So you have begun in earnest. ;) The gospel is not about history but what is available today by grace through faith. That's true. We can't claim benefits for ourselves based on anything we do or believe.

Jesus came to take away the sins of the world...not just forgive them. He became sin (not sins) for us so that He might bring us who enter into Him into the light of His love. We are not to try exploiting Jesus for our own use. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God...not OUR sacrificial Lamb. God...

A very misunderstood verse.

The term "all Israel" comes from the OT. Paul would have known the term because unlike so many moderns, he actually studied the bible. ;) All Israel means Ephraim. Notice how the bible explains it. 1 Kings 12:20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that...

Amen. The "fulness of the Gentiles" is Ephraim...the fruit of the Northern tribes that were "sifted through the nations." Joseph mean "increase". Basically fruit. Joseph's sons are Manasseh and Ephraim. (Ephraim means double fruit) Gen 48:4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful...

Eventually we will seek to measure up (or dissipate) to the doctrine we consider to be truth. Unfortunately, in our time sound doctrine is not endured by the multitude. Hence all the claims to a sinful righteousness from God.

Jesus preached an imminent access into the spiritual realm of the kingdom, through His death and resurrection. When we are thus crucified with Him we are strengthened by grace to walk in His resurrection life...in HIS perfection (without any spot or wrinkle of sin). Truly this is not understood...

The perfection of Christ can be understood in 2 ways. The full stature of Christ in maturity...or else the higher walk in holiness afforded to us by resurrection life that helps us get to the full stature of Christ over time. No one grows naturally, religiously, into any semblance of Christ. We...

I have seen heaven. The Mosaic law has indeed been abolished. Jesus acknowledged the Mosaic law as it was still pertinent at that time. But He preached the kingdom of God....just like Paul continued to do. We are now granted through Christ to be where He is...in the kingdom realm...to walk in...

New podcast. The 2nd in a series about Paul. This one examines Bart Ehrman's contention that the gospel that Paul preached was not the same as that of Jesus.

Community in the Spirit is so far beyond the normal way we Westerners live. It takes more maturity than I think we moderns are able to produce. Living selflessly is NOT seen as being necessary...it is seen as wrong by most. It is seen as cultic. In some cases the definition of a cult is a group...

I think giving our "firstfruits" to the Lord is a good thing. Likewise we have have tithed for decades...like more than 40 years. God looks after His people. Many will complain that this is too much...too religious... but who are you tithing to? Are you tithing to the Lord? Or are you tithing...

Hello to all. Let Paul describe his ministry in his own words.

Here it is again...Behold glorying in the suffering of Jesus. Behold thinks he understands Paul. But he understands Paul the same way that the Pharisees thought they understood Moses. Paul gloried in the power of the cross on HIMSELF...not that Jesus had to suffer. How misguided can one get?

The power of God to cause us to walk as Jesus walked...without any sin...for real. In Him is NO sin. Not the power to BLIND GOD to your true sinful condition. I preach the cross...for holiness...not for a perpetual sin affirmation.

If ever a thread title was apropos... does God give grace to the arrogant???

So why do you post what you have been indoctrinated to believe? I try to get you to read the bible. But you would rather read Mormon stuff. I try to get you to seek God...but you insist on twisting what little bible you have been taught to think gives you a license to sin. I also mainly igore...
