In spite of the US being a virtual police state, there seems to be no trust in the justice system. It seems poeple are reading in their own prejudices into the events.

You are accusing me of preaching a dead religion...how ironic. I have only spoken of walking in the Spirit...which you then interpret me saying as walking in religion. Perhaps you should re-read your responses to me but this time according to what I actually said. That would help the process...

So you interpret the Holy Spirit as religion? How ironic! It is your religious belief that causes you to grab hold of a non-sensical amnesty for sins where God is not like that at all. The soul that sins it shall die. So you are adhering to an anti-gospel based on a man made religious desire to...

We are placed in the oven. Not too many will endure the heat is takes to become fully baked. We are to be living sacrifices. A living sacrifice has the habit of getting of the altar. You can try obeying the law on your own...or you can obey the law through the Spirit. You can try putting out...

Too often the churches tend to be more like kennels than sheepfolds. :(

What is missing is the power of a new resurrected life. Many who abandon the faith think it is by human effort that we are to overcome...and after trying are soon overcome themselves. But the power lies in the cross that kills our old nature...and in the resurrection life of power that...

Powerful enough to declare an amnesty against sin you mean. Jesus didn't just die to provide a free-for-all...He was resurrrected in order to impart NEW LIFE...a resurrection life that is created in true holiness. Even Gandhi didn't want to sin...and a great deal more than almost any westerner...

Oh yeah!! Sad but true!

Hi brother Mark! When a person is born from above that one is pure and washed in the blood. But the mind only knows what it has previously experienced. The heart has been trained to love certain things...certain ways. We are not born anew with wisdom...we must grow in wisdom. This is the...

There is an insidious short-circuiting of the gospel going on. The gospel of Jesus Barabbas...just accept the amnesty and forgiveness for sin! There is no resurrection power over sin in the Barabbas gospel...because there is no cross and no death. It breeds "saved" sinners that have no power. Of...

Mock all you want...it is written about the mockers in the last times. :) You are denying the gospel? Are you saying that those who walk in the Spirit will still give into the flesh anyway? The sinless state IS to walk in the Spirit. Paul wrote this type of exhortation to Gentiles.... ;)...

Be strong in the Lord Shirley! Aim longer term! Will be praying...

You are confusing the power of God with the ingenuity and ambitions of men. Those who surrender their lives to God are given a new life with a new nature that does not sin. We are saved AWAY from ourselves and into Christ. So a true Christian need never sin. That is...if he has learned to walk...

Your username!!! mere coincidence? I think not! :)

Yes! The new life without the new mind is soon recaptured and brought underthe old bondage. These are in facr worse off than before since there is no longer an "innocense" about the evil that is being done.

...and we are to reckon ourselves as bought slaves to Christ and His Lordship.

The reasoning of men. The letters recorded in the New Testament are not the comprehensive words of the 12. Do you write the fulness of everything whenever you write? The Gentiles had to be walked through things like babies. The Jews had more experience in these matters. To claim that Paul was...

We live in oerilous times. Life is easy...and the flesh is catered to at every turn. Even in the church. Actually especially in the church! Jesus laid out the cost of discipleship...to forsake ALL things for Him. But in most Christian circles this cost is not even considered. It simply is not...

You cannot make a one-time admission into the body as an eternal state. All men who are hired by a company will be given the same justification to be there. But when the work begins some of these will not measure up...these will be fired. Even MORE so will God let go of the ones who refuse to...

We receive grace (charis) and the resulting spiritual gifts (charisma) in order to advance in the kingdom. If we walk in the Spirit we will live...but if we walk according to the flesh we will die. This is directed AT Christians.
