An interesting take! The "another gospel" is the gospel that presents itself but without the actual power of the resurrection...the keeping power of Christ that makes us overcome in this life. It is the false gospel of men remaining in sin but claiming salvation. Thus saith the LORD; Cursed...

He who is spiritual in Christ is able to compare the new life in the truth with the former life of sin. He is not judged by men since they cannot comprehend the power that leads him and keeps him. They are in darkness but he is in the light. So the man of God can judge all things and can be...

We are not cleansed from being pure....but dirty. How many people put clean clothes in the washer? Do the clothes come out dirty or clean from the washer? So we have been cleansed through Christ and need not dirty ourselves again because we remain in He who cleansed us...without spot or...

Amen! :)

You have to think it out. If a man leaves Christ then he can sin and will sin. Can a man rob a bank if he is in jail? But if you let him out can he then rob the jail? Think about it.

Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. We have died to the Adamic life and been given a new life. If we let go our old lives we put on Christ. When we do this we are exactly like Him...holy and perfect. But we are yet unwise and have no precedence for trusting God in ALL things. The process of...

God is not more blind than men to sin. It must be remembered that God is holy...and that His ways are holy. So He is MORE sensitive to sin issues than we are. But Jesus said we are to be as holy as God. He commands us to be. And then He empowers us to be. So to refure this is to refute Christ...

Well said. We are our brother's keepers and should seek out the brother in trouble to restore him to the fellowship. Sometimes this takes a lot of time. But we should never give up. I just recently had a brother (friend) who drifted from the Lord for 20 years....He called me this Christmas to...

Fair enough Net Chaplain. But this does not change the fact that this material leads people astray. But I have stated my objection and will desist from further comment.

Human capacity? Jesus died so we could do our best? The Pharisees operated in a human capacity. Men can only follow morality. You are barking up the wrong tree...the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 1Pe_4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner...

The early church had Christ as their standard and Lord. Today there is no standard...just a human standard that is hypocritical. It says that you cannot stop sinning...but you should try to not make it look too bad...hide your sins etc...Basically hypocrisy! And the people love to have it so...

We no longer need a tutor if we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. Since a man cannot sin in Christ there is no need to tell him to not sin. Only those who walk in the power of the flesh need to be reminded of the law...which they cannot keep perfectly anyway. How does your sin make...

You are mixing up grace with maturity. We can walk in the Light RIGHT NOW by faith. We do not earn this...it is by faith. What is difficult is to remain there and not look at the world for what we want. It is like Peter walking on water by faith as he kept his eyes on Jesus. But when he looked...

It is very harmful to negate what Jesus accomplished on the cross. It is eternally harmful. A disciple learns to walk in the power of Christ. As he does this he realizes that the world no longer has a pull on Him. If you listen to the old hymns you will hear a lot of "harmful" testimonies that...

Some will say that sin is ingrained in our mortal bodies. Yet no ultrasound or MRI will ever find this sin in our bodies. That is because the problem is a spiritual one....undetected and undetectable by human means. Now in our time we have many unbelievers in the church that say that Jesus...

Right you are!!!!! The one commandment that Jesus gave us was to love one another as JESUS does. Try doing that on your own. You are quoting out of context. Those who quote John to condone sin are falling into the trap he laid out...John is the champion of the sinless walk in Christ. ALL...

Christ is not looking to be accepted. He has no emotional issues. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of GOD...not OUR sacrifice. He doesn't need our approval......and He did not offer Himself to please us. Only those who abide in Christ can overcome sin. Sin is everywhere around us....but God has a...

You should really give this propaganda up. I don't believe a Christian forum is the place for such drivel as this. It mocks the gospel.

True faith causes us to be reconciled to God in reality and proximity. God makes His home in us when we abide in Him. HE becomes the Master of our house. As such we obey the Spirit...not follow our own ideas and thoughts. If we wish to continue living in our own strength then God will not abide...

Depends on the opinion I gather.
