...or the monkey with his hand in the bottle who is stuck because he won't let go of the shiny object. :)

LOL. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone claiming to the the righteous one. People need to know themselves and stop trying to exalt themselves and justify themselves. The Pharisee will always claim to be the Publican and the Publican (because he is humble...of all things) will claim...

I'm not a Trinitarian, but I know that Jesus is God the Son. :) Jesus indeed benefited from His own death and resurrection. Jesus is fully human as well as being fully God. People tend to be one-sided and therefore lack the balance that is in the truth. Trinitarians err on the side of denying...

You disbelieve when I testify of a supernatural walk in resurrection life and I'm the one who is using human reasoning.? ;) The carnal mind inverts the truth.

I am speaking of my own experiences of abiding in Christ...that relate PERFECTLY with the testimonies in the Bible. Walking in the Spirit is to experience the power of the age to come. If you knew the Bible better you would see many verses in what I'm relating to you. But spiritual things can...

Being in the Spirit is not looking at Him...it is looking through Him. We can do all things THROUGH Christ who strengthens us. There is no tourist walk in Zion. The curious part of us is on the cross when we abide in Christ. We enter into the Spirit in order to live THROUGH Christ. Jesus said...

To be invited into the abode of the King is one thing. To wish to remain there and only there is a whole other thing. We are to trust in God and rejoice in all things regardless of where we are. We don't choose what country we are born into. Likewise we are born again by the will of God...

Election by God is by....election. :) There is no way to enter INTO Christ in a personal way unless the Father gets involved. It is at His discretion. We are TRANSLATED into Zion by the Lord....taken up to abide in Christ where He is. Totally miraculous. Our way in is to surrender and entreat...

Being where He is in Zion. Seeing what He sees, doing what He does, loving as He loves, walking as He walked...no longer I but Christ. Walking in the light is a supernatural walk in a spiritual and eternal resurrection life...we have this treasure in earthen vessels. Being covered PERSONALLY by...

You are right. Being born again puts Christ in us...but I was comparing being in Christ and abiding in Christ. We are covered by Christ corporately when we are in His Body. I could have said "in Christ's Body"...but I was using Jesus' terminology in John 15. We can also be spit out of His...

You're speaking of Old Testament grace. As in..."if I have found favour in Your sight" based on human righteousness and the free mercy of God. But NT grace is the power of God to fulfill the "letter of the law" at the highest level according to God's holiness. We fail the grace of God by...

Most of us will fail the grace of God. (I know that so many have been taught that grace is the same as mercy...but I'm speaking of the NT grace...the grace of Jesus Christ) To whom much is given more is required. So then Jesus is helping the majority of us..."when we fail" the standard of the...

Greetings, I think there is a lot of confusion about being IN Christ and abiding IN Christ. Being in Christ is by association...being part of a household. And abiding in Christ is by a direct union with God. Paul says.. "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the...

You are confusing conversion with an encounter with the living God. A common mistake among those who have been indoctrinated into a religion. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) illustrates a repentance from evil into doing what is right and good. Scrooge was converted to...

This is a great response my friend. :) I hope that others here on the forum will see how important a humble stance is before God if not before our fellow brethren in Christ.

I do. Jesus is the first-born of the New Creation. He had to make a way for us to become part of that New Creation. None of us was worthy to open a gap in the law of sin and death. I'm neither a Trinitarian nor a Unitarian...nor one who denies that Jesus is part of the GodHead (Humanitarian)...

"You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble." James 2:19

The lesson is...if you can't walk among the holy then make friends among the righteous. And your version is downplaying the lord's commendation of the unjust steward. He calls him wise. But most believers are not so wise. Most are taught that they will inherit glory and as such do not make...

We can be faithful to God without walking on the level of the Spirit in Zion. We can pray and meditate on His words while remaining humble and thankful in all things. We can be quick to forgive and ready to help others. We can learn to be patient and have self-control when we learn how weak we...

Righteous is as righteous does.
