Boxing analogies aside, do you think God sees us as righteous as He is because we believe Him?

Enough of all this edification business! ;) ...hey...look at that thread over there!

Hey welcome to the thread. Yeah, speaking about righteousness can get pretty nasty. A devil thread? We're dealing with humanity and the basic tendency of the flesh towards unbelief. If someone testifies to the higher walk...the cries of "liar, or, imposter"...ring out! Of course we read of the...

I do find you funny...and in more ways than one! As I have said.. I don't expect random people from the internet to agree with the deeper issues concerning the way in Christ. The way is narrow and few will find it. And ego champions will have zero idea of what I'm talking about. Of course you...

Do you maintain that your name is Mark? Or are you reconsidering your position on that! ;) I realize that I'm wasting my time trying to get anything across to you...so until the next time.

While this is true in principle...we see the majority living from the carnal mind and acting out of uncrucified flesh. Now, we could say they are not listening to those who lead them...or else...they are listening to those who coddle their flesh. What you are missing here is that God raised...

Hey Nancy. I'm used to posters denying the truth of the Bible. So many only pay attention to verses and ideas that they LIKE or WANT the bible to say. So these ignore obvious biblical truth and exposition. It's very hard to have an honest dialogue with those who live from the outer man. So then...

The religious outer man does what he is meant to do...protect the carnal life that one has learned to live by and depend on. But that man must be crucified to allow the inner man to belong to Christ. Can you see the difference? What more can be said here? Much discernment (in love).

See? You are not seeing yourself. Many people are seen by others but remain a mystery to themselves. Just put your thumb on your own pulse. Now read my posts. Will your flesh not react? And yet my most fervent prayer is that we ALL would escape the judgment on the rich lukewarm church culture...

From your sensitive carnal reactions. You don't see yourself. But you are championing the religious outer man who wants God to preserve EVERY part of us...thus denying the cross. This will be hated by you...because it doesn't seem like love to you. Instead ...it's...love me love my flesh. Much...

Why not? The Israelites were saved into the wilderness...saved...but then they were cut off during their training time. Paul says we also can be likewise cut off. Of course we are not born into Israel in the flesh. We are, however admitted into the higher race by being born from above. But we...

Believe what you will...but a public post is meant to inform and influence...either to the good or the bad...and this needs to be made clear. So my questioning of what people have been led to believe is for the good of all...including the one who holds to a religious certainty. Encouraging...

Quite the opposite. We are to seek the Lord while He may be found. People are taught to believe they are already accepted by God...so all they have to do is "accept" His free offer of salvation....no faithfulness necessary. If the salvation is all in the mind of the one who claims the free...

Do you mean they never THOUGHT they were saved? And what does that have to do with the multitudes who consider themselves as being saved...but in reality are not? How does your type of thinking help anyone. As in..they lost because they were losers. Or...they won because they were winners. They...

No other teacher but the Light? It is uncanny how people can look at the same verse in the Bible and come up with an entirely different interpretation. Even an opposite one. We have need that anyone teach us, as the Spirit of truth will guide us into all understanding. "But the anointing...

Rev. 10: 1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on...

The issue is the basis for the hope. And what part of us is doing the hoping. Jesus said that whoever loses their life will find it. If we are attaching ourselves to the hope of Christ with the wrong part of us...the part that is to die for union with Him...do we not end up in a situation like...

All I'm doing is using the understanding of God's ways (plural) as being a walk in our faith towards righteousness or/and a walk in the faith OF Christ in holiness. :) The bible makes sense if you understand there are two testaments. :) Each has a standard that is according to either mercy or...

To whom much is given, more is required. Teachers of error will be judged more severely. And the bible says to preach the gospel to the poor. And James says this about the poor... James 2:5,6 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of...

The poor in impoverished nations are members of many religions. The poor will be judged less severely because of their attitude...one that was honed through suffering. Whatever the religion...it doesn't matter, as the poor will be judged according to their love and service for others. We will be...
