A person who goes through the door is no longer ungodly....so then you are in error still. You are trying to fit God's ways in a box that you are comfortable with. A person who knows God would never think of doing such a thing.

This is how iniquity works... A Christian believes He/she is saved...and somehow that qualifies them to judge all things. But show that same "saved" person a verse with a difficult truth...and that person will deny it. So then the judgment is carnal...not spiritual. It is only spiritual people...

If you really want to understand the bible...you need to try not eliminating one truth by misunderstanding another and having them cancel each other out. You are the one who chose that verse that says God justifies the ungodly....but you actually don't believe it. If I recite the verse back to...

Old habits die hard. I think we all have that issue in one way or other. It also seems that once a person has read a verse a certain way...it is very difficult to see it another way. We get conditioned into thinking a certain way...and are oblivious to any other possibility...even if the present...

justbyfaith, post: 439697, member: 7886"] If someone is a worker of iniquity they are not born again. It is not that they are condemned for that they didn't obey the Lord; it is that they are condemned for that they were never born again. Their disobedience is only the evidence to all who...

Dispensationalism denies that in Christ there is no difference between people. It is a conjuring of a scheme that has left out the Holy Spirit. So then anything taken from that source of thinking is carnal in nature...not spiritual or real. This error has gone a long way to creating a religious...

Stranger, post: 439592, member: 7282"]No, this is very wrong. Our own righteousness is not imputed to us. It is what we have. And is as filthy rags. God's righteousness is also His. It is not imputed to Him. Utter confusion. Your up is down and down is up. If God's righteousness is...

We fulfill the law through grace...which is the power to walk as Jesus walked. That is what the gospel is about. We can have a share in the life of God.

Spiritual things cannot be understood by the natural mind....enter dispensationalism.There is a judgment for all people...we all need to be accepted into the beloved. There are no guarantees in reality. We need to be faithful till the end.

Too true. What is lacking is experiential testimony of the living God....like we see in the bible. Actually knowing God...not just knowing certain verses and the doctrines that twist the meaning of the word. There is an experience of walking in Christ that the bible testifies of...but is very...

As for the Christian, we are simply awaiting the redemption of these mortal bodies. That means that we need to move into the life of Jesus right now as that will determine what we can expect at the final redemption. So then a holy person...will have the whole package....a new body, robes of...

I would say..."Do you believe we can enter into eternal life today?"

We serve a military God. The "host" of heaven is the "army" of heaven. The spiritual realm is on a war footing. Spiritual warfare is very real. The angelic host is based on authority and ranking...just like an army. When we enter into the spiritual fight....we enter into a military order based...

The Vikings believed in an afterlife....as did the ancient Egyptians...etc We Christians believe in a spiritual life and more than that we actually enter into that life....that just keeps going on and on. That's why it's called eternal life. So then a believer in Jesus never dies. There is no...

I agree. Too often Evangelicals trade in humility for something that is best left to God. People seem Assurance crazy these days...taking any form of assurance they can get...whether it is true or false. Just pick your fave verses.

There is only one Beatles group...it's representatives are John, Paul, George, and Ringo. There is only one Gospel...it's testimonials are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

So how are you doing with the "living sacrifice" part of the bargain?

Exactly. The lack of clarity....even the twisting of meaning of key words has led the church to it's present powerless state. You are now doing the very thing you are warning others about by sticking to a vague statement like "to credit to one's account". Religious lawyers can have a field day...

"gadar perets, post: 439357, member: 7741"]We have no choice but to walk in the shadow since the fulfillment has not come yet. It has...you are missing what Jesus did and the grace that is now available. So you are latching onto the shadow and missing the light that cast that shadow...

The eternal perspective is seen from a distance. From up close all is bafflement and confusion...
