    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Think I'll just say this, that I know what is genuinely of God in my life and where I myself fall short. When you're being carried along by His Spirit, you dont' really have a choice except to yield to Him and go along for the ride. That is His mercy/grace in spite of my mistakes and...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Isa 7:14-15 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. He will be eating curds and honey (weaned) when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right I'm not sure exactly what the official doctrine of...

    Your assumptions here are so presumptuous and false I'm at a loss for words, wow.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Nevertheless, it works both ways. It is God's wisdom and truth. We see it in the natural life too..........if a child grows up thinking he is worthless, he lives according to that belief. The jails are full of those, sadly. Most criminals are fatherless or had abusive fathers. (I'm not...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Scripture says, as a man thinks (believes) so is he.....and be it done to you according to your faith. I've seen some miracles (not raising the dead) and consider such things normal for the Lord, when He does them. It is generally in accordance with one's gifts and calling, level of...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    There is no way to "get along" with those who preach another gospel and reject the basic foundational tenets of the faith. I cannot link arms with such, but it doesn't mean hating anybody though. It's not hard to see what a saint is in scripture....you have only to look it up and get the...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I'm just saying EXACTLY what the bible says. Faith IS the evidence and the substance of things not seen but hoped for. Sad for you too that you can't understand it like Epi can't. It just shows how carnal you both are in your thinking......we need the mind of Christ to be able to perceive...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Then you are calling holy scripture not possible and silly. Faith is the evidence. Faith is the substance. Sadly, you are just unable to understand/perceive it. It's like we receive what has been promised before it all comes to be. Faith is a seed that needs to grow....and everything that is...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Oh you have a soul-mate in Wrangler, he doesn't mind shedding blood........he thinks it would be just fine if America were to invade and annex Canada.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I thought you just said no more Christian Nice Guy and here you are personally attacking me for calling a spade a spade, lol. And just to let you know, God's justice was satisfied at the cross for all who would receive Christ, which is why the believer is not under condemnation.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    FAITH ITSELF IS the EVIDENCE, of THINGS NOT SEEN. FAITH ITSELF IS the SUBSTANCE, of things HOPED for. (And who has what he yet hopes for?) But I understand how it is impossible for a deaf man to hear this, unless he first receives ears to hear.. Honesty involves allowing the Lord to shine...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Amen. Unfortunately believing that people can be saved by their own righteousness is the thin edge of the wedge of becoming friends with the world...being unequally yoked with unbelievers.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    What about those who deny the power that HAS made us so? There would be no hope of putting on the new man except that we had already received it. No hope of reckoning the old man dead except that he had already been crucified. Etc.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    It's clear from scripture that saints are all who have received Christ and are saved by faith..

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    How well and clearly you are demonstrating that you don't understand FAITH, so no wonder you are denigrating and mocking it. God calleth those things which be not as though they are. And faith is the evidence of things not yet seen, the substance of things hoped for. Selah. But it appears...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Amen. Jesus is THE way and the life and the truth. There is no other name under heaven by which man can be saved. This doesn't leave room for anyone to be saved by their own name and their own way.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Shaking my head. Here is who God chooses: 1Co 1:26-29 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of...

    When Doctrine Corrects Christ

    Th The land of Israel is the promised land..........which is an allegory/parable for the kingdom of God which comes not with observation that you may say lo here it is or there, but is WITHIN us, as Jesus said.

    When Doctrine Corrects Christ

    But the bible is not ordinary language. It is a spiritual book, speaking in spirit, of spiritual things. It is not limited/confined the same way ordinary language is.
