Actually, Jesus died for ALL of the sins of the whole world. It is very wrong to take the fulness of what Jesus did for oneself. Only God can forgive and justify.

I think we confuse OT forgiveness with NT grace. God has always been merciful....and He forgives. NT grace however is where we are empowered to live in a way where we no longer need forgiveness...since we are waling in the love of God. Where there is remission (freedom) of sins there is no...

There is an Old Testament grace and a New Testament grace. This video explores the difference.

Nancy you are always in my prayers. :) May you find an even higher purpose than that which you have ever known. The Lord guide you and direct your steps. <><

I'm going with the gospel. Must we reduce God to what we are? Is that what you are suggesting. Do you think you have arrived at the pinnacle of Christ-likeness? And yet such is the will of God. Do you believe we are to walk by faith...or by what we can do by the power of the flesh? What do we...

Through grace we are made able to walk as Jesus walked.,..without spot or wrinkle of sin. New Covenant grace is the power of God us-ward who believe... INTO Jesus, By abiding in Him we overcome as He overcame the flesh, the world and the devil.

It wasn't so much poor theology as corrupt practice. Luther had his own issues that he wanted to model into the church...not from God but from his own issues. So then the bad theology came into the Reformation in the guise of reforming bad practices.

There are two levels to be understood here. There is a huge difference between a godly man and a man of God. It is good to be wise but God hides His ways from the wise. Wisdom is on more than one level....hochmah and toushiyah. The latter is an eternal wisdom of which the first is only a part...

The options given here are either to follow a rabid monk called Luther or else an ecclesiastical golden calf called the pope. If there was true humility on this thread there would be no religious grandstanding at all. ALL denominations (religions with names)...as in "let us make a name for...

Hey Davy, Yes. I'm a musician...I was called as such when I was converted to Christ. I do recordings in various styles. I don't really gig anymore. I write, compose and play bass and guitar and some keyboards..and sing periodically. I'm currently finishing up a world beat jazz album project...

This parable reveals the difference between holiness and righteousness. The holy ones are held to a higher standard. If that standard cannot be kept then we are permitted to find a home among the righteous...to be accepted there for an eternal habitation. Without that understanding of...

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Num. 23:19

Hi Wynona! I don't know if this qualifies but learning Hebrew and studying the bible in the "lishon kodesh" (holy tongue) has helped to give my another facet to my understanding of God and His ways. If we are caught up with the things of the Lord then we will not be drawn into the world.

A good example of this even within the same verse is... "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom. 6:23 People are conditioned to read this as an either or...rather than an all-inclusive statement. This is akin to being married "for...

Bless you Venksta. Be courageous in the inner man of faith. I think the length was necessary to convey the complexity..and yet I still left out important aspects...like I added at the beginning of this thread with the "I am crucified with Christ yet I live..." (outer man crucified yet the inner...

The fear is on the outer man...as in..don't get in the way of the inner man coming to God. The confidence must come from the inner man. God is WAITING for the inner man. No need to fear from within. We are to come boldly before the throne of grace. So we are only afraid of God in the outer man...

I am teaching a spiritual walk in Christ. You are teaching a legalism based on a religious scheme that denies the power of the cross in the lives of believers. I leave you to your delusion as your own posts bear witness of what I am warning people about.

"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Phil. 2:12 I'm quoting Paul who you don't understand. Will you now be honest and admit you are condemning Paul...of course not...

I would say that almost all believers need the two steps to get into the resurrection walk. For the few that go immediately there...it is for a testimony to the others in order to encourage them to press on and upward in their walk.

You have it exactly backwards. The false teachers of righteousness are those who for a sample of grace then replace true righteousness with an outward conformity to a dead religious form...that has NO ETERNAL LIFE in it. A false righteousness is one that is imputed by outward beliefs...dogmas...
