    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The mystery is in the nature of God who IS Spirit and is omniscient (without the need of a separate person to do that for Him). Notice this from Jesus... 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    You would have this to read...He was rejected by God. Look at what it says in Isaiah...then glance back at what I wrote..then repeat that a few times until it sinks in. it may take you doing this several hundred times to shake off the religious conditioning you have received. We imputed Him...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I thank you for your concern. But you are misrepresenting your own lack of understanding for God's ways with my reasoning faculties. You are not understanding the significance of this. The Jews see Azazel as the devil. The "escape goat." One goat is FOR the Lord...and is sacrificed. The other...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    You say you believe Jesus is BOTH God and man...yet when Jesus speaks as a man, you deny He is God. When Jesus speaks as God, you deny He is a man...You can't wrap your head around He being both at the same time. This may come as a surprise to you, but, Jesus ALWAYS did what was pleasing to the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    The idea that God the Father put Jesus on the cross is very wrong. In the parable of the vineyard you see the Father sending His prophets to warn stubborn religious people (don't I know what that's like! :) ) that they need to bear fruit.. When those pesky religious believers kill the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    A scapegoat is evil....one that is not "of the Lord." La-hashem How can Jesus be "not of the Lord? "... if He is the Lord? The scapegoat is actually believers who are not sacrificed...not crucified...they are set off into the wilderness, because they are not OF the Lord. As in...go away, I never...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    For the serious bible students...and God-fearers... Make 2 columns. The first is to list verses on how we will be judged by our own righteousness....and the second...how we will be judged as if we were perfect having God's righteousness. I say JUDGED....how we will be assessed by God on...

    How can you blaspheme the Holy Spirit....?

    It should come as no surprise that religious people have tampered with the text of the bible. But we can know when things have been tampered with. How? It doesn't fit in with the rest of the scriptures AND it serves men not God. We know the Masoretic (Hebrew bible) has been tampered with...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I have no idea. People have to be seen as in transition. We are in the wilderness walk...and there is always the possibility that people will let go of their religious presumptions and have an ear to hear the truth. of course, this is rare....but it does happen! ;) Even you, can learn what the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    In French it's called "Idée fixe". it means that we are so programmed with a single idea...no other idea can enter in. If we could set up a mind reader instrument to many who come to this thread....the read-out would say... "Our righteousness is as filthy rags"...repeated over and over, and...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    To be expected...actually the carnal mind can't help itself when confronted with God's ways.
  12. Episkopos

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I love the ways of God! He makes it so that religious people HATE what God approves...and love what God disapproves. And no matter what you say...the flesh knows how to hate the truth. And will always do so.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Don't muzzle the ox! As I minister the truth I also partake of the earthly benefits of the fellowship. :)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Are you questioning the sinful Christ syndrome ("sin"drome) of imputing Christ to wickedness? Religious people will get into a snit. But God will smile. :)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Basically non-threatening to your ego. :rolleyes:

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    That post must have been deleted or moved...because I can't find it. The early church was binatarian...Father and Son (Godhead of Elohim) united in One Holy Spirit. There is nothing MORE ORTHODOX than the divinity of Christ. For the first few hundred years, believers were...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    That's not a biblical idea. We indeed have a righteousness of our own or else God could never impute righteousness to us. Ours must simply be greater than the hypocrites. I find that so few modern church-goers know the bible...especially the scriptures. Do a study on how many people God saw as...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    It's called biblical doctrine. Adding in words to the bible is great sport....and fools a lot of people...but we must stick to what is written. God never treated His Son as a sinner. This is a misreading of the text. God ALWAYS sees things the right way. It is religious people that invent...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Voluntary surrender in humility. Jesus is the most humble person in the universe.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Answer to @VictoryinJesus It is our duty to be humble. It is an important part of what justifies us with God. God gives grace..........to the humble. And He resists the proud! Especially if they claim to be walking around in His righteousness while they commit every iniquity the flesh can...
