    What is the purpose of Grace?

    The finished work is not grace...it is His sacrifice to win back the world from the devil and death. He defeated both through His sacrifice and resurrection. But this is a corporate work of God whereby only God deems who is saved and who is not. And to what degree. We can't read the bible and...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Complicated? So, basically you haven't a clue. You combine both ignorance and arrogance in your posts. You have simply been indoctrinated by men...and that makes you think that others need to carry your lunch pail? How hypocritical. It's easy...grace is the "power of God us-ward who believe"...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Well I guess there must be a whole lot of different Holy Spirits then since no 2 people can agree on anything. It's like when Jesus becomes you own personal Saviour (kind of like a rich person has a personal trainer.) The truth is that almost no one is led by the Spirit. Most people who THINK...

    Brother I am saddened at the state of the church today....

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I mean when we are UNDER GRACE meaning we are cleaved to Him as a magnet is stuck to a fridge....it is Him that keeps us there...no effort. It is by grace not works at that level. It is in holiness. What you are speaking of is what we do when we are NOT under grace. Then it is...draw near to...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Grace is the POWER to walk as Jesus walked. Grace gets us translated into the kingdom to walk IN Him. IN Him is no sin. Being under grace means we are no longer walking in our own power, where sin can drag us down. Even the smallest amount of grace overcomes sin. MY grace is sufficient for you...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    But the blood of Christ is a LIVING blood...an eternal kind of life. Not an animal life. It is SPIRITUAL in nature. Thanksgiving is to commemorate what Jesus fulfilled both at Passover and His death and resurrection. I do believe that the communion is a special event....but it's based on the...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Let go of the traditions of men...and enter into Christ. With God ALL things are possible...even to walk as Jesus walked.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    The Spirit is given to us to understand the depth of meaning of what we read in the bible....and also to cause us to experience an eternal kind of life in is peace. It's sad when people miss the whole purpose of the gospel. Most have a relationship with a book and not it's Creator.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    That's sad....you only see the physical aspect of the commemoration and not the power of the Spirit. So sad. The system sure does mess up people's minds. They don't enter the kingdom and they stop others from entering. This saddens me very much. Water baptism is NOT regeneration by the...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Poor you...needing certain word combinations....instead of congruence of MEANING. That's how you know that a person is indoctrinated. They can't track meaning...just react to certain words like a pet would. If you say to a dog...SIT. The dog will sit (if He's been conditioned to that word)...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    No one is righteous that sins not. The righteous sin. This statement is not meant to negate literally HUNDREDS of verses to the contrary. It is meant to balance the status of the righteous with holiness. No one is so righteous as the holy. Like when Jesus said that the least in the kingdom is...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    Since I don't get asked very many good questions I thought to bring this over from the closed thread... Sure...you don't seem to treat that with any reverence. Again, there are different depths to knowing...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    This is an opinion not supported in the bible. You are confusing the call on Israel and now the church with the world.
  15. Episkopos

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    This religious speak. And childish. Like...do I have to believe in the trinity to be saved??? Something a little unlearned child might say. You don't have to believe in the Jesus that saves you for the righteous. You need to obey Him whether you know Him or not. Minimum standard to love others...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    That is false. A man can be saved by a doctor without the person knowing who the doctor is. The man who was rescued by the Samaritan didn't know the Samaritan. now read the bible again. Lord when did we see you and minister to you???? Jesus answers...Inasmuch as you did it to the least of...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    John says that so that we don't sin...In Him is no sin. You teach a sinful salvation. How about a lawless holiness? Do you also adopt that. Being half-holy? Those who sin have never known God....read John in context. John spoke against Gnostics (see church history) who claimed that they NEVER...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    You are fully outside the biblical narrative...and following a decoy gospel that saves no one. I can save your soul from here... People will be judged on their DEEDS...not their beliefs. According to righteousness. God will judge the world in righteousness (not holiness) The higher walk in...

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    The actual purpose of grace is for the elect to be conformed to the image of Christ....so that He is the firstborn of many brethren.

    What is the purpose of Grace?

    I didn't think I needed to quote the bible with a "theologian". But I see you have been indoctrinated...you have never met the Lord. And you aren't able to see the scriptures in any other light. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he...
