Jesus walked without sin...and when we walk IN Him we walk the same way...in the same power. THAT is the NT standard. His perfection...His holiness...His life. No longer I but Christ. So we are to walk in that same victory....by faith.

The stakes are much higher now...if you want me to lead you through a bible study about this...let me know. The calling is higher...and the standard is WAY higher. It is perfection IN Christ. But we have been equipped to our scale by grace as they were to theirs in their own strength. Like a...

People don't walk as Jesus over the power of sin by that same UNBELIEF. THAT is what Jesus came to do...give us the grace to overcome as He overcame.

You are still not getting it. They were promised a physical land...Canaan land. So you are being dishonest....as so many modern believers are. But we have been saved into a race of faith....many who are saved...yes born again...will fail the grace of God. We are not better than the Jews who...

Everyone that died in the wilderness (Exodus) was saved. But they didn't please God. So then you have to get away from yourself and look to God and realize that salvation isn't what you think it is. At least you are not getting what God is looking for. Get your eyes onto the Lord and off...

What do you mean by saved? Saved to what? All Christians are saved FROM death. But many are saved TO shame and dishonour. You need to get away from the indoctrination of the pews and read the bible more carefully.

The only way to KNOW without presumption is to walk in the Spirit as we read about in the bible. Walking in His power and life in holiness. When you walk as Jesus walked...in that kind of love, joy and peace...then you KNOW it isn't you doing the works...they are from heaven. :) But a man's...

Zechariah 6 6 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 3 And in the third chariot white...

You are assuming that I have carnal worries. I leave it to God to judge me. I'm not afraid to die. Fear of death is NOT fear of the Lord. Nobody knows what God will judge on that day. To have a make believe assumption about that is just to deceive yourself. There are going to be a lot of...

That's the whole idea of grace. This life is like a changing room...getting on our robes of righteousness. And we are given time to do that...if we are permitted into the race for any length of time. Grace is not an eternal looking the other way. Grace is for a time. Nobody is going to be...

Actually...we can become worthy of a continuing life based on what we did with God's mercy and gift. That's the truth. So people will have a rebellious attitude towards it. It's only "natural."

We first receive His life and Spirit by sheer mercy. Nobody deserves mercy or grace. But then what we do with it can either be good or bad. So we will all be judged at the end for what we have done for what we have been given. The longer we have to live out the Christian life, the more fruit...

That's not our call. We have enough on our plate to get it right ourselves. We are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling...in the knowledge that God doesn't respect persons. He grades us according to what we have been given. No favourites...just a righteous judgment.

salvation now is a gift...but we will all be judged by our performance: what we did with what we have been given. Grace is the empowerment to do well so that God can both justify us and even give us a reward....based on what we did with what we have been given. Otherwise it is up to God to have...

We can be obedient to God at different distances. I think Marks puts everything on the new birth as being all there is...not realizing that the new birth is into a much higher and harder race. God is righteous. There are no free rides., To whom much is given MORE is required. So then whatever...

This is what wanky doctrine leads to. As if God cares not for our obedience. Of course obedience justifies us...in HIS sight. Not our own. You have to take the focus off yourself to understand God's ways. It is the one who DOES the word that is justified. The DOER. We will be judged by what we...

It's about time! ....(hehe....I'm kidding)

Ah, yes, a peculiar people! ;)

I agree. Nobody is born with a man bun. That is something that people get "wrapped up" in later in life. This can lead to many problems...just like having a mullet. These are things that you can grow out of...and change. But hey there are some things that you CANNOT change. You can't change...

Only if the hairstyle is predestined to be. You could limit that atonement to having one or the other. Unless one is irresistible. But then that would be unmerited.
