I have often used this story to illustrate the 'Emperors new clothes" of righteousness among they that have been told that they are now infallibly saved and sanctified and glorified for all time....etc. The Laodicean church thought they were well clothed in everything they could possibly have...

Amen. it is a gift.

Agreed! Totalitarianism seems right in the moment...but the fruit isn't ripe. ;)

I think we need a bit of both. We have to allow ourselves some room for growth and more understanding. God has this way of being infinite after all. ;)

Do the doctrines we have received help us to know God? Do they cause us to love others? Or do they cause us to judge?

Inductive reasoning: Whereby we already have a conclusion in mind as we seek for evidence of it. Deductive reasoning: Where we are trying to find a conclusion by reason of evidence. But the best way to understand the bible is by the same Spirit that wrote it in the first place. :)

"H. Richard, post: 428044, member: 6940"*** All of these suffered for the gospel. They suffered because of their faith in God. My message is that faith in God's work on the cross is the only thing that saves in this age of grace. Because I teach this I am taken to task for saying that...

This statement... But salvation has always been by grace through faith in God and Christ, and the perfect finished work of Christ on the Cross. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. We are that...

We can only fulfill the holy requirements of the law through grace. So then what we couldn't do due to the weakness of the flesh we now put on Christ in order to do as He did. That is the purpose of His coming. To equip us to walk in what He has perfected in the weakness of the flesh. Romans...

2 Cor. 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

A very good post. And how do we get more grace? By going to God. That's the whole point of it. We are to go to God by faith in order to receive more grace. We are to have a personal contact with the living God..as the saints of old. We are to have a personal relationship. That is what God...

There is another kind of faith. There is a kind of faith that moves mountains. Was Jesus exaggerating? At any rate we are to go from faith to Faith. From our own kind of human faith to the Faith of Jesus Christ. His faith...His life. Rom 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from...

Where is the scriptural support for giving chapter and verse when speaking the truth? You won't find it in the bible...

The bible. There was no specific questions...so no specific answers. This should be enough explanation.

Acys 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. You don't find Paul or Jesus for that matter giving chapter and verse...we are to...

2 Cor. 12:9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. But so is the easy demand to provide verses for every single thing I said. I may as...

As I said before...it is on you to check out the post for it's integrity with the bible. All my statements are scriptural and true. If you ever want to know the scriptures...now's the chance. Otherwise you just think what you think is scriptural...but without any knowledge to that effect.

Spiritual Sight Now unless our eyes have been opened to see beyond the physical realm...we will have no choice but to see as any other human sees. We will see with our natural carnal eyes. Our natural senses will function as well as anyone else and enslave us in the same way. Our faith can help...

That I May Win Christ How many consider this as the goal of their faith? How many believe they already have everything...including Christ..so that they are now rich and in need of nothing? How many think that the first step in a race is equivalent to winning that race? What was Paul after...

A Glorious Weakness? 2 Cor. 12:9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. Power from God comes through our weakness. It is His strength...
