The Power of the Cross Can we put ourselves to death? No. We are not talking about what a man can do through self-discipline as in the eastern religions. The natural man can do a lot of things...but being in Christ means a power outside (but now inside) of ourselves accomplishing the...

What Does It Mean to be Dead in Christ? 2 Cor. 4:10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. What does it mean to be dead in Christ? We see that the pathway to life in Christ is through His death. But in what...

I see. How can you know if something is unscriptural before looking things up? What knowledge do you have of scripture?

There are 2 tablets of the law...which contain the 2 main commandments which are to love God and others. The first tablet has 4 holiness commandments...towards loving God. And the 2nd tablet has 6 commandments covering loving others. What has been replaced under Christ is the first tablet (and...

We are here to discuss ideas not judge others anyway.

The Bereans would check the scriptures for themselves after Paul spoke to them to see if indeed what he said was true. So I'm going to give you the same chance to prove yourself faithful and not slack expecting me to do all the work for you... :)

"7angels, post: 429031, member: 4247"]what law of sin in us? what are you referring too? if we are complete in Christ and we have His righteousness and Holiness then how is sin able to live in us? So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. Rom. 7:17 This is the law of...

Holiness is based on LIFE from heaven...the life of Jesus Christ IN us. But what of the law of sin that is in us? Is it not like the law of gravity that keeps us in bondage to this world through sin? YES! But there is a new law that is come through the resurrection life of Jesus. It is the law...

We begin with a small deposit of grace...like a sample. This is the first deposit which is Christ in us the "hope" of glory (but not the glory itself). But to get the full measure we need to go to God...to seek His presence. We still need to enter INTO Christ. God will not give us the death and...

We all have the same access to the death of Christ. He atoned for the sins of the whole world. That includes the past. But we have access to much more than that by entering into Christ. He was raised from the dead for OUR justification....we who are believers. How? We are justified by...

Amen. We are redeemed by His death...but justified by His resurrection...as we enter into His eternal kind of life by the Spirit. Rom. 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto...

There is much confusion about this...and that is that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. It is...for God so loved the world...not just the church or believers. The...

Jesus didn't overcome for us...but He gives us His life so that we can overcome as He did. Rev. 3:21 'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Seeing the kingdom requires a spiritual faculty of seeing. There are a number of spiritual senses such as perceiving, hearing and seeing. We are to become spiritual in Christ...which means we can operate in both realms as the same time...like Jesus did here on Earth. The gospel is about opening...

As long as it is realized that grace takes us farther down the path of God's intent in giving us the law. We are to surpass the law in the same way Jesus did. A person who surpasses the law is not guilty of breaking the law...because his conduct is better than it. The law was given to show sin...

The association varies from loose to non-existant...to openly hostile in my view. There is no more "race" in "grace" anymore it seems. Everything is relegated to a future deliverance from sin. But where is the overcoming faith and experience of Christ? Where is the victory in Christ? Leaders...

1Co 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. We will all be judged by what we have done with what we have been given. Behaviour is the fruit we are producing.

1 Peter 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. Both Jews AND Gentiles stumble at the word. The Jews because of the deity of Christ. They have difficulty with a descendant of David being...

Peter as the author... and we are to forsake temporal things for the eternal ones. Cities are included in that.

The kingdom of God is inversely proportional to numbers. So I don't see what the number means. How many of these have forsaken all to follow Christ in newness of life in resurrection power? How many have just been duped into a future bitter disappointment? I would think that the numbers of...
