    Shootings in America

    I think the school problems would come to the end if they brought back the nuns...they didn't allow ANYTHING untoward in class.

    Law vs GRACE!

    While much of what you say is true...however, there is no conclusion to the matter. You assume that by describing what Jesus did that somehow counts for us on an intellectual level. You are neglecting to parallel the animal sacrifices of the OT...and reflect that into offering ourselves as...

    Faith in Christ vs Faith OF Christ?

    We are to go from faith to faith. From our human measure of faith in Christ to the faith that has us walk in a miraculous resurrection power...which is the faith OF Christ. Both are necessary to be under grace. We were kept under the law until the faith (of Christ) would be revealed. People...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Grace is God's power given to us to walk as Jesus walked...without sin...holy and blameless...a Bride without spot or wrinkle. The only way there is by faith. Those who walk in resurrection life are not affected by sin and death.

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Caught red-handed....only honest to the point of unbelief...after that...deflection.

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    You are exactly what you accuse me of. You are deflecting. Your questions are those of an unbeliever. And you have ignored my honesty question to you... Are you honest? Really? Then admit you don't believe that with Christ ALL things are possible. Admit that and we can move on.

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    I'm not you...yet you judge me as if I was you. I'm not the unbeliever here. What I'm saying is what the gospel proclaims...and I have lived it...and testify of it. Resurrection life is not only possible...it is the high calling in Christ. And this calling is so far above what is taught in the...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    You are making the error of thinking that walking in the Spirit is by effort. The reason why the truth is not reflected in people you know is based on the times...not the truth. You are trying to judge the Bible based on your own observations...just as unbelievers do. Maybe you need to travel...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    What if God personally provided a way to obey the law perfectly... by say...by enabling us to enter into the only Person that can do so (Jesus Christ) and His grace empowering the humble human to do exactly as the human Jesus did? Let's call this hypothesis...the New Covenant. All who sin are...

    The Holy Spirit in The Book of Hebrews

    I maintain that the GodHead is Father and Son...united by one holy Spirit. God is Spirit. There is no need for another Person to help the Spirit of God or the Spirit of Christ. The 7 Spirits of God are BEFORE the throne of God...not sitting on it. Do more research!

    Do Christians sin like the unbelievers?

    Do people believe Jesus was sinless and perfect? And yet there is a huge disconnect between saying you believe that...and believing that in Him is no sin. If we abide in Him we do not sin. When we put on Christ, we put on His perfection. This is according to the grace empowerment by God. But it...

    Imputed Righteousness is not Salvation and Justification of God

    The Lord imputed righteousness to Abraham based on his faith. His faith, his righteousness. People will confuse human righteousness with the righteousness of God. Abraham did NOT have the righteousness of God. Rather, he was noted for his faith and that made him a righteous man (humanly...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    The word "belong" has to do with ownership. Most believers do not BELONG to Christ. They follow their own minds. We can follow Jesus at whatever distance we find to be comfortable to us. We are free to do as we please. There are VERY VERY few bondslaves of Christ...owned by their Master. We own...

    This is why most believe that Jesus is a Man/Son and not God.

    This is going too far the other way. Many of the early Jewish believers were Ebionites. Look them up. They championed the HUMANITY of Jesus by obeying His commands...to sell all and do as He did. The early believers had all things in common. They came to deny the divinity of Jesus in favour of...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Yes. Yes. They will appear before the Bema seat of Christ to be judged on a personal basis for they have done....whether good or bad. This is vague. Inaccuracies stem from vagueness. There are different ways the Spirit works in people. Some receive a touch from God...some are led by the...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    You are fully missing the New Covenant. Here where I live...in Canada ...the highways have both a minimum speed (60kph) and a maximum (more of a suggestion really ;) ...100kph) That is to keep traffic flowing. If those signs could be brought back into the 1700's...people would be talking...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Now you are proving that you walk in unbelief. No one can represent Christ within the walls of their unbelief. You need conversion to the faith OF Jesus Christ...and not just holding to beliefs ABOUT Jesus. I pray you stop limiting God and what His grace can do.

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    You will have to wait and see on judgment day...UNLESS you begin to believe that through Christ ALL things are possible. I testify to such a walk because I have walked in it. Whether or not others have, I don't know. There is no way of knowing if a person walking down the street is walking like...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Only those who abide in Christ. It is the "no longer I but Christ." You are smart and you are honest...I like conversing with you. :) But you have to go beyond what you are able to formulate in your own mind and move into the miraculous grace of God to understand the gospel. (actually...the...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    You have it exactly backwards. Only through Christ are we able to fulfill the letter of the law. The law brings DEATH to the outer man...our own capabilities and strength. But that very same letter of the law SHOWS that a person who abides in Christ is walking in the power that resurrected Jesus...
