    Basically, yes! But we are learning important things about how God sees us. Are you game for a few more???

    Righteousness

    There is no profit to the Lord in the unrighteous. We are to be salt AND light. Salt preserves the world. Light shows Christ to the world. So if you can't be a light at least you could have been salt (acted righteously). The saint is the light...the righteous are the salt. OK...here is the...

    Sinless Perfection?

    We don't need faith anymore when we are in heaven...so you don't actually believe in an entire sanctification...This doctrine is partial. I'm partial to it.

    Sinless Perfection?

    Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He knows when we will die so He can space out the lessons accordingly so that He finishes His work in us in time. At the risk of drawing ungodliness from mockers I will relate a short testimony.. I began my walk in the presence of God walking in...

    What are you trusting in?

    Kidron...you just may be the main course at the wedding feast of the Lamb!!

    You're getting warmer...here is another clue... Mat 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: Mat 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent...

    But you understood the connection. You still have not solved the unjust steward parable. It goes a little farther....the pieces are there to get it...but you must think outside the box. :)

    The state of the church

    So do I. I think we are divided by a common doctrine.

    Sinless Perfection?

    Some have received a perfect Jesus and others have settled for a part-time collage student type Jesus. The part time Jesus doesn't demand very much at all. Just say...I'm hip with ya babe!!! and the thumb goes up! There is this other Jesus who happens to be sinless and perfect...the Son of the...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    We enter by faith because God accepted the sacrifice...not us. We are never consulted as to the efficacy of Jesus' blood. yes! No one ever received the Spirit through circumcision or eating kosher. walking in the Spirit does determine salvation...our continuing in the obedience of faith...

    Absolutely! I will try to clarify the lesson in future posts...but I'm looking for a few verses that come at this from a different angle. OK Please take your time to understand this prophecy...Why does God wish to destroy the righteous??? Eze 21:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me...

    Righteousness

    It does but this is not the lesson Jesus is making....:) True...but this is not it either...;) He was actually proving how unjust he was... Hmmm...it is the TYPE of wisdom we are trying to uncover here. Not really...you haven't yet looked at Rev. 22:11 to help you see it. I'll post...

    I am crucified with Christ - The Word for the Healing of the Body, Today.

    The way to prepare for all sin is to walk in the Spirit. By doing this you shall not do those deeds. The old sin nature IS the old man...this needs to die in order to release the new nature to take over. By faith we walk in newness of life NOW. We HOPE for the redemption of the body...but the...

    The state of the church

    There is no "imputed" righteousness. God sees us as we are. Jesus was truly holy and so are we when we are IN Him. We come out of Adam (our old house) and move in with Jesus. We use the words of Christ as the doorway in order to believe INTo Him. So we abide in Christ and not sin. As Jesus IS...

    Why you as a Christian are as sinless as God is Holy....

    This thread is unbelievable....literally UN-believable. :wacko: Welcome to fantasy island!!!! :lol: I think the OP is a joke on the people here...It is playing "the opposite game" You cannot possibly get further away from the truth. So there is real value in what we are to avoid in it... I...

    Let's apply what I have laid out in previous posts in order to understand the sayings of Jesus that seem more difficult to grasp... Luk 16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods...

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    We enter in by seeking anf finding. We believe into Jesus the way we enter a house. Jesus is the door..and His words are the door INTO Him. We come out of our own house and enter His. That is the message of John. There is no provision for just having a belief in Jesus while still residing in our...

    Righteousness

    OK. We must keep in mind that what God says about who lives and dies in the OT is binding on all. The OT was the bible of the early church. Paul specifically states that the OT is for instruction in righteousness. The church has long lost this understanding about righteousness. By losing this...
