    Jesus's Explanation of Grace in it's Nature and Effects.

    You are saying that a cop that lets you go based on mercy is smarter than the one who charges you and then pays for the ticket himself. That isn't how grace works. Grace (NT grace) is the power from God to fulfill the commandments. To walk as Jesus walked.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Sure...but you are assuming that the template is enough to fill itself. The template is there as a vessel in shape of Christ...but we still need to be filled up....filled with the Spirit. And we are not learning as Jesus did. Jesus was learning how to be human. We are being readied to carry the...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Whether the ego is complaining about a challenge to an assumed righteousness on God's level...or used for an attack on the rightness of what I teach as being too "mystical" or too "God-complexy" ....I still hold out hope that some will read this thread to some benefit. :) The real issue is...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    You are too funny! The Bible was written in the language it was conveying the thoughts in. Where does it say that rich spoiled Westerners don't have to love God's words enough to read them properly? David said...O Lord...how I love your instruction... Instead we might say...O King James how...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Exactly? That's how I feel about your intrusions here. That's why I try to stick mostly to my own threads. I find the premise of so much religious thinking is erroneous from its inception. I am close to putting you on ignore...as you have abee in your bonnet...and have not once written...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    See! because I say that I'm speaking of what I know...you call that a God complex. But that is your ignorance of God's way with people talking. You shouldn't trust ANYONE that speaks for God then. You should throw out your bible since it was written by men. And predictably right here you will...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    A speck? Oh my...I'm trying to deal with your ignorance here. You are ignorant on many levels....as you wish for us to know, and me in particular. Why? I don't get your motivation..knocking me down? Making my words less true? It's a silly notion. If you throw garbage at me...I will identify it...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I think you are evaluating human opinion...as humble as it may seem...to be on a par with the revelation of God. Again, if I didn't know anything besides what I read and formulated in my own mind...then I could appear as humble to you...but I am speaking of what I know and experienced. if...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    I'm expressing what everyone else here is expressing....words that come from God. Bible verses come from God. And He is greater than you...so maybe you feel intimidated? There is authority in the word and the testimony of the word. My point is to bring light...yes, to teach what I've learned. I...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    FYI The bible was written in what you call "foreign" languages. They are only foreign to you because you have not taken the time and effort to know God's word properly. I get that most Americans have never considered that other languages are not foreign to other people. As in..they have a word...

    I Like This Man

    I tried listening to a few seconds of this...all I can get is that he hates sleeping bags and that he's into outward miracles....just a typical American style religious guy to me.

    I Like This Man

    If the KJV was good enough for Paul and the apostles...it's good enough for me! ;)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Too funny bro! :) Your ego just hates the idea of being a step below (or behind). You are simply expressing the threat you feel as it appears real to you. You judge from your ego. I don't care who is ahead of whom? I am a learner and I pick up on things to further my understanding. But I am in...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    You are a funny one. Seeing you have yourself reached the pinnacle of all understanding, in your own estimation, you must then assume that anything beyond your understanding must needs be suspect...or downright evil. Sure, ok. Continue as you have been.

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    What doesn't bring glory to God is the modern American style dogmatic religion. ;) It is based on self and the pursuit of personal happiness. You aren't seeing the irony in your statement. Gnosticism is about saving knowledge...like modern evangelicals who believe they are saved by believing...

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    An inside work of God...yes. And now there is a template of Christ in our hearts that we are to go to God for to be filled. We are to be conformed to Christ in the inner man. I think too often I will say things that I put a LOT of time and seeking into....but without that same depth of seeking...

    Actually its "G sus" "G sus" ALL "G sus".

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    Actually, you have the scale wrong. We are born again into the wilderness walk. You haven't been paying particular attention to what I've been saying. We are not imputed a higher walk for walking in the wilderness in our own power. There is a higher calling than that...that few will experience...

    Just let me know when I can post on my own thread. Thanks in advance! :)

    Imputation is based on the Old Testament

    A Cessationist? Nobody likes when people impute spiritual gifts to themselves. Especially the more striking ones...like apostle or prophet. Although those same people like imputing the righteousness of God to themselves. Go figure! Religious conditioning, however, overcomes the natural...
