Amen. In any case I would say most who have been on the path of maturing have seen God working and heard His voice at various times along the way. It's such a normal part of Christian life now and again that we don't make a fuss over these things and tend to take it almost for granted and not...

Did a search of the scriptures and the picture that emerges, if I'm not mistaken, is that the word of the Lord/word of God is a living God-breathed prophetic word or vision or dream - message - which prophetic men could and often did write down. Even the Law was given prophetically to Moses by...

Assume away sister.

Nope, you are jumping to the wrong conclusions about what I've been saying.

Only because you're not grasping what I've been trying to say. How about you do your own homework on it? I've already been working hard here.

I certainly agree with holiness and being perfected, and crave to see more being taught along those lines. And I don't agree with bad attitudes that crop up too frequently on forums. Some of it is just rough-and-tumble, I'm sure, but it can get nasty. But I read where Christ is the...

Yes from day one, that is what I believe..."unto all who believe." Hard to grasp how things that "aren't necessarily yet" on earth....."are" in heaven. It's like the scripture says the Lamb of God was slain from the foundation of the world, and yet we know He was slain in the first century...

Agree with this in principle brother, of course. :) But being made the righteousness of Christ is not darkness, oh my, that is the light that dispels our darkness! Scripture itself affirms this doctrine we're discussing and gives it as the reason for not sinning, and also goes on to warn in...

Thought I had already posted this, but I might have forgotten to, or maybe it was on another thread: Rom 3:21-22 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto...

Don't know what more I can say on this. Of course it needs to be taken in balance with the rest of the new testament teachings. People often do mishandle and misunderstand God word and jump to wrong conclusions....it doesn't make His word wrong.

Amen....just believe what the scripture says.

God "calling those things that be not as though they are."

Rom 4:23-24 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead Rom 5:16-17 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to...

It's true there are those who just pretend and parrot things in the bible, yes, or sometimes it's that faith isn't very deep and there is the need for their faith to grow etc. "Children" do tend to indulge in magical thinking. But that isn't the fault of the truth and what is written in the...

On what basis do we call people our brothers and sisters? Jesus said who was His mother, father, brother, sister...whoever does the will of the Father. And the idolatry and false doctrines that are prevalent within Catholicism is not the will of the Father. It wasn't me but the apostle Paul...

I don't disagree with everything you say brother, but on this point I believe you're not rightly dividing the word.....this seems to be reasoning to try and make something make sense that appears contradictory to the logical mind. Splitting hairs in a way. If righteousness is a gift from God...

Yes, absolutely. Through faith that is not of our own lest any man should boast. We are simply to follow/obey Him....His leading. And it takes faith/trust to do that.

I don't understand all of your post....but I suspect you're right with this. We think of it as a kind of linear journey but that is just an illustration....in the end I suspect it boils down to receiving revelation of what Jesus has already fully accomplished. The entrance of the word giveth...

Amen, yes it is. Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Rom 3:24-27 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his...

Better think about what wolf in sheep's clothing means my friend.
