    The Age of God’s Grace

    The sin nature is like a corrupted operating system that keeps crashing. The new nature in Christ is an upgrade that skypes God and the brethren and needs never crash at all! :)

    The Age of God’s Grace

    Actually when we abide in Him we are in a new power. We are filled to overflowing with His love and we experience the presence of God in a continual way. As such we cannot but do the perfect will of God. Grace is the keeping power of God that attaches us to His holy presence at all times...

    The Age of God’s Grace

    The power of the carnal nature leads one into sin. The power of life in Christ (grace) leads us into the perfect will of God so that we cannot sin. The gnostic heresy that John fought so hard to expose claims that we sin in the flesh but we are perfect in the Spirit...so that it is no longer...

    The Age of God’s Grace

    You are confusing Paul and his lack of detail about the law.. So we who are walking by grace in the new nature are dead to the old law nature that once ruled in us. But the written law remains to show others that we in fact obey the law, Many have been confounded by Paul's way of describing...

    The Vicariousness of Christ -Netchaplain

    There is nothing vicarious about Christ's experience. We are not spectators in His passion. We are made participants experientially through the Spirit. We also must die...and be reborn anew by the Spirit. Death first and then resurrection. Otherwise we are only speaking vanity and preaching...

    So , How were OT Saints saved ?

    Being indwelt by Paul doesn't have the same effect as being indwelt by Jesus Christ.

    Why don't God show Himself to everybody?

    We will be judged according to what we have been given. So if you have seen the Lord, you will be judged more harshly. Are you saying that you think that God should radicalize His judgments?

    The Age of God’s Grace

    God doesn't play games. In your scheme a person has either to be perfect or else be able to spell rumpelskilzten or something in order to get saved. The righteous requirements of the law are just so...they are righteous. God is also righteous. So any scheme that avoids MAKING the believer...

    The Age of God’s Grace

    Paul was given authority to lay on hands to receive the grace of God. Paul was a dispenser of grace, as it were. Grace is an empowering of the believer in the inner man to walk as Jesus walked....at least in potential. Obedience is still necessary to ACTUALLY follow through. The gifts of the...

    What Is The Difference Between Grace And The Law ?

    Under the law, the race was to actually become perfect through the requirements of the law....in one's own strength. Under grace, the race is to receive the power from heaven in order to become perfect and accomplish the requirements of the law. ...in the strength of Christ.

    The Vicariousness of Christ -Netchaplain

    At what point is it safe for someone who chooses to believe to impute this righteousness on himself?
  12. Episkopos

    Christ as the firstborn

    This is a ridiculous statement. Jesus suffered and died for others...not Himself. If He wanted to benefit He would have had someone else suffer for Him. But Jesus has no need of others. He is the Lord. But WE need Him. Without Him we are all dead in our sins. So to turn the tables on Jesus in...
