    The state of the church

    I am talking of the history of the church as if it were a man. Do you know church history?

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    When a person has a toothache...they know it. How? because of the reality of the pain. When a person is in the Spirit...they know it. How? They are filled with a love joy and peace that defies any earthly description. :) Simple.

    The Gospel of Grace:

    But I am submitting to Christ's righteousness. This is the power that overcomes in me. I think you mean I am not submitting to your understanding of God's righteousness which is to grab hold of a doctrine that is without any power or reality.

    Is Romans 7 a license to sin?

    You place your faith in an IT....rather than in Christ.

    Is Romans 8 a license to be holy?

    Do you know the difference between the temple laws and the law of God? Do you think the Mosaic laws of natural Israel are the same as the eternal law of God? Your disdain for any law...including that of ther Almighty puts you in the same catagory as a common criminal. It is the law of Christ...

    The state of the church

    The sory of the church is like the story of Sampson. Very strong at first until seduced by the world (Constantine)...captured and then blinded....but at the end there is one last great work. Again the story of the prodigal son also is like the history of the church.

    The Gospel of Grace:

    You are confusing people who try keeping the law in their own strength with people who have surrendered their lives to have Christ live through them. You of course are neither of these. You prefer living in your own strength and NOT keeping the law. That is called being lawless. This has...

    The state of the church

    The church people are essentially divided into two camps. Those who want to live their lives here doing what they want....and those that are willing to give up their lives in order to let Christ live through them. All other considerations stem from one of these two motivations.

    First Resurrection

    I don't believe that the saints will be actually physically beheaded during the tribulation. Do you? I believe that the bible wants to take us to a spiritual place. Being beheaded means we are no longer lords of our own lives.

    Hellow, I'm Pompadour. (Pomp.)

    First Resurrection

    All scriptures have a deeper dimension to them. Do you think the saints will see the return of the guillotine???

    The state of the church

    The church of Christ is simply the gathering of the saints and faithful brethren in any given locality. Each church is to have Christ as it's Head and be led of the Spirit. Christians are not followers of a book, a dogma, a hierchy, a man-made institution or anyone but Christ. The Head of...

    Is Romans 7 a license to sin?

    Richard you are a champion of temporal logic!!! ^_^ grace is the means that makes us able to be obedient to the gospel.

    First Resurrection

    Beheading could mean that they have made Jesus their head. We are to grow into the Head which is Christ...just sayin'

    The Gospel of Grace:

    The normal state of a disciple of Christ is to be pure....as in cleansed from ALL unrighteousness. This is not a facade of righteousness but real righteousness and TRUE holiness. Those who walk in this have a witness to thetruth. Those who read verses and amke up a salvation scheme for...

    Listening to what Jesus says about the church in our time.

    People reap what they sow...being saved is not always the best thing for us. A person who is burned all over their body....disfigured by acid...the loss of all 4 limbs...etc. Those who claim a salvation without an obedience to the commandments of God are in for a rude awakening. Before the end...

    Are Christians sinners?

    But the truth is not good enough for many. They wish to make the words of the bible justify themselves IN their sin. They have verses you know!!! ;)

    The Gospel of Grace:

    Brother..the truth sounds "ambiguous" to them...so I'm trying to use more carnal language. The fact that they don't understand the bible thinking it is not ambiguous for them doesn't stop them from putting a carnal spin on it. Why then not put a carnal spin on the "ambiguity" of those who post...

    A Spiritual Christian does not sin.

    You are missing the point of the maturing of the soul INTO becoming lined up with a full dependence on the Holy Spirit. Becoming spiritual in Christ is to walk exactly as Jesus did. As He IS so are WE in this world.
