So you are saying that you have not yet encountered God and since that is your present experience you choose to read the bible as a book of people who don't know God other than reading a book?

Gal_5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. I think very few Christians understand this verse. they think this doesn't happen to Christians...in spite of the fact that Paul was writing this to a new testament church. It...

People get hung up on labels. A church can be called something it isn't. So because a church is called "apostolic" does not mean that any other church cannot be or even that the one naming itself apostolic actually is. Oh yeah!!! :)

Anything less than 100% is still walking according to the flesh. We are not trying to sin less and less, as desirable and wise as that might be...since we are still missing the big picture of a complete victory in Christ. Rather we are going from a complete trust in God to a partial trust in Him...

A Christian is one who is learning to abide in Christ and walk only by the Spirit. One cannot sin when one does this. But in our time the superficiality of the gospel message presents a portion of the truth but without the power of the gospel. So it is not commonly understood in modern times...

Amen!!!! :)

Israel is a man (Jacob) who had a personal encounter with God. He found what he was seeking for. So everyone who finds God (or vice versa) in a personal encounter is of Israel.

We do teach the law....but we teach to DO the law according to the Spirit.

A new legalism entails making any system based on the reading of the bible. The only difference between claiming to be disciples of Moses (as the Pharisees) and claiming to be disciples of Jesus ....is semantics...unless one is actually walking in the power of Christ. Otherwise we are building...

Amen! In the words of Mr. Tozer... "We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with the irresponsible, amusement-mad paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing...

Actually God is against any unity that is not of Him. All of us just getting together is humanism. Jesus came to bring fire and a sword to divide out a people for Himself.

Which law is more powerful...that we sin in Adam....or that we are set free (to not sin) in Christ? Most would say the latter but actually mean the former in actual practice. Is this not hypocrisy? Jesus did not come to bring a new legalism to bear on the problem of fallen man. He was...

Very good!!!

Grace is the means that Jesus died and was resurrected to provide us with in order for us to overcome sin, the devil and the world just as Jesus did.

The soul who who we are. The spirit is a vessel that was created to contain the Spirit of God. So our spirit is to lead the soul just as the soul directs the body. So the influence of the spirit is towards the soul and the influence of the soul felt on the body. A spiritual person allows his...

There are essentially 3 camps concerning works 1. The works crowd. Those who try to attain to God by being good enough. These don't understand that grace was provided to do this...one can never please God through the effort of the flesh. 2. The grace alone crowd. These don't understand the...

Earthly authority is fine for earthly things. But the church must be led by the Spirit. A leader in the church points to this leading through their example.

That poem kicks all the buts. Are you saying that God will put up with unbelief indefinitely?

And loving the brethren. 1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

Are we debating or discussing? ;)
