This is a good picture. But the conclusion is wrong. There is no warning in this picture...just a warm fuzzy feeling that lulls people to sleep. The people that continue in the outer court will be rejected. Those who remain in the holy place but refuse to be fully consecrated will never see...

The glory of Judaism is the Torah and the laws it contains....they are the people of the Book (bible). This law demarcates them as holy and distinct from all other people. All others (Gentiles)are seen as lawless and lost. NOT holy! Becoming Christian does not mean we join them (the Jews) in...

We are saved before we die in order to be discipled. There is no salvation on the shelf. There is no burying this salvation for future use. If we do not surrender everything to Christ then we will have our salvation (talent) revoked and be kicked out of the kingdom. All this hijacking of the...

I don't prefer the ESV...but in the case of this verse it shows the proper emphasis. I read the KJV the same way...but it coiuld be open to a wrong interpretation is all. We are to live in the life that the blood of Christ paved the way for. So our emphasis is always on the life. The same goes...

Yes..Romans 4 is about the unnecessariness of circumcision to be children of Abraham. The law of circumcision to be God's people was a sign that originated by the faith of Abraham. So Gentiles don't need circumcision for justification...just the same quality of faith as Abraham.

We are not seeking to be made righteous by our own power or strength.....but in the Lord's power. This is a higher law...the law of holiness in the life of Jesus. We are learning to abide in Christ in all circumstances...even walk in a total consecration. Sin is just an indicator that we are...

Circumcision

Yet you stand firmly behind a daily...sin repent sin repent sin repent? .

How do you know that your faith in His completed work is acceptable to God?

Yes! The whole fallacy is based on a man declaring himself righteous before God because he has read some verses. A clearer case of self-righteousness cannot be found.

Concerning coming in and out of Zion in Christ....do you live in a house? Do you ever leave that house? Are you living in and out of your house? It takes great faith to enter into Christ...it takes faithfulness to remain. If our faith /faithfulness is found wanting for whatever reason...we...

The knowledge of the truth is the doorway to the righteousness of God. We know the truth and it sets us free...this freedom is found within the righteousness of God. We have covered this before... a person who is not able to hear the gospel cannot reject it. While there were righteous among...

An event and a process that makes us ready for the Master's indwelling and use.

I accept that the KJV says what it says...it is the interpretation of what it says that is at issue. :) Hi D. Ironically the verse you quoted showed the ESV version which reads Romans 3:25 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show...

Yet supposedly higher functioning people don't think they need close communities to thrive!

Haz, you have certainly set your sights low. Why is the lowest possible standard important to you? Are there loafers in the kingdom?

The difference is what creates the problem we see among so many. Richard Burger maintains that he puts his entire trust faith confidence in the shed blood of Christ. When we take a God-ward view and turn it inside out to make it man-ward we get an exact subversion of the truth.....same...

I have never both seen and heard at the same time. John's is way more sweeping and "precise". There is never a "sound track" along with the vision for me. The sound comes later (or not at all) as a separate event. :) What have I seen? Many different things...I will pm you!!!! :)

The subtle difference between putting faith in Christ Himself as opposed to His sacrifice has caused many to claim the sacrifice for themselves as if Jesus were offering that sacrifice for men rather than for God. The old sacrifices were again done in obedience so that when GOD saw the blood...

We cannot run away from all human systems in this world. That has already been tried..besides we are still to be IN the world. But we are not to be OF the world. So we must come out of human institutions in regards ourselves (in our allegiances) and the community of faith. We are separated unto...
