The gospel is according to LIFE...a new life in the power of Christ...not a new doctrinal position. THAT life shows itself by it's fruit. The world SEES that fruit and they testify that it is of God. It is not about a stubborn refusal to see what we are actually doing. It is not about blindly...

Mr. Burger is expressing a position that many at least partially agree with. He has taken the ideas to their logical conclusion. Many have not yet done this since they haven't thought it out completely yet. This idea of a gospel of grace in contra-distinction to the gospel of Christ and the...

I mainly agree again with what you say...although you are confusing some issues. Your position does not take into account that it is the DOERS of the law that are justified not just the hearers and head nodders... Jesus said... Mat_12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy...

Again the false comparison. We are empowered by grace through faith to fulfill the commandments of God. No law breaker will ever enter the kingdom of God. 1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which...

A man is known by his works. Even a child is known by his behaviour. Does a saved murderer still murder? According to you it has no bearing on anything. A murderer who stops murdering would be seeking to be saved by works??? Pro_20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be...

Placing bets and then convincing yourself you are right about that bet is not about faith at all. "Depart from Me because you never placed your bet on Me??? """" This notion of "someday my prince will come to save me" denies the present reality of the kingdom of God whereby we can walk in...

Richard I posted a fact!!! Where's the rejoicing!!!! ;)

A direct contradiction of your opinion and your experience. ;) We are not to keep the law of Moses but the laws of God.

Faith is not the avoidance of God's law. Faith allows us to fulfill the law in that God empowers us to do so. .

dogmatism 1. a statement of a point of view as if it were an established fact. 2. Arrogant, stubborn assertion of opinion or belief.

That's right! And through His resurrection we can walk in newness of life....according a new power called grace.

1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Joh_14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Dogmatism creates an environment whereby growth is stunted...and that stunting dogmatism is tenaciously held to as if it was the faith itself. The problem as I see it is that the bible is God-centered in it's logic but the interpreters are usually man-centered. The truth seems inconsistent but...

Belonging to a church does not make one a Christian any more than living in a stable makes one a horse.

Just how many other shots in the dark are you ready to make? LOL We go to different churches together. :)

The bible interprets us. Those who think they have the market cornered on bible interpretation are deceived. So a divisive person will interpret the bible in a way that divides the brethren. God Himself will separate the sheep from the goats...that is best left to Him.

Those under grace establish the law because it is God fulfilling it through them. Rom_3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Yes! This life is a test to see what we will DO. Even our experiences and knowledge count for little if these do not lead to a godly CONDUCT. We will be judged by our "conductivity. " In other words how well do we transmit the truth we have heard into our lives. It may be interesting for some...

Belief is blind...man can believe anything. But faith sees! Faith perceives the truth...intuits it. Then we have a choice to go with faith or not. Ususally someone who does have faith will at least go that route...that is until things get difficult. then it depends on character.

I guess to some..facts are the same thing as truth... :unsure:
