    Don't get in a snit. Please try to listen. You are only relying on certain verses you have not understood...but added in an arrogant pride of human belief. A relationship works both ways. We will be judged by our works...of what kind they are. They who have sown to the flesh with a false...

    1 Corinthians 3: 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's...

    understanding Paul

    The passages you quoted are for the future New Covenant that is according to a new heart. That's not under the law. It's a prophecy. Jesus had to come to quicken people by the Spirit into new life IN Him. So you have gone way to far with applying a new heart to the law. The new heart is by a...

    The message of the cross to you is not about your experience...because you haven't experienced the cross...but simply the knowledge ABOUT the historic sacrifice of Jesus that you read about in the bible (or perhaps saw in a movie). But that's it. That's the only experience (non-experience)...

    You are just arrogant and lie. Everything centers on you and your flesh. See I post what I have always posted and you wish to take credit for YOURSELF. How wicked. So you are just a very common self-absorbed sinner who sins at a much higher level than you previously did. You have merely gone up...

    Grace is the power of God to walk according to the Spirit and fulfill the law of God. To overcome as Jesus also overcame. By grace through faith. Anything else is a lie. That is the higher walk.

    Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Notice the "legalism" of Paul here. Phil. 3:18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,

    You only see as you are. You are only seeing the word flesh because you only have the flesh to understand things with. If you had the option of a spiritual understanding you would see what I'm saying. So you are trying to grab hold of a spiritual gift...but with your self-centered flesh...and...

    You aren't understanding the bible..as if that is a surprise. There are 2 levels of walk in the bible. Paul is only concerned with the higher walk...the walk of perfection in Christ. He pushes away everything else to run THAT race. But unlearned and unstable people seek to make a salvation...

    When a person plays around with biblical concepts with the mind but without any sense of truth or reality....playing with fire seems quite safe.

    Watch as the lie is propagated. Someone who believes the law is holy and that God empowers people by grace to fulfill the law= legalist Someone who pretends they are something they are not through a dogmatic ideology based on the carnal mind= right believing

    In the same way that when Jesus died the veil (parochet) of the temple was rent from top to bottom exposing the holiest place to all priests in the temple...likewise when we are crucified with Christ, God's holy presence fills our hearts. And if are not yet ready to be crucified from this life...

    LOL You have to lie and misquote me to make your points because you are acting from your true source ...the carnal mind. You are posting things that expose your lies. So keep on lying to prove your real position to all. The truth to you is like something that hurts your flesh. So you seek to...

    The grace of God is a gift from God. But the purpose of that grace is hyjacked by carnal enemies of the cross to justify themselves while in the flesh...refusing to be obedient and ask, seek and knock for the full entrance into kingdom life. These draw back unto perdition.

    Faith, Hope, Love

    Amen. Rejoice in the Lord always. :) We are to be Christ centered...not self-centered. If we can't be crucified...dead...we can still carry our cross in this world. We can still identify with Christ and also the brethren...the "we." We can walk so as to encourage others. We can hold our ground...

    Backwards and false. You are justifying yourself in the flesh. You have no right to the finished work of Christ for yourself or for your self-centered effort to save yourself. Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it. Jesus said that...so you will ignore Him. I don't care if you ignore me...

    You can't see that many who are born again will be cut off because they remain self-centered...not Christ centered. They justify their flesh rather than taking it to the cross to be dealt with by God. They remain uncrucified and have no life from God. To have everything revolve around a birth...

    Coming INTO the LIGHT.

    Not at all. People don't understand that Paul is speaking about a spiritual kingdom walk. And this is a walk that almost nobody understands these days. So the message is being entirely lost. People divide by the flesh and the lies of the flesh. This is grieving to God and His Spirit.

    Being truly born again means a revelation of an entirely new realm....the kingdom realm of the Spirit. Now this is nothing for the flesh to boast of. It is a gift of God but not a pass for sinful flesh. From that new birth comes the higher calling of entering into the kingdom realm and walking...

    Abiding in Christ is to walk as a dead man with Christ's life manifested in the mortal body. To disparage that is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit...who is doing the works. It is to be an enemy of the cross. A person who walks in the resurrection power of Christ is only a legalist to the devil. To...
