    Cleansing by the Word

    Gal 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you...

    When Doctrine Corrects Christ

    It has always been about the Jews/Israel who are of faith.......like the faithful forefathers beginning with Abraham.......they are the Israel of God. The tree that we Gentiles have been grafted into is the Israel of God, not Israel after the flesh. Because "They are not all Israel who are of...

    When Doctrine Corrects Christ

    It says the Jew/Israel would be judged FIRST, then the Gentile (world). Has God judged the world yet?

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Obeying the gospel is what is right in God's eyes......serving in the new way of the Spirit and faith......not the old way of the letter.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    As believers we are under the new covenant now: Phl 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith

    When Doctrine Corrects Christ

    I don't see it as being perpetually transferrable, but that it's for the end when God judges the WORLD (nations/Gentiles) which He hasn't done yet, but I think most of us believe it is not far away now. Rom 2:8-11 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey...

    When Doctrine Corrects Christ

    Oh, is He not God of the Gentiles also? He is King of the Israel of God......which is His spiritual kingdom made up of both Jew and Gentile. Israel after the flesh rejects Christ as King. Beware of the Temple when it is built.......the Lord showed me a very strong seductive spirit associated...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    If we do wrong we need to bring it to the cross and ask God's forgiveness for it. Thankfully we have an Advocate who ever lives to intercede for us. And I'm not someone who forgives herself easily, just so you know. If I inadvertently mess up in some way, I tend to beat myself up for a very...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Well, it is as the bible says, the gospel is foolishness to some and the natural man can't perceive these things. Though they are not really illogical either if we consider the new man and Christ IN us, the hope of glory. But we are certainly not to abuse this grace and take it for granted by...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    It's not presumptuous if you have the honesty and humility to realize the difference between what God has placed within you and what you are actually walking in. He has given us all things and we are complete in Him but the question is whether or not we are yet living up to all that He has...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    All things HAVE been put under the feet of Jesus, but we do not yet SEE (necessarily) all things put under His feet. We have been made a new man but are not necessarily yet walking in or manifesting him consistently.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    It is not "our" righteousness either, that we are learning...we are learning to submit to the righteousness of God (Christ IN us). What do any of us have that we didn't RECEIVE (from Him)? The flesh profits nothing.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Well, we are told to seek first the righteousness of God and His kingdom.........even though we have been made righteous and have been translated into the kingdom. We are told to enter His rest, even though we who have believed have entered His rest. When one is walking in the Spirit (walking...

    Cleansing by the Word

    I think of it that we still "have" sin because it still resides/exists in the body that is dead because of sin. But when someone is walking in the Spirit they are not "committing" any sin because of walking above the old man and sin, and they are instead walking in (putting on) the new man...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Well, it is all HIS word....that will never pass away....it has been thoroughly refined - purified/perfected, tested and tried - proven to be true. As the Word made flesh (Jesus) was tested and tried, proven and perfected through suffering and death.

    Cleansing by the Word

    What exactly are you calling a false and illusive bridge to nowhere.....I hope that isn't what you are calling faith in Jesus...? There is no problem with the bridge..........the only problem is if people just stand looking at it instead of actually using it to take ground. As per the servant...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Silver has healing and antiseptic properties........washing of the water of the word....it cleanses. And think of the Word made flesh....pure spotless Lamb. HE cleanses and disinfects.

    Cleansing by the Word

    What do you make of these scriptures below? 1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1Jo 4:4 Ye are of God...

    Cleansing by the Word

    I believe amigo is referring to this passage: 1Jo 5:9-13 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him...

    Cleansing by the Word

    Just want to mention....the book of remembrance was for OT faithful ones before the cross.....that when Jesus died they would not be forgotten and left in their graves but would be "made perfect" with us....written in the book of life. There is no book of remembrance in the NT, only the book of...
