Penal substitution is backwards. God wasn't so angry about sin that He killed His own Son in anger. God would never take out a person's sin on another person. For God so LOVED the word.... not...for God was so ANGRY at the world. So here we have just one more case of drawing wrong...

Amen. 1 John 1:7 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Your presumed intimate knowledge of Satan, and his deceptive practices, if in fact you think you know what you are even talking about, is not welcome on this thread. (There is a section on the forum for other religions if you are interested in sharing more of your experiences.) I hope you are...

You're lying.o_O

This thread should be renamed..."Why is humility so important?" :)

The irony here is that as this very inexperienced young brother seeks for approval for himself...he needs to tear down anything that doesn't bring that same religious experience he had ....to sacrifice the experience of others for the sake of approval for himself. He will crawl over others to...

That's your pride from the outer man speaking. A humble man would ask...as the disciples of Jesus did..."Is it I?" As in "Lord, am I like that?" So then real faith exhibits self-doubt in weakness. But pride and certainty comes from the outward rebellious nature in a man...even a religious pride...

I would teach you the difference between being puffed up and being edified. The first is towards the self-love and self-protection of the outer man....which you are fully engaging in at the present time...unknowingly of course. And the latter is by being humble and letting the truth sink into...

Enoch, you don't realize just how much you are like our divisive new friend. Just how much pride and self-love you also exhibit...albeit a lot more concealed. This happens when you don't know that you are speaking, not from the weak and graceful inner man...but from the strength and head...

Be careful....very careful...your self-love is getting in the way of God's commands to love others...and even esteem others as higher than yourself. As long as you are protecting yourself...even a legitimate part of yourself which is the inner man, you will be causing offense to others in the...

Good testimony. But be careful not to try making the Christian walk conform to only what you have experienced. There is a LOT to experience in the Lord. And the body of Christ is very diverse in experience and gifting. We are not to bring division into the body. (heresy) I was baptized into the...

People in this present time have relegated walking in the Spirit to walking as any other man but with a sincere effort at doing what is right. Or it may even be being led by the Spirit...but NOT actually walking IN the Spirit. So then people exaggerate their level of walks to believe in lies...

The difference between the saint and the righteous is whose power is being walked in. A righteous man does what is right with what he has already been given. A righteous person will sin...but he will bring restitution for those sins. He will ask forgiveness and correct the fault done to others...

Nice! :)

Amen. This is the basic righteousness requirement that fulfills the second tablet of commandments...to love your neighbour as yourself. Although this is an OT standard...it is still the right thing to do...and God sees this as doing righteousness. Of course God has "upped the ante" in the NT...

Word! If Christian was a verb instead of noun....as in...behaving like a Christian instead of labeling yourself as one...there would be a huge attitude shift.

This is to confuse physical seeing with the spiritual faculty that comes with the new birth in Christ. You can't SEE the kingdom unless you are born from above. John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees...

John tells us that IN Him (Jesus) is no sin. Very few people believe that. People take a theory of the truth and nod their heads...but as soon as reality rears it's head they deny it. Do you believe that when we enter into Him, who knew no sin, that we take on this same perfection that He...

We are to have confidence in God...and NOT in some supposed religious formula we may or not wish to believe in. The kind of faith that enters into fellowship with God is not the same as convincing ourselves we are saved. This happens far too much...where the confidence is put in a salvation...

Self-denial is self-effort. Many believers are not honest about the idea of being crucified with Christ. They are TRYING to be crucified a finger at a time...or so they think. But we are crucified in one swift operation of God so that we become dead to sin...and alive to God to walk in His...
