    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You don't seem to understand what I'm saying or what the testimony of the bible says. And you haven't answered any of my questions. You believe in a sinful walk, obviously...and have not yet tasted divine grace, the power over sin. The perfection is in Christ...that's why we need to enter into...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    In Christ we walk as He walked in HIS perfection. I have walked that way for 2 lengths of time. The first I lasted a few days. It was new to me and I started to feel trapped...I was far too selfish to appreciate God's miraculous walk in the Spirit. Next time was 18 years later and this time I...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The key is in the very description of the higher righteousness...it's called the righteousnes of God...so it is His. The righteousness of saints is called interestingly..."the righteousness of saints". That kind of righteousness comes about by obedience to God in the anointing of the Spirit (a...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You don't believe in holiness? What about the power of grace? What about resurrection life? What do you think being under grace means?

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Yes, there are different anointings for different purposes. raising the dead and healing the sick are for outward miracles...and these could have temporal benefits. But God hides His intimacy for those who seek Him with a whole heart, and are humble and broken. The inward miracles are greater in...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Indoctrination into badly translated verses like 2 Cor. 5:21 is rampant...and can easily be corrected. That verse should read... "He was made to be sin by us (evil men), who knew no sin, that we (who believe) might fulfill the righteousness of God in Him." It was evil men that made Jesus to...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You are too easily duped. Nowhere does it say that the imputed righteousness is Christ's own or God's own. Your error places you beyond the pale of the most ridiculous false claims yet. Those who enter INTO Christ by translation into Zion are COVERED with an anointing that causes them to...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Most believers are invited as guests to the feast of God. If we sow in righteousness we will reap in mercy. Notice the two levels of righteousness...both from OUR faith and from the faith OF Christ. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    How can so many believers all agree on things that are NOT found in the bible...and all collectively ignore what is indeed written in the bible...without the slightest protest? It is indoctrination. The way that children believe in Santa Claus. The answer is to put away childish things and...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    that is UNTIL we come to the unity in the full stature of Christ. None of this is automatic. The prophetic ministry HAS TO BE restored according to how Paul describes how the ekklesia is to meet. We will never agree on things if we willfully ignore the biblical admonitions. As long as we...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    It isn't for us to declare ourselves righteous based on our beliefs. Everything is coming from us and a religious imagination in that case. God must intervene personally in the life of the individual...if we are to have a unique and personal testimony of Christ. And this goes beyond a change in...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    No one is as righteous as Christ, therefore that level of righteousness is always His own and can never be imputed to us. You simply don't understand spiritual things.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Paul would disagree with you. And every other author of the bible too. Exploiters of God are not championed in either testament.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Hey Shep. The problem lies with a lack of depth in the theologians who try to cover up their ignorance with their convoluted attempt to make sense about something they haven't experienced. Having an interest to study the bible is not the same as being an apostle or prophet. And people that...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The gospel was presented to the world at the time of the early church through a living testimony backed up by the Old Testament Scriptures. The written New Testament came later. Does our understanding of the gospel line up with the Scriptures?

    Are you interested in deeper life issues, spiritual truth and reality, ultimate purpose, community and authenticity? In this episode we explore part 2 in the series on authentic Christianity, namely, abiding in Christ. Is there more than one level to this? Are there different proximities to God...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    Not at this time (in this life). Jesus is the only door to salvation. The only way to the Father. There is no other power or law but Christ that saves a person from sin and death. But that doesn't mean that God will not have mercy on those who never knew Jesus. The world will be judged by their...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    Yes. Yes. Exactly what it says. Jesus died for the sins of the world...not just the church or those who heard of Him. We will be judged by our works, not our beliefs. OK

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    And yet God will forgive iniquity. We all have a share in iniquity...even King David. But we can't say that God hates David...who worked iniquity. So then the seal of the Lord is to DEPART from iniquity (I hope you got that part)....meaning to forsake what God hates. You are missing the deeper...

    Authentic Christianity Part 1: Head Christian vs Heart Christian

    I am weary with repenting." (Jeremiah 15:6) Upon further examination...I hadn't looked at the Hebrew initially... the word for repenting actually is NACHAM which has more to do with comforting or rest. When God says "they shall not enter My rest" because of unbelief....I think that covers the...
