While I am not in the least bit superstitious I think it is bad luck to talk about it! ;)

That is not what the bible teaches...that is your spin. The gospel is according the power of God...not the laxity of God. Grace is the power to be exactly as Jesus.

Your post is very confused...in may ways...

What about the idolatry of imagined grace? grace fulfills the law of God. The false gospel is a message without power...it is the "emperor's new clothes" of supposed righteousness.

Thank you for encouraging the brethren...

We are having a similar conversation on another site...and this regarding the fate of the wicked saved ones. I believe you have to look at the "outer darkness" as comparative in relation to the rest of heaven. There are several reasons for this, which I will attempt to be brief in explaining...

It replaces various "doctrines" with the truth. The truth is according to life in the Spirit...not human calculations. This is what the bible is testifying of. We don't put our belief in just words...but we are to put faith in Christ..for real. Everything we do is to be in Christ...with Him...

This is true...but there is more to Christianity than a better animal sacrifice. There is a new creation in Christ...in a power that walks in Him...walking exactly as He walked. So we are perfected in love. 1Jn_4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of...

We are living now in that future. In John 15...Jesus says..Abide in Me!! Where? In the abode He prepared for us! We are to walk in Him so to walk as He walked. As He is...so are we in the world. We have this treasure in earthen vessels (human bodies)

Modern people , especially in the Western world are very rich...and have no need of God....well except for the immunity from the penalty for sins that many think Jesus affords. The actual Christian life begins at regeneration by the Holy Spirit. God wants to dwell in us....but He also wants to...

How can something that is dead still produce anything? Are you talking pre-regeneration?

But God has removed our former sin and our former conduct and crucified it with Christ. It has been removed as far as east is from west.

It is experiential. In the Spirit we see through His glory in the form of light! Even though it feels crazy at first...you do get used to it and it becomes a place of worship for you to be IN God. Let your love for God grow so that you are willing to forsake all things in order to follow Christ...

We can walk that way any time we surrender fully to God. His desire is that we walk in Him today.

Walking in the Spirit is walking in that timeless place all the time. From there we don't sin...but we walk as Jesus walked. So that is to become our new "normal". Find a spiritual community that also walks that way. Walk in resurrection life!

One man's lawlessness affects what happens in the world...especially for the Christian. The church is responsible for it's abandoning holiness. This abandoning of holiness has caused a shift away from righteousness both in the church and in society. The church is being led by society now not so...

Actually not so close! How can we be without spot or wrinkle if we still be sinful? The old man is crucified with Christ.

But we do perfect works in Him. In Him there is no sin at all.

We are called to be the righteousness of God on earth...in all holiness. We do this only as we abide in Christ who is our holiness!

And this very position of lawlessness leads to gay ministers ...ok maybe not that particular lawlessness...but lawlessness regardless. If our Christianity does not uphold the commandments of God...then we are worse than sinners. Rev_14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they...
