You can't make a law out of grace....since living from the heart does not produce laundry lists.

Opinion? The bible states that salvation ultimately is based on obedience. Whatever opinion you may entertain that goes contrary to that...well is your opinion. No one is going to be judged by their beliefs. Just their works that are of obedience to God's will...whether they realize they are...

The head of every man is Christ. They who step away from their own controls allow themselves to be "be-headed" from their own lordship over their lives in order that Jesus would sit on the throne of their hearts and minds.

No such revelation is required since we have already been told how things turn out. But how many people are paying attention? Imagine going into a building (knowing that it is about to collapse) to warn people to get out while there is still time...saying..."half of you will leave this building...

Too short of what? :rolleyes:

Now before this modern age of conjecture...as hard as that is to imagine in our time...God would work through His ministers...His servants, stewards...His sent ones. A visit from a steward of the mysteries of God was basically the same as being visited and inspected by God Himself. And people...

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: We only see visions when the Spirit is poured out on us...

Since the bible itself cannot give an honest person any real idea of one's own true condition, God must have another way of helping us to ascertain what we are lacking...or if we are going astray. So then God also gives us spiritual guidance...by the Holy Spirit...that we might know who we are...

Now any honest person who owns a bible and believes in God knows that any kind of opinion as to what God will decide about us personally is strictly based on conjecture. I say an honest person. There are a lot of indoctrinated people out there. And a lot of dishonesty. con·jec·ture...

The truth should call us to question our certainties. As in....Lord...is it I? If someone asks...well, am I even saved? ...the problem is not with the truth. The truth is meant to challenge us. What we have seen on this thread is the flesh trying to overturn the truth because it is doing what...

How many believe that if you are born again...that's it...you're in! As if being born again was an end rather than a beginning. Of course if one is born again that one will not see death. What is in question is the quality of that salvation. There is a salvation to honour. And there is a...

Like when people say Lord, Lord? That's a religious posture. Name it and claim it. You read it therefore you imagine it for yourself. An indoctrination mantra...that has no basis in truth or reality. But people will believe fables over truth if that makes them feel good. People take the verses...

Not yet. You are not following the words...the meanings. Is it that you refuse to fear the Lord?

Rom. 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

When one sees things backwards the temporal becomes eternal and the eternal becomes temporal. Good appears as evil and evil as good. Jude was specific in his warning as to the eternal destiny of separation from God into outer darkness. But don't take my word for it... Jude 1:10 But these speak...

Amen. He came to model the victorious walk in these mortal bodies...so that when we enter into Him we put on His perfected humanity in the form of grace. So we are to walk IN Him. (this is not spoken of in our time though.)

Salvation is only found in Jesus Christ...not in any church. We never become the owners of salvation to dispense it by our efforts. We never have the riches in Christ for ourselves....they are only found in Him.

The riches of a disciple of Christ are found only in Christ. In this world they are never our own. It's not as if we are receiving payment here for what we have done (rewards) in Christ....or even as a free gift. A servant first serves his master...THEN the master sees to recompensing his...

Yes. Jesus redeems us from being ungodly by a polar shift in our attitude. So we are not to seek to be saved...but rather we seek to lose our lives. Of course the Adamic nature can't understand this let alone do this. How many Christians still reason from the Adamic mindset? In our time...I...

The killing of Jesus Christ was the end of the Jews as being representatives of God on the earth. As we say...it was a game changer. God sought other husbandmen after that. Mark 12 1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and...
