It is precisely the power of the cross that kills the old man and his works. The power of the cross did not just kill Jesus....but all who abide in Him. As Paul said! Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in...

Jesus just replaced animals? This is only part of what Jesus did. No animal was ever resurrected in victory. We cannot abide in animals etc.... So those who are dead with Christ are also alive with Him and now live in a new life from heaven. This is why the testament in Christ is called "new"...

This describes the old testament model perfectly. Under the New Covenant we have the new life in Christ which is not under the old sin nature. ALL things are made new in Christ. We must die to sin in order to be made alive to God.

You are missing the main point....Through Christ means without sin. Jesus Christ is not a sinner. So we must look at whether we have truly connected with God by the fruit. Otherwise we are just making up a fairytale from SOME of the verses while escaping the reality of the truth. Gal 2:17 But...

The Christian has become MORE responsible for his sins...not less. Our reputation and witness in the world is not based on how much we can ignore our own sin based on our beliefs. God is mocked by this. Only the devil would want to soothe our consciences in order to permit sin with no second...

Again...Jesus does not make sinful people righteous IN their sins. He makes former sinful people righteous. God has not changed the definition of words on the cross. He has empowered men to be as He is. We are to be holy as God is holy. Is God sinful? Are we to be sinful as God is sinful? There...

Look for the brothers who are being falsely persecuted. Look for brothers who meet everyday in humility and faith. Look for those who are hated by the religious establishment as being "dangerous". :)

Christianity cannot be compared to the religions of the world. We cannot justify our actions by comparing them to people outside the faith. The is no congruity between the world and those who carry Christ in them. We are to be examples to the world..not defenders of it. Our weapons are not...

The millenium is not for the Jews and salvation. It is for training the saints to rule with Christ. Where does it say in the bible that God will change the rules for a certain type of human? God does not respect our persons.

Romans 14:5 One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. If a man does not understand spiritual things he has no choice but to try to accomplish the law in the flesh. The rest of God is not a breather...but a spiritual...

Is this a prelude to a preterist argument?

I think it is naive to think that religious extremism and violence in God's name is restricted to radical Islam. The crusades proved that a lot of people were willing to invoke the name of Christ in order to conquer and pillage. We see this first with Constantine BEFORE Islam came on the scene...

Very good~

You are quoting this... Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the...

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

In other words why would God seek to turn a blind eye towards something He condemns? Does He make it LOOK like we become righteous or does He make a new creation based on faith?

Faith is the constant awareness of God.

There has never been a saint that was not a sinner at one time.

No one who is popular that's for sure! Jesus lived as an obscure prophet speaking an obscure language in an obscure place. You need to look there for the followers of the Master.
