There is a fairy tale that parallels the fairy tale of the OP....entitled "the Emperor's new clothes." https://andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/TheEmperorsNewClothes_e.html

There is a sense that in carnal immature believers, Christ lies dormant within allowing people to indulge their temptations and stray from the truth. And then when a believer abides in Christ to walk in the Spirit, sin lies dormant (crucified) to allow a person to walk in holiness without sin...

A cup that is filled and overflowing has no impurities in it. The flow will take the pull of this world and it's temptations away before they can enter into the cup. Impurities do not flow upriver. Being filled with the Spirit means we will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Out of your...

Until men are crucified...dead to themselves and their own ideas...there will be divisions in the body. In Christ...all are united. The hard part is entering into Christ. We must sell all and forsake all to buy the field...the kingdom realm. Until then the church will be carnal...not...

...only as we walk in that life ourselves. We are to put on Christ. Not as in the modern idea of putting people on as a joke as in..."you're putting me on." There are a lot of jokers around who are putting God on. They are trying to fool Him. But there is also the real surrender at the...

Just with your take..interpretation....rendering...of the verse in question. Justified by His blood....means justified by His life....not death. The life is in the blood.

No...we are made righteous through His life in us. Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. So if we are IN His life then we won't crucify Him again with our sinful ways.

Forgiveness is based on mercy not blood. God is merciful. The blood of Christ is in exchange for our own lives. A life IN a life. And in Hebrew that is how the law is written when it says a life FOR a life.....in Deuteronomy. (the English isn't an accurate translation) Heb. 9:22 And almost...

But do you know how? The blood of Jesus is the life of Jesus. As we are washed in His life we are cleansed of our sins...so that we depart from them. This is not an issue of repeat forgiveness for the same sins over and over. This is a life that gives us a cleansing...a healing..from all sin...

You should suspect something is off when you agree with Behold. :) You are both wrong about the wrath of God on Jesus. The wrath of God is still coming. it's the devil that wants you to relax into a vegetative state thinking that all is peace and safety and there's no chance of falling under the...

Wow..talk about projecting. ;) What you are espousing is about saving yourself. Self: ME at your expense. So you justify yourself at the expense of the death of Jesus. And you are trying to justify your constant nonsense posting by making it look like I'm the one doing it. And that is the...

"Pauline theology?" We really must find this "Pauline" who is spreading so much disinformation.:rolleyes:

Not so much! Being born again is not the same as abiding in Him. Just like going through a narrow door doesn't mean you are continuing on the narrow path. One is an event and the other is a process. You are teaching the false doctrine of resting on the first gift as if nothing else is required...

This is backwards. God didn't judge His Son. People did. The bible says wicked men. What you are missing is that there is a difference between God...who is holy ...and wicked men...who are not holy. (that's why they do wicked things) Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and...

The OP is justifying himself IN his sin. But he is right when he says...that in Christ is no sin. Now then the problem is getting INTO Christ...being translated into the kingdom of God. And to do that one must sell all...abandon all, sacrifice all. God only accepts a perfect sacrifice. A full...

Jesus wasn't judged for our sin...He was judged BY our sin. This thread needs to be in a "Christian entertainment" section. It's too funny! :)

You have not yet understood the New Covenant. Grace puts us into a higher race. A more difficult race. The race of faith. Jesus is calling us into a more narrow walk...a kingdom walk. And to do so we need to be spiritually quickened into that possibility. But it is just a possibility...a hope of...

The OP is about being dead in sin. R.I.P. Saying peace peace where there's no peace. Being born again under grace is the equivalent of a person being born a Jew under the law. What condemns you in either case is to be smug about your birth.

This is true. But that life only comes out in Spirit and truth when we are crucified with Him...so that the outer man is out of the way. Jesus did not come to save the whole human...just a part of him...the inner man. So you can have things exactly wrong by being an enemy of the...

This would make a good add for an airline company. But it has nothing to do with the kingdom of God. The kind of faith that Jesus is speaking of is His kind of faith...not a human faith or belief. Even the smallest amount of the faith OF Jesus puts us on God's radar...and makes everything...
