    The state of the church

    Are you using protestant thinking?

    The state of the church

    Good points. It is actually the coming together of the saints that will spark this under the radar revival of the truth together with the true gospel of the kingdom. Do you believe in an imputed (pretend) righteousness?

    The state of the church

    The difference is that it is in prophecy. Jesus is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle.

    Righteousness

    Once you open up that kettle of fish (dispensationalism) then we get stuck with a gospel without obedience again. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God...

    The state of the church

    What is lacking is leadership. In the old days the enemy would just have to kill the shepherd and the sheep would scatter. So the state would burn the bishops at the stake or cut their heads off. Then OTHER leaders would take their place but whom the state did not take as a threat. So the church...

    Righteousness

    They are without excuse who behave unrighteously with the law or without the law. The law is not against the righteous. It is just that the righteous are unable of themselves to fully accomplish the law because the law is holy. So therefore by deeds of the law shall no man be justified. No man...

    The state of the church

    This thread has actually been hyjacked by the catholic agenda. We are not concerned on this thread about the accuracy of doctrine or dogma...but the poor practice that has led to the state of the modern church.

    The Sanctification of Man

    Whom God loves..He coddles????

    Righteousness

    Mercy triumphs over judgment. Those who have pleased God will be shown mercy. It has to do with our heart attitude. The law is there to test us and our works. But the farmer was not trying to justify himself through works of the law...he was doing the law from his heart.....naturally! The...

    Righteousness

    This is all true...but don't forget that God is merciful. Christians like to say that God gives "mercy for nothing". And these don't complain as long as God behaves they way they want...;) But God is more merciful than men are. :) Here is a little story I made up to illustrate my point. There...

    Righteousness

    :) The OT was based on what men can do in their own efforts. Doing what is right is possible for men...in spite of the weakness of the flesh. When men sinned they turned to God in sacrifice and humility...if they were righteous that is! The problem is that some men seek to get with the...

    Righteousness

    Hi D!!!! Sounds weird eh??? OK....we have to see the truth as a dialectic that has 2 poles. Or actually one big long pole that seems too heavy to pick up. One tends to pick one truth while leaving the other truth (end of the pole) on the ground. So let us look at the whole counsel of God in...

    Righteousness

    Correct! We have ben given an inside track in order to go beyond righteousness and into holiness which is the righteousness of God. So we are playing in the major leagues so to speak. ;) But this comes with a higher responsibility. It is better to do well in the monor league than flunk out in...

    The Gospel of Grace:

    You are using the bible according to the reasoning of the carnal mind and doing so against the brethren. Why not just use your own words to throw insults? Why the need to sound bigger than you are?

    Can watchdogs ever lay down?

    Why would someone not want to be accountable?

    The Sanctification of Man

    2Co_10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

    The Gospel of Grace:

    1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    I'm shocked at this...let me find the appropriate emoticon... :o ...there!!! Notice that you selected verses from the gospel of John. Now look up the Greek for how we are to believe. John was a spiritual man and he used spiritual imagery...he said we need to believe INTO Jesus. He doesn't lay...
