The idea of sharing what we believe with one another is to first bond, then learn, never to compete.

Our spiritual bodies will be as Christ's risen body, consisting of flesh. "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have"(Luk 24:39). I believe the "members" are spiritual, not physical. That's why they are...

I think the post gave the impresion of the idea that of our rebirth wasn't experiential but was just represented by Christ. Our rebirth was actual and not just represented. We actualy and experientialy died and rose with Christ (as Episkopos stated). This event was experiential but what it...

"Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein"(Mar 10:15). "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven"(Mat 18:10). "And said...

(Fact pertaining to conditional truth is that it cannot affect positional truth. Fact pertaining to positional truth is that it can affect conditional truth: Parenthisis mine ) First of all, we must consider the area in which we are not accepted by God, nor ever can be (Rom 8:7: verse insert...

Episkopos, It's not that what He has, we produce also, but that Christ was sacrificed in our stead (vicarious) and all things are from Him to us. " Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean.

Righteousness was supplied at the cross and is appropriated at rebirth! If that answers the above question but I'm not sure what you're asking.

I believe the most important fact to remember, while we continue to learn to “rightly divide the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15), so that we may mature unto “the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13), is how many things we have in Christ are “imputed but not imparted” (mjs). For example...

When we first start out hungry and zealous for Him it is often imagined that extensive progress has been made, when as yet we have barely begun. As our Lord Takes us along through the years it slowly dawns upon us that there are vast, almost infinite, areas of development through which He must...

Sin and Hell are the same because they will end up in the Lake of Fire. All are born in sin but I know infants aren't accountable and will go to Heaven.

TYRANNY OF SIN "You were set free from the tyranny of sin" (Romans 6:18, Wey.). The tyranny of sin over the lost necessitated the death of the Lord Jesus on the Cross. The tyranny of sin over the saved necessitated the death of the believer in the Lord Jesus on that same Cross. The dual truths...

Hi Comm.Arnold and God bless you. I see it that men do not become children of hell because we are born that way. (Jn 8:44) Remember, we are to judge all experiences by the Word, not judge the word by experiences.

How you been Vengle? Thanks for you compliment and God bless.

Sarx, pronounced as sä'rks is the Greek word for “flesh” in scripture. The two primary definitions, depending on the context of course, are: a. the soft substance of the living body, which covers the bones and is permeated with blood; b. denotes mere human nature, the earthly nature of man apart...

I believe Paul in Romans seven revealed a dual-naturism within the Christian. Our personality isn’t equated with our nature because I believe the nature determines the personality, so it’s unlike a split personality as in schizophrenia. I’ve yet to encounter scriptural support for the concept...

For most of us, it is time to stop asking God for help. He didn't help us to be saved, and He doesn't intend to help us live the Christian life. Immaturity considers the Lord Jesus a Helper. Maturity knows Him to be Life itself. Dr. J. E. Conant wrote, "Christian living is not our living with...

Everyone here has been maturing for a while now and thanks to God for it, esp. as it continues---but only through His word, in His Son, by their Spirit. There are no longer disciples of Christ but children for the disciples could only follow. It's closer and more effective to be in Christ and...

There's only one Goliath in the Old testament. 1Sa 17:4; 1Sa 17:23; 1Sa 21:9; 1Sa 22:10; 2Sa 21:19; 1Ch 20:5. 1 Chro 20:5 and 2 Sam 21:19 are the same accounts of a single war. The problem is that it shows someone other than David killing Goliath. Jair and Jaareoregim are the same person...

When a believer begins to discover something of the awful tyranny of the self-life, or has been endlessly struggling against that tyranny, he becomes intensely concerned about the denial of self with the resultant freedom to rest and grow in Christ. Man has many ways of seeking to escape the...

3-25. COOPERATIVE LIVING "Put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man" (Ephesians 4:22, ASV). Positionally, in the finished work of the Cross and resurrection, we have been cut off from the old man through death, and have been born into the new Man by the new birth. "Ye have...
