He who abides in Christ is holy as He is holy.

"1stCenturyLady, post: 439954, member: 7883"]When we truly repent from all our past sin, Jesus takes away those sins, nailing them to His cross. Yes! We are sinless of sins unto death and have received Christ's righteousness. Actually we can still be found to be sinners...unless we seek the...

As Christians we are justified by the life of Jesus....IF we are walking in that life. That's the catch. Jesus died for the sins of the world. But He was resurrected so that we might partake of the same kind of life (the eternal kind) that He lived among us. He who says he abides in Christ ought...

I have both the bible and the Spirit. it is better to have more than one reference when taking a bearing. if you took the time to check out what I'm writing you would see that it is biblical....and spiritual. A lot of people write biblical sounding things....but there is no life in it. one must...

It's not the churchy religious grace, that's for sure. ;) I testify of grace that has power. We who have been given grace are to walk in that power. But we are not to judge others. God judges these. What we do judge is how people mishandle the word, not making a distinction between the world and...

To you it seems that way because I'm not religious. God is looking for spiritual fruit not religious nuts. ;)

"justbyfaith, post: 439829, member: 7886"]It is false doctrine to say that saving grace is extended to those who haven't put their faith in Christ and His shed blood (Matthew 7:13-14, John 14:6, Hebrews 9:22). You are confusing grace and justification. Just because words sound biblical doesn't...

Those who have known surrender...full surrender to God...will realize that there is a keeping power of God...but that it is very difficult to remain fully consecrated in every situation. Consequently we will come in and out of the Spirit during our lives. And this is not a bad thing...IF we...

That's called eisegesis. You are trying to read in a conclusion in the face of the text saying something you don't like. Nobody can force you into bible literacy. You are responsible for your beliefs.

The iniquity was woven into their ministry. It's everywhere in our time.

="Enoch111, post: 439786, member: 7853"]If it's true it's not new, and if it's new it's not true. Which Pharisee said that? Not one of the more open ones I would think. Jesus was seen as an upstart bringing in new-fangled ideas....much like His followers today. We have a whole bunch of...

Word of knowledge. Useful when breaking the kingdom ice with non-believers. Prophecy is for believers...as is the word of wisdom.

Or actually experience the visitation of the Lord and come up understanding the bible for the first time... which then sounds strange to the majority.

Father and Son.... It's a lot less religiously limiting to change the names...so as not to get the brain synapses misfiring with previous indoctrinations. I think maybe this would be a good exercise...change all the names and read the bible again with a fresh perspective. :)

"Enoch111, post: 439743, member: 7853"]Every Christian should "push" (promote and proclaim) grace since God's infinite grace is the basis of our salvation. As to understanding it the least, perhaps you too have a misunderstanding, as I will point out next. People should push /promote...

LOL....OK At least you're tracking! :) But there are two (2) men named Jim in the text. One being sent and the other doing the sending. If you understand this then you will also understand how the bible is written... Take your time with this... Zech. 2: 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He...

First a lesson in logic and reading comprehension...(before the Holy Spirit inspires it would help if people learned some reading comprehension) If a text says..."Thus says Jim, I want to let you know that Jim has sent me. My name is Jim and Jim has sent me." In the above quotes...how many...

The bible says...Grace is deceitful. or...Favour is deceitful. שקר החן Skeker hachen Why? Because smug people are not careful. Spoiled people live in a false sense of security. Favour spoils a humble attitude....and all this because of sinful flesh. The fear of the Lord is meant to protect...

Let's take this verse... Rom. 4:5 But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Our faith is counted for righteousness IF we allow God to justify the ungodly...of other religions, races, traditions...whatever. God has been...

It seems that the people who push grace the most understand it the least. To have grace means to not judge others, yet the most judgmental people in the world are grace pushers. And this follows human nature. Unless the flesh has been dealt with at the cross...the old nature will latch onto...
