What we hunger for is HIS righteousness...not our own. We are covered by His grace (in righteousness and holiness) when we enter into Him. It costs us our lives (outer man) to be translated into a walk in the light of Zion. Very miraculous and the best kept secret in the world! :)

When we are accepted on that level...the Spirit comes down on us and brings us into His supernatural peace and joy. We need faith and trust when we are NOT filled with the Spirit. Paul says we are ALWAYS to do all things to be ACCEPTED of Him...whether we are present with Him (in the Spirit)...

Accepted yes...but the standard that is intimate and leads to rulership with Him has to be on a level that is pleasing to Him. We are not all cut out to be rulers in the next age. Most believers in our time are not humble enough to become leaders. The present culture has affected the way people...

It is a well known fact that none of the apostles ever received a flu shot. It is almost certain that Jesus didn't either.

Yes. And the word for measure in the verse is the Greek metron which means a limited portion. How many are satisfied with the free sample but refuse to go to God for the full portion of grace that is obtained by putting on Christ? Having a sample of grace doesn't put us under grace as...

Jesus had no faith? Is this a denial that Jesus was fully man and subject to the same temptations as ourselves? Your error is a deep one. Jesus modeled the NEW MAN that we put on to walk as He walked. IN Christ we put on His perfection...BY the faith OF Jesus Christ. (A faith that was not in...

The Bible is built on two levels...righteousness and holiness. A measure of faith is not the same as a fulness of faith. Our faith is not on the same level as the faith OF Christ that does miraculous things. Do we do miracles with human faith? Of course not. Our faith needs to be strengthened by...

By moral law do you mean the law of righteousness? No, Jesus came to fulfill the law of righteousness and allow us to enter into the higher standard of righteousness which is IN Him. A greater law overshadows a lesser law the way the light of the Sun outshines the light of the moon and stars...

Actually we have an outer man because of Adam...because of his sin we were cut off from God and HIS covering...so we were naked in the world....both physically AND spiritually. We all have an outer man to cover up our spiritual nakedness. But what is good for this world is a hindrance for...

Not at all. Paul was not a philosopher. As a Jew he was very pragmatic in his descriptions. He in fact warned against vain philosophies. Rather he experienced the inner man/outer man duality in very real contrast....that's why he wrote what he did. Whether we will benefit from his admonitions...

When Paul says..."it is no more I" he is identifying with the part of him that God does....the inner man. He is identifying a law in his members...the outer man. When Paul says I am crucified with Christ....he is saying that his outer man is out of the way. "No longer I"... is the outer...

We are born again in the inward man...or inner man...the part of us that contains our spirits....and our wills. That is the part of us that is created in God's image...and EVERYONE has an inner man. So that makes all people redeemable. The outer man is the outer covering of protection needed for...

Follow the bible. Paul speaks of the outer man...the shell that protects the weakness and nakedness of the "outer man" of the flesh. Here the flesh is a power...a nature...imbued in the outer crust of the soul. Sin is within the body...not the body itself. The problem is a spiritual...

This is more ridiculousness that has the coming of Christ to be a side-show compared with the supposed REAL righteousness....that of Abraham. o_O

One day Mark might say. "Man I didn't realize how much my outer man was burying my inner man. I'm sure glad that pesky Epi guy stayed on my case otherwise I might never have come through the time of blindness. I was SO SURE that I was rich and in need of nothing. Man, what was I thinking?" "Oh...

I know the difference between the outer man and the inner man. There is no way an outer man can fake the fear and humility required for a real connection with God. It goes against his nature to do so. No, the doctrines must be turned around to favour a smug self-assurance. When you see a radical...

I know what you are saying. I have read the statements of faith that most people here are parroting. But there is NO understanding coming from the argumentation...because as soon as a verse is cited that totally destroys the premise of the statement of faith...it is either... 1. ignored...

How many here believe that God imputed His righteousness (just as holy as God is) to Abraham as opposed to just seeing him as a just and faithful human? Was Abraham born again from heaven? Did Abraham walk in the death and resurrection of Christ? let's see how much confusion reigns...

I respond according to your responses. if you justify yourself from the outer man I will call you out for it...in hope that you will be saved in a deeper way...in the inner man. No posturing...just honesty and truth. Maybe nobody has tried to speak to you with any depth before? Maybe everybody...

I am indeed against the religious posturings of the outer man. So you are right about that. BUT, I appeal to the inner man...the part of you that is actually created in God's image. The problem is that until a person is crucified, the person will hide behind the outer man and claim to be saved...
