Yes! What is hard to fully grasp is that the moment Jesus said, "It is finished", was the infinitesimal moment of all time, the apex were all things (of all time) feeds into to become the One, or comes to fruition. Contrary to how we view time on this God-given, would-be timeline, all time...

Here's a fun one (I cut it off at about 300 words - there's 500 more sml): THE KING THUMB A children’s tale of a great king who had a vision and made a world. A Christian gospel adventure through time—and through the mirror on the king’s wall—through it all! By Scott Allen Taylor Subject to...

That is not what is written--the flesh dies either way. One born again of the spirit of God can produce spiritual fruit 100, 60, 30 fold, or not at all, and yet is saved--even those cut into and given their lot with the hypocrites. Which is not a loss of salvation (contrary to popular belief)...

This too is good! By definition circumcision describes, by image, in parable, in likeness, made manifest--removing the flesh, the foreskin, that which was first--not converting it, not saving it, not transforming it, not glorifying it--but discarding it. Bearing fruit then, is of the Spirit.

The word "soul" has greater meaning, including the flesh body. But you are still blurring the line between flesh and spirit. Yes, the spirit of all who are born died when Adam and Eve sinned--we are the children of that sin. And yes, the gift of eternal life is spiritual. But clearly, the flesh...

This is good!

You have misinterpreted the parable of three measures. "Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?" :pensive: On the contrary, Jesus gave the three measures, saying, "Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected."

I gotta stop you right there--there is no "remission"--"It is finished." But then, within we are called to "reign with Christ", which Paul said is done by bringing what remains of our old body of sin and death (and nature) under "subjection" of our new spirit body within...and "preserver" unto...

You are off by thousands of years. Not worth watching.

We are still dancing on the line that is between the flesh and the Spirit. One of the big misunderstandings that causes this to remain, is the idea that our "sin nature" can be fixed. That is not the salvation message. On the contrary it has been sentenced "once to die"--not once when we...

Be careful with the "glorified body" idea, as glorified means "the glory of the Father", which is spirit and exists where flesh and blood "cannot" inherit. Which is not less than we have ever known and even loved about these bodies, that we might hope and desire that they be glorified much as...

This is much like a lot of what goes on here in debate. One person lists reasons and says it surely means one thing, and another lists other reasons and says it all means something else. But you have mostly listed the factors of our approach to perfection. Even the "saved", though they...

Ah, nnnn...no, there is no hierarchy within the body of Christ, and all in the body of Christ become One in God, as they are One. Thus, salvation is all to God's glory, nothing lacking. "My grace is sufficient for you"--came to Paul, who struggled and because of it "persevered" to the end...

There are indeed those who manipulate the scriptures to fit their own beliefs that are not actually true. However, sin is not a sure or reliable proof of unbelief. We who are born again--because the body of flesh is born of flesh, and the new body within born of the spirit of God, are two...

Interestingly hmn the video wasn't working when I first looked at the thread. And reading a later post that seemed to explain it, I did have a comment. This thread is about "Cleansing by the word", which is important to understand--and you did a great job explaining it. And yet, that is not all...

Grace from God (especially) is not receiving what we deserve, but receiving unwarranted favor instead.

Yes!

@Scott Downey If you can align and reconcile all you have presented with "the last day" of the thief on the cross--you got it!

I am glad that God has delivered you from your former sins. Hallelujah! But you have misunderstood me. I am not one who fits the description you have given or speculated. Nor do I make any claims of my own doing, except that as a last resort I cried out to a God I never before knew. When I did...

This again, just defines the shared walk of two different bodies, one born of the flesh (natural), and the other born of the Spirit (spiritual). It does not say the flesh sins no more, is no more, or is transformed into some hybrid glorified flesh that can inherit the kingdom of God. "Free...
