Oh boy... Whoever believes INTO Jesus has eternal life. It's a spiritual formula. It's like saying whoever enters into a plane has the life of a bird. IOW they can fly. The eternal life that John is speaking of is a KIND of life. ZOE life. This is a spiritual life that is found IN Christ. By...

Grace is where normal things don't happen. Grace overcomes law like an airplane overcomes gravity. The law of flight overcomes the law of gravity so that a heavy object can fly as if it was weightless. So it is with Christ and grace. We are under the law until we enter into Christ ...then we...

Sure...His grace is always at work. But people are justifying themselves as if grace was something they owned like a commodity. These people are fully unaware of God and His standard. If we claim something for ourselves...we lose any semblance of grace. So you can't have it both ways...if you...

Faith in God leads to miracles. Jesus said faith moves mountains. Is it so unreasonable that God's power would be sufficient to empower us to do His will? His grace is indeed sufficient. We just need to go to Him for it.

Greasy grace is a denial of the power of grace over sin. It is a form of godliness but denying the power. Instead, purveyors of powerless grace....fully ignorant of God's actual power.....will accuse truth-sayers of a works based salvation....because it is a salvation that actually works.

Are you saying that God does not justify the ungodly?

My snake venom...? Character assasination??? And I am blind to what I'm doing? The world is upside down... :) You will get half of the people or so agreeing with cheap grace...because it's the wide road that's easy. But don't confuse this with the narrow way that leads to life.

But that's still Romans 7.....not wanting to sin...but still being too weak in the flesh. That's not grace yet. That comes in Romans 8 whereby the flesh is overcome by the law of the Spirit. Now THAT's grace. :)

When we operate by faith, God empowers us to do the works prepared in advance....eternal kind of works. These works glorify God. They let people know that God is in our midst...that He is with us. Faith gets God moving in us and through us. The result is grace.

Same dead horse being beaten...hyper-grace fiction. For those who enjoy fiction, enjoy the thread.o_O

That's a ridiculous statement. Jesus taught by teaching using parables. The illustrations were a way of teaching the ways of the kingdom. You may have missed that.

Jesus is the word of God. You are idolizing a book. Of course the truth is spoken about in the bible. But the bible is not truth...Jesus is. The bible only testifies ABOUT the truth. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life! IS the bible the life of God to you?

Grace is what empowers us to go beyond our human limitations. How did Peter walk on water or heal people? Not human effort.

Again this seeing grace as a commodity. We can easily grieve the Spirit. When the Spirit is chased away...the grace goes too. You can't have a non-spiritual grace that has no presence of God. Grace isn't like a coin we put in our pockets. Nobody owns grace. Grace is how God puts us into a...

You are quoting a part of the righteousness law. As in... "The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them." It is the soul that sins that shall die. This is true. But there is a higher law than righteousness. (the...

No one is under grace AND in their own strength. One displaces the other. One precludes the other. I think at least half the people on this board have never experienced anything beyond their own power, ideas and opinions. And these have been indoctrinated into believing whoppers about themselves...

That's indoctrination my friend. You read that in a book. If I read a pamphlet about a trip to Greece....that doesn't make me a tourist. If you just read the bible and claim all the good stuff for yourself...then you are just a spoiled sinner. Look deeper.

I said you have it backwards...and you keep speaking that way....so you aren't listening anyway. But grace keeps the law. If you cannot stop sinning then you are NOT under grace but under the law. Sin shows our distance from God. But grace places us into God's bosom. Turn your ideas inside out...

This is speaking of conversion....or reversion. This happens a few times in one's life. Like Zacchaeus who gave back the money he stole from people as a tax collector. Jesus said...salvation is come here. Or the thief on the cross. Same law of righteousness. You need to study what righteousness...

That means we can abide under His wing. He can shelter us in His presence and power. But we can get up any time and walk what we think is a safe distance away...until we like sheep go astray. Are you saying that sheep never stray?
