Have you ever read the book of James? We are saved in order to do the works that are from above. How can you miss the purpose od something and still claim any understanding? The purpose of a car is for transportation...not say... a paperweight. Simple enough! So grace is meant to do the works...

The Tradition is to follow the Spirit and submit our ways to God to be led by Him.

Welcome here from a fellow musicianary!!!! :)

One day a week worship is an OT concept. We are to walk in the Spirit at all times every day. That is our worship. Joh_4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. This should be compared to those who seek to worship in a physical way one day a...

There is a present idolatry of Jesus and the bible...we call this churchianity. This is not to be confused with true Christianity...which is in the power of the Spirit. This is the testimony of the bible.

We are saved in order to do the works of God not men. You have to see that God has a purpose that isn't a human one. Men are trying to wrestle away God's purpose for themselves...the same way they are trying to build a church for Him...in their own understanding. So we are created to DO the...

Very good! God bless you! <><

You were doing so well until this... It has everything to do with our deeds. We will be judged by what we do as well as what we have said. The gospel speaks of a real power to overcome in this world. Abiding in Christ causes us to do the works of Christ.

Amen! :)

Rather than progress since the day of Pentecost I fear we have taken a very long wrong turn. Unity is beyond us and only possible when we are truly abiding in Christ. But since we have been programmed to think we already ARE in Christ (without yet being so) then we will not seek any further.

I use the same bible as you...and the same verses. But it is the meaning we attach to them that we diverge on. Dead means dead...you are an empty shell now ready to receive a new strength; a strength from above. We only release the life in us when our old lives are brought to nothing. This is...

I would ask why the word is made to say something far different than what is really saying! The gospel is not just in word but in power. So to leave the bible as a study of words only is to misunderstand the bible. We will not be judged by how much we have read or studied the bible...but on what...

They are Christians in the true sense of the term...they abide in Christ. :)

Your interpretation of that one verse goes against the rest of the gospel. You actually don't realize how wrong you are. John wrote his epistle to correct the gnostic heresy that didn't take responsibility for sins committed in a carnal body. In other words, the gnostics disassociated themselves...

Is this from "human wisdom 101"??? Or from the bible? 1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1Co 2:6 Howbeit...

Is the gospel about a word study or power?

Why is it so difficult to accept that there is no sin in Chrsit and those who are in Christ don't sin? It then behooves us to seek the Lord in order to truly enter into Christ according to the truth.....not just claim we are in Christ with the evidence that proves otherwise. In the old days men...

The unity is only in the Spirit. We show our disunity when we seek to understand the bible on our own...or through a method we have learned from men. The truth lies deeper than most are willing to venture. Consequently it is too easy to settle for a gospel that does not contain that...

1 John 1:8 was written to counter the gnostic notion that it is not we that sin when we sin but the body...of which we are no longer responsible. It was never meant as people use it today...to contradict the rest of the letter. One is always responsible for committed sins. But John goes on to...

Actually the faith in Christ is a means of living and acting (behaving). The resurrection of Jesus followed the cross. This means that when we walk by the newnes of life we don't need to be constantly forgiven for what we are still unable to do. Do you believe in the new nature that is without...
