From our faith to His faith....from our life to His life. From our righteousness to His righteousness... I could go on... :)

I would not have lasted long in a time where orthodoxy to a man-made doctrine was enforced by legal authority. But the persecution of today is to be evil spoken of, mis-understood, misrepresented and shunned. But these same people also put Jesus to death. I am in good company...as all who live...

More opinion...a more ignorance of God and the bible. You accuse others of not regarding the bible...but you are the worst offender. Still you will not stop with your legalistic ways.

But the pride and indoctrination are so great in the churches of today that unless you pander to the fantasy that every single spoiled believer will one day rule with Christ....there is a hizzy fit to contend with. Where's the humility if there is so much grace? There is a huge surprise coming...

You have have Jesus having no need of faith. That is not who Jesus was and is. In all ways Jesus was tempted as we are. yet He was without sin. It doesn't say that He was without temptation. So with every temptation there is a need to overcome. And with that a risk of succumbing to that...

OK now we're onto something here. That is true...that until we enter into Him fully...we will experience these flashes of light...these eternal moments. The same goes for the moment we are born of the Spirit. For some it is but a moment of perfection. But for others longer. For me it was days...

You see...you are not getting who Jesus is...He could have sinned. He was and is 100% human. You are thinking He was half and half. But then you are making Him into a superman...rather than see that He came to us so we could be exactly as He is. As He is so are we in this world. So you are...

Luke 2:52 And Jesus continued to advance in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Jesus was not born an adult. He began as a baby...advanced through childhood...and became a mature adult. Your thought about blasphemy shows that you don't really believe that Jesus was fully...

I may have been certain sermon topics that were safe to say without too many questions at the end. Just a guess...

Heb. 7:19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. We tend to see the law as something evil. But the law is holy. Do we hate what is holy? The problem with the law and knowing the law is that it makes...

From faith to faith. Blessed is he that believes and has not seen. But also "blessed is he that is not offended in Me." It isn't wise to pit what is good against what is perfect. Humility tells us that God's will is what is important not the ruffled pride of they who are not the center of...

This is not about people but about Jesus Christ. It is too human to focus on other people or ourselves. That's what keeps us bound up in this world. A living faith leaps into His presence. But we need His help even in this. To walk without seeing (which is by our faith) is still a good thing...

Amen! Our faith takes us to His faith which takes us to Him. Paul calls this a mystery. The mystery of being in Him. It is far. Especially we that live in the world today. Let patience have it's work in us. Persevering....never wavering. Waiting on the Lord. Bless you sister. :)

Actually just behaviour is good. The New Covenant doesn't abolish just behaviour. Under the Old covenant nothing was made perfect. Heb. 7:19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. What people mistake...

Thanks for this example of drawing a wrong conclusion. :) Jesus is still telling the truth today...even if it is no longer "our" truth. We are at the point where the church can't hear the truth anymore...never mind the world.

People speak much of maturity...but very little of purity. I want to ask...maturity in what? We can get used to an occasional sin...a continued weakness..a fragility of faith. Some would say that maturity is just settling in on less than a faithful life. A new believer that is on fire for the...

Our calling is to bear a holy fruit...a perfect kind of fruit....an eternal fruit. They who do so will receive a reward for their faith. Faith pleases God. And it does take faith to enter into the heavenly realm where such fruit is produced. 1 Cor. 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that...

Jesus commands us and compels us to "Be perfect (teleos)." (Mat. 5:48)His resurrection ensures that we have been given the grace to obey and conform to His will that we do just that very thing. But there are many unbelievers in the ranks of they who say they are believers. Many believe for a...

Most believers think that Jesus was perfect in His life on earth. By perfect I don't mean mature. Jesus was immature as a child...but always perfect. Perfection is the image of God in any given situation. We could say it was a state of being or even a place. It is walking in a heavenly...

Don't draw the wrong conclusion...that's how God saves us...to overcome as He overcame. How? By abiding in Him....His life, His faith, His grace, His perfection.
