Yes...beware the "quick fix". Beware the spirit that coddles you. The Father treats His servants hard in order to break down the outer man...THEN He is gentle. Those He loves He rebukes and chastens...even whipping them for their good.

You are fighting the wrong people. We are trying to help you get back onto the road that leads to life.

You can only understand what Jesus is talking about AFTER you go through the cross experience. Before that you need to have faith and trust God that He will not kill all of you...just kill the parts that cause you to sin thereby soiling your garments.

This is what I have been saying to you. You need to die in the natural man in order to be raised up in the new man in Christ. In the old nature we are powerless to stop sinning. But when that man is dead we can be grafted to the life of Christ so that it is His life and nature we are living...

Why is it so difficult to see that there is a mixture in the churches...there are many rebellious ones who refuse to lay down their lives to die with Christ so as to be raised with Him in newness of life. There are both tares and wheat. The tares will be burned and the wheat gathered to the...

You are confusing the law with the process of salvation by going to the cross to have the old man put down. Only then can we walk in the actual power of Christ that we have received at the new birth. The cup must be emptied before it can be filled again.

Dave, you have gone off half-cocked thinking that God is finished with your discipleship whereas in fact you have not started to be discipled yet. You are claiming to be rich because of grace...but you are given grace as a means to produce DEATH first in you. The grace is your life support...not...

Hi Rach! What we have begun in the Spirit must also be continued in the Spirit. The entrance to the kingdom is narrow...but so is the way. Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. This distinction takes away any...

Brother you should be called Barnabas...(son of encouragement) :) Peace in Christ...

Pro_20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. One has to be blind to not see this for what it is...How many can see that this is a man imputing righteousness on himself for his own beliefs????

Exactly!!! How could a truly righteous man accept the drivel that is preached from the pulpits of today??? Of course many true children of God also go to the churches...but can they remain there and NOT be affected negatively by the subtle message that encourages the natural man to rejoice in...

I think your understanding is skewed by the wordings of Paul. Paul was no innovator of the gospel and had no different or superior access to greater understanding than any other apostle. Paul was indeed the least of the apostles. I think the fact that we Gentiles are the target of Paul's...

I think you are confusing coming to Christ and attaining to Christ. I am using exact biblical terminology here. Coming to Christ is through the gift of repentance by the Holy Spirit. But we must choose afterwards whether we will run the race of faith or not...most today choose to call it quits...

I leave it to readers of this thread to consider the words of Paul 2Co_4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: Gal_1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Do people...

Can you see that as Mediator between the Father and men...Jesus took on flesh in order to make a way for those who would follow Him to walk as He walked. What I see missing from so many professing believers is faith ...not just in what Jesus accomplished but also in the attaining of the walk...

You impute righteousness on yourself??? Why would yo do such a thing?

If you bring the standard low enough to satisfy the needs of the natural man you get what Kidron is proposing...

My sights are on Christ. If I hear a voice out in left field I call out to them to help them with their direction. It is the least I can do to help fellow seekers. :) Have you perhaps an interest in others NOT attaining more than say...yourself? "When I examine myself and my methods of...
