The preaching of the cross is about power from heaven. The power of God. In your scheme grace blinds God to your true condition. So then grace for you is not the power of God...it is the powerlessness of God. All you have to do is turn everything upside down...from serving the flesh and its...

It is the power of the cross that takes away the power of the flesh and makes us able to receive God's grace that makes us holy....and righteous. Your modern ideas are so artificial that you can make all this stuff up in your imagination...and then claim you are doing what is says in the bible...

The sample of grace...the aravon...is meant to have us taste and see that the Lord is good. We have an experience of spiritual life, eternal life, and the kingdom realm, at regeneration. But we will lose that place because we don't understand what holiness is and the cost of it. Like Paul in...

As usual, you mislabel everything and make outrageous claims that have no basis in fact, let alone truth. Since you attack me for what you do...you might want to look a little closer at why you say what you do. Holiness is NOT legalism. So then just how are you deflecting what you are doing...

:rolleyes: :ummm:

These guys like to make up things because they can't stand the truth. Of course we are forgiven.....that's not the point of the cross. These guys want to be forgiven WITHOUT a holy walk. The cross is about sanctification, not forgiveness. God has ALWAYS been merciful. But He wants us to live...

How are we to tell the difference between the true gospel and what is for all intents and purposes "another gospel"? The modern church too often finds its legitimacy in an artificially generated gospel that is without power; where any kind of eternal security must be supposed and presumed...

What people will surmise based on the decoy gospel....for those who don't love the truth... is that God wants to cover up YOUR sins with HIS righteousness. And that is the furthest thing from the truth. That is why it is so popular. Jesus doesn't cover up our sins. First comes a cleansing from...

Most won't receive the truth, having already set their minds on the easy decoy gospel. Why should we expect a future entrance into the kingdom of God when we are not permitted entry into it now? Should we not endeavour to enter NOW to make our salvation sure?

Those who belong to Christ have BEEN CRUCIFIED in the flesh. Jesus didn't crucify Himself. And we can't do it either. The power of the cross is not in our hands. Look deeper into how and why the bible is translated in a way that denies the power of God.

Touchy-feeliness on your part doesn't mean I'm mischaracterizing. you. You are exposing your own bent here. I'm not talking about myself. Get over yourself. The bible is not meant just for comfort, but is instruction into life. As such we can protect our flesh...or expose it. You expose your...

Paul says "in me dwells no good thing. " Christianity is about what we do outwardly. Buddhism and New age thinking dichotomize the inward state and the outward acts. There is no "deep truth" in yourself that is not coming out. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...and acts. We...

If people have a hard time with hearing God by the Spirit, they are going to freak out when it comes to the gift of SEEING in the Spirit. Spiritual faculties are given to those who are born of the Spirit....and baptized in the Spirit where necessary. (Some receive both simultaneously). Seeing in...

Without the presence of God, the gifts of the Spirit, the voice of God guiding and building His church in real time....there is NO church. All we have is a religious decoy counterfeit. Ministry is about unfolding the mystery of an eternal God building an eternal relationship with His people. The...

Mocking tone. No. God speaks to His servants. Most people are not called to that level of service to God. The "common" believer is to follow Christ from whatever distance he/she is able. I call this the lower walk because it is based on a human faith and faithfulness. God goes easy on such as...

Reading the bible should provide us with more questions that answers. Once we get the questions right, we can seek God's face for answers. That's when He speaks to us...directly with the "still small voice". Doing so we avoid indoctrination, opinions, surmising, assumptions, presumptions...etc...

This is the same old "Law Versus Grace" argument. How can we know that anything outside the law is from God? We know the law is from God. But what of the testimonies in the NT? Are these backed up by the law? So the early Christians were persecuted for their "extra-scriptural" experiences and...

Those 2 verses you are comparing are speaking on 2 different levels. No more condemnation is speaking of the holiness standard of a person who walks in the power of the Spirit...IN Christ where there is no sin. The "whatever is not of faith is sin" is on the righteousness level...not the...

At whatever level...whether in righteousness or holiness...he who is faithful in little is also faithful in much.

Comparing the written words from God to what the Spirit says to Christ-followers should be easy enough if we look at this in balance. The words of God could be seen as a map. They are not personal to us...they are general and meant for all. So they are good for corporate decrees, readings and...
