No, and I'm not saying it is.

Ears to hear, sister.

....the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED FOR.

It's GOD'S word which says we have been made the righteousness of Christ. And maybe you haven't read where I posted at least a couple of times from Romans 4:17 where it talks about Abraham, how the Lord calls those things which be not as though they are. But the natural man can't receive this...

In God's economy, the way up is down, yes, we grow in humility and do not exalt ourselves, or think more highly than we ought etc.. It is the Lord who reckons us righteous, and it's by HIS righteousness not our own, so we have nothing to boast in.

Then it appears we need to learn the difference between faith and pretence. For the third time I'll quote this and hope it sinks in: Faith is the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN, the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for. Are you born again? If so, what happened when you were born again? Didn't the...

I just go by what the scriptures are saying brother....being taught by the Lord. Haven't belonged to a church in over twenty years. You are just plain upside down on this. Yes, we need to be on the narrow path of apprehending those things that have been laid up for us in heaven (imputed), but...

All I know is that the Lord has graciously chosen to not look at our sin but to reckon us as being righteous. And He can do that because we're not under the Law, but dead to it.....without the Law there is no transgression. And not to mention that as we have received of His Spirit....His...

Except that I don't say that. I say with Abraham that God is able to perform that which He promised.

I've had no dog in this race from the beginning. I was willing to consider what was being taught, having liked things that were being said about holiness......but unfortunately simply found that the things being said about imputed righteousness contradict scripture and undermine a hugely vital...

Here's the thing....it's not about "him", it's about the truth.

Perhaps disingenuous is the better word.

Yes, and if the questions being asked are designed for the purpose of propping up a particular pet doctrine, they are not honest questions to begin with, whether deliberate or unconscious. This is similar to how people will only see scriptures through a lens of their pet doctrine ( causing...

I wasn't even going to answer this, but goodness, what on earth have I been talking about all along sister....Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.....etc. It's looking as though some folks are not sincere in this conversation but are only hoping to find something...

I don't think in those terms and neither do many others who believe in imputed righteousness, on the contrary the more we go along the more grateful and humbled we become for that grace. It's more like God sees us as righteous, because we are "hid" in Christ. But we have received His...

Yes, everything in Revelation seems to be a reiteration of things that have already been prophesied. (Maybe we could say it is a kind of a bundling or summation of them all to "finish" or complete their fulfillment, at least on one level.) And I think it's good to keep in mind that Ezekiel was...

Yes, God's wisdom is manifold and His is a voice of many waters.....there can be different layers to the things He speaks in spirit. Speaking to Israel concerning their temple being one layer here, and church could be another layer since the church is also depicted as God's temple, and also...

The strong delusion is tied to the revealing of the son of perdition/Wicked one - who sits in the temple of God opposing God and exalting himself and "shewing himself that he is God".

This is going to throw a spanner in the works for some, but the book of Daniel is the only book of all the books of scriptures that was sealed to the end. It prophesied of the coming Messiah who John witnessed in the flesh in his days, and it prophesied of the judgment of Jerusalem and end of...
