem foolish. And this was prophesied...

Getting more grace from God is like getting oil for your lamp (like in the parable of the virgins)...or gas for a car. If we want to do the eternal works that are prepared in advance...we need grace to do that. If we want to continue the eternal road trip...we need gas fill-ups for the car...

Actually eternal life is only found when we enter INTO Christ to walk as He walked...in that same eternal power as He did...the perfected walk...the power of the life to come. "Christ in you"...is the HOPE of glory...not the eternal life itself. To experience that eternal kind of life one must...

The power of the gospel is the freedom from sin. Matthew 1:21 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. ...not IN their sins. John 1:29 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb...

You can read the bible for yourself...you can pray. You are responsible for your own walk at some point. Not to put your trust in men. The bible also says that the Spirit will guide you into all truth. Do you believe that?

You are making this up of course. You are following the modern way of a private interpretation. Why wouldn't you prefer to understand the truth? I don't understand that. Why be happy with a human opinion when we have access to the living God?

When the bible speaks of forgiveness as in a gratuitous favour or granting pardon (karidzomai) that is speaking of what we are to do to one another. In fact God only treats us as we treat others. If we are gracious with others THEN He will be gracious with us. That is according to the law of...

Acts 26:18 18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness (actually freedom) of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Opening our eyes...going from darkness to...

...but harmless as a dove! :rolleyes:

Or didn't labour at all...;) A lot of projecting and passive aggressive behaviour.

Post #5 last sentence (OK paragraph :) ). I wrote... "OR....we can be wise and claim nothing but keep an open mind in all honesty...refusing to add a religious certainty to our ways. We can lay hold on humility and preserve the fear of the Lord. Faith then for these wise ones is to be able to...

I gave three options not two. Humility gives us a way out. But a dishonest person would make my posts to sound that way...either from a basic dishonesty or a lack of reading skills. A willful misrepresentation? How willful is that blindness? The father of lies is ever busy to deceive and...

Amen. The option of being humble doesn't seem to be seen as valid as a consideration among the indoctrinated ones.

Yes...the "sinful holiness" doctrine of men.

Actually holiness tolerates NO sin at all...otherwise it isn't holiness. A little leaven.... Holiness does not forgive. But God is also righteous. Righteousness forgives. Sin continues to separate people from God. God continues to be holy! :) The righteous are scarcely saved...but are still...

Well, there is the universal grace for a future salvation to be revealed from God poured out to all men of good will. If we follow our consciences and do what is right in the fear of the Lord, God will show mercy to us. That is God's love poured out on the world. All the world...not just the...

Grace isn't found outside the law. Grace is within the law...fulfilling the law. We establish the law by grace through faith.

The crossroads of the truth in the word is plainly seen in the parable of the 10 virgins. Five are wise and five are foolish...and these foolish ones are rejected by the Lord. So then the love of God bids us to be humble and teachable...to fear the Lord...and LIVE! But people would rather judge...

Acts 10:43 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in (into) him shall receive remission (freedom) of sins. Peter said this very thing right before the Holy Spirit fell upon Cornelius and His household. Peter spoke the truth...and God confirmed it...

Luke 4:18 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance (aphesis) to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty (aphesis) them that are bruised, In...
