We are not called to judge those outside the church....God judges them. 1Co 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 1Co 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. I...

The issue is about our attitude towards our standing with God. It is possible to have the truth...but hold on to it in unrighteousness. Rom_1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Do you see this as a contest?

There's no reality to this... Act_26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. This idea that we weren't actually created to do...

Hi John!!!! This is a favourite topic of mine. :) It is very important as it shapes the way we see ourselves...and others. What is righteousness? It is doing what is right in the eyes of God. We are all graded by what we have been given. A child is not expected to know calculus or even be...

So then you are not against walking in holiness as Jesus did...or even encountering Christ face to face?

I agree with this which leads me to believe that there is more than one poster using the username "brotherdave". What have you done with the original poster?

Very good D. I tried to rep you but it seems my quota is full! :)

Agreed!!! Haz wrote So why not believe that we can walk like Christ when we abide in Christ as John testifies to in the bible...??? Is proof required for this? Or is faith required?

Hi Dave For some this is an event from the beginning...born from above with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. For others this is sometimes called..the second blessing...of being filled with the Spirit. The receiving of the new nature IS the law being written on our hearts. But in order to walk in...

Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. :) I don't ask you what you think because I don't think this a matter of opinion.

Jesus commandments are to love as He has loved....to walk the extra mile and turn the other cheek...To bless those who abuse us and pray for those who persecute us. Love our enemies and do good to those who wish evil on us. We are to follow Jesus and do exactly as He does. :) We are to forsake...

Totally agree! :)

Walking according to the flesh: Walking in the power of one born in Adam in the limitation and futility of one's own opinions and understanding. One who sins and believes sin is a part of life. Walking according to the Spirit: Being filled with the Spirit and walking in the very presence of...

Great post! :)

You have wisdom far beyond your years!!!! :) Just a few comments...you said... This is true of all religions...as men seek to walk closer to God they realize the power of sin stops them from realizing their desire to be holy. But in Christ we can die to this limitation by being crucified in...

Glad you are all here!!!! They are clearly death to the one that walks according to the flesh. It is an unfortunate situation where so many who walk as sinful men have been somehow led to believe that Jesus covers the sins of the old nature so that they can be so confident in the rewards for...

Perfection is attained through what God does in His continuing working. It is not God's fault that He is perfect. He then becomes OUR perfection as we learn to walk in Him. If the body is dead because of sin does that mean it would have to be resurrected to sin again??? God created our...

Very good! :) You are blessed!

Amen! God's mercy is best understood as His patience for us to get with the holiness program so to speak...it is not yet too late to turn one's life over to be lived through Christ. His patience is not in His willingness to have US overlook our sins.
