But you are defining the formula with your human spin. We are made righteous by HIS power in us by faith making us to walk in His victory in this world. He becomes OUR life, holiness and perfection. That is what grace does. It empowers us. Grace is the power of God usward who believe.

Now you are sounding like the other sort of reasoners. Why do God's ways always have to line up with a person's way of thinking? Paul describes it as being present with the Lord or absent from Him. Like going for a walk. Are we always with our spouses? Yet we are to remain faithful. So if...

What makes things so difficult is that we have an established kingdom of truth being offered to us...and then we are (a few of us) fumbling our way into it by fits and starts. So then what does the transition look like? Are we instantly perfected (corrected from perfect)? Of course not. Are we...

You understand being led by the Spirit...but have you walked in Zion? So you mustn't limit the walk IN Christ as we are translated INTO the kingdom realm...to walk exactly as Jesus walked. But look closely at the instructions of Jesus... John 10: 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he...

The Christian life is very hard to understand for we humans. It takes a lot of revelation and patience. here are a few things I've noticed..even though this will not concern most people. There are paradoxes and conundrums such as.... 1. You can be alive to the Spirit without being IN the...

I don't see things that black and white. A man can walk in the weakness of the flesh but yet be led by the Spirit. And there is a process to maturity...going in and out of the Spirit. Most faithful Christians are in this category..and the reason they don't understand this being translated up and...

Keeping laws like sabbath and the kosher eating laws is what Paul had in mind concerning law keeping...which is Judaism. God is not looking for more of that kind of law keeping. But the law of God which detects whether we are sinning or not is fulfilled through grace. We become more and more...

Backward, Christian soldiers, fleeing from the fight, With the cross of Jesus nearly out of sight. Christ, our rightful Master, stands against the foe, But forward into battle we are loathe to go. Refrain: Backward, Christian soldiers, fleeing from the fight, With the cross of Jesus nearly out...

The carnal mind doesn't get to define for itself what is finished. Jesus overcame sin in His race in order for us to do likewise with His grace. Rev. 3:21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne...

Theoretical notions are not testimony. One must enter into Christ to experience HIS perfection...and from there bear fruit...an eternal fruit. God is sinlessly perfect....as is His Son. And as we abide in Him we are putting on His perfection to walk just as He walked. But very few can attest to...

Actually God imputing (accounting) means that He sees righteousness....like in Abraham or for Phinehas. One has to understand just how wrong the false gospel is...even changing the meaning of words to present the lie. Ps. 106:30Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped...

Wild accusations indeed. o_O What next...I'm plotting to steal Christmas? You are running out of superlatives and exaggerations to protect your false doctrine. You are free to believe in a fiction. But you are attacking genuine believers in so doing. Look to yourself and your own nasty...

Yes...a few. One of these ex-atheists became best man at my wedding. :) He also became a pastor for a time. You don't change people just with words...they need to see your actions. You need God to witness to them WITH you and through you.

Why don't you look to Christ instead of people? Why the ingrained and harsh unbelief? Why the hiding behind the flesh? I have said....over and over...the VERY biblical....we don't sin as we abide in Christ. But you either can't read or else you are so dishonest that you can't make the thought...

You do not understand and are twisting the words of Jesus. We are purified from sin from within. And from there the outside IS clean. Jesus was speaking of religious posturing that put on a show. But a crucified believer is pure to the very core. When we are on the cross inwardly (but in the...

I know the difficulty of the narrow walk. VERY hard to get there...but once you're there...it's easy and full of joy and peace. I know the full victory over sin WHEN I abide in Christ. We go in and out of the Spirit while we grow more and more into the likeness of Christ. I know the cross of...

You are trapped in an arrested development and lashing out like a spoiled child against what you see as demanding adults who are just trying to help you in your ignorance and poor attitude. Of course a new believer is given time to get his bearings. God goes easy on a person who has but a short...

People tend to rationalize the truth away. So reasoning in one's fallen mind does not lead to truth. Truth is something not understood at all at first. So then Jesus asked...why do you reason among yourselves? And this being a futility since no one understood the truth. It would be like...

You are in denial. You operate only in your own strength with the moral code you have inherited from Adam. And this imprinted morality based on human failure causes you the following/ Denial of the perfection of Christ available to people of faith. Denial of His gift of grace that causes us to...

Jesus was put on the cross because of moral convictions in religious service. The saints also. Morality supports the flesh and all manner of evil. It justifies itself in a bid for self-preservation. It sacrifices the truth for itself. And we too who speak the truth are also hated. Now people...
