Holy as God is holy...perfect as God is perfect...without spot or wrinkle...whiter than snow!!!! :)

Which of course we know was the case. You know...I think I'll stay with the works of faith as opposed to the works of the law!

Bless you brother!!!! :) reps to ya!

Well as long as you don't teach this for justification you will not run afoul of the OP!!! ;)

...which in turn need to die in order to produce much fruit!

I don't think you are living in the right century! There are no more Judaizers...save perhaps the sabbath keeping crowd! But nobody would go for a physical circumcision anyway....far too painful! And the kosher laws....oy vey!!!

Just read the bible without any religious indoctrination or denominational slant and you will see that miraculous power is what the gospel is all about! The power of a new life IN Christ. What do you do with all the verses I posted? Do they not apply to you? Or maybe just left-handed plumbers...

God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We need empowerment to be holy as God is holy....so you can call overcoming sin a religious experience if you wish...but obedience to God can only happen when we receive grace from heaven. You will never stop being the carnal man until you...

Jesus Christ is not a granter of immunity for sinning. He is an Empowerer to not sin. What Jesus did in His earthly life and sacrifice on the cross is meant to overcome the power of sin. We are then to overcome exactly as Jesus did...through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Anybody can say...see...

Like walking in the light...or some other spiritual experience...the joy of the Lord! In any case fire will come down from heaven in some form that will reward the faith that has touched God.

Those who walk according to the flesh will always sin. But we have Christ...do we not???? Rom_8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. A born again person has THIS option...to war according to the Spirit...

Should we be concerned with what you consider as abiding in Christ...or what the bible says??? 1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

I know when I give all when God responds and gives me a blessing from His hand. How did Abel know his sacrifice was received? How did Cain know his was not received?

in other words...positional theology!!!

How does this relationship work different than any other religion? All is the amount we give in order to get anything from God. Holding nothing back!!! We have many opportunities throughout our lives to give all...but if we never do then no transaction with God has actually taken place. As...

in which power?

in order to have more sin...or more of Christ?

I don't believe in the type of grace you have been taught. God is not like men that cover things up. The light exposes...it is darkness that covers things up. I think you may not understand light.

My grasp of grace is to abide in Christ. From there we cannot sin. If we wish to sin we must leave that abode..and go to where we are being enticed.

I think it comes from Paul who said... Gal_6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
