Here is something from the bible (Jesus speaking) and is meant for they who have their wires crossed and put the bible above interaction with the living God by the Spirit. Mat. 23:19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? Which is greater...

This is something that is not taught in modern churches...but grace is like a "double-edged sword". Like the word of God itself. The origin is holy. The destination must also be holy. Grace ....like the words from God...can come back to bite us so to speak. To whom much is given MORE is...

It is the same word in hebrew...cHen. Favour (grace) is deceitful.

A lot of confusion here. If we get away from religion for a moment and look at what Paul is saying but from a different angle. Now God knows those who will become astronauts. He sees the future after all. So then those He knew were predestined to be astronauts did grade school...and then high...

I take it as...without the requisite fear and respect for the Lord and His body.

Is. 26:10 Let favour (grace) be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord. I see people having strange ideas concerning grace. God is love...He is good. But that same God will also...

What the Christian life is not...is getting all the wordings right and believing you have everything in the bible because you believe you do. Paul makes some pretty far out statements. Statements that need to be taken to God....not just accepted blindly as if they are understood or actually...

Harsh....Where is this attitude coming from in you? Are you posting from love in the Spirit? Or is it from somewhere less edifying? I use scriptural arguments. Personal attacks are both a sign of failure as well as showing a lack of love.

Insufficiency of the bible? You are very far off track here. Christ is our sufficiency not a book. Grace is our sufficiency...not bible verses. You are not understanding the bible you find so sufficient. It points to a LIVING God. A God who we can walk with and experience. The whole point of...

A person can't force the indwelling Christ to become the only life he/she lives. Two things must happen first. The natural part of us needs to be on the cross AND we need to enter INTO a person who isn't us...by the Spirit. We need to further enter INTO Christ. When we are on the cross and...

Hi Nancy I see forgiveness as total...100% washed. But future salvation is always conditional. Repentance is needed.

His grace is the power that takes us from our sinful natures and into His divine nature. walking by grace is to walk even as He walked. We overcome this world through abiding in Him...which is by grace through faith. That is our salvation from this world and the lusts thereof. Only a walk in...

The Christian life is backwards. Well, actually this world has been reversed from it's original polarity. It has gone from the service of God and good ...to the serving of mankind and wickedness. Jesus said...if we seek to save our lives we will lose them...but if we forsake our lives for...

As you are no doubt aware the devils of New Jersey have been cast aside to make room for Saint Louis in the finals. Have you considered that the two sticks mentioned in Ezekiel... Ez 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of...

Yours truly! :) Who are you on the other site?

Now we're getting somewhere. ;) Dan 11:13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches. Now everybody knows that Wayne Gretzky is Canadian and that he played...

An opinion...and a poor one at that. No grace there. No kindness. No love. No truth.

As long as we live with selfish motives we will never understand the gospel nor the ways of God. God is selfless and only properly understood through the same kind of selflessness. Otherwise we tend to get things exactly backwards. Now a man who doesn't stand up to, say, a bear attacking his...

Of course we have a righteousness of our own...what are you talking about? Of course we have a life of our own. These are meant to be submitted to Him. They are OUR capacity for good or evil or to do things in general. They are indeed ours to do with as we please. We are not robots after all...

The bible is often abused and misused by bad motives. It is used to re-enforce that which the bible testifies against.But then the bible doesn't claim to be the truth...it proclaims Jesus as the living Truth. The bible isn't God...but it speaks about God and from God. The bible has no...
